P&G - Here's the proof [Proctor & Gamble's shocking ads, homo-activism.]

American Family Association ^ | 29SEP04 | Donald E. Wildmon

[familyop]

Please forward this to your friends

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THIS ABOUT PROCTER & GAMBLE, SO WE INCLUDED THE PROOF!

Dear [reader],

Suppose I told you Procter & Gamble created and ran an ad that showed two men (in fuzzy focus at top center of the ad) in bed after an apparent sexual encounter.

Suppose I told you the ad showed clothing scattered across the floor like the two men were in a hurry to get undressed and get into the bed.

Suppose I told you the P&G ad was captioned with these words: "You were more concerned with taking them off than folding them up." (In other words, the two men just could not wait to get into bed to have homosexual sex.)

Suppose the ad goes on to say that you can use Downy Wrinkle Release, a P&G product, to unwrinkle your clothes left on the floor in your haste to get into bed.

Suppose I told you this ad, which leaves the impression that homosexual sex is normal, thrilling and exciting, was created by P&G and run in a homosexual publication called Xtra.

I know you would have a hard time believing me. So see it for yourself. Click here to see the ad. If that link is no longer active, Click here.

There should be no doubt P&G is aggressively promoting the homosexual agenda. A company doesn't create and run an ad that leaves the impression that homosexual sex is thrilling and exciting unless they support the homosexual agenda.

It should come as no surprise when P&G supports homosexual marriage. This is the company that has aggressively come out in favor of repealing the law in Cincinnati which forbids giving homosexuals special rights, but at the same time has refused to support the Ohio Marriage Protection Amendment which defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman.

Remember, this is the company that said they "will not tolerate discrimination [against homosexuals] in any form, against anyone, for any reason." To keep homosexuals from being legally married is discrimination [for good reason] that P&G says they will not tolerate.

American Family Association is asking individuals to:

(1) Boycott three products of P&G — Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent, and Pampers diapers. (Make sure your replacement is not a P&G product. Look on the back of the product.)

(2) Call Chairman A.G. Lafley at 513-983-1100 and politely let him know that you are participating in the boycott and will ask others to do the same.

(3) Click here to register your support for the boycott.

(4) Please forward this to your friends and family. They will have to see it to believe it, also.

(5) Click here to print out and distribute the boycott Crest, Tide and Pampers petition.

Sincerely,

Don

It's true and it is DISGUSTING!

[familyop]

Ping, LJ!

...action, all! This news about homosexual activism by a certain corporation is about some outright nastiness! It's political ugly stick time!

[blondee123]

Copied & forwarded in email. Thanks.

[HitmanLV]

The link clearly says that the ad was printed in a gay newspaper, and was not intended for general mainstream consumer consumption.

What is such a big deal about that?

Tauiloring ads for particular markets is not unusual in advertising. While I personally don't find the ad appealing, or even creative, it's clearly intended for the market that reads the gay themed newspaper, and also intended to be a bit whimsical for them.

If it featured a man and a woman in bed in an ad in Playboy Magazine, I still wouldn't find it appealing or creative, but I wouldn't find it particularly offensive.

What is the big deal?

[HennepinPrisoner]

The ad is disgusting, but I sure hope the AFA would also be outraged if the ad depicted a heterosexual couple.

I don't see this as 'promoting gay sex' as this ad was in a gay magazine in the first place.

I will continue to buy my Crest toothpaste..

[dwills]

silly new yorker!

don't you know that, before any gay men dare reveal their true natures, they should be encouraged to marry our sisters, father a few children and get alected to high political office as republicans?

[Weirdad]

Thanks for the post. There is indeed an agenda on the part of the 2% max "gay" "community" to force the other 98% of us to accept their choice to engage in homosexuality as normal and mainstream. Ads like this support that publication directly, so anyone who helps Proctor and Gamble by doing business with them helps a "gay" magazine to continue to engage in promotion of homosexuality. Giving their lifestyle an appearance of normality promotes general acceptance of that lifestyle, and also makes an environment, "a place," in which they can be comfortable with their choice rather than being confronted with reality that their lifestyle is not accepted generally, and with their own inner sense that something is not right about their choice. This company should be boycotted and I commend the AFA for taking a stand on it.

[familyop]

"What is the big deal?"

Answer: Now a lot of people know why they're such pigs.

[Casloy]

Why is Wildmon looking though gay magazines in order to find things that will offend him. What exactly does he expect to find? If P&G wants to advertise to a target audience with specific graphics which address that particular group I see nothing wrong with it. This does not warrant a boycott in my opinion.

