Houston business to NOT patronize...

...Garden Guys, Inc.

The owners of this fine landscaping establishment sent the following email to two potential clients earlier this week:

From: Garden Guy Inc
Date: October 18, 2006 9:08:36 AM CDT
To: ----------------
Subject: Cancel Appt -Garden Guy


Dear Mr. ----------------,

I am appreciative of your time on the phone today and glad you contacted us. I need to tell you that we cannot meet with you because we choose not to work for homosexuals.

Best of luck in finding someone else to fill your landscaping needs.

All my best,

Sabrina

Since the blog firestorm this email started, it has become apparent that Garden Guys are not members of the professional organization they claim to belong to, and they use clip art on their website. Click here for an update.

Such discrimination is legal in Texas, but Houstonians have a moral obligation to boycott bigots. So, if you're in the market for landscaping, don't hire these folks.

That's horrible. Such a weird thing too, what do they think, that because gay people can't get anyone to help them in their gardens they'll give up being gay????
