Let’s play piggyback with the American Family Association

Community & Activism, Email, Fun, Politics, Religion, Sexuality, To Help, Writing, You have got to be kidding

I am stealing this idea from Fark. The AFA is incensed that Hallmark is making same-sex marriage cards and is boycotting the company. In addition, they have a very nice website where you can write to those durned lib’rals at Hallmark and give them what fer! As was suggested on Fark, it’s also a convenient way to send Hallmark letters of support. So pass it on, because I would be very happy if they got more support letters through the hatey website than hatey letters.

  1. Because I don’t want to be spammed by the AFA at my regular email account, I created a new one for this purpose. Here was my letter, using their bigoted letter as a template:

    Dear Chairman Hall:

    I am very, very pleased that Hallmark is recognizing legal marriages that venture beyond the traditional. Your advertising, that Hallmark sends the “very best” is correct. This is a wonderful move, and very much appreciated. Until they catch up and begin marketing similar cards, American Greeting Cards, your competitor, will no longer be getting my business.

  2. Yay for hijacking. I sent this one:

    Dear Chairman Hall:

    I am so very pleased that Hallmark is recognizing legal marriages that venture beyond the traditional. Your advertising, that Hallmark sends the “very best” is true now more than ever. This is a wonderful move, and very much appreciated.

    Some friends are getting married soon, now that they’re allowed to do so. You will definitely be getting my business.

  3. Here’s my version:

    Dear Chairman Hall:

    I am overjoyed that Hallmark is acknowledging a type
    of relationship which is common in 50 states. There
    was a time Hallmark told us to send the very best.
    Glad to see you have taken a giant step forward. No
    kidding. American Greeting Cards, your competitor,
    should be following suit if they can see past Donald
    Wildmon’s bigotry.
