Home Depot Continues to Sponsor Homosexualist Events

From the American Family Association:

Home Depot digs in, issues statement to AFA
January 23, 2012
Well, it looks like we got our hopes up only to have Home Depot knock them down.
Last week we reported that Home Depot appeared to be pulling back its support to homosexual activists. We spoke too soon. Immediately after we released our findings, Home Depot said it will continue to support homosexual activities.
Home Depot issued this email statement to AFA:
"We have never changed our commitment to diversity and inclusion of all people, and we have no intention of doing so. Nor have we changed our apron policy or the guidelines for our charitable giving."
It now appears Home Depot is also breaking its own written policies. 
Home Depot's online policy states it will not sponsor "...festivals, dinners...fundraisers...," yet it sponsors gay pride festivals and Human Rights Campaign fundraising dinner events.
Home Depot's official spokesperson told AFA that employees are not allowed to wear their orange aprons outside its stores. But according to gay supporter Jordan Humphrey of Illinois, in the first week of 2012, "over 30 orange aprons showed up in Champaign's new-years pride-fest."
Every homosexual organization Home Depot supports has as their top priority the legalization of homosexual marriage.  

The AFA is running a boycott of the Home Depot over this.  Every Catholic who's concerned about the push for same-sex "marriage" and the homosexualist agenda should support it.  You can find out more at their website.

Life News: Pepsi Shareholders Demand It Stop Using Aborted Fetal Cells

A truly disturbing article.

Pepsi shareholders have filed a shareholder resolution with the Securities and Exchange Commission and PepsiCo demanding that the company has been contracting with a research firm that uses fetal cells from babies victimized by abortions to test and produce artificial flavor enhancers.

As recently as May, Pepsi ignored concerns and criticism from dozens of pro-life groups and tens of thousands of pro-life people who voiced their opposition to PepsiCo contracting with biotech company Senomyx even after it was found to be testing their food additives using fetal cells from abortions.

Might as well rename the company Soylent Green... er, Cola.  Boycott Pepsi.

LSN: Home Depot pledges to continue support for gay agenda despite massive petition/boycott

ATLANTA, Georgia, June 10, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - For several years, Home Depot has thrown its support behind activism; now it has indicated that it will continue to do so despite being handed a petition with almost half a million names asking the company to “remain neutral in the culture war.”

According to the American Family Association (AFA), Home Depot has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals. AFA charges that by conducting kid’s craft workshops at special booths targeting youngsters, the company has deliberately exposed small children to the lewd displays of sexual conduct by homosexuals and cross-dressers that are a common occurrence at these events.

It's clear which side Home Depot is on in the culture wars.  They will not be getting a single dime of my money from now on.

Boycott the ACS?

Browsing Lifenews.com brought me to this article.

Its springtime and Relays for Life, the American Cancer Society’s main fundraiser, are happening in cities all across the country over the next several months. It can be difficult for pro-life advocates to decide exactly how involved to be in events like this, as we can all agree that curing cancer is an important goal, even something worth supporting.

Unfortunately the American Cancer Society is not an organization I can support, as they have been linked to organizations that support abortion, human cloning and Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research (HESCR).

Question is; should Christians and other pro-lifers boycott the American Cancer Society until they stop funding abortion and embryonic stem cell research?  Every moral principle we believe in says "yes".
