One Million Moms

After failing to convince JC Penney to fire Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson because she is openly gay, now the American Family Association’s group One Million Moms is putting Toys R Us in its cross hairs for selling an Archie comic book that features a same-sex marriage.

During last night’s Academy Awards broadcast, retail giant J.C. Penney debuted five new commercials featuring hugely popular daytime television talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres. You may recall that just weeks ago, Jc Penney came under fire from the anti-gay group “One Million Moms” over its recent hiring DeGeneres as its spokesperson.

NEW YORK — Radio personality Howard Stern this week angrily denounced anti-gay pronouncements and efforts by the right-wing conservative christian group “One Million Moms” to force retail giant JC Penny to remove Ellen DeGeneres as the company’s new spokesperson, and said he would defend Ellen from the “fucking bigots.”

Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday publicly responded to the anti-gay group “One Million Moms,” which recently called on retailer JC Penney to fire her as their spokesperson because she is gay.

Once upon a time, Bryan Fischer believed that trying to get someone fired from their job was a hate crime. But that is apparently only the case if the person getting fired is a Christian and the people urging the firing are gay because Fischer and the American Family Association are now trying to get JC Penney to fire Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson solely because she is gay.

TUPELO, Miss. — Retail giant J.C. Penney has come under fire from the anti-gay group “One Million Moms” over its recent hiring of hugely popular daytime television talk-show host, Ellen DeGeneres as its spokesperson.
