In the recent months, supporters of gay rights and equality and grown by leaps and bounds. I, and many of you, I'm sure, thank those for their support whole heartily. But one of our longest supporters is in need of our help too. JC Penny has long been a supporter of equality and they have done so conspicuously and not in subtle undertones. JC Penny's niche has long been to bridge the gap between discount stores and high end retailers. With the punch to the gut our economy has taken, those hardest hit are those crossover stores. But rather then touting the real reason for the struggles, those who oppose equality are saying that the decline in revenue for the stores is due to their support for us. It is high time we show Penny's the same love they have shown us. If each of us who are effected by bigotry and prejudice would spend $5 a month, we can turn things around for one of our biggest allies. (Of course more would be cool too.) But I think it would kill two birds with 1 five dollar bill. We can show some love, and we can show just how many of us are out there and how our money speaks just as loud. JC Penny's biggest competition is Kohl's which has refused to support the equality efforts. Let's show them what they stand to lose by standing still. Love to all, especially our supporters.
