American Samizdat

Friday, June 24, 2005. *
The US Southern Baptist Convention, representing the country's largest Protestant denomination, has ended its eight-year-long boycott of the Walt Disney Corporation over its allegedly pro-gay policies, due to the realisation that it has had no effect. The move follows a similar decision last month by the American Family Association, a conservative Christian group, which ended its nine-year boycott, during which it urged supporters not to visit Disney theme parks, movies or stores because of the company's policy of holding gay days at its parks and offering health benefits to the same sex partners of employees. [...] US financial analysts have said the boycott had little or no discernible effect on the company's earnings.

[As an added fuck you to the Christians, here's a link to the Leather Pirates of the Caribbean. Ha! You lost, we won. You are ineffective and unwanted. We, meanwhile, are having a fabulous time at the Happiest Place on Earth.]
