Homophobes. Could. Starve.
As soon as I saw
this link from an advertising executive friend of mine in Canada, my first thought was that homophobes like the evangelist, Reverend Franklin Graham, are going to have to become hermits.
You may remember Reverend Graham from earlier this month, when he made a big fuss about moving his ministry's bank deposits out of Wells Fargo Bank because of the bank's pro-LGBT policies. He urged right thinking Christians to boycott businesses that don't hate on the gays.
Of course, the Reverend found out immediately, such a boycott is easier pontificated than accomplished. According to the Washington Post, in his own attempt to move his church's blessed money
Evangelist Franklin Graham, who urged his Facebook followers to boycott gay-friendly companies, has shifted the money from the organization his famous father founded from one LGBT-friendly bank to one that sponsored a Gay Pride festival fundraiser.
Oops.
That's only the beginning
The post from my Canadian friend, These 35 Companies Just Told America Exactly What They Think About the SCOTUS Gay Marriage Ruling points to a future life of isolation, deprivation and stark austerity for American homophobes who follow Reverend Graham's example.
The point of the post is that within minutes after the #LoveWins decision at the Supreme Court, dozens of the most ubiquitous consumer brands in America tweeted their obviously premeditated and full-throated support for the decision. Anyone might enjoy looking at the warm and supportive messages and all 35 images and videos. I plucked out a few to illustrate tha future in which homophobic boycotters like Reverend Graham and his followers might as well become hermits.
Not only will the hermit people miss out on delicious fresh fruits and vegetables.
THEY WILL SUFFER THIRST
THEY WILL WANDER ABOUT IN FILTHY RAGS
NO BREAKFAST
NO DESSERT
SQUATTING IN A FILTHY HOVEL
OUT OF TOUCH
NO WAY OUT
REALLY! NO WAY OUT
Hermits. They will have to become hermits. I for one, wouldn't mind if flights were less crowded.
