American Family Association boycotting Ford Motor Co. over gay issues

DETROIT (AP) -- A conservative Christian group launched a boycott against Ford Motor Co. Tuesday, saying the second-largest U.S. automaker has given thousands of dollars to gay rights groups, offers benefits to same-sex couples and actively recruits gay employees.

"From redefining family to include homosexual marriage, to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to support homosexual groups and their agenda, to forcing managers to attend diversity training on how to promote the acceptance of homosexuality... Ford leads the way," American Family Association chairman Donald Wildmon said in a statement.

Wow.. does look like Ford leads the way - in how NOT to be a hateful bitch.

The AFA recently ended a nine-year boycott of The Walt Disney Co. over Disney's decision to extend benefits to same-sex couples and promote gay-related events at its theme parks. The boycott appeared to have little effect, since Disney reported higher earnings and increased theme park attendance during that time.

Smart companies realize that gay people are not trailer park trash. We have LOTS of disposable income, and like expensive cars. They'd be crazy not to cater to the gay crowd. Besides, I'm sure a lot of their employees are gay, and it just makes sense to have happy employees.

It does appear that the religious freaks are just jealous.. Now, if Ford made a car that I'd want to buy..
