“Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.” ~ Joseph Campbell
Via JMG: On Macy's Website
Free Republic is ever so pissed: While conservative activists have focused on the promotion of gay marriage by store chains J.C. Penny and Target, Macy's has gone under the culture radar in its partnership with the Obama-allied homosexual group, the Human Rights Campaign. The incoming president of HRC, Chad Griffin is an Obama bundler. You won't see it in Macy's weekly sales circular, and you'd be hard pressed to find it on the front page of the Macy's website, but the Human Rights Campaign is loud and proud in declaring its partnership with Macy's urging customers to purchase "election year" Vote Equality t-shirts with the proceeds going to the Human Rights Campaign.
Via JMG: Target Blocks AFA's Hate Mail
Last
month we snickered when the One Million Moms bitched that JC Penney was
blocking their emails. And now Target is doing the same. Snork! Via the
Christian Post: When Target began selling the pro-gay shirts late May, the American Family Association sent out an alert to supporters, asking them to let Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel "know that a majority of Americans oppose same-sex marriage and are able to use their pocketbooks to voice their opposition to companies that support it." In a recent update, AFA stated, "Target is blocking emails from the AFA Action Alert system." The family group is asking supporters to contact the retailer through other means. Steinhafel says that diversity is a "core value" at the retailer and that Target fosters "an inclusive culture." Family Equality Council is now among a dozen groups that Target partners with.Target, Macy's, JC Penney, Home Depot.... There sure are a lot of shopping options for loyal gays these days.

Right Lying
If
I’m torn between truth and falsehood, I have to ask myself if the
choice I’m leaning toward would be self-serving or selfless, harsh or
kind, harmful or harmless. Only then can I know what’s best to do.

IIn March, 24-year-old store clerk and gay activist Daniel Zamudio was
attacked in a public park in Santiago, Chile, beaten intermittently for
hours, carved with swastikas, and left for dead. He finally got to a
hospital, struggled for three weeks, and then died.
Observers are calling him the Chilean Matthew Shepard, because the
brutal murder has launched a national discussion about LGBT rights. An
antidiscrimination law that has been languishing for seven years is even
speeding through the National Congress despite conservative lawmakers
warning it will lead to same-sex marriage, among other horrors.
On Easter Sunday, the Nobel prize-winning writer, Mario Vargas Llosa, spoke out in an op-ed called “Hunting Gays.” He did more than the usual handwringing denunciation of violence; he published an indictment of all Latin America, whose countries, “without a single exception,” he wrote, repress, persecute, and marginalize queers “with the open and massively enthusiastic support of the general public.”
