A Gay Ol' Time At Wally World

The folks over at the American Family Association really have too much time on their hands. Many Christian organizations feed hungry children, shelter the homeless, cloth the naked and hold great bake sales.

Others, however -- like the AFA -- go around worried that a Ford Mustang ad is in The Advocate (Ed: What are they doing reading that magazine anyway? BaT: Music leaders and organists. Ed: Ahhhhh.) or that Wal-Mart is carrying one of the year's most popular movies on DVD:

The American Family Association, already involved in a national boycott of Ford Motors for advertising in the LGBT media, is now turning its sights on Wal-Mart for selling "Brokeback Mountain".

While the AFA has not yet called for a boycott of the retailer it is urging its members to complain to Wal-Mart managers "over the chain's decision to promote and carry the pro-homosexual movie."

"It's quite obvious to anyone who shops at Wal-Mart that they're no longer the family-friendly company that they used to project in their image," Randy Sharp, AFA's director of special projects tells Agape Press.

For now, Wal-Mart is resisting -- and playing the capitalism card:

But a Wal-Mart spokeswoman replied, "The fact that we are offering the movie is not an endorsement of the content of the movie or any specific belief. ... We simply offer the latest titles that consumers want."

Thataway, W-M PR flacks, now you're confusing them; call 'em commies. While you're at it, remind the AFA that Wal-Mart also supports prostitution, gluttony, witchcraft and really big apes with a thing for blondes.

And I hope the AFA doesn't find out Wal-Mart's real closeted secret: about half the men who work there are queer. In fact, Wally World hearts the homos as much as Costco and Whole Foods does. Besides, where else are people going to shop if not Wal-Mart? Target? Hell, three-quarters of the men at Tar-gay go Brokeback every Saturday night.

I wasn't going to buy the movie, because, well, I'm not into love stories. But guess who will soon be forking over $17 of his hard-earned cash to the Walton billionaires? Uh, huh ... me.
