Oh yeah, good thread. They're all like "Hallmark just lost my business" like they ever leave the house to buy greeting cards, LOL. Maybe these businesses showing support for gays are trying to rid their customer base of the most brain-dead retards so they don't get sued for something stupid later? Whatever, I'm sure Hallmark is worried about these buttmunches.
Satan's final gound: the greeting card industry.
Next stop: Botanicals. Then over priced candy. Then, THE WORRRLLLDDD!!
Market forces. I thought you Republicans were in favour of that.
You're confusing "Republican" with "Conservative."
Republicans are now the big government party, haven't you heard?
My wife and I are getting re-married (our marriage's legal aspects were invalidated), plus each of us has a best friend entering a same-sex marriage in the coming months. We'll keep Hallmark happy that they brought these cards out just between us!
@Laura: Even if they do leave the house, they've alienated so many friends and relatives for Jesus, they won't be needing many cards anyway.
As soon as I saw the this mentioned as a news article on my home page, I knew it wouldn't be long before I saw it mentioned here.
I don't think it's Satan so much as a business descision by Hallmark to embrace a new market, but that is because I am not a fundamentalist. I imagine they realize they will, in all probablity, lose a few customers, but gain them in the long run as more people buy same-sex marraige cards for their friends, relatives, and so on. Since the upward trending of my generation, Generation Y (also known as The Nintendo Generation) and generations after us now seeing homosexuality as a normal genetic sexuality, their market can only grow. Good for you, Hallmark, for taking this step.
@ Amanda: Not for each other, apparently.
And your mama and your aunts and your friends certainly aren't supposed to be happy about your same-sex marriage!

True, so very true. We won't remind them of that, though, they need their illusion that their little group is going to bring Hallmark to its knees with the power of their disapproval.
Oh, and congrats on the wedding. :o)
Hallmark also has quincinera cards, pet bereavement cards, divorce cards sone of which are solemn, others that are like woooohooo divorce!, cards targeted at different ethnic groups. Miscarriage bereavement cards,many cards for jewish celebrations, and my favorite Christmachannukka cards!!! Bet hallmark makes lots of money.
There's all the materials you'll need to make your own cards at Hobby Lobby.
...but will you be able to figure out how to use a word processor/clip art/a printer?
Oh, and Hobby Lobby - despite their rigid stance on contraception - have investments in the manufacturers of contraceptives.
Well, there's another well-known business that's gone the way of the dogs. Yep! Hypocrisy is alive and well among fundies. Shame on you, Hobby Lobby!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
