The conservative Christian political action group American Family Association - known for its boycotts of LGBT friendly businesses - has turned its attention to Nike.

The Oregon-based sporting goods company announced last month that it was supporting a bill in the state legislature to allow civil unions. (story)

Following the Nike announcement the bill last week passed the Senate (story) but is expected to face a rough ride in the Republican-controlled House.


but they could care less that Nike uses cheap labor in SE Asia

1. Good.instead of Nikes, perhaps they could all purchase

cement shoes and take a swim

2. Then I MUST get some new Nikes!!!

Nike supports gays? Well, all right! HAVE to get me some of those shoes then. It's been a while, they're a little more pricey than they used to be. But still. How cool. Way to go Nike!! Oh goodness, hugs and kisses, this is such a good thing to hear. An American company, acting like Americans.

They haven't won YET, the neocons. Not YET.

Thank you Nike!!!

3. Now Nike will have to choose one half of its market or another. This

neocon shit is going really well for corporations isn't it?

4. I gotta get new Nikes myself!

despite the fact that Nike uses cheap labor in SE Asia and got ratted out by Michael Moore for it.
