Moral Alert: Home Depot Offends Christians By Embracing Pro-Gay, Undemocratic Bigotry
From our friends and colleagues at the AFA, this harrowing story:
Employee wearing patriotic button is fired. Employees wearing pro-homosexual buttons praised.
August 9, 2010
The Home Depot fired a employee for refusing to remove a “One nation under God” patriotic button from his work apron. Trevor Keezor, a Christian, said he wore the button to support his country and his 27-year-old brother, who serves in the military in Iraq (story and video here).
Dozens of homosexual employees participated in Home Depot-sponsored gay pride parades and festivals. Many employees wore numerous buttons on their aprons promoting homosexuality. The Home Depot defended them by saying homosexual employees will not be prohibited “in any way” when it comes to what they do and wear. The picture here shows employees who decorated their aprons for a Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in Seattle, Washington.
So…if you wear a “One Nation Under God” button, you will be fired. If you wear a “gay” button, you get company praise.
Sign the Boycott Pledge now!
TAKE ACTION
1. Sign the Boycott Pledge at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com.
2. Call your local store manager. Let the manager know that you will not be shopping at The Home Depot until the company stops supporting the homosexual agenda. You can find the number here. (click “Store Finder”).
3. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday School and church.
4. Extremely important! Post this alert to your facebook page (link above) and encourage others to join the boycott!
The gay agenda is now more widespread than ever before. It is one thing for companies such as Pepsi and McDonald’s to be corrupted by the gays and their endless quest to seem normal, but to have our very own bastions of morality and American male pride — the hardware store — corrupted by gays is patently frightening.
Hardware stores are for solid men. We buy homes. We work hard. We love our families. And we like to build.
Gays desire none of these things, so why must they take their agenda into a hardware store. Let’s be real. How many gays do you think would want to honestly do hard yard work on a Saturday or undertake a massive construction party. By nature, these people of whimsy and without good moral character of hard work. They are feminine.
That is just their nature and not meant to be offensive. Sure, there may be outliers to the norm, but the majority of gays have no desire to even go into a hardware store other than start trouble or peak around the gardening section. Whatever the case, it is the right of every American to wear such shirts.
Blocking our right to wear buttons that embrace our nation’s Christian heritage is against the Constitution. It is religious oppression, one the the things that our country and God is against. Join today and let’s set this straight, and help Home Depot get on the right track once more.

You just kinda lied right dere. “Hardware stores are for solid men. We buy homes. We work hard. We love our families. And we like to build.
Gays desire none of these things”. Well, i happen to be friends with to married (OMG!) gay men, and, well, they love each other, and do CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING WORK FOR A LIVING. “They are feminine.” Uhhhh, they are more manly than some straight people ive met. Just sayin.

There are so many ignorant statements in this article it is difficult to find a truth. “One nation under God” patriotic button? Really? That is a religious button, not a patriotic one. Our founding fathers wanted separation of church and state and were not all Christians. Look it up. The US has many religions within its citizens and those who do not practice religion at all. One nation yes, but not all believe in god.
Hate to break it to you but gay people buy homes, work hard and love their families. Guess what? They have waited on you at Home Depot too! And you didn’t even know it! Ha ha.
Get over yourself. People are people. We all love, work and yes, look and believe differently. But we are all people. Gay, straight,bi, trans, are put on this earth and deserve our rights and freedoms in the US.
My advice is to educate yourself and stop spreading the lies. You obviously don’t know anyone who is gay or have bothered to find out what it means to be gay.

This tripe is hilarious! The hardware store is a “bastion of morality”? BAHAHAHA! That’s a good one. And as for the hardware store being for men… I’m a 28 year old married woman and I asked for a Home Depot gift certificate for my birthday because *I* love to build, too. My husband is a chef and I’m a forester. He likes to cook and I like to build. You people are nuts. XD

I have been an employee at home depot since may, 2010. at my orientation back in may i was given a list of appropriate apron-wear. patriotic pins were on the list. this must have been an isolated incident, or a case of an offensive patriotic pin.
i’d just like to inform you that it is not within policy to disallow a patriotic pin.

The guy wasn’t fired for simply wearing a pin with the american flag on it. Home Depot has strict rules on what you are allowed to put on your company issued apron. He was warned several times to remove the pin and he could have a company issued american flag pin but he refused. Get your facts straight before you spew a bunch of lies on here. If you were a real Christian, you would do that. As for the support of the parade, there were children there and Home Depot was asked to set up a kid workshop table for them. By the way, these are the kids that were adopted by gays & lesbians. These kids were also given away by their parents (since it takes a man and a woman to have them). Who seems better here? I know many gay parents and belive you and me, they are better fit parents then most of the men/women I have met. Why don’t you worry about your family and your life instead of spending so much time hating others? I will pray for you tonight that you don’t burn in hell for having so much hate in you.
