LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) -
One Million Moms
-- a plan of aAmerican Family Association
-- is really indignant duringJC Penney
.No, not since it sells sweater vests (heck,
Rick Santorum
is a fan of those), though since a Texas-baseddepartment store
has hiredEllen DeGeneres
as a spokeswoman.And DeGeneres is -- evidence a frightful song -- gay, and open about it.
"Funny that JC Penney thinks employing an open homosexual orator will assistance their business when many of their business are normal families," a million (or so) moms write on their website. "DeGeneres is not a loyal illustration of a form of families that emporium during their store. The infancy of JC Penney shoppers will be annoyed and select to no longer emporium there."
One Million Moms is seeking people to call JC Penney to complain.
With this campaign, One Million Moms, that claims to be "the many absolute apparatus we have to mount opposite a immorality, violence, vulgarity and impertinence a party media is throwing during your children," is going after one of a country's most-beloved radio hosts.
The moms wish JC Penney "to reinstate Ellen DeGeneres as their new orator immediately and sojourn neutral in a enlightenment war."
Fat chance, says a
Gay and Lesbian Alliance
Against Discrimination."A immeasurable infancy of Americans currently support Ellen as good as their LGBT friends and family members,"
Herndon Graddick
, a GLAAD orator pronounced in a created statement. "Selecting an out performer who has desirous and entertained millions, is not usually a intelligent business practice, though a thoughtfulness of how LGBT Americans currently are an constituent and valued partial of a fabric of a culture."DeGeneres' daytime speak uncover has some-more viewers than a American Family Association has moms. Between Jan 16 and Jan 22, "Ellen" averaged 3.38 million viewers -- or 2.38 million some-more people than a AFA has moms.
American Family Association did not lapse a ask for comment.
