Ellen Defeats One Million Moms

When One Million Moms has even the slightest victory, such as getting Kraft to pull its ads from GCB, they crow about it.

I just saw one of those JCPenney ads with Ellen DeGeneres (the Roman one) about a half hour ago and it was GREAT !

LOL

One million of ANY group is a minority.
One million imbeciles is a tragedy.

Way to go Ellen. Million Moms dropped their protest.

the righties are coming out of the woodwork and that's never a good thing. whenever they claim something of their own they are trampling over someone else to get there. for 'christians' they are horrid people.

Ellen v Million Moms? Hardly a fair fight!

The joke may be on J.C. Penney when Christians who make up a much greater percentage of the population than gays boycott the stores. I for one will never again patronize the store.

More and more surveys indicate that gay marriage is supported by more than half the population now. Go ahead with your little boycott, I think you'll find that they'll be just find without you.

The point went straight over your head. It is doubtful that many people will be more inclined to shop at J.C. Penney because of trying to appeal to gays as gays make up less than 10% of the population and anti-gay Christians make up a much larger chunk of the population. Just because slightly more than half of the population supports gay rights does not mean that they will go out of their way to patronize gay friendly businesses.

You seem to think Gays and their families aren't Christians.

They can call themselves whatever they want. Even if they were true Christins, they would make up a very small percentage of all Christians and certainly be vastly outnumbered by anti-gay Christians.

My church in Sayville where I've been a member the past 16 years, was founded in 1858. It's about 1/3 gay and lesbian. Since the mid-90's we've had 2 gay pastors and 2 lesbian pastors.

They are certainly the rare exception and not the rule.

Well, oddly enough (or by Divine Providence), when I first attended the church in Sayville, which I subsequently offically joined in 1996, I had no idea that the pastor was a lesbian (the congregation didn't knnow it either when they hired her, and she was the first female pastor ever hired by the church).

When I began attending the church in Albuquerque last year, once again I had no idea that the pastor was gay.

And when I began attending the church here in Casas Adobes, AZ in January, once again it was a surprise to me to find out that the assistant pastors is a lesbian and a "recovering Catholic".

And the assistant pastor of the Lutheran church I was a member of from 1990 - 1995 was also a lesbian.

But I did not seek out those churches because of that, as I had no idea of it, until after I was attending for awhile.

Come to think of it, EVERY church I have attended, exept one, or been a member of, since 1990 has had a gay or lesbian pastor. That is kind of strange, considering that isn't why I began attending those churches.

Maybe there's just more gay and lesbian pastors than most people realize. And 3 of the pastors of churches I've attended or been a member of, have been divorced.

Oh, SNORE. These boycotts never work. A few years ago the million twats, or whatever group whose panties were all in a bunch, tried boycotting Disney for their AUDACITY of promoting gay employees and fans. it failed miserably and now I doubt if anyone even thinks of it. I am sure plenty of Christians wander around Disneyland and get their kids "Lady and The Tramp" and "Little Mermaid" DVDs all day long without giving a thought to the anger of a few years ago.

This is always the way. Something shocking occurs and everyone says it is the end of civilization, then they get used to it and forget it.

In the 1920's women showed their legs for the first time in history and many thought it the end of the world. Now, do you bat an eye at a woman in a skirt that does NOT drag the floor?

Elvis was thought the end of morality and now he seems quaint and old fashioned. So were the Beatles and now they are old news.

In 20 years or so,when gay marriage is no longer an issue, the population will wonder what the fuss of these days was all about.

My experience is exactly the opposite concerning gay pastors. I knew of no church that I attended with a divorced pastor.

funny story:

The church in Sayville had never had a female pastor since it's founding in 1858. In 1995 they hred their first female pastor. After a few months she revealed she was a lesbian. She stayed a few years and tehn decided t move to California.

The church then hired their second female pastor. This time they knew she was a lesbian. She stayed a few years and then also moved.

The church then hired their THIRD female pastor in a row, and the third female pastor in the histor of the church. She was divorced. One of the first things she announced when she joined teh church was "I am not gay ! I am not gay ! I am NOT gay !..... But my ex-husband is !" LOL (TRUE STORY !:))(in imdb, in the film "MILK", he is listed under Production Design)

Gays and their most hardcore sympathizers do not outnumber the Christians who are liable to boycott the store.

Nobody's going to boycotte JCPenney over their Ellen tv commercials. Have you seen any of them ?
