    Comments: This is really a pity; I shop at Hot Topic and Torrid a LOT...but not any more. I'm Wiccan and I figure if you don't want to carry my favorite magazine, you probably also don't need my money any other way.

    Comments: You have chosen to ban items and product lines with the word(s) "pagan/wiccan/Witch" (et al) Well, after spending about 4-500 bucks that I can remember in the last few years for clothes for our children (Brandon, Anna, and Kevin) - as well as giving them money for purchases at your stores... WE will no longer be buying ANYthing at your stores, and I will be encouraging our kids to express their anger by passing the word that your policy is biased religous bigotry favoring the religious right-wing zealot xenophobes who by their (and your) actions are proven traitors to the constitutional principle of religious freedom. IN just the circle of kids I am personally familier with, I can assure you that you have just lost a few thousand dollars. And when we go to the next few public pagen fests, I can assure you, we will be passing the word there as well. In your decision to favor the idiots who do NOT spend near as much money as WE DO in your stores, you have made a poor business decision. Cordially Annoyed Andy W.

    Comments: I think this is ridiculous--why would you sacrifice what your ACTUAL CUSTOMERS want because of what a bunch of religious fanatics (very few of whom would even shop at Hot Topic or Torrid) are complaining about Get real. You can bet I won't be setting foot in either of your Albany, NY locations ever again.

    Comments: I run e-mail lists for Pagan networrking, with a combined membership of over 2500 people. I will be letting all of them know that Hot Topic and its affiliates discriminate against their religion in selecting merchandise. I believe most of them, many of whom are in Hot Topics' targeted customer base, will cease shopping there. You are cutting off your own income, for people who already are not buying your products. Foolish!!

    Comments: There are a LOT more either Pagan, or Pagan friendly people than the "Religious Right" fanatics want to admit. America is founded upon "Freedom of Religion"...that means ALL religions, including all the Pagan ones... and Muslims, and Buddists, and Taoists, and Jews, and even the Christians. But no ONE group has the right to pressure any store into discrimination of any sort based on religion...be it in the employees they hire or the products they sell.
