I’m sorry to hear that there are still ‘one million’ ignorant moms in this world. How about they focus on all of the wonderfully kind things Ellen’s done for countless people? THAT’S the type of person who should represent any company in America. And WHY are these ‘million moms’ so preoccupied with Ellen’s sexual preference? Maybe THEY’RE the closeted perverse ones…

Anybody who is preoccupied with somebody else’s sex life probably doesn’t have much of a sex life of their own.

WOW that is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard! Her sexual orientation has nothing to do with anything whatsoever. If you don’t agree with another person’s decision than ignore them or mind your own business. No need to try to pull some heinous act like this because she is a lesbian. The most stupid thing I have heard. I have 2 step children and I think the “moms” making these comments should be more open to other people than hindering their children and making them live in a ridiculous bubble of nonsense. UGHHHHHHHH. Grow up!

onemillionmoms should stop looking to judge and see past Ellen’s sexual preferences. She has done more good than I can count on and off camera and shows more love than most proclaimed Christians. Her sexual preferences should have nothing to do with what she does. How sad that these supposed caring “MOMS” are hung up on this. Maybe they should be worrying about hunger and homeless people in our country instead of Ellen representing JCPennys’

I already found the petition and signed it!

It’s simply heartbreaking the things that supposedly Christian people focus on while there are broken families everywhere who need a helping hand. I blame the American churches that are so preoccupied with persecution that they strike first. Pharisees are timeless.

Even though I personally have no problem with GLBT persons., they have the absolute right not to want her as a spokesperson if it differs from their moral views. I know for a fact that sexuality is a huge sprectrum and whether it’s part of your genetic background or a choice, I don’t think it’s an issue I would find important one way or another.

Make up your mind, Chris. Is it or is it not an issue?

As someone who is a born again Christian I’m getting really tired of Christians judging people who are gay or lesbian. God will do that. They never seem to have much of a problem with adulterers and that’s breaking one of our Lords ten commandments. Ellen DeGeneres seems like a wonderful kind generous woman. If whom she is sleeping with isn’t right with the Lord he will let her know when she stands in judgement. It hasn’t stopped me from enjoying her show and it won’t stop me from shopping at JC Penny’s.

French Flies I agree with you about the churches.

Shocked that this would happen. I see Ellen for what she is -Kind and good person. Who she chooses to love is none of my business.

On the scale of things it’s not much of an issue when you consider all the other problems in the world that could be focused on.

You are absolutely right. When the adultress was about to be stoned to death, Jesus didn’t stand by and say “Oh well! You had it coming sinner!” No! He stood between her and the crowd, and stated “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” I think all these “Christians” need to go back to the Holy Book, and actually READ it in it’s entirety – not just the passages in Leviticus that fit their agenda! There is a reason for the The New Testament – a renewed relationship between man & God. If what they are doin is really a sin, then Jesus has already paid for them. When He died on the cross, He died for ALL sins, not just some. These purported Christians are nothing more than a bunch of Judas’….and we all know what happened to him…Just live & let live.

“Judge not lest ye be judged.” “Vengeance is mine, so sayeth the Lord!”

Ham213 – it wouldn’t surprise me if these ‘one million moms” wouldn’t shop at Penney’s anyway. They most likely get their clothing at thrift shops and clothing exchanges.

Perhaps these avengers for a more moral majority should try to ensure that ‘family values’ are intact in their homes with Living by example. Children learn from what goes on in their home.Looks to me like these women are teaching them to hate anyone that doesn’t agree with their ideas of what is right. I am a 65 yr.young mother of 2 grown children, I have shopped at Pennys for 50 yrs. and this band of witch hunters won’t change that. Now if I hear that Pennys cave on this, I’ll stop. I do totally agree with Dr. Snake, those screaming commercials were the most awful form of advertising I have ever seen. I almost wore out the mute button.If anything was going to drive me off, that would have done it.

just saying the commentators here who commented how much they disliked million mom’s boycot of Ellen Degeneres JC Penny spokesperson is very heartening to me. It shows, at least from those who made comments here that there are those who are anti homophobia and for tolerance.

I gave your post a LIKE…WE as true Christian’s are called to be the hands and feet of Christ himself. He himself said “I Didnot come to world to condemn it but to save it”. So in like manner we should extend our hands the same way he would have “WITH LOVE AND GREAT COMPASSION” for a very confused world.
That mean’s to all whether it be to the million mother’s or to the gay community…We must love both.
And leave the judgement up to God himself.
That day will come.

Maybe if Ellen were fat, uneducated, unhappy and wore a fanny pack, they’d relate to her more. I can’t stand when conserves play the family values card. I think Ellen would had made a much better mom than the ‘straight’ Casey Anthony, no? Silly primal folk, stuck in the dark ages.

Time to go buy something at Penney’s. Good thing Ellen doesn’t determine who gets what based on their sexuality when she hands out gifts.

I’m an “evangelical” Christian, as the term was before it got politicized, and I am a big shopper at JCPenney and will continue to be, maybe more. God save us from this crazy nonsense.

I love Ellen Degeneres. I think that she has more heart and soul and goodness in her heart than any one of those One Million Mom witches could ever hope to have. They just gave me ONE MILLION MORE REASONS TO SHOP AT JC PENNEYS.

Ellen is by far the most kind, sincere, a woman of true equality, a woman who supports those in need including animals, she is able to make the world laugh every single day which is the best cure for all! Clearly the one million moms are uneducated and 100% hold ill will towards every other equality issue out there. I’m positive it’s not just the gays which they are against, disgusting. And I guarantee these woman have not touched a single soul with hope, wealth and prosperity the way Ellen has. The rest of us need to stand against these ignorant individuals and hope they’re children are far smarter than who is raising them. Ellen you are the best!

As a evangelical christian, I’m feed up with one million mom protesting ever single business over something that they disagree with. JC Penny picked Ellen to be their spokesperson to try increase market segmentation. I’m a marketing major and I know that JC Penny is try to increase this. I doesn’t meant that JC Penny is automatically going to jump into the whole debate about gay marriage. They may stay neutral on the whole issue because they are trying to increase business across a diverse range of people. I think Ellen is a very funny and caring person. She is even respectful to these that disagree with her. I like her a lot better than Rosie. I have watched her show a few times.

One million moms should realize that JC Penny hired Ellen is a spokesperson for business reasons. It does not mean they are automatically going to take a position on the Gay marriage debate or any other related position. They may stay neutral and take no sides. I’m sure they did a good amount of research out of different possible people to be their spokesperson. Ellen is respectful to everyone and she not controversial like Rosie O Donnell. Would One Million Mom rather have Ellen or Rosie has JC Penny’s spokesperson.

Does One Million Moms realize that these companies provide jobs to people and if their sales drop dramatically because of a boycott, then they will lay off their employees. Last time I checked we are in a recession. It is hard to find a job right now.

one million moms has under 50,000 followers. it’s really just a few at the top who formed the group that s saying all of this.
I love Ellen.. I think she’s hilarious!
