Anti-Establishment and Anti-Gay: Is This An Oxymoron? Or Just Moronic?

An open letter to Urban Outfitters and Anthropology:

Hello,

I heard today that Anthopologie and Urban Outfitters strongly supported and contributed to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign in California. If this is true I will no longer shop at your stores and will instruct my like-minded friends and neighbors to do the same. Please advise.

For over a decade, Urban Outfitters has been a staple in my shopping habits. Though after reading about your CEO's support of virulently homophobic Senator Rick Santorum, who likened gay marriage to incest and bestiality, I will not set foot in your stores. I will take my money elsewhere. I have copied this email to many of my friends and family. (To protect their privacy, I have blind copied them.)

This is not just a boycott. This is a movement of millions of Americans who are sick and tired of ignorant and divisive attitudes against the LGBT community. To support that kind of a sinister agenda is thoroughly reprehensible.

We will not linger sit in silence. It is my hope that you will hear us loud and clear--through your company's bottom line.


Sincerely,

Ian Jensen
