Hallmark, a privately owned company and the biggest name in greeting cards, is releasing same-sex marriage cards.
This latest marketing venture comes despite the fact that homosexual "marriage" has only been imposed by the courts in two states. The cards include two tuxedos on the front or two hearts intertwined.
The company made the controversial decision to begin releasing the cards, despite the fact that a vast majority of Americans support traditional marriage as between one man and one woman.
We can only wonder whether the company, which also owns the Hallmark Channel that defines itself as "the quintessential 24-hour television destination for family-friendly programming and a leader in the production of original movies," will try to push this new view of "family values" through its television broadcasting.
We shouldn't be totally surprised by this latest move.
Last year, Hallmark started offering "coming out" cards for homosexuals to announce their sexual orientation to their family and friends. As a business owner myself, I assert that placing profits over character should never be a good business decision.
We've all given or received Hallmark Cards – remember their slogan – "when you care enough to send the very best." But promoting same-sex marriage for profit is not the very best for families or our nation.
Hallmark is a private company obviously driven by greed. Let them know you do not appreciate Hallmark promoting a lifestyle which is illegal in 48 states. American Greeting Cards, Hallmark's competitor, does not offer same-sex marriage cards.
TAKE ACTION:
Send an e-mail to Hallmark. Ask them to stop promoting a lifestyle that is not only unhealthy, but is also illegal in 48 states. Please forward this to your friends and family.
