The Home Depot fires patriotic Christian, approves homosexuals
Employee wearing patriotic button is fired. Employees wearing pro-homosexual buttons praised.

August 9, 2010

The Home Depot fired a employee for refusing to remove a "One nation under God" patriotic button from his work apron. Trevor Keezor, a Christian, said he wore the button to support his country and his 27-year-old brother, who serves in the military in Iraq (story and video here).

Pro-gay messages are A-OK, but patriotic messages will get you fired at The Home DepotDozens of homosexual employees participated in Home Depot-sponsored gay pride parades and festivals. Many employees wore numerous buttons on their aprons promoting homosexuality. The Home Depot defended them by saying homosexual employees will not be prohibited "in any way" when it comes to what they do and wear. The picture here shows employees who decorated their aprons for a Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in Seattle, Washington.


So...if you wear a "One Nation Under God" button, you will be fired. If you wear a "gay" button, you get company praise.

2. Is there some new Alternative Universe Home Depot out there now?
Because the one in my town gave every impression that they were proudly right wing as Hell (literally) when Chimpy invaded Iraq.

Signs proclaiming "We Support the Troops AND the President" were all over the store. I walked out, told the manager why I was leaving, and haven't been back since.

When did "teh gayz" take over, exactly?

8. Those were the days of bush loving dick-head CEO Bob Nardelli
Later, he was one of the CEO jerks that flew into DC in his private jet to ask for the Chrysler bail-out.
Today, ask any HD employee about him.... They ALL hate him.
I shit-canned my HD card because of him..... Times have now changed for the better @ Home Depot!

7. We are busy fixing up our own wrecks
because we got them cheap. The Christians are so busy protesting and detesting us that they let things go.

4. There's nothing patriotic about "One nation under God"
That's a religious statement.
