Im tired of hearing whiny bullshiat from gays over the smallest thing. Get the fu*k over it already, and get over yourselves.

/Look they just gave you marriage in some more states, go fawn over the positive instead of attention whoring at any possible moment, seriously

Since when is a flash mob supporting a company's decision a protest?

prompting protests from the LGBT community


Reading comprehension is hard. Right, subby?

Diogenes: SphericalTime: Sigh. Jack Mackenroth is dreamy.

I just wish he didn't have those stupid hipster star tats on his elbows.

Those are the modern day equivalent of patches on the elbows of a brown cordurouy sports coat. FWIW.

For a group of people who have railed endlessly against 'the rules" they seem to have a lot of them.

We've got to find a way for groups to get the attention they so obviously crave in a way other than protesting.

The world will be a better place for it.

Well, their logo IS a box...

Greg Rothman, who organized the event on Facebook, told HuffPost Gay Voices he felt particularly inspired when Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly, who is known for having conservative views on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lifestyles, spoke up in DeGeneres' defense. "I thought, 'Well, the tide of public opinion must be changing,'" Rothman said.

Sir, I'm sorry to inform you of this but O'Rielly's comments are not neccesarily indicative of a changing tide. You see, he's what you call a douchebag-contrarian. He just likes to be on the other side of what's popular. The kind of guy who roots for Darth Vader when he watches Star Wars...live in DC, but he's a Cowboys fan...he never likes the movies that are Oscar nominated or the songs that are played on the radio. He's just looking for attention.

JCP 2011 Revenues: $17.7 billion

Yeah, I'd say they're doing okay for themselves...

D_Evans45: Im tired of hearing whiny bullshiat from gays over the smallest thing. Get the fu*k over it already, and get over yourselves.

Wait, so some socially conservative organization boycotts JCPenny because they had the NERVE to hire a *gasp* LESBIAN (who just happens to be a very famous and popular comedian/talk show host) as their spokesperson...

The "Gay Community" decides to show their support for JCPenny in their decision as a reaction to this boycott...

And you're accusing the Gays of "whiny bullshiat?"

That's an interesting interpretation.

Hmm...can't tell if you're a troll or just someone who has literally no idea what you're talking about.

abhorrent1: Reading comprehension is hard. Right, subby?

Also, this. Some uptight moms with a blog got their panties in a knot and demanded that JCP fire Ellen as their spokesperson.
JCP said "Yeah, no. Go away now. We love Ellen."
Ellen went on her show and stated as much, and the LGBT community decided to start shopping at JCP instead of Northern Outfitters/Flannel Iz Us.

Are you saying that Bill is a hipster?

But in this instance O'Reilly took the position that the overwhelming majority of people took. He's not being contrarian at all.

There's a difference?

Activists on both sides need to get a life. LGBT activists are just as obnoxious as American Family or whatever that group is. What I find distressing is that DeGeneres is a lesbian. How could anyone not fall in love with those eyes? (he said like he would have an ice cube's chance in hell of even talking to her, even if she was hetero.)

What all the anti-gay folks should focus on about DeGeneres is how much good she does for people. I don't have figures but it seems like she gives away more and helps people more than most celebrities. Or is that just a good PR person? I'm not sure about those groups that oppose her, but my faith informs me that I am supposed to support those who help others - as in actually help others, not get the government to help them.

I don't get why the "One Million Moms" group was upset about JCP hiring Ellen as a spokesperson. I mean, she's like the least "offensive" lesbian celebrity around. She doesn't go around actively trying to agitate people or go all super-soapbox with her causes. If JCP had hired Rosie O'Donnell, I'd understand the reaction, but oh well.

I guess it's just like any other "outrage group" (on either the left or right) that has to do something stupid and ill-advised just to advertise their continued existance...

One Million Moms only have a membership roll in the thousands, yet their cumulative weight is 1 million pounds and each member has thousands of rolls.

So he's a hipster?

