Backlash against Hallmark’s gay marriage cards
August 27th, 2008
Just days after the announcement that Hallmark is to sell gay marriage cards, the backlash has begun. Conservative Christian group Concerned Women for America has spoken against the company for ‘pushing homosexual messages’.
“Hallmark is jeopardizing its brand as a family-friendly company,” said Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America. “Customers used to be able to trust Hallmark to produce quality products that were safe for all ages.
“Now parents will need to steer their kids from Hallmark’s section of the greeting card aisle and away from its previously heartwarming movies for fear that they too will push homosexual messages.”
Janice Crouse, also from CWA added: “By latching onto the latest fad generated by the homosexual special interest groups, Hallmark is negating its image as a wholesome company that promotes American values and pro-family principles in its products.”
“American businesses have a corporate responsibility to the public that buys their products.”
“Instead of bolstering campaigns by special interest groups like the homosexual activists, corporations like Hallmark should be protecting American culture from those forces that would destroy the family and create a public environment that is detrimental to general well-being, especially children’s well-being.”
