    Comments: I have been a customer of Hot Topic, and appreciated the Pagan friendly atmosphere. Obviously I was mistaken in Hot Topic's support of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and its willingness to cave in to the religious intolerance of certain Christian groups. I will not spend any more money at Hot Topic until I hear that this matter is resolved. I WILL support companies that support religious freedom for all Americans. Shame on you, Hot Topic. Shame.

    Comments: As a teenager I enjoyed shopping at Hot Topic because they identified with my needs for personal expression. As I grew older, I'd see kids wearing similar witchy clothing and I would smile, knowing they probably got their duds at the hip and sympathetic Hot Topic. I'm very sad that you let a conservative force influence your image, as the stuff you sell encourages individuality and free-thinking. You probably know very well that Wiccans don't practice satanism or harm others; the decision you made only fuels hurtful ignorance. You can always change your mind again on this issue - the kids today need you! Practice what you preach and support the freedom of expression.

    Comments: It is unacceptable and outrageous that in this time in history when religious intolerance has caused so many problems that any store would endorse blatant religious discrimination policies. Do not buy from Hot Topic or Torrid.

    Comments: Personally I find a sign of weak character that they find nothing wrong with catering to Gothic and alternative lifestyles but "wiccan" apparel and items present "complicated issues." In truth this decision is based on ignorance and pressure levied against the managment.

    Comments: This really isn't a matter of religious rights. Hot Topic has a right to sell what it wants to sell; customers don't have some sacred right to be able to find what they want there. Still, it would be nice if they did carry Wicca-related merchandise.

    Comments: This is a free country, and that includes ALL religions. To give in to narrow-minded opinions regarding witchcraft and Wiccan beliefs is to encourage discrimination and oppression. Please change your policy to reflect the diverse religious beliefs of United States citizens and their religious freedom as guaranteed in the Constitution.

    Comments: I am writing to Hot Topic to tell them I have no intention of boycotting them, or Torrid. Don't be ridiculous. This is not discrimination of any kind; it's simply business. IF you all were actually concerned with religious freedom, you would be concerned with *everyone's* religious freedom, rather than just your own convenience or self-interest. You'd be asking every store in the nation that carries any religious products at all to carry products for *every* religion. And that would include "Pagan" or "Occult" stores. In that light, can you see how just plain silly this petition is PLEASE, please, do not continue to make the larger Pagan population look like a bunch of whiny, petulant idiots.