[familyop]

The answer is in the comment just above your comment.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1230080/posts?page=9#9

[HitmanLV]

I'm not a new yorker, sorry.

[HitmanLV]

This is just a silly exericse. It has nothing to do with anything. Anyone who runs with stuff like this does conservatives a disservice.

[Casloy]

Except Wildmon is promoting the boycott on the basis of the ad and not on the basis of them promoting gay marriage. Furthermore, Proctor & Gamble came under fire for promoting the repeal of some anti gay laws in Cincinati, which by the way was also supported by the Catholic Arch Bishop. Proctor & Gamble has taken no stand on Gay marriage. I am not defending anything P&G did either way, but I think boycots like this in which the message is fuzzy and the ads in question taken out of context, only hurt the cause.

[familyop]

"Anyone who runs with stuff like this does conservatives a disservice."

Why am I not surprised that you say that in light of P&G's socialist agenda as shown in the references linked in comment #9--the company having gone so far as to file a brief in favor of so-called "affirmative action," for example?

Homo-activists, like their feminist big sisters, need much bureaucracy (AKA socialism) and need to cause violations of others' rights (e.g., the indoctrinations of children in public education, efforts to pass "hate crimes" laws to imprison critics,...) to fully support their agenda to the extent they desire. You'll see the point on their efforts against fiscal conservatism made more often from now on, and by many.

[BykrBayb]

Since nobody else seems to have noticed, let me point this out.

(1) Boycott three products of P&G — Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent, and Pampers diapers. (Make sure your replacement is not a P&G product. Look on the back of the product.)

The ad was for Downy.

[Dawgreg]

I have replaced Tide, Downey and Cascade with P&C's competitors brands with one problem............I bought Cheer and found that IT is a P&C product......(won't make that mistake again).........I feel so dirty. *~*

[DooDahhhh]

I second your opinion!

[G L Tirebiter]

Wildmon and his cohort are Grade A kooks.

I've no problem what so ever with P&G selling to an affluent market segment who need their products.

I'd only question P&G's judgement if they were to place an ad for Pampers in the Advocate.

[familyop]

I think the AFA's main disagreement with P&G in the announcement above is that the company is advertising in the homosexual publication and supporting it that way. And there are other issues behind the "previous information" link. Behind the boycott registration link, you'll see the following text.

"The company recently wrote to all their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the overturning of a city law which forbids giving special rights to homosexuals. In 1993, the citizens in Cincinnati refused to give special rights to homosexuals by a vote of 62% to 38%. P&G is now working to get that law repealed. The company has given $10,000 to help repeal the law."

[familyop]

Wow--quite a track record here, and another mention of their support of affirmative action (below, described as "one of the strongest workplace equality policies"). It's yet another exposure of the fact that homosexual activists work for the left while sometimes pretending to be conservatives to get compromises from the right. "Affirmative action" is antithetical to good business practice and conservatism in general. It's a major part of the Democrat agenda.

Notice also, the reminder that the company pulled its support of the Dr. Laura show after she criticized the homosexual lifestyle. Apparently, the homosexual activists only want economic warfare and censorship directed at legitimate family interests while using crude tactics to censor all who criticize the homosexual agenda/lifestyle. The following link is in a large graphic explanation above, and I doubt that anyone here missed it. The rhetoric and name calling of the anti-family liberal left continues regardless of the appearances of proof contrary to their statements.

A Short Track Record On P&G's Promotion of Homosexuality

• P&G recently wrote to their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the repeal of a city law that forbids giving special rights to homosexuals. In 1993, the citizens in Cincinnati adopted the law by a vote of 62% to 38%. P&G is now working to get that law repealed and has given $10,000 toward that goal.
  http://www.pgboycott.com/pginformation.pdf
  http://www.pgboycott.com/pgcontributions.pdf
  
  
  
• P&G regularly supports pro-homosexual media with advertising. According to the pro-homosexual Internet news site 365Gay.com, "Procter & Gamble has been a long time supporter of the gay community. It has one of the strongest workplace equality policies among American companies and is a frequent advertiser in the LGBT media, including 365Gay.com"
  
  
• At the request of homosexual activist groups, P&G dropped advertising support for television talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, because of her politically incorrect view that homosexuality is wrong. http://davidsisler.com/06-10-2000.htm
  
  
• Procter & Gamble is a major corporate sponsor of the annual Cincinnati Pride (homosexual) event celebrating homosexuality. http://www.cincypride.com
  
  
• P&G has given $10,000 to Citizens to Restore Fairness, a political homosexual activist group. The co-leader of the campaign is a P&G corporate executive. http://www.pgboycott.com/PGContributions.pdf
  
  
• P&G supports an employee network group called GABLE (Gay and Bi-Sexual, Lesbian Employees of Procter & Gamble).
  
