The Nashville Gay Pride website notes that Home Depot contributed more than $5,000 to help finance the 2009 festival. The retailer also participated by conducting children's craft workshops at a special booth set up for them. The company has sponsored similar children's venues at pro-homosexual events in Atlanta, Kansas City, Durham, Portland, and San Diego.
Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel tells OneNewsNow the home improvement store is facilitating the exposure of children to sinful behavior.
"Out of some kind of notion of political correctness and being tolerant, Home Depot is contributing to all of this," he notes. "They're contributing to the corruption of children, and they need to answer for that."Many parents are already outraged and are taking action, according to Barber. "I would tell parents to go tell Home Depot that they don't appreciate it and that if they continue it, they're going to take their business elsewhere," he adds.
Barber says that will help drive a message home to company officials that in the interest of political correctness, they are driving away business and alienating a large percentage of their customer base who do not appreciate children being exposed to debauchery.Other corporate sponsors of the Nashville event included Southwest Airlines and Bridgestone Tires.

Are YOU driving on gay tires? THINK ABOUT IT.
The Mad Prophet of Florence is castigating a DYI chair for sponsoring crafts-booths for kids at Gay Pride events:
Outside Savonarola's Amen Corner, who knew that crafting exposes children to debauchery? If that's really the case, then millions of American housewives devoted to scrapbooking are, apparently, nothing but big ol' hos.
The more obvious point that seems to have eluded The Savster and the bigot he cribs in the post it's not like kids found at a Gay Pride Festival are being introduced to something new and terrifying. They are there with their gay parents. One doubts Mr Cassidy would have said to the Missus after morning mass, "Hey, let's take the kids to see the Home Depot crafts workshops at the gay pride parade in Spartanburg."
Really, boys. Man up. Talk about something that can be repeated with a straight face.

Well, what can you say about persons such as Mr. Barber? Like everyone else in the USA, he is certainly entitled to his viewpoints and to the expression of them. Our First Amendment rights are to be cherished. However, isn't it a shame that Barber and his ilk cannot get past their prejudice and accord others the respect they surely desire for themselves? The sad fact is that a large segment of society still regards gay men and women as second-class citizens - or worse. That is the salient point of my recently released biographical novel, Broken Saint. It is based on my forty-year friendship with a gay man, and chronicles his internal and external struggles as he battles for acceptance (of himself and by others).
