fire_girl_1000 Le Scratch I think it's a good step. Especially about telling those people who hate it to take their business elsewhere rather than getting cheeky - it shows that they know how to handle it from a professional prospective. They aren't available everywhere, which both proves problematic for the 'small town' homosexual and their supporters and proves that this has to be taken one step at a time. American attitudes don't change overnight but it shows that the pockets of most resistance are in the small towns - particularly the rural south and midwest. I agree. If they really do want to support us, then they should of just put them in the small towns and the bible belts - it could stir some more talks and maybe get things moving there. True. However, it also takes looking at it from a business prospective - while there are plenty of people in those large cities who will consider buying those shirts, there are far less such people in smaller towns. The added revenue in the cities helps counteract lost business from those who hate the gay rights movement, but in small towns there might be enough negative attention to force a store out of business. With the attitudes present and the economy still recovering, it's not worth the risk in capital.

I think the goal is to once again, start talks, rather than to be swept under the rug like they usually do.
