Pissing off The American Family Association

I love pissing off the right wing nutcases that, with support by their Republican lackies, have managed to bully their way into American society. Recently the rabidly anti-everything American Family Association(AFA)attacked Wal-Mart of all things for their plan to sell "Brokeback Mountain" when it is released on April 4th.

The group through its bully agent Agape Press said:

"It's quite obvious to anyone who shops at Wal-Mart that they're no longer the family-friendly company that they used to project in their image. We've seen a downward spiral trend by the Wal-Mart Corporation in which they are more and more becoming like the world rather than the family-friendly company we grew up with."

Amusingly, if you search Wal-Mart's site with the word "gay" you get 1600 responses for "family" it is over 21,000 so I think families are not in danger of being forced off the shelves.

So I am going to piss them off, I am breaking a long standing tradition and going to Wal-Mart and buy a copy of the DVD. Although I hate lining the pockets of the evil Wal-Mart, it will send a message to the AFA that they can not influence our buying through their hate and bigotry disguised as "family values". I hate that phrase "family values", simply a euphemism for hate, bigotry and oppression.

Do it too if you are so inclined. But always rememer, be sure to first support your local owned stores.
