Ellen Degeneres or as some call her Ellen Degenerate is the face of an updated JC Penny. Penny's has continued to be a mainstay in the face of better retailers, such as Macy's, Belk, as well as others. It is the middle of America store that is looking for something bigger. A recent change in their logo, a new spokesperson(Ellen) and they get attacked  from the "Right."

One Million Moms came out in opposition to the partnership with Ellen. Moms is a religious right organization that is tired of the filth that's being directed at children. The Moms have every right to protest but isn't JC Penny a private entity? I understand their plight, I have places I will not frequent, it's a personal fight with certain companies. In life we have to choose our battles and Moms has chosen theirs but it's time religious groups realize that people and organizations have the right to coexist and do business as they see fit, even if you disagree with the lifestyle of the person the business decides to partner with.

Groups also have to be careful in their repute to protest certain stores and look at the sordid histories of all companies. Don't marginalize one company because of a lesbian spokesperson, what about the companies that participated in Apartheid?
