I personally found this story hilariousThe Family Research Council claimed that “anyone with half a brain” should boycott PayPal over its pro-gay stance… but they’re not including their own donors in that category.
The internet payments company this week scrapped a planned HQ expansion to North Carolina after the state’s governor signed a law permitting discrimination against LGBT people – opting to search for a new home in a state where all employees will be protected.
Following the decision, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council declared in an email to supporters: “Good riddance! Anyone with half a brain shouldn’t want that kind of extremism operating out of North Carolina anyway.
“There was a time, not too long ago, when most corporations would have probably moved out of a state if it did allow such lunacy.
“Now that Big Business has been co-opted by LGBT activists, it’s not just demanding — but punishing — anyone who thinks the safety and privacy of our daughters is too much to pay for political correctness.”
But LGBT activists have noted that despite the group savaging PayPal and telling their supporters to reject their extremism, their website tells a very different story if you try to donate money.
Attempting to donate $100 to the group through their central payment system, we were very surprised to see the preferred option is… PayPal.

This is beautiful, thanks for the laugh

2016-04-06, 08:19 PM #6DeletedWhat I found more amusing was a site saying boycott PayPal whilst using PayPal as opposed to the irony of a company claiming an anti-homophobic stance being used by homophobes - I guess in their defence they can't choose customers just business decisions Originally Posted by wheresmywoft

Or phrased differently: if you're a halfwit you should boycott PayPal over this.The Family Research Council claimed that “anyone with half a brain” should boycott PayPal over its pro-gay stance

This bit confuses me. Why do they think their daughters are less safe or are having their privacy invaded?“Now that Big Business has been co-opted by LGBT activists, it’s not just demanding — but punishing — anyone who thinks the safety and privacy of our daughters is too much to pay for political correctness.”

That is pretty awkward. The best part about it is, as usual, their flimsy morals will melt away in the face of hardship. Next to no one will stop using paypal over this. Originally Posted by adam86shadow

I don't think a lot of anti-gay people are really using paypal anyways? I don't think it is a big overlap to be honest.

What do they hope to accomplish with this stunt?

Yeah, it's funny that they can't be bothered to put their money where their mouth is. Originally Posted by adam86shadow

Think about that one for a while, it's a stunner.“Nostalgia was like a disease, one that crept in and stole the colour from the world and the time you lived in. Made for bitter people. Dangerous people, when they wanted back what never was.” -- Steven Erikson, The Crippled God

I think it's a reference to allowing transgendered M>F "men" in womens restrooms. Originally Posted by Kalis
