In a move that may be totally unrelated but yet begs some connection, Wal Mart confirmed that Dee Breazeale has left the company. It most recently named Breazeale as its representative on the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

According to the Associated Press:

Dee Breazeale managed luxury goods at the company’s Sam’s Clubs when the chain was slapped with a suit in June alleging it sold counterfeit handbags. She more recently was named by Wal-Mart to join a panel for a gay and lesbian business group. Breazeale “is no longer employed” at Wal-Mart, spokesman John Simley confirmed.

Breazeale had been named in August to serve on the advisory council to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. News that Wal-Mart had joined the group provoked criticism from some conservative groups that threatened to boycott stores.

Are those letters from Selma having an effect?
