Wal-Mart has turned aside a massive letter-writing campaign by the American Family Association urging the retailer to refuse to stock Brokeback Mountain, being distributed by Universal Home Entertainment.
The group, which has successfully campaigned against what it considers to be broadcast indecency launched the campaign last week after ads for the film began being displayed prominently in the retailer's 3,900 stores. In an interview with today's (Tuesday) Los Angeles Times, the AFA's Randy Sharp, accused Wal-Mart of helping to push the "gay agenda" by "trying to help normalize homosexuality in society." He added, "But how many copies are they going to have to sell to [recoup] the losses of customers who they've offended and will no longer shop at Wal-Mart?"
But a Wal-Mart spokeswoman replied, ""The fact that we are offering the movie is not an endorsement of the content of the movie or any specific belief. ...We simply offer the latest titles that consumers want." -contactmusic

First of all, Brokeback is already selling like hotcakes (#1 DVD on Amazon
right now) so OF COURSE Walmart will carry it.
Secondly, where exactly are these middle americans going to get their cheesy poofs, shotguns, and nascar clothing except Walmart? The conservatives have already sold out small town diversity to Walmart, and now they are going to have to reap what they sow.
