JCPenney "doin' it right" again...#1

Posted: 6/1/12 at 10:36am

In what appears to be a direct response to the failed boycott campaign of anti-gay group One Million Moms, JCPenney yesterday unveiled a new Father's Day ad featuring a same-sex couple playing with their children.

I've never particularly liked their clothes, but I might stop in there this weekend to show my support for them.

I've always found that Penney's is great for "basics" are far as clothing goes. Slacks, jeans, shorts, capris, t-shirts, etc. If you're just looking for a pair of khaki shorts then you'll usually win at Penney's. Their home department is top notch though.

I used to think I didn't like their clothes, but I just bought a nice suit from them the other day. Reasonably priced and an excellent fit--it won't require any tailoring. So, my opinion is changing about their product. And I'm happy to give them my money because of their views.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Great place for window treatments!

JC Penny's spokesman is pretty classy as well. Could not have said it better myself.

Who would've guessed that Penney's would become the outspoken gay advocate department store?

It was always the place my mother took me and my brother to buy clothes as a kid (oh, the "huskies...). Then, as a young adult, I got the whole 'tude of "I'm-too-good-to-shop-there" but recently have found it to be a practical choice.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I recently discovered I have a JC Penney that's only a 15 minute drive away during the whole Ellen debacle. I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely be going back!

I seldom buy clothes there, but you can't beat JCP for bath/window stuff. And my wife buys all her purses there. When our kids were younger, much of their clothes came from JCP.

Penney's is smart to embrace the gay community. We are fiercely loyal and the gay dollar will help their brand immensely.

Also, you can't beat their basics and their window treatments.

Homophobes want there to be no acknwlodgement whatsoever of homosexuality in the public sphere. Imagine if someone tried to say the same about Christianity.

But of course that's exactly what they pretend is happening, when they carry on about things like the so-called war on Christmas.

Oh, baby, after spending two days reading comments on Chick Fil A's Facebook page, I know that better than ever. In the strawman battle about religious liberty, the only examples I see of people infringing on the rights and lives of others are the relgious people themselves.
