OneMillionMoms is
revisiting an issue with JC Penney, this time contacting the retailer
about featuring lesbian partners in its May catalogue. The American
Family Association advocacy group is again requesting neutrality.
The
pro-family organization initially spoke out against JC Penney's
decision to have Ellen DeGeneres, a high-profile homosexual entertainer,
as its spokesperson (see earlier story).
Now, executive director Monica Cole points to pages 10 and 11 of the
retailer's latest catalogue, which are titled "Freedom of Expression."
"What is the purpose in stating on page 11 of their most recent
catalogue that Wendy and Maggie are 'partners?'" she wonders.
"Identifying sexual preferences is not necessary for selling clothes."
In
the catalogue, the women are both wearing wedding rings and are
pictured with two girls who are identified as their daughters. Cole
predicts that will not go over well with the retailer's supporters.
"Conservative families will not support JC Penney if they choose to be
advocates for the homosexual agenda," she asserts. "Sales will suffer if
JC Penney's corporate office continues to ignore our concerns."
Meanwhile, the OneMillionMoms executive director is certain the
company's homosexual supporters will voice their approval of the
catalogue. So she says it is time for conservative customers to once
again contact local store managers to object.
"OneMillionMoms believes there is such a thing as bad publicity," Cole concludes.
