Oh No - not Wal-mart too!!

My brother had read/heard that Wal-mart was join the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and wanted to make sure it was the truth! Here is the e-mail below.

Is this article true?Wal-Mart asks for, and receives, permission to join homosexual marriagegroupWal-Mart comes out of the closet

Dear Brian,Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, has asked for and receivedpermission to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The NGLCCis a leading promoter of homosexual marriage. Read "Wal-Mart Partners With Gay and Lesbian Group" Although Wal-Mart has never excluded homosexuals from being employees,customers, or suppliers, the company wanted to be more closely identifiedwith promoting the homosexual agenda. Wal-Mart is now a "corporate member"of the NGLCC, putting their approval on the NGLCC's efforts to abolish thedefinition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. A Wal-Martvice president will serve as an advisor to the NGLCC, helping them promotehomosexual marriage.Wal-Mart agreed to give $25,000 to the NGLCC and to pay for two conferencesscheduled by NGLCC. Also, Wal-Mart will give homosexual-owned businessesspecial treatment when making purchases. Companies not owned by homosexualswill be moved down the list.NGLCC called Wal-Mart's action "part of the company's ongoing commitment toadvancing diversity (homosexuality) among all of its associate, supplier andcustomer bases." Wal-Mart is offering the same kind of support for homosexual marriage whichFord Motor Company has been giving to homosexual groups for years.

I am certain a number ofpeople with similar beliefs will join us in boycotting your organization.Thank you,Brian Hargis

Bless your heart if you were taken in by that sub-standard hoax; be brave and contact Wal-Mart yourself and learn the truth. Sadly, I expect you know it is not true, and you just don't care that He knows you know.

Sydney - thanks for leaving your comment. I did do my research and this blog of correspondence between my brother and Wal-mart is an actual e-mail. I would be glad to forward that e-mail to you, but you left an anonymous blog comment. Here is my brother's quote, "Yes, Leigh, the answer I received was directly from Wal-Mart corporate as an answer to my email/question of Is this true?" My brother is constantly revealing hoax e-mails that "we" send out from time to time. This was his very own dialogue with the corporation of Wal-mart. I have no idea your stance on this matter, but i hope this at least just lets you and others aware of where Wal-mart stands. I am so proud of my brother going the extra mile to get a direct quote from Wal-mart and not just assuming.

Have a wonderful day!
