NYC RITE AID SAYS NO TO GAY RIGHTS

So i found this intriguing at Queerity.com.

"Rite Aid simply ain’t right. A reader sent in this image from one of the pharmacy’s New York City locations (on Sixth Avenue at West 13th Street) and, as you can see, it’s not the most welcoming message.

This isn’t the first time Rite-Aid has found itself in a queer controversy. A DC-based manager came under fire last year after booting an “overly affectionate” gay couple.

The best part of this sign, we think, is mention of “anything that would make our customers uncomfortable is prohibited in the store.” We suppose manager Tom Marquez didn’t consider the gay customers in that one, huh? Someone else must have, because the sign, which appeared around 7am on Sunday, was soon removed…

And, just for your reference, here are Rite Aid’s corporate numbers and the number for Mr. Marquez’s location: 212-727-3720. Do with that what you will…" [SOURCE]

I am already looking to call. I mean come on.. Ewww.. People like that just disgust me.. They live in a world where discrimintation runs them. I dunno, maybe i am getting more mad over this then i should but i can't help it.
