"WaldeMart" runs into LGBT issues
Many of you know this video that I produced a few years back:
A story just came out about Wal-Mart banning a couple from shopping from Wal-Mart for life, even though they didn’t actually shoplift. The most distinguishing thing about this couple is that they are gay. So some are wondering if Wal-Mart was bullying them for this reason.

this is really disgusting! I feel so bad for both of them, and their boys! yet one more reason why me and my whole family boycotts Wal-Mart! this is terrible! I wish there was something we could do, to show Wal-Mart that the world is watching, and that they can not get away with this! thank you, Ashlee for sharing this link!

I agree 100% with Vanessa – this is just disgusting. I…don’t even know what to say. I had no idea that this was happening. I am going to seriously reconsider my shopping habits.

This is insane and just another reason why I refuse to shop at Walmart. I also wish there was something we could do, Vanessa!

I read an article about this and I am so disturbed by it. I just don’t understand how people can hate like this. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Walmart and I plan to never shop in one.
