Ok this is where hypocrisy really sets in with this group. Ellen is a spokesperson for Covergirl make up and there has not been a peep out of them. Why is that? Is make up ok to be associated with gay people and their buying habits where JC Penny’s is not.

Hey Kerry because someone disagrees with you does not equal hate speech. These people have a right to disagree with any of us on what they believe and will stand up for. As well we have a right to voice ourselves and stand up for what we believe. But way too often these days people will label someone a h8tr for no other reason other than they disagree with you on a certain issue. And this plays strongly in the gay arena. We live in a democracy and must be tolerant of others ideas and opinions when many times they may be set against you personally. This kind of freedom is what has made America great, the freedom of expression.

Say ‘Thank you!’ to JCP by swinging by to pick up crew socks or a t-shirt; you need some anyway, right? Who doesn’t.

Take a pic and post on the above facebook page.

Please Report the hate group One Million Moms to Facebook for hate speech and encourage your friends to do the same. FB policy claims to not allow hate speech on its site so this group is in clear violation of that policy. We also have started a petition at change.org urging FB to remove the page that I hope you will sign and share. Thanks!

Only teenaged girls shop there, so both demographics are wrong. & teens are hardly prudes.

These “moms” are probably the same butthurts who think that Atheists commercially celebrating a religious-free Christmas constitutes as a War on Christmas.

I am so happy that there is a person on TV so caring and so good. Every day Ellen does something good for someone. And you will feel good to. Her kindness shines and we need more people like her. I would like to call her friend and tell you, because of her I will shop at your store. I am a Mother,k youGrandmother,and a widow with four sons, four grandchildren, two daugher in-laws. Thank you,for picking her.

I don’t think that sexual preference has anything to do with marketing and selling clothes and other accessories! I personally worked with Ellen for their new commercial and she is a wonderful woman! I have also worked with Elton John! I say stop judging people because of who they are! I would love to see how OMM would react if one of their own children decided to announce they are homosexual or even bisexual! I am a straight single mom and I have homosexuals in my family! I don’t keep my children away just because of it! How can they teach their children good moral values by hating others for silly little things like this?!? One of my favorite Sunday school songs has a line in it.. ‘As I have loved you, love one another!’ god doesn’t care if you are homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual, he loves us all the same and wants us to love others as he loves us all!

Those One Million Moms wouldn’t have time for this bullshit if they were taking care of their children properly.

“Unless JC Penney decides to be neutral in the culture war…” Okay, if one looks at this as a “gay vs. straight” thing, having a lesbian spokesperson is not neutral. However, if this is how it’s going to be viewed, then having a straight spokesperson would also be bias. Perhaps OMM would be more comfortable if JCPenny were to invite an asexual individual to speak for their brand. Because, clearly, who someone is attracted to, and ultimately may have sexual intercourse with, is a major factor in whether they can speak for a company.

Why is it that simply having a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered individual represent a company, is automatically “pushing gays in the country’s face” yet heterosexual kissing and sex in practically every show and some commercials is fine?

JC Penny’s has asked Ellen to be one of their spokespersons. One Million Mom’s a conservative group is flooding the company with call’s trying to stop Ellen from being a spokesperson because she is a lesbian (and the gay agenda). When I called it was 200,000 against Ellen and 2 (that’s right) for Ellen. Please call them and let them know you support Ellen. As well let One million Mom’s know that they can not strong arm businesses with their agenda. And please pass this on.

Make a personal phone call to JC Penney’s customer service department. Their numbers are 972-431-8200 (customer service) and 972-431-1000 (corporate headquarters).
