You mean they haven't already? The moral majority must not be that up on the "enemy's" news Smile

Oh who knows how long someone will try to huff and puff and blow their house down.But, do you have a link to where you found out that they actually went ahead with the launch of the same sex marriage cards? I'm curious to read it. Thanks. Smile

I'm sure somebody will try. However I do hope they don't succeed. Thanks for the information I was not aware they had a SSM section.

I think that Hallmark is just trying to tap into a new market.I think it is a good move but why only SSM (same sex marriage).most of us can not marry, a lot of us are still dating. I mean, I know this is a new line but I think it needs to be expanded to all other gay and lesbian relationships.O .... and I am shear that the Christian Coalition or some other group will try.

The local gay & lesbian bookstore has been selling same-sex marriage and commitment ceremony cards for ages. They even sell the groom/groom and bride/bridge wedding cake toppers. So nothing new really.

Fortunately, any call for a boycott would have no effect ... People with black holes where their hearts should be have no one for whom to buy greeting cards in the first place.

I have no doubt the Southern Baptist Convention will call for a boycott on them, but Hallmark is too popular, and people are too smart to fall for that bull anymore. Note how unsuccessful the boycott on Disney was. Disney never even noticed, and the rest of us didn't pay attention to the ignorance spouting off of bigots. It's a shame people use religion as a tool to attack and hurt.

Yeah, Hallmark, that renegade company in that liberal bastion, Kansas City.
