Tesco - every little gays

Tesco used to support Cancer Research UK. They ditched them and now sponsor London Gay Pride. Christians are called to protest. Read about it here: http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2011/11/07/why-has-tesco-thrown-its-enormous-weight-behind-a-gay-pride-event/

They're still supporting cancer research. Google 'Tesco race for life' Hope they're insisting those pesky gays take part!

OP, did you bother do any research yourself before swallowing the tripe in that article?

Even your thread title is lazy!

Credit where credit is due: I think it is a very creative title, given that Tesco's slogan is Every little helps.

Should this thread be in After Hours? It seems a bit more AH-ish at this point...

In fairness it is a bit of an odd one, abandoning a charity to support a life style choice groups seems a bit ridiculous IMO

It would, if that were at all true.

Also, how is being gay a lifestyle choice?

There is another thread currently running in this forum called "Why the Catholic hatred" (rather confusingly, since it is rather about so-called anti-Catholic hatred).

The existence of this thread pretty well answers why a lot of people feel so negatively against Catholicism.

Most people have no problem with the fact that a large number of people in Ireland are Catholics who should be allowed to practice their faith freely and without harassment.

But people hate that vocal strand of Catholicism which is petty, hateful, and which is obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. They hate that strand of Catholicism which can twist any news item to beat their homophobic drum. They hate the fact that just expressing disagreement with the RCC church can have you accused of being part of some imagined anti-Catholic conspiracy. They hate that variety of Catholicism which tries to cling to its old position of political power and to dictate to others how they must live, and which squeals so loudly every time another finger is prised loose from the rudder that steers this nation.

This is an extremely depressing thread, that makes me wonder if I have anything in common with some people who call themselves Christian.

If they've actually completely dropped cancer research completely, in favour of this, I forsee the biggest PR nightmare this side of Armageddon

TESCO charity trust, support national and local charities,this year they have supported alzheimers,the red cross, children in need ect and will continue to do so,they have the web site that you can enter for your charity,local tesco shops will still donate to cancer research,so the newspaper is only pushing its anti-gay dogma, tesco like other major stores do like to pick charities each year,cancer research has had a good run from tesco,this year its for the gay pride,[just the english stores] scotland, ireland [north and south]and wales will have their own charites, maybe we should have a charity for fallen priests

Indeed. And Catholics should be ashamed of this newspaper for trying to speak for them and skew things to try to make people believe that Tesco are dumping Cancer Research because they'd rather support Gay Pride.

This is far from the case, normal thinking Catholics know it, and should try their best to distance themselves from this complete bullsh*t!

super_furry · 08-11-2011 11:28AM

So just another wilfully ill informed Catholic gay-hating rant? Nothing to see here folks.

This is a serious matter: Tesco have chosen to support a lustful entertainment event which is totally anti-family and anti-Christian. It is not acceptable.

Tesco has signed a deal to become a major sponsor of London Pride, the UK’s largest gay festival, as it outlines plans to host its biggest ever event in the capital.

Tesco will also host a family area designed to provide families attending the event with a ‘safe, relaxed and chilled out’ place with family-friendly entertainment and activities aimed at younger children.

Seems pretty pro-family to me.

I think you mean "not pro-Christian", which is not the same thing

I was going to post some of the pictures from previous gay pride events, but in the interests of common decency, I won't.

Anyone who has seen what goes on at these gay prides knows that they are indecent and impure, unnatural lust-fest, a celebration of everything that is impure and depraved, and any parent who brings their poor children to such an event needs their head examined.

I won't be shopping at Tesco anymore.

If you were to take grave objection to every anti-Christian practice that came across your way from week to week, you wouldn't be able to step outside the door in the morning.

Keaton, as obnoxious as it is to complain about Gay pride, you seem to be ignoring the main concern of most people on this thread: What you said in your original post is not true.

I read the article. Tesco is now supporting gay pride. That is the issue. They might be continuing to support CRUK, but that's not what the article said.

Anyhow, this is about a supposedly family-friendly company supporting an impure lust-fest. Have you seen the pictures? How is this family-friendly? How is this decent?

Gay people can have families too. Shock horror.

You quoted me, but did not in any way reply to what I said. Do you accept that what you said is not true?

I say again: have you seen the pictures? How can you justify bringing innocent little children into that environment?

Not just the rc's spreading the unchristian anti-gay hatred: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/08/anglican-newspaper-defends-gaystapo-article

Depressing indeed.
