Anyone need a new bank? Need a mortgage or a car loan? How about giving Wells Fargo some love.
James “Squarepants” Dobson has severed all ties to Wells Fargo bank for promoting the vast homosexual agenda.
“Focus on the Family has elected to end its banking relationship with Wells Fargo, motivated primarily by the bank’s ongoing efforts to advance the radical homosexual agenda. These efforts are in direct opposition to the underlying principles and purpose of Focus, and thus a decision of conscience had to be made, and a stand taken.
Earlier this year we learned that Wells Fargo gave a matching gift to a pro-homosexual group to enable it to raise more money to fight organizations like our own. As one of Wells Fargo’s customers, we objected, and we received no satisfactory resolution from the bank’s corporate office.
The homosexual group’s web page said this: “Incredible news: Wells Fargo has offered to help support GLAAD’s fight for equality against the Anti-Gay industry by matching your tax-deductible contribution dollar for dollar.”
Don’t you just hate it when businesses promote acceptance and diversity? My God, where is this world headed when you can’t even count on your friendly neighborhood bank to hate the same people you do?
YAY! I actually bank at Wells Fargo, having deemed them the least evil of my available choices last time I had to choose a bank. Thanks for this post, Second Nature, I had no idea they were queer friendly, too.
Time to go write Wells Fargo a support letter to offset all the hate mail they’ll get from the fundie nuts…
Indy, if you have the stomach, read the FOF website section about the “myths” of homosexuality. Then take a hot shower.
Unfortunately, I know all about the Focus on the Family people. I’m related to people who think Dobson’s vision for America is too permissive.
But every time I take a hot shower with another woman I do like to think of FOF for just a second, usually something like “Suck on this, ya bastards,” before my mind stops operating on all cylinders; knowing how offensive that is to them makes a good thing even better. 😉
are also long-time WF customers — this is very good news. 🙂 And now I don’t have to worry about our money coming in contact with right-wing fundie money.
Need to do some financial transactions early next month (waiting till the new tax year — this year is complicated enough); I will try to remember to congratulate them on their pro-acceptance stand…
