HOME DEPOT feeds AFA a big plate of crow.

Last week, the American Family Association claimed that its boycott against Home Depot was successful.
AFA was boycotting the company because Home Depot has been very supportive of the lgbtq community, even publicly supporting pride events and providing booths for children during those events.
However, Samantha F. DeVaney, a representative of Home Depot, said that this was not true:
We have never changed our commitment to diversity and inclusion of all people, and we have no intention of doing so. Nor have we changed our apron policy or the guidelines for our Foundation?s charitable giving.
So today, AFA is now admitting that it was wrong about its Home Depot boycott:
AFA's director of special projects, Randy Sharp, now says his organization spoke too soon. "Once we brought that to light, Home Depot made a public statement to everyone who contacted them and said [essentially] 'No, we haven't changed any policies. When it comes to homosexuality, homosexual marriage in our culture, we will continue to support it financially.
I hope that fried crow tastes good, Mr. Sharp http://tinyurl.com/73oyjuw
