Discrimination by an internet business?


I’m changing what I planned to post for today.

Quite a while ago, I was on an internet site to check out the possibility of making some purchases for Gunslinger Publications L.C., one of my two businesses. I signed up for e-mails telling me about special sales events. Today, while checking my e-mail there was a new offer. Posters were on sale for 25% off, if a certain dollar amount was purchased.

I clicked the link and, being a political person, began checking the political posters. The links included under this category included:

“Anti Democrat
Anti Republican

Popular Political Terms

GI John
Superwoman
Yes We Can
Demoblican
Obamacrat
Obama Salute
Republicrat

Other Candidates

Hillary Clinton
Ron Paul
Ralph Nader

Issues”

Anti Homosexual Marraige (I changed the three letter word used in the link to “homosexual” because the three letter word has been co-opted by homosexual activists trying to divert identification away from the homosexual behavior of their sin. I also wonder why the website uses the term “anti” instead of “protect” marriage since the site uses “equal” for the opposing view. Marriage was spelled as given in both of the links. Spell check must not have been working!—my addition)
“Environment
Equal Marriage”

Since I am opposed to people involved in homosexual behavior being allowed to marry and since I support the protection of traditional marriage, I clinked the Anti Homosexual Marriage link.

This is a portion of what was displayed:

“No Matching Results Found” (“No Matching Results Found”! How could that be? It was the link provided by the company! Why provide the link if there are no products!—my addition)

“Try selecting another topic or product. Or you can try searching different keywords.

1) Check your search keywords for spelling mistakes or typos.

2) Consider trying a more general or alternate search term. You might get better results for ‘elephant’ than for ‘pachyderm.’

3) Keep in mind that certain terms and content may be blocked from our system because it does not comply with our Content Usage Policy. (Could it possibly be that protecting traditional marriage DOES NOT “comply with” this business’s “Content Usage Policy”?—my addition)

4) “Some products may not be available in the Marketplace. Learn More”

The website has a link for posters to protect traditional marriage but no posters. Could the same be true for the “Equal Marriage” link? So, I clicked the link. What a surprise! Actually NOT! There was a poster for the “Equal Marriage” link and more!

The poster was titled “Equal Rights for all”

It was identified as “A subtle, tasteful way to demand acceptance.” (Notice it wasn’t identified as a way to ask for “equal rights”. Rather, it is a way to “DEMAND ACCEPTANCE” Everyone must ACCEPT the SINFUL behavior of homosexuality! It is DEMANDED! And the business is promoting this nonsense and not even providing an alternative choice in posters!—my addition)

Could it be that this company is deliberately discriminating against traditional marriage? Could it be that this company has been pressured by the homosexual lobby to discriminate against traditional marriage?

I don’t know why the selections are as they are. However, I did NOT purchase any product and I will NOT purchase merchandise from this company. I have a choice of where my money goes. It will NOT go to this business!
