SOME HALLMARK STORES NOT GOING TO BE CARRYING "GAY CARDS"


Certain Hallmark shops are simply not going to be carrying "Gay" cards because.. well they are gay!!

A manager says seven Hallmark greeting card stores in the Treasure Valley will not carry the company's new same-sex marriage cards.

Cassi Jacobsen, an assistant manager for the Jordan's Hallmark store in Nampa's Karcher Mall, says the family that owns the seven area stores has decided against carrying the new line of greeting cards. She said the owners were out of town and not immediately available for comment.
Reaction to the cards has been mixed.

Idaho Family Values Alliance Executive Director Bryan Fischer sent out a press release Thursday calling for local-area Hallmark stores not to carry the cards.

But Delmar Stone of Nampa, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers Idaho Chapter, called the cards "wonderful." [SOURCE]

Well obviously these stores are promoting homophobia. I am not sure how long this will last. If Hallmark wants their stores to sell them then would it not be mandatory for them to be in all stores? I Guess we will have to wait and see.
