Hallmark to Carry Same Sex Cards

Not sure how I feel about contacting Hallmark, but some of you may desire to. The gay thing sure is becoming mainstream.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire e-mail list of family and friends.

Hallmark defends gay marriage cards - Urge your local Hallmark store to refuse to carry them

Take Action!
Urge your local Hallmark store owner to join others in refusing to carry Hallmark gay marriage cards in their stores.

You can find your local Hallmark store contact information here.

Please be polite, but firm when you contact your local store.

August 25, 2008

Hallmark is reinforcing their decision to carry gay marriage cards with a message to supporters of traditional marriage – buzz off!

According to their website, corporate emails, and in response to phone calls, Hallmark is telling those who contact the company it will carry “cards that use specific language and images appropriate for same-sex wedding ceremonies.”

Same sex marriage is not recognized in 48 states, but Hallmark has chosen to become a corporate advocate in advancing homosexual marriage.

However, some local Hallmark store owners are refusing to carry them. Earlier this week, Jordan's Hallmark, which owns seven Hallmark Gold Crown stores in Idaho, announced its stores will not carry gay marriage cards in their stores.

Re: Hallmark to Carry Same Sex Cards

That's just crazy!

There are plenty of wedding cards that could be used for same sex already - doesn't have to be specific for them.. That's just nuts!

Wow I guess hallmark isn't as wholesome, family value supporting as I thought it was.

Re: Hallmark to Carry Same Sex Cards

I'm convinced that if Obama becomes President, same-sex "marriage" will be the law of the land before the end of his first term.

Then again, even if McCain wins, it will probably happen too.

Re: Hallmark to Carry Same Sex Cards

it's not only Hallmark, but lots and lots of people are compromising. Once it starts it's downhill from there.

That's fine but not all Hallmark stores will carry the cards. Many/most are not corporate owned. They are owned by individuals. They have say in what they will carry.

Re: Hallmark to Carry Same Sex Cards

I've already seen same sex cards on the shelves earlier this year, but I don't know who the manufacturers were. Sadly, I wasn't too surprised.
