I must admit they deserve some kudos for introducing cards celebrating same-sex marriages. The fundamentalists are up in arms though and are calling for a boycott of Hallmark.
Some examples of their wailing:
- Madonna in Shasta Lake, CA writes, “We’re supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin…loving them isn’t condoning their sinful choice.”
- Lucretia in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA writes, “I will no longer, ever, buy another Hallmark product, under any name, unless you pull these cards.”
- Brenda in Olivehurst, CA writes, “Not only I, but my entire family no longer buy cards and gift from your company, and we will not as long as you promote homosexuality.”
- E. in Vista, CA writes, “I will not buy cards from your company anymore as long as you cater to this tragedy.”
If you’ve got the time, why not drop Hallmark a note telling them thanks for not being the bigots these zealots would prefer them be and for recognizing the relationships of gay couples?

"People who advocate freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are people who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without the awful roar of the thunder and lightning.
Without struggle, there is no progress. This struggle might be a moral one. It might be a physical one. It might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. People may not get all that they pay for in this world, but they certainly pay for all that they get." ~ Frederick Douglas
