Singer Lady Gaga's partnership with
Office Depot “endangers the welfare of children,” Linda Harvey
has said.
Last month, Office Depot announced it
will donate at least $1 million to support Lady Gaga's Born This Way
Foundation, which works to end bullying in schools. The office
supply chain pledged to donate twenty-five percent of the sales of
limited edition products for back-to-school to the Born This Way
Foundation, with a guaranteed donation of $1 million this year.
The products – which include pens,
gift cards and Post-It notes – include the Born This Way Foundation
logo along with one of six messages: “Be Brave,” “Be Amazing,”
“Be Yourself,” “Be Kind,” “Be Accepting,” and “Be
Involved.”

Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WorldNetDaily.com, told radio listeners that the
campaign misleads kids to accept homosexuality.
“There's another business parents
need to avoid these days, especially for back to school shopping,”
Harvey
said. “Office Depot has decided to team up with Lady Gaga and
her new pro-homosexual, non-profit group. Office Depot will be
pushing rainbow colored products with messages that encourage the
deviance of homosexuality while giving untruthful information to
kids. Just to give some background, Lady Gaga has become quite a
supporter of the homosexual political agenda, including the many ways
children and teens are being deceived about these lifestyles. She
jumped on board in a big way with a song called Born This Way
and then followed up by starting the Born This Way Foundation. The
goal, the group's website says, is to 'foster a more accepting
society, where differences are embraced and individuality is
celebrated. The Foundation is dedicated to creating a safe community
that helps connect young people with the skills and opportunities
they need to build a kinder, braver world.' It sounds noble but the
reality is that they want to link children to homosexuality, which is
deeply wrong.”
