NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters Life!) - A U.S. landscaping firm has been inundated with hate mail after an e-mail it sent rejecting a client because he was gay was made public.

Houston-based firm Garden Guy sent an e-mail on October 18 turning down a prospective customer by saying: "I need to tell you that we cannot meet with you because we choose not to work for homosexuals."

The recipient, Michael Lord, forwarded the e-mail to dozens of friends and it spread across the Internet.

Garden Guy's web site (www.garden-guy.com) makes no secret of the firm's outlook. "The God-ordained institution of marriage is under attack," it says at the bottom of a page offering patios and organic pest control, and asks browsers to go to www.nogaymarriage.com.

I just sent him this email:

Subject: Victory in the Senate!
Body: Hi Michael, I saw your website and read your quoted messages from the Lord, so I wanted to send you this email celebrating our recent victory in the U.S. Senate. Now that we are in control of our government again, the corruption and immorality that has crippled our country can be rectified. We will take the reins of this out-of-control govenment and restore our Constitutional freedoms that we lost under this awful, corrupt administration. We will restore Habeus Corpus, terminte the illegal wiretapping program, ban rendition and secret CIA prisons, roll back the tax cuts for the rich, provide all Americans with affordable Healthcare, and pass laws to enfore equality for all people. These are clearly goals worthy of our Lord's praise. I can't wait for our country to return to the moral values we grew up with - freedom, tolerance, acceptance. And of course, that includes all of our gay and lesbian friends as well. So, lets rejoice in the light of the Lord at the Victory in the Senate! Times are changing, and for the better !


Your friend,

Northeast Liberal

another "gardener" type website's owner did the same thing?

2. Could be a good company...

...for Haggard to get a job with, it would help to keep him out of temptation.
