Social Conservative Stupidity 101: We Cost American Jobs

Downright stupid and illogical social conservatives always seem to brighten my day as I laugh at their sheer gullible stupidity.

Here we have one of their leaders, knuckle-head Linda Harvey, saying that gays have cost jobs:
The National Organization for Marriage just released a very interesting report about the companies that support homosexuality as marriage; they are paying a price, literally, and of course, when a company doesn’t do well that means jobs in America are lost. Here are the specifics: the marriage group quoted an article in Forbes which tried to soften the reality of their findings but the truth is companies that support same-sex marriage lose positive band perception among both Democrats and Republicans. This reputation-loss is more pronounced among Republicans but the consumer distaste goes across party lines. The brands that were studied included Amazon.com, American Apparel, Apple, General Mills Brands, Google, Home Depot, JC Penney, Levi’s, Macy’s, Microsoft, Nabisco, Nike and Starbucks. I don’t know about you but in our house of those mentioned above we no longer patronize Macy’s, Home Depot or JC Penney, we no longer order from Amazon and we no longer buy any General Mills cereals. Some of these companies may be seeing a downturn in sales, when that continues it can lead to layoffs and lost jobs.
Basically the hag is unknowingly admitting that since these companies have endorsed gay marriage and have pro-gay policies, social conservatives are so anti-gay and homophobic that they will refuse to do business with these companies.

If this is true (which I highly doubt, being that corporate brands are falling in popularity across the board and in particular oil companies), then that means these childish anti-gay reactionaries like Linda have no one else to blame but themselves for the apperant losses at these companies and the joblessness that has been created being that THEY are the ones who are promoting the death of these companies to suit their homophobic rhetoric.

Stupidity at its best.