Mr. Right: Activists on both sides need to get a life. LGBT activists are just as obnoxious as American Family or whatever that group is.

Yeah, how stupid of them, protesting the fact that there are people out there trying to keep them sheltered and oppressed. They should just be quiet and take it, right? Let some crazy vocal douchebag conservatives push around companies to only hire straight, married white people who don't have abortions and love Christ?

The LGBT activists are doing the work they need to do to end this ridiculousness and just finally get them the rights they deserve as humans.

Think about his audience and his expected position. He's no longer a news maker so it would not have made a difference had he come out against Ellen. I'm sure Rush has already taken that position and articulated it. He was mentioned because his unexpected reversal is more news worthy. I think he knows this.

Mr. Right: Activists on both sides need to get a life. LGBT activists are just as obnoxious as American Family or whatever that group is.

Yes. People trying to be treated equally under the law are just as obnoxious as people who are trying to get an entire group of people to be treated like second-class citizens. I'm glad someone finally had the courage to say that.

I don't agree with this. What exactly did the "LGBT Activists" do wrong in this scenario?

NuttierThanEver: Now subby if this was about a gay man I would agree that his peers would hold him to a higher fashion standard. However with the majority of lesbians I have known the primary fabric in there waredrobe was flannel so I don't think they will throwing stones.

I know quite a few lesbians who do not wear flannel, but they all work in a professional office environment and they are quite attractive.

If you ask me One Million Moms need something better to do than worry about the parts people enjoy playing with.

Diogenes: If it hadn't been for these boycotting nitwits I wouldn't have even been aware of Ellen's partnership.

Political Streisand Effect?

Old_Chief_Scott: J. C. Penny is still in business?

Huh.

Is Ellen still married to Porch Chair or whateverthefark her name is?

You mean Portia de Rossi? (new window) According to wiki they're still married at least.

It's kinda funny you say this as I think people like you should eat a dick.

He's kind of right, although probably not for the right reasons. Anyone with a parade is a douchebag. End of story.

i'm a dad because the same women let me inseminate her four times and still hasn't left me.

because of this, i must wear st john's bay polos. i will say that at 10-12 bucks a shirt, they ain't bad at all.

Promoting clothes and housewares that will infect America with teh ghey.

Seriously, what does Ellen's private life have to do with her business with Penny's? Who farking cares?

All those people are just jealous they can't fark Portia. Hell, I'm straight but I would turn for her.

I think you're forgetting that once in a blue moon Billo takes on a position that someone who is not a complete piece of garbage would take (not saying I like him or anything, just saying once in a while he takes a stand for something not evil). I recall there were a handful of times he blasted Bush for how he was conducting the Iraq War (and not necessarily for hawkish reasons as I recall).

Mr. Right: LGBT activists are just as obnoxious as American Family or whatever that group is.

You know, if the Christian Taliban just treated us like human beings, we wouldn't need any activists.

So yeah, you can't really blame us for that one.

LL316: He's kind of right, although probably not for the right reasons. Anyone with a parade is a douchebag. End of story.

The Irish? Macys? The New York Football Giants?

Disagrees:

JC Penney -- for when you only have five pairs of Dockers, but you wanna have ten.

CapnBlues: JC Penney -- for when you only have five pairs of Dockers, but you wanna have ten.

or maybe that's Sears.

All I know is never carry a kfc chicken leg through JC Penny's withou a body guard.

How could you not like Ellen? She's such a sweet lady, energetic, happy all the time. I wish Ellen was my first grade teacher back in the day...

So, wait...I like to shop at JCP. Will this make me teh ghey?

/Or just fashion challenged?

I guess I'm more cynical. I always took those rants as a deposit into the bank of sanity and truth. He needed to keep a balance if he were going to maintain the lie that he was a bi-partisan voice who happened to disagree with everything that Democrats did. The majority of his shows are withdrawls of derp that he used to make it rain on Fox news viewers.
