Wal-Mart Values

Boy, you can't win for losing. Wal-Mart is under fire again, but this time from the far right, its traditional allies. What did they do now? They "further capitulat[ed] to the powerful homosexual lobby by recently partnering with the 'National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.'" Americans for Truth, "the only National pro-family organization solely dedicated to exposing and opposing the anti-Christian homosexual, bisexual and transgendered agenda," says: "It’s a real shame, and I think people who value traditional marriage and the Biblical model of human sexuality should sit up and take notice of Wal-Mart’s recent support of radical pro-homosexual/anti-Christian groups and policies that seek to destroy the time-honored institutions of marriage and family, and further aim to silence proponents of traditional family values.” But the truth is, Wal-Mart is one of the biggest proponents of the most American of family values, which is to say, the value of "show me the money." I'm not making fun. Wal-Mart only makes decisions that help the bottom line, and that is ultimately what matters in our society. So when Wal-Mart teams up with a homosexual group, people who value traditional marriage and the Biblical model of human sexuality should definitely sit up and take notice, but take notice of the fact that they aren't the powerful economic bloc they once were.
