We have loved our share of CFA but I will not support the hatred they spread. I want my kids to grow up in a world free of judgement and hate - and boycotting CFA is one small step toward a better future for our kids.Liz@momsmessydesknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-38588434731006515672012-07-30T12:42:59.098-05:002012-07-30T12:42:59.098-05:00I wholeheartedly agree with you!!

I strive to surround myself and my children with those who are open-minded, loving, and tolerant of those who are different. While I respect your right to have an opinion that is different from mine, it doesn't mean that I have to like it (or vice verse) or surround myself with it.Confessions From A Work-At-Home Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537552947779004296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-9510564186587131312012-07-29T11:22:40.872-05:002012-07-29T11:22:40.872-05:00I am always turned OFF when politics and"The ...I am always turned OFF when politics and"The LORD" are in the same sentence but that is a different subject.

She, like me, has many gay friends she loves. To support an organization that is against them would be tantamount to turning her back on them.<br />It's not silly at all.

In fact, I think that knowing where your money goes once given to a company (and the resulting types of organizations you end up supporting, though secondhand) is the mark of being a responsible, adult consumer. The fact that you feel decidedly anti-gay marriage and yet continue to shop at businesses that then give money to human rights and equal rights organizations with the purpose of furthering the fight to legalize gay marriage is your choice, but my money won't be going (even secondhand) to any organization that is known to fund anti-gay legislation and perpetuate closed-mindedness and hate.<br /><br />My family serves the Lord as well - through tolerance, love, a belief that everyone has the right to love whomever they please, and acceptance. And yes, those are values I happily pass along to my child.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367847227787762246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-69111151802396531222012-07-29T10:14:18.996-05:002012-07-29T10:14:18.996-05:00Wow Mr Anonymous couldn't even leave his name ...Wow Mr Anonymous couldn't even leave his name after posting that. <br />I want you to know that I whole-heartedly agree with you.

Wow, that's pretty childish. <br /><br />I happen to agree with Dan Cathy. If we were friends, would you boycott our friendship also? Please, grow up. <br /><br />Target, Amazon, Google and others are for "gay marriage". I'm not going to stop patronizing these companies because they've supported "gay marriage" causes. For my family, we serve the Lord. Patronizing these businesses doesn't mean that I support gay marriage, it just means that I like shopping there!<br /><br />I sincerely hope that you're not raising your child to behave as silly as you're acting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-17312532133202143592012-07-26T14:28:29.486-05:002012-07-26T14:28:29.486-05:00Thanks for the shout out!

I chatted with a good friend who's gay last night, and he made some very valuable (and admirable) points as well. He doesn't really care what anyone believes, as long as they're not ramming down his throat and trying to force their beliefs on him. If you go to CFA specifically because they support anti-gay organizations (which I have heard some people are actually trying to rally people to do so), that's another thing entirely. But in his words, "If you go there because it's tasty...guilty!" I have to say I loved his "live and let live" attitude.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233706048946454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-43731369320849961452012-07-26T10:46:17.777-05:002012-07-26T10:46:17.777-05:00Good for you and The Muppets (Jim Henson Company)!...Good for you and The Muppets (Jim Henson Company)!!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680149702916884794noreply@blogger.com