  
• P&G's benefits program includes domestic partnership benefits for same-sex partners. Andrea Adkins of Dayton, a P&G employee for over 20 years, said that the company’s decision to offer domestic partner benefits will be a "very influential for other large typically conservative companies. People do look to Procter & Gamble as an example," Adkins said. http://www.pg.com/canada/diversit.htm
  
  
• P&G sponsors the annual “Out & Equal Workplace Advocates” workplace summits. Out and Equal is a homosexual advocacy organization promoting homosexuality in major companies. http://www.outandequal.org/pages/newsletter/2003-06.pdf
  
  
• P&G was named by PlanetOut as a top 20 company to work for based on their pro-homosexual support and benefits. http://www.planetout.com/pno/money/article.html?sernum=308
  WARNING: This site contains photos that depict homosexual physical contact.
  
  
• In 2004, the Human Rights Campaign gave P&G a score of 86 percent in a Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The CEI rates large American businesses on how they are treating gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors. Click Here

Oh my gosh!No doubt P&G will be receiving lots of negative comments about this!!

[Leroy S. Mort]

Guess that devil worship thing wasn't selling any soap for 'em.

[babble-on]

well said. Its a strange idea, this notion of the Wildmons of the world that homosexuality is intrinsically attractive to people who are not homosexuals, and that somehow the marketing of homosexuality is the real issue.

How could an ad for fabric softener convince someone who wasn't gay that what he really wants to do is NOT to sleep with that cute shapely girl who smiled at him that day, but rather with Bill the drama coach? It don't make sense.

Likewise, what is so great about trying to convince someone who is blatantly gay that he should father a few kids while suppressing his nature?

[Labyrinthos]

There should be no doubt P&G is aggressively promoting the homosexual agenda. A company doesn't create and run an ad that leaves the impression that homosexual sex is thrilling and exciting unless they support the homosexual agenda.

One the other hand, one might expect that in a capitalistic society, a company might try to market its products to a segment of society that demographic and marketing research shows as having discriminating tastes and substantial amounts of disposible income.

[AppyPappy]

The link clearly says that the ad was printed in a gay newspaper, and was not intended for general mainstream consumer consumption

Of course not. So are they going to run racist ads in racist newspapers? I guess we need to ignore those as well.

[Esther Ruth]

Why some people want to see how long they can dance with the devil before getting burned up is beyond me. People who like to play with fire are not healthy people and that is what folks who brush this aside are doing, they are playing with fire instead of stamping it out quickly.

Like maybe we could take our children to the zoo for the day, put them inside the lion cage just for fun, see how long it takes the lion to charge upon them, and then of course we would yank our children out JUST before the lion's mouth clamps down on the child's flesh, that'll be ok, why over react and pull the child on any sooner than necessary.

[Blessed]

Maybe so that warped ideas like this do not become excepted as fact in this culture.>Likewise, what is so great about trying to convince someone who is blatantly gay that he should father a few kids while suppressing his nature?<

Homosexuality is aberrant behavior not part of someones nature.There has never been any proof people are "born" homosexual.

[babble-on]

No proof other than the personal statements of zillions of homosexuals. Tallness is not part of anyone's nature either, since no one has ever been born tall.

[Blessed]

>No proof other than the personal statements of zillions of homosexuals. Tallness is not part of anyone's nature either, since no one has ever been born tall.<

Wow! I am awed by that conclusive testimony.

[pangaea6]

I agree with you. I'm trying not to use P&G items nor anything associated with Warren Buffet b/c of his promotion of abortion. Of course some on here might say there are people willing to pay for abortions so we as a capitalistic society should offer it too them. If companies like P&G didn't advertise in homosexual magazines then these magazines couldn't exist to promote that lifestyle.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Proctor and Gamble are promoter of the homosexual agenda, and if people don't see any problem with that, we know what side of the fence they're on in the culture war.

Make sure you all read comment #21 as well as the original article.

I don't use any P and G crap anyway, but if I did, I'd stop.

For people to say, "Well, they're just advertising in the homo paper the Blade anyway, so it's no skin off my nose;" means that such people are content with the homosexual agenda. Why would a large company "reach out" to 2% or less of the population like that? Because they endorse and promote the "gay" agenda.

Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

[scripter]

I received the same email and saved the P&G PDF file for later reference.

