Information about Goulet Pens

Everyone, it's come to my attention that the controversy involving Goulet Pens might not be as widely known as I believed.

I'm posting a link to the megathread on the fountain pens subreddit so that you can read it for yourself, but the gist of the story is that the Goulets posted a video about how they are part of the core team founding a church that's an offshoot of their current church. Then a podcast featuring the pastor of this new church emerged in which he says some truly vile things about LGBTQ people; internet sleuths also uncovered a contract that church members must sign which contains the typical hard right, evangelical attitudes toward women. The Goulets posted an incredibly mealy-mouthed apology that doesn't involve them leaving the church.

I will no longer be purchasing from them, and I thought you all should be able to make an informed decision.
