Dear Tim,
As I wrote in my recent e-mail, I am always thrilled to hear from you! As a person who is both gay and transgendered, I so appreciated you alerting me to Home Depot's commitment to equality for all people. In fact, I posted this information on my blog and my Twitter account, and my friend Neil Gaiman -- a bestselling author who has well over a million Twitter followers -- kindly reposted it. You and the AFA are doing a wonderful service for Home Depot! Neil and I have heard from several people who have already made a point of shopping there to thank them for their enlightened policies regarding gay and transgender employees and customers. Again, thank you so much for spreading the word!
Very sincerely yours,
Poppy Z. Brite

Poppy, one minute of your time will make a huge difference.
Home Depot thinks you don't care if they target children at homosexual events. I say you do!

AFA really needs your help on this one. The Home Depot has told AFA it will continue to put its money and employees behind homosexual pride parades and festivals. And, they will continue setting up Kid's Workshops at gay events. See the proof at www.boycottthehomedepot.com.
Please, take just a moment to join me and others in sending a strong message to The Home Depot that you will no longer stand by and do nothing.
More than 50,000 people have signed the pledge in just five days, but you can help us make a huge difference. Sign the pledge to boycott The Home Depot now!
And, I want to offer you a FREE 6-month subscription to the AFA Journal. Whether you sign the pledge or not, the AFA Journal is yours at no cost, just for visiting the BoycottTheHomeDepot.com website. Simply click on the AFA Journal icon at the bottom of the page to start your no-obligation subscription.
Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President
