The anti-gay hate group American Family Association is calling for a nationwide boycott against The Home Depot because it says the home improvement retailer continues to “promote the homosexual agenda.”
The AFA points to The Home Depot’s website, which promotes the diversity-oriented organization it supports, including “Out and Equal Workplace Advocates,” an LGBT advocacy group that supports workplace diversity, marriage equality, and activities such as Transgender Remembrance Day. The Home Depot also supports the Human Rights Campaign.
The AFA has been listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
