AFA Unhappy With Ford, Again

The gay hate group, American Family Association, is upset with Ford because the company has decided to advertise its vehicles in gay publications and, get this, offers diversity training classes to its employees.

Horrors.

Let's counter the boycott:

News Update: The AFA has renewed its call for a boycott of Ford (story). Please support Ford and let them know you aren't paying attention to AFA's call for a boycott.

The American Family Association, a gay hate group, has called on its 2.2 million members to boycott the Ford Motor Company because of Ford's perceived support of the "homosexual agenda" and gay marriage. Following the link, one becomes aware of the main complaints the AFA has of Ford:

• Ford advertises in gay publications with ads tailord to the gay market.
• Ford wishes to sell its vehicles to homosexuals.
• Ford supports diversity training throughout its company and subsidiaries.
• Ford financially contributes to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Human Rights Commision.

Specifically, they are asking their members to contact their local Ford dealers and tell them that they will no longer buy Ford products as long as the Ford Motor Company supports the homosexual agenda and gay marriage.

The AFA is the same group who boycotted Disney World because Disney offered domestic partner benefits and held a "gay day." That nine year boycott officially ended practically the same day they announced the Ford boycott.

Show Ford that not everyone is as homophobic as members of the AFA. Contact your local Ford dealer and tell them that despite the boycott call, you plan on remaining or maybe becoming a Ford customer.
