Oh boy. Here we go.

One Million Moms is pissed at JCPenney for tapping Ellen DeGeneres to star in their new ads, saying their choice is "offensive to traditional families".

The group posted on their website:

Recently JC Penney announced that comedian Ellen Degeneres will be the company's new spokesperson. Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families. More sales will be lost than gained unless they replace their spokesperson quickly. Unless JC Penney decides to be neutral in the culture war then their brand transformation will be unsuccessful.

Their marketing strategy is to help families shop and receive a good value for their money. Degeneres is not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store. The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there. The small percentage of customers they are attempting to satisfy will not offset their loss in sales.

JC Penney has made a poor decision and must correct their mistake fast to retain loyal customers and not turn away potential new, conservative shoppers with the company's new vision.

"Importantly, we share the same fundamental values as Ellen," said Michael Francis, president of J.C. Penney Company in a press statement. "At JC Penney, we couldn't think of a better partner to help us put the fun back into the retail experience. Moving forward, we'll be focused on being in sync with the rhythm of our customers' lives and operating in a 'Fair and Square' manner that is rooted in integrity, simplicity and respect. We're thrilled that she's joining our team to help convey the exciting transformation under way."

"They have an incredible vision for the future and are completely re-inventing themselves to become America's favorite store," said DeGeneres in a press statement.

By jumping on the pro-gay bandwagon, JC Penney is attempting to gain a new target market and in the process will lose customers with traditional values that have been faithful to them over all these years.

Since launching their attack of JCPenney, One Million Moms Facebook page has been flooded with comments and a majority of people plan to support the department store for their choice.

Some even said they haven't shopped at Penney's in years, but now that Ellen has partnered with them they have more reason to check it out.

You hear that? That's the sound of backfire.

The whole nation should be ashamed of Rossville Christian Academy!

This anti-love "Christian" school enforced a policy that punishes children and staff who mention homosexuality. Yeah, just talks about it!!

The policy goes as follows:

A staff member or student who promotes, engages in, or identifies himself/herself with such activity through any word or action shall be in violation of this policy. Should the administration determine a violation of this policy, the person involved will be subject to disciplinary action with the possibility of permanent dismissal. Any applicant who is not in compliance with this policy will not be admitted.

But thankfully, parents are not taking the policy sitting down.

One parent believes the policy is targeting one particular student and is worried about her daughter.

My initial reaction is that it was specifically aimed at one person, and I felt very sad about that. If my daughter spoke about someone who was gay is she going to be expelled for that or is she going to be put in detention?

OMG! That is SO cruel! It's bad enough that some students tease other kids for being gay - but for the administration to be bullying a student is just horrible!

University of Memphis law professor Steve Mulroy states that since there are no laws preventing anti-gay discrimination, the policy can stick.

The school's website states it "exists to challenge a diverse student body through high academic standards, seeking to instill and inspire Christian virtues in a safe and nurturing environment."

Unless you're gay. Sad. Very sad.

Alan Osmond…you poor fool.

The famous eldest Osmond recently blogged his defense of "gay camps" or anti-gay reparative therapy. On the blog, Osmond writes an unsupported and inaccurate opinion on homosexuality.

Despite supporting anti-gay christian fundamentalist group, Focus On The Family, Tim Tebow is not afraid to kiss another man.

Overcome with joy and excitement after he won his first game as a starting Denver Bronco's quarterback, Tebow ran over to plant a big, wet one on his teammate Demaryius Thomas' lips!

It's definitely a step up from a slap on the keester, that's for sure. Is Tim trying to tell us something? LOLz!

Check out the NFL lip-lock above!

Remember when Rick Santorum announced his opposition to "homosexual acts" and slung them in the same ring with incest and polygamy?

Well that's when the by-product of anal sex, defined as "a frothy mix of lube and fecal matter," got itself a new nickname — Santorum.

LOL!

And now that Ricky Rick wants to climb that political ladder, he's asking Google to clean their search engines of it.

He says:

Ugh! Unbelievable.

For some ridiculously offensive reason, The Game recently spoke out about closeted gay men, and claimed that they're the reason AIDS is spreading!

Once again, Adam Carolla has made homophobic comments he can't take back. Shame.

On one of his recent podcasts, Adam decided it was time for him to lash out at the gay community again, veiling his dislike of homosexuals with his supposed "humor." He started off by telling LGBT to "shut up" about equality because apparently, the mission to grant equal rights to everyone is "ruining his life." He then insensitively added that the LGBT community should consider using a different acronym - his suggestion was "YUCK" - and when referring to transgender people, he stated: “When did we start giving a sh*t about these people?”

First of all, the only thing that is yuck around here is your blatant disregard for the feelings of others. Second of all, people with good hearts and open minds have always given a sh*t about other people who are constantly torn down by the ignorance of people like you. And lastly … actually, we're going to let GLAAD speak for us at this point. They've said it better in their statement against Adam better than we can:
