Below is a copy of the Human Rights Campaign's recent email alert. One of the highly controversial issues that I address quite often is society's treatment, recognition, and inclusion of same-sex couples and families. I like to promote companies and organizations that take fair-minded and progressive approaches. On the flip side, that means that I usually badmouth and boycott companies that implement discriminatory and unjust policies. Ford has taken a fair-minded and progressive approach in recognizing and supporting ALL of it's employees, regardless of sexual orientation. I understand and respect that everybody has different views, opinions, and values. However, no matter what your stance is on issues such as same-sex unions, it is important to promote and support those organizations and companies that have implemented policies that pledge not to discriminate (in any form) against their employees.

| CLICK HERE to let Ford know you appreciate their support of fairness in the workplace! On the heels of ending a failed boycott against the Walt Disney Company, an anti-gay lobbying group called the American Family Association has called for a boycott of Ford Motor Company because of its family-friendly policies. Among AFA's complaints: that Ford's corporate policies pledge not to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, and that Ford provides equal benefits for all its employees. This is just another example of the AFA being out of touch with reality. Ford knows that treating employees fairly is good business - both for employees and for the company. | | |
