my friends company was looking to switch their corporate credit card provider and some AMEX reps came in. his boss wanted nothing to do with AMEX because according to her "they support homosexuality".

WTF?

Indeed. American Express is to homosexuality as Snapple is to the Ku Klux Klan (think: slave-ships featured on the brand's former logo; now that the urban mythologists can no longer claim the 'K' on the bottle stands for Klan, since the three former owners, Jewish all, stepped up and duly noted the 'K' stood for Kosher, not Klan, Kosher being the exact opposite of Klan -- sha-ha! --, that is.).
