As you say, So much for Hallmark. Not that I've bought many of their cards lately. It's a cultural icon that has simply lost its place in an e-age. Texts long since way too sappy for my tastes.
The article I read (http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080821/
gay_wedding_cards.html?.v=8) included a statement that owners of individual Hallmark stores could opt out of carrying those cards if they wanted.
The small business owners probably just wanted to open a harmless little card store and now they're stuck in the middle of a controversy.
Hallmark, based in my hometown of beautiful Kansas City, sits in the backyard of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. According to the story, a young JC Hall was praying in that church when he decided to start Hallmark. There is a large crown over the altar. Coincidence?

Gee, I satirically posted about this a couple months ago at my blog, but I'm not surprised it's happening.
What's next? "Happy Euthanasia" cards? Abortion cards?
By by, Hallmark! Tom
Almost all businesses are gay-friendly nowadays and have been for years...how is this news?
It's about time that the Catholic Church realised that many of its congregation around the world are homosexual. At least this is celebrating the fact that two people are in love and want to declare it. If anyone saw the TV programme recently where John Barrowman tried to find out what made him gay and discovered in the end that it probably happened in the mother's womb if not before, would see that there's nothing wrong with it. It's nature, not nurture, and certainly not a choice.
