It would appear that in addition to donating a tonne of money to anti-gay and anti-choice organizations, paying male employees more than female employees, and continually squashing their worker's right to unionize, Walmart is coming out of the closet with their gay hating ways. They are selling a children's book (yes- a children's book) by Janice Barrett Graham, wife of Standard of Liberty president Stephen Graham***, called Chased By An Elephant; The Gospel Truth About Today's Stampeding Sexuality. The book was intended by the author to, "help shed the clear light of truth on today's dark and tangled ideas about male and female, proper gender roles, the law of chastity, and the God-given sexual appetite."
Angry. Angry. Angry. Angry. Really, really, really angry. Have I mentioned that I am really angry?
***The following is taken from the SoL website: Standard of Liberty is an LDS-oriented educational foundation which exists to raise awareness of radical sexual movements overrunning America's Christian-moral-cultural life and to inspire the public will, families, and individuals to counteract these trends.
and yet they won't sell other things for being offensive. I guess offensive is in the eye of the beholder. :( I hate shopping there anyway so this just gives me more reasons to stay away.
