Apparently feeling that they hadn't made enough offensive insinuations about Walgreens' motives for sponsoring the Gay Games, the folks at the American Family Association on Friday sent their "director of special projects," Randy Sharp (pic.), to write a Walgreens/gay/decency-decrying commentary for Agape Press.
No word on whether gays, HIV patients, Christians, or Walgreens execs should be the most appalled by the AFA's actions, though we're thinking there's enough vitriol here to sufficiently nauseate any number of decent groups.
***NOTE: We encourage you to please contact Walgreens and thank them for their support, as they have undoubtedly been flooded by messages from followers of the AFA.
