Question Details: "Sears has thrown its support to the LOGO network. LOGO is the 24-hour cable television network dedicated to programming for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders according to a homosexual advertising website. It is carried on many cable systems around the country. Many of you have been forced to accept it as part of your cable package. Sears is now helping to make it mainstream! Sear's advertising will help LOGO air shows like "Sex 2K Drag Kings," "The Gayest and Greatest of 2006," and "Transgeneration." Sears advertising (two-minute infomercials) will go to help the fledging network get on firm financial ground. Sears advertising is financing LOGO's push to legalize homosexual marriage in addition to promoting the homosexual lifestyle. Sears is owned by Kmart Corporation." Question was thrown out because I listed the link to the information source: American Family Association and was called "spam". That tells me the homosexual community doesn't want this out!

Sears WAS our favorite place to but appliances. We'll be going to Lowe's now...As a Christian, I am not supposed to judge others, but I will not give money to a company who supports something that I know is wrong.

If one is to accept your argument then christians shouldn't support companies that supports jewish programming either.
the reason that LOGO exists and that advertisers support it is that it makes them money. Businesses are (for the most part) not egalitarian enterprises driven by social concerns but money making operations looking to build value to its stock holders. The reason LOGO exists is because it is making money for its parent company. the reason Sears advertises is that the Gay/Lesbian demographic has a higher disposable income than most other sectors and they want that money. they don't care what the audience does other than buy their product.
Further your crowing about being "forced" to accept it. well here is a simple answer DON"T WATCH IT. My cable company forces me to have Christian broadcasting channels on my service where they espouse messages of hatred, intolerence and greed. I would prefer that they not be offered, but I have a simple solution I don't watch those channels. beyond that I don't care.
Also for someone who is so offended by the channel you seem to know a great deal about their programming. Are you secretly watching it on the down low.
Or does it scare you that it exists because you are afraid that you won't be able to control your own secret desires?
In the end why do you care if it exists and what is on it? What does it really matter to you or anyone else. Even if it is on your cable, you have the ability to block the channel from view by your children and to change the channel yourself. Stop obcessing over our lives and take care of your own first!

As a "Christian", which by the way means "Christ like" I would think tolerance would be at the top of your list. The only one to judge in God himself. I think you need to take a deep breath and ask yourself if you are behaving in a Christ like manner or a judgmental manner. If you are standing in judgment of others, then you really should take more time and read the New Testament with Jesus's words in red. He accepts ALL of his people. If you don't want to shop at Sears or Kmart, then don't. If you don't want to watch the LOGO network, then don't. Otherwise, keep your intolerance to yourself and quit attributing such behavior to Christ. He preached love and tolerance, not judgment and hatred.

Shop where ever you feel the need to do so. Sears is not going to be hurt by losing yours or anyone elses you get to go along with you business. In fact, people who applaud tolerance and equality for all people will start shopping at Sears when they haven't before so it will offset any loss. This is what happened at Wal Mart when the same people tried to boycott them. The gay and equality supporting communities started shopping there to show appreciation for the support.

Oh, no! It's a big old gay conspiracy! And with Sears! *shock*
Are you being forced to watch this network, or these commercials? Should all stations be all Christian programming 24/7, or better yet, programming that YOU decide to air? Get a grip on yourself.

Uganda is properly over 70% Christian, with Catholics making up over 40% of the inhabitants. The proposed legislations is barbaric and poor. Leaders from the Anglican, Pentecostal/Evangelical and Islamic traditions in Uganda testified for the duration of parliamentary hearings, extensively endorsing the spirit of the bill, even with the truth that some objected to the inability of life penalty provisions. as a lot as now, there is been little public remark from Uganda's Catholic administration. yet their silence is one in all condoning this barbarism. Rick Warren stated, proper to this legislations: " ... this is not my own calling as a pastor in us of a of america to remark or intervene in the political approach of alternative international locations." properly Rick, sure it really is! As a non secular chief, to standby and say or do no longer some thing is only as IMMORAL because the atrocity itself. In October, a Ugandan parliamentarian named David Bahati, a member of the ruling nationwide Resistance move and an Evangelical Christian, presented the "Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2009." To element a number of its significant provisions: In a nutshell, the degree would set up life in reformatory because the penalty for even a unmarried social gathering of gay habit (which the bill defines in photo element). It also creates a sparkling class of "aggravated homosexuality" concern to the inability of life penalty. Examples comprise: gay relatives with a minor or a disabled human being; situations the position the "criminal" (the fellow starting up the gay come upon) has HIV, makes use of drugs or intoxicants you receive sex, or wields authority over the "sufferer"; Repeated gay acts. everybody who fails to record homosexuals to the police would face a reformatory time period of three years. The bill also bars the "promoting" of homosexuality, in language that could actually outlaw professional-gay help or advocacy communities.

I'm bi and I don't care that the information is out. It makes me want to shop at Sears and K-Mart, so thank you! Hopefully they'll have something I like, and my lesbian wife can melt a credit card anyplace. We'll be certain to tell our LGBT friends, too!

businesses don't necessarily support any lifestyle or group of people, they are just doing what is in their best business sense.
if Sears had a gay day or something like that I wouldn't go there that day, but that won't stop me from shopping there other days.

If you do not want to watch, change the channel.
I'm not interested in watching it either, but I for one unlike an intolerant christian am not going to try to push a message of hate and intolerance by trying to ban this activity.
You are a perfect example of a christian hate monger.
