On Friday February 24th, 2012 in Tulsa Oklahoma OkEq is calling a "Pink Dollar Day" at all JCPenney stores in Tulsa County. Wear pink as you stroll the aisles of the store as part of an overall effort to back the Texas-based chain's decision to stand behind DeGeneres. Write the letter "E" on your money and credit card slips of all purchases to show you are a part of the "Pink Dollar Day".
As for DeGeneres, she took to her talk show last week to address the controversy, thanking her supporters. "Here are the values I stand for: I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you'd want to be treated and helping those in need," she said. "To me, those are traditional values. That's what I stand for."
