Praying For Home Depot
January 17, 2012
It appears that Home Depot, in response to the American Family Association's boycott, is silently dropping public support for the homosexual agenda. Here's why:
-In 2009 and 2010, Home Depot sponsored and marched in at least 16 separate gay pride events. After the boycott began, Home Depot's participation dropped to just four events in 2011.
-Home Depot has ordered its employees to stop wearing their highly recognized orange aprons to any homosexual-themed events.
-Home Depot's philanthropic arm, The Home Depot Foundation, now prohibits grants to "festivals" and denies requests for workshop kits and aprons. These had previously shown up at homosexual events on a regular basis. The homosexual groups have remained silent about Home Depot's moves, fearful that other companies may follow Home Depot's lead.
-Since the boycott began, not a single homosexual group has publicly supported Home Depot. However, it could be that the homosexual groups have agreed with Home Depot to simply remain silent, continuing to get money from Home Depot but agreeing to not publicly acknowledge Home Depot's support.
-Over 600,000 people have pledged to boycott Home Depot. Those pledges have been delivered to Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake and the board of directors.
But now is not the time to back off! Now is the time to support the boycott even more. Other companies are watching Home Depot to see if the boycott is successful. That is why we need to give it another boost!
TAKE ACTION
1. Pray for Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake to make wise decisions regarding his company's direction.
