Texas Supermarket Chain H-E-B Forsakes Christian Roots, Promotes Homosexual Agenda!
H-E-B Supermarkets, a Texas-based private chain which owns 304 stores, has decided to fund the homosexual agenda in San Antonio, their hometown, and in Austin.
On Saturday, June 17, 2006 – on Father's Day weekend no less – H-E-B sponsored the San Antonio Homosexual PrideFest event at HemisFair Park from 3-11 p.m.
H-E-B also had a parade float in the Austin Homosexual Parade this year on Saturday, June 3rd, 2006. There, in the midst of The Cockpit Club, Bound by Desire, The Texas Gay Rodeo Association, The Transgender Advocates of Central Texas, and The Central Texas Boys of Leather, is H-E-B Grocery Stores with a planned float #56, complete with employees dressed in the characteristic H-E-B red shirts.
Founded on solid Christian values back in 1905, Charles Butt, the CEO since 1971, has clearly taken the company in a different direction.
After San Antonio Christian radio talk show host Adam McManus on 630, KSLR ( http://www.takeastand.net/heb.asp ) exposed the H-E-B sponsorship of the homosexual agenda, hundreds of his listeners e-mailed and called H-E-B with their complaints. Plus, he's offering a downloadable petition exposing H-E-B.
In response, H-E-B defended and attempted to minimize their decision: "We received your e-mail regarding our participation and the participation of other corporations and banks in the upcoming Gay Pride Festival. H-E-B received a request for a small donation for the event; the request was reviewed and approved by our Regional Diversity Council. We realize that you are unhappy with us about this but we hope you will take into consideration that we contribute to over 5,000 non-profit groups of all kinds across the state of Texas annually."
Look at the story in the San Antonio Express-News:

Since then, McManus has led three pickets at various San Antonio-area H-E-B Supermarkets and challenged his listeners to boycott H-E-B.
The homosexual activists, through their website "Equality Texas", sent out an alert statewide -- including a database of 25,000 names in San Antonio alone -- which they claim generated 2,800 e-mails of thanks to H-E-B for sponsoring the homosexual agenda.
Take Action
1. Please let Charles Butt of H-E-B Supermarkets know that you disagree with his decision to forsake his Christian roots and financially promote the homosexual agenda.
