There Are So Many Better Reasons to Boycott Wal-Mart

From News Channel 5:

COLUMBIA, Tenn. Wal-Mart's affiliation with a gay and lesbian business coalition has prompted a Tennessee church and its 150 members to boycott the discount retailer. . . .

Trinity Family Church, a nondenominational church in Columbia, called on 150 members to quit patronizing Wal-Mart operations because the [National Gay and Lesbian] Chamber of Commerce supports gay marriage.

Trinity Family Church is not alone. The American Family Association recently urged its constituents to take action against the popular retailer, but the word "boycott" appears nowhere in the AFA press release. The AFA is also upset that Wal-Mart sells so many gay-friendly products. I suppose any item that uses the word "gay" or "lesbian" in a positive or neutral manner should be relegated to back-alley shops and seedy Internet stores.
