Conservatives in the news again...

Here's a few random links I found that were interesting:



NEW YORK (FORTUNE) -- Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has decided to curb its support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) organizations after conservative Christian groups threatened a boycott, and after some of its own employees expressed disapproval.

The move comes a year after Wal-Mart (Charts, Fortune 500) had put on a gay-friendly smile. The company joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. It sponsored the annual convention of Out & Equal, a group that promotes gay rights in the workplace, and sold gay-themed jewelry in stores.

Some Franklin County Republicans aren't too happy with their party leaders' latest recommendation for the GOP City Council slate in Columbus.

It's not that he's gay, they say.

But Bill Brownson was national chairman of the Log Cabin Republicans in 2004 when the gay GOP group voted to withhold its endorsement from President Bush.

That, critics say, makes him disloyal to the party.

And here's a Dispatch article from the same day (Friday, June 22nd) about an anti-porn church
