Home Depot has a history of supporting homosexual events, the most recent parades in Portland, Maine, and in Boston.

On Wednesday, July 21, the American Family Association called for a nationwide boycott of The Home Depot because of its support for the radical homosexual agenda, and in particular for exposing young children to homosexual behavior.

Despite extensive communication between AFA and The Home Depot, HD officials remain unmoved and resolved to continue allowing their affiliates to sponsor as many pro-gay, pro-transsexual events as they’d like.

According to the AFA president Tim Wildmon, “The Home Depot, through any number of its affiliates, has given its money and its name to gay pride parades and festivals. We’ve appealed to them to stay neutral in the culture wars, but they are determined to keep using their influence to push the normalization of homosexual behavior. Every one of these pride events pushes the recognition of homosexual marriage, so The Home Depot has clearly chosen sides on that issue.”

Home Depot spokesman Stephen Holmes said, “At the end of the day here, we’re not going to…forbid our associates to be involved in these pride festivals in any way.”

A mother who attended the Maine Pride festival sponsored by The Home Depot wrote on the Maine Pride Facebook page that a number of women exposed themselves to her young children, all of whom were under the age of 10.

Holmes said, speaking for The Home Depot, “The bottom line is, it (remaining neutral) just runs counter to our inclusive culture…and that’s where we stand.”

Mr. Wildmon responded: “It’s astonishing and appalling that The Home Depot would defend its sponsorship of events like this.

“The problem for The Home Depot is that when it comes to shopping for home improvement products, America’s moms and dads have a lot of alternatives. We’re calling on all American families to exercise their freedom of choice by boycotting The Home Depot until it agrees to stay neutral in the culture wars.”