[little jeremiah]

Your arguments are the flimsiest of flimsy straw men.

The real points to consider are this:

1. The homosexual acivists and their supporters want hate crimes and hate speech laws enacted.

2. The homosexual activists and their supporters want "gay" marriage and civil unions, and they want employers to be forced to (a) hire them and (b) provide health insurance to their butt buddies.

3. The homosexual activists and their supporters want to force businesses, employers, landlords and more to hire them, associate with them, rent to them, let them teach and mentor their children, and so on. By force of law.

4. The homosexual activists and their supporters want to indoctrinate and recruit children in schools with pro-homosexual clubs, outreach, counselling and classroom teaching.

BTW, a lot of the above are already happening. If the above are fine with you, then perhaps you ought to read Jim Robinson's essay which starts on the home page of FR.

[babble-on]

so therefore I need to change my brand of toothpaste. Makes perfect sense to me.

[little jeremiah]

Wow. Really deep reply. You must be giving world events, truth, and your life a lot of deep consideration.

BTW, do you know that other people exist and suffer?

[newgeezer]

So are they going to run racist ads in racist newspapers? I guess we need to ignore those as well.

Right on the money, Pappy. Right on the money!

[TOUGH STOUGH]

The promotion of homosexuality has been a part of the entire leftist agenda for years. They are forcing it upon us, just like they have forced the rest of their agenda upon us. Many American corporations have been helping to promote the liberal agenda, with sensitivity training and the like, also for years. Thus, this article is not surprising.

This is a tremendously important topic. Thank you for the ping.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

If you were to do a thorough examination of this issue, you would find that most gays were enticed into homosexuality and the gay culture.

There is no conclusive or even compelling evidence which suggests that people are born that way and thus your entire premise is incorrect.

[little jeremiah]

Good point. Here's another, related one.

If someone really wants to know the facts about homosexuality (or any other controversial topic), he needs to become well informed. To only read propaganada by the homosexual agenda pushers is not the way to inform oneself. it's like trying to learn the truth of communism by reading Stalin era propaganda and Pravda articles.

And FR is one of the best places on the web (if not THE best) for finding the facts about the "gay" agenda, the real "gay" life, what is known about the causes of Same Sex Attraction, the truth that there are thousands of "ex-gays", and the history of the "gay" movement.

Anyone who doesn't inform himself either wants to be ignorant, or they support the "gay" agenda. There is no excuse for remaining ignorant.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Suppose I told you Procter & Gamble created and ran an ad that showed two men (in fuzzy focus at top center of the ad) in bed after an apparent sexual encounter.

Suppose I told you the ad showed clothing scattered across the floor like the two men were in a hurry to get undressed and get into the bed.

Substitute a man and a woman, and I would still be offended. I'm sick of the over-sexualizing of everything in our society. And now it's a laundry product, for god's sake! But that's just me. I'm against porn, unlike many of the FR posters. Tsss, call me a conservative!

I'm not big on boycotts. I haven't boycotted any of the companies (or music groups) proposed by posters on FR, but I think I'll boycott Proctor & Gamble. Their ad sounds pretty repulsive. I'm not even anti-gay, just anti having it thrown in my face.

[Rebelbase]

You need to boycott Burger King now. They have a commerical that shows a man sleeping waking up next to the King. Creepy.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

"while suppressing his nature?"

Suggestions that one pursue a course of change, isn't equivalent to FORCING anyone to suppress their "so-called" nature.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

So you're yawning. Who cares?

[Salvation]

BTTT

[tai-pan]

as a long time shareholder, I thank you

[Optimus Prime]

Yeah, it was in a gay paper, so it's not a big deal.

My beef, though, is with a Cingular ad they showed a while back. In it, they had a bunch of couples going off about why their cell phone bills were so high, and they found out that it was from talking with their signifant others (I.E. They switched from one couple to another, with one member of the couple looking through their phone records, and then screaming "YOU!" at the other member). Well, one of those couples were to guys, in the bathroom of a bedroom in the morning, in their shorts after having gotten up from bed. What the hell?!? And that ad wasn't run on gay tv shows or anything, it was run everywhere. Showing like half-a-dozen straight couples, and then they threw in an obviously gay couple. What was up with that?

[Glenmerle]

the company pulled its support of the Dr. Laura show after she criticized the homosexual lifestyle.

That's when I stopped buying P&G products. I'd bought Crest toothpaste and Tide for more than two decades, but no more. Haven't bought them in ages. No more of P&G's Millstone coffee in the house, either. And whenever I have the opportunity to steer someone away from buying P&G, I do.
