Snopes: WalMark partners with gay organization
Urban legend is true, reliable Snopes.com says.

there is a link to a site run by Donald Wildmon that includes a handy form to send to Wal-Mart officials with criticism of this move. you can alter the message to THANK WalMart for being sensible on this account. Try it!

1. Fuck Wal-Mart
Being nice to gays does not make up for destroying local business.

5. This "family" shit gets to me.
These asswipes who have their heads so far up everyone else's ass they know what they had for breakfast think two old leisure-suit wearing freaks who do it missionary style in the dark and beget a couple of maladjusted kids think they represent American values! :puke:

4. Agreed

They are famous for costing a community 500K/store each year by raping the local health and social services from not paying benefits, but claim that when they give $50K back they are somehow redeemed. Same thing here to some degree.

But I do think they should be encouraged with this, for afterall this is something they could have opted NOT to do and likely have gotten away with. It's better than what they could be doing. They do need to do more though.

6. I disagree entirely with your second paragraph
Wal-Mart are doing this solely of out self-interest. They don't care about gay people. But by pretending they do, it distracts from the real issues, that communities are dying because Wal-Mart murders the local economy.

Two guys wanting to marry means jackfuck when people can't put food on the table.

3. my letter
I am pleased that Wal-Mart has made a decision to help promote the human agenda, including homosexual marriage. I will share this information with my friends and family.
