Hate group AFA urges members to refuse mail with Harvey Milk stamp

The American Family Association (AFA), which the Southern Poverty Law Center calls an anti-LGBT hate group, ranted against the new postage stamp honoring gay icon Harvey Milk.

In a recent posting on their website, the AFA urged its supporters to do the following:

1. Refuse to accept the Harvey Milk stamp if offered by your local post office. Instead, ask for a stamp of the United States flag. 

2. Refuse to accept mail at your home or business if it is postmarked with the Harvey Milk stamp. Simply write 'Return to Sender" on the envelope and tell your postman you won't accept it. 

We guess any negative financial consequences to the true believers who follow the AFA, from rejecting a check or a bill with a Milk stamp on it, is far outweighed by the benefit of acknowledging to everyone that you are an anti-LGBT bigot.

The Gaylyhas purchased several hundred dollars worth of Harvey Milk stamps, and will be using them exclusively until supplies run out.
