Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this Tractor Supply and all this LGBTQ stuff. I heard folks talkin’, seen things on the TV, and it’s all a bit confusing, you know? Seems like a whole lotta fuss over nothin’ much, if you ask me.

Tractor Supply, that big store where folks buy their overalls and chicken feed, they got themselves into a bit of a pickle. Some fella, Starbuck, I think his name was, he started yappin’ about how Tractor Supply was supportin’ the gays. He showed some flags and stuff, said they was at some big warehouse place.
Now, I don’t know much about flags, but I know this Starbuck fella, he got folks riled up. He said Tractor Supply was too busy with all this LGBTQ stuff and not payin’ attention to regular folks like us. You know, the ones who just want to buy a hammer and some fence posts.
- He wanted folks to stop shoppin’ there, said it was a boycott or somethin’.
- And wouldn’t you know it, Tractor Supply, they got scared.
- They started backpedalin’ faster than a mule with a bee in its bonnet.
They put out this fancy talkin’ letter, sayin’ they was gonna stop all this diversity and inclusion stuff. Said they wasn’t gonna give no more money to them gay groups or whatever they was.
They even said they was gonna stop worryin’ about the air and all that climate change talk. I guess they figured it was easier to just keep folks happy and sell more shovels than to get into all that political mess.
But then, some other folks started gettin’ mad. They said Tractor Supply was bein’ mean and hatin’ on the gays. They said everyone should be treated the same, no matter who they love or what flag they wave. They even said it was bad for business, that lots of people wouldn’t shop there no more because of it.

It’s a whole heap of confusion, I tell ya. One minute they’re all for the gays, the next minute they ain’t. Makes a body wonder what’s really goin’ on. Maybe they just want our money, don’t care who we are or what we think, long as we buy their stuff.
This here Starbuck fella, he kept talkin’ and talkin’. He made videos and put ‘em on the internet. Said Tractor Supply wasn’t bein’ honest and wasn’t doin’ right by the good people. He was really somethin’ else, that one, stirrin’ up trouble like a spoon in a hornet’s nest.
And then you got these other folks, the ones who talk about civil rights and all that. They said Tractor Supply was wrong to back down. They said everyone deserves respect, even if they’re different. They said it was important to stand up for what’s right, even if it’s hard.
So, there you have it. Tractor Supply stuck in the middle, tryin’ to please everybody and endin’ up pleasin’ nobody. It’s a mess, I tell ya, a real mess. I don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong, but I do know this: I just want to buy my dog food and garden hose without all the drama.
Seems like everythin’ gets political these days. Can’t even buy a bag of fertilizer without somebody gettin’ their nose all bent outta shape. I reckon Tractor Supply learned a lesson, though. Maybe they’ll just stick to sellin’ tools and overalls from now on and leave all that other stuff alone.

One thing’s for sure, they probably wish they never started messin’ with all this LGBTQ business. It just caused ‘em a whole lotta heartache and headaches. And for what? To make some people happy and make some people mad? It ain’t worth it, I tell ya, it just ain’t worth it.
So, next time you go to Tractor Supply, you might see things a little different. You might wonder what they’re really thinkin’ behind those cash registers. You might wonder if they’re still supportin’ the gays or if they’re just tryin’ to keep quiet and sell their stuff. It’s a shame, really. Used to be a simpler time, when a store was just a store and you didn’t have to worry about all this extra stuff.
Anyways, that’s my take on it. I hope it makes some kind of sense to ya. I ain’t no fancy talker, just tellin’ it like I see it. Folks these days, they like to complicate things, but really, it’s mostly just common sense if you stop and think about it. But then again, common sense ain’t all that common no more, is it?
