By way of [livejournal.com profile] raynedanser:

Apparently, the AFA has a problem with Hallmark offering same sex wedding cards. (You know what? Here's a simple solution. DON'T BUY THEM. It's easy as that.)

Isn't it a joy to see a company like Hallmark showing some spine?

It seems the American Family Association (AFA) has up an online form to send Hallmark hate mail for making same sex marriage greeting cards. What a shame it would be if people used it to send Hallmark support mail instead...

Takes a second and is easy to do. Please forward it along...

Automated! Convenient! FUNNY.

Go and foil, before they get smart figure it out. (Ed. because that'll never happen.)

Just the thought of Hallmark getting lots of email originating from AFA supporting their stance on gay marriage is putting a big smile on my face. What they said, do it before they figure it out. Bwhahahaha!!


ETA: (thanks [livejournal.com profile] eyesfullofhope!)
Hallmark is now blocking emails from the AFA, according to the AFA website. But I sent the chairman a separate email from MY email address.

The chairman's email is sgronb3@hallmark.com.


Pass this along, please!

Pass this along, please!

Heh! I did mine. I altered the text to read:

Dear Chairman Hall:

I am OVERJOYED that Hallmark is taking a stand and providing quality cards to mark the joining of two people in love NO MATTER WHAT THE SEX of either individual. Same sex marriages have as much right to a quality Hallmark card as mixed sex marriages. There was a time Hallmark told us to send the very best. Glad to see you have taken a giant step up. WELL DONE! American Greeting Cards, your competitor, will NOT be getting my business.

I just remembered what I was supposed to do today and I don't know where I put your work email. CRAP.

I have stuff I can send you;)

Awww, thanks. I took the opportunity to write Hallmark a love letter and promise them my business.

Mwahahahahahahahaha! Oh god, that made my day. Thank you for passing this on ♥

Dear Chairman Hall:

I am DELIGHTED by the news that Hallmark will be carrying same-sex congratulatory occasion cards. Hallmark does now and always will care enough to send the very best, and we who will gladly purchase and send these cards thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Hallmark is and remains my top greeting card choice.

Hats off to you!

I had it pointed out to me that, with the volume of mail they'll be getting from the AFA site, they'll probably just assume it all says the same thing rather than sort out the good comments. However, Hallmark has their own contact form (http://hallmark.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/hallmark.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=UWAzPacj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=1718&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0yNjQmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x), and from that they apparently do read the mail.

I sent them a congratulations e mail as well. Hope the AFA reads them.
