Wally is Back
| Tweet |
Looks like my boycott of Wal-Mart can come to a quasi-close.
In what may seem as an immediate response to AFA’s calls for a boycott during after-Thanksgiving sales, Wal-Mart has just issued the following release:
Wal-Mart will not make corporate contributions to support or oppose highly controversial issues unless they directly relate to our ability to serve our customers.
Wal-Mart does not have a position on same sex marriage and we do not give preference to gay or lesbian suppliers. Wal-Mart does have a strong commitment to diversity among our associates and against discrimination everywhere.
This is a nice result. I’m glad that people spoke out and were able to get Wal-Mart to change course. Now if only they’d stop using sweatshops in China, I could feel good about shopping there…

One courageous individual has opined already. Care to pontificate as well?
#1 Naiah Earhart | November 22nd, 2006 1:17 PMTheir statement is so double-pandering. The first half appeases those who are against it all; the last sentence assures the gay rights activitsts that they do still matter. Lovely diplomatic doublespeak.
