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.

GAY CARDS MADE BY HALLMARK

Awww. You probably understand sometimes the frustration when you go looking for a card for your loved one, especially if they are gay. I have gone several times to look for an anniversary card and they always have a man and woman on the cover or something of the sort about a man and a woman. Not really fair if you're gay right? Nope!

Anyways, Hallmark has decided to make some profit in this field. Good Idea!!

Hallmark has joined California and Massachusetts in recognising gay partnerships.

The popular greeting card company has been rolling out same-sex wedding cards featuring two tuxedos, overlapping hearts or intertwined flowers, with best wishes inside.

"Two hearts. One promise," one says.

The language inside the cards is neutral, with no mention of wedding or marriage, making them also suitable for a commitment ceremony.

Hallmark says the move is a response to consumer demand, not any political pressure.

"It's our goal to be as relevant as possible to as many people as we can," Hallmark spokeswoman Sarah Gronberg Kolell said. [SOURCE]


I think this is bloody brilliant. I can't wait for them to cross the border up to Canada. Next anniversary I will so get one. I love the one above, "Heterosexuals are so last year". MUHAHAHAHA.. BRILLIANT!!
