With a country going to hell in a handbasket, what is the American Family Association most concerned about?
Quality education?
Drugs?
Teen pregnancy?
None of the above?
How about those terrible Ford advertising campaigns in gay media?
Oh, the humanity! How will the world go on?
COALITION of groups that oppose civil rights for gay people is pressing a boycott of the Ford Motor Company, the latest push by religious conservatives to influence how and where companies advertise.
The American Family Association--which has boycotted Target for using the word "holiday" instead of "Christmas" and Procter & Gamble for supporting the repeal of an antidiscrimination ordinance in Cincinnati that excluded gay people--has reinstated a boycott trying to force Ford to stop advertising in publications aimed at gay readers.
Renewal of the boycott is the latest twist in a controversy involving conservative groups, gay rights activists and Ford, which has a long history of working cooperatively with gay rights groups.
Come on, people at the AMA. Can't you find something worthwhile to protest about?
I'm glad the war against gays is so important while everything else going to hell is OK.
Does the world look wonderful through those rose-colored fundie sunglasses?
