Ford Keeps Pro-Homosexual Employment Policy Friday, May 12, 2006 Written By Sam Kastensmidt
This week, Ford Motor Company hosted its annual shareholders meeting -- plagued by a nationwide pro-family boycott, declining U.S. sales, and a stock price that has fallen over ten percent since April 1.
At this year's meeting, stockholders were asked to vote on whether to repeal a section of the company's non-discrimination clause, which extends special privileges to various deviant sexual orientations and homosexual partnerships.
A Strong Start Encourages Pro-Family Leaders
While the measure failed to pass, many pro-family conservatives are thrilled with the positive strides that have been made in the battle to repeal several pro-homosexual policies embraced by Ford Motor Company executives in recent years.
At the start of the meeting, William Ford, Jr., the corporation's chairman of the board, ignored concerns over the recent boycott of Ford products that has been championed by the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, American Family Association, and seventeen other pro-family organizations. In fact, he urged shareholders to vote against the measure to repeal the policies, despite having to admit that "the exception to our worldwide success is our North American automotive operations."
The proposed measure received five percent of the votes -- a sizeable number considering that the chairman urged opposition to it. More importantly, the measure received five times the number of votes necessary to be brought up again at next year's meeting. This gives values-oriented organizations more time to mount effective campaigns.
Pro-Family Voices Speak Up at the Meeting
Ford shareholder Tom Strobhar, a pro-family activist from Ohio, explained why he supported the resolution. "Ford is paying domestic partner benefits while cutting retirement benefits. Our company is closing plants while building gay and lesbian centers," he explained. "These organizations use [our money] to aggressively promote same-sex marriage. In addition, we advertise in publications whose primary focus is gay sex."
"These policies have come about in the last few years ... [and have] spit in the eye of conservative religious groups," Strobhar continued. "During that time we've lost over $50 billion in market value, and J.P. Morgan predicts there's a 43 percent chance of bankruptcy. It is a simple fact that some people are refusing to buy our products because of [the pro-homosexual] policies."
The Battle Continues
Already, the Center has gathered over 52,000 commitments from people vowing to support a nationwide boycott of Ford products for one year (to be reevaluated in March 2007). Dr. Gary Cass, executive director of the Center, regretfully endorsed the boycott after Ford refused to withdraw funding from organizations that lobby for same-sex "marriage." In a press release, Cass stated, "We must put the well-being of our children ahead of Ford Motor Company's bottom line."

Don Wildmon, chairman of AFA, announced, "The mere fact that five percent voted for this proposal came as a shock. I think it sends a loud message, and we're very grateful that we got that five percent and that this issue can come back up again next year. We have a lot of time to work on it."

Well...well...
What's the GMC policy?
FORD ALWAYS ready to take it up the Tailpipe.
Sounds to me like they are positioning themselves for a government bail out. Uncle Sam can't let a liberal pro-gay company go under.

They are in suicide mode.
So what kind of cars does this Center for Reclaiming America for Christ organization suggest we purchase? Here all this time I thought the gay cars were the 4-cylinder versions of popular performance vehicles except with downsized wheels and automatic transmission selected.

No one else is buying Fords, might as well target gays.
Like you said, if they'd get the diesel Focus over here, they'd have a lot less to worry about. But, I'm afraid this is the face of modern corporation: fiddling while Rome burns.
Ford Motor brands' giveback offers to HRC, GLAAD (Homosexual "rights" organizations)
Ford Motor Co. began introducing its brands Jaguar, Volvo and Land Rover to the gay market in a series of one roughly every six months, starting in January 2003. (Ford has not yet brought its own brand name out, and as yet there is no indication when it will.)
Building on a new sponsorship of the Human Rights Campaign, Jaguar began an annual giveback purchase offer program with $1,000 donations going to HRC for a purchase or lease. Less than a year later, Volvo followed with $500 donations; a few months thereafter, Land Rover jumped in at $1,000 a sale. Last year, the brands switched the donations for Volvo and Land Rover to GLAAD, while Volvo remained with HRC.

Do the other car manufacturers you list here advertise in publications whose primary focus is gay sex? Ford does.
Divest quick if you own any of it.
Sodomy is Job One.
Unnngh.
Sounds more like numer 2. . . . yeuck!
'number' even!
I wonder if Ford's chutney ferret policy applies to their British factorys?
ROFL!
Real World Rule of Selling #1: People buy things from people they like.
Piss me off and I take my business elsewhere.
Ford catering to homosexuals ping.
Because of EPA’s stringent Tier II emissions rules
Pro-gay policies aside, I would never buy anything with the name "Ford" on it because of the Ford Foundation and what it supports. Check out http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/funderProfile.asp?fndid=5176
One of the things the Euro's do right is allow and encourage diesels. I believe 60% of their cars are diesel, and the new ones are almost indistinguishable from gas, except they get much better MPG. Audi has a turbo-diesel race car that just won the 12 Hours at Sebring. It seems nobody is willing to do anything until California's diesel requirements go into effect next year. If G.W. can do anything to advance it a year sooner, so much the better. Anyway, diesels get better MPG than hybrids on the freeway. My next vehicle will be a turbo-diesel that can run on biodiesel, no more gas. In a pinch, I can always fill up at Walmart.
Behind every pro-homosexualization of society initiative and argument is a disordered heterosexual -look and you will find them pushing their agenda of self destruction...
Ford ping
Yes, thanks, I saw it. Tick tick tick...
"FIND a major public corporation doing business in the US that can withstand the EEOC issues of having a policy contrary to the one Ford follows."
There's nothing in EEOC that requires, say, domestic partnership benefits. Right?
Thanks. Facts help. I was unaware. wow/sad ...
Henry Ford in grave @4400 rpm. Is this the same company whose founder had strict policies about the personal moral conduct of his employees?
So.....all I have to do is drill some guy up the bum and I can get a job with Ford?
Why not be completely honest and report that the buyer has to turn in a coupon, and the total donations are limited to $30,000? You make it sound like they've added $1k to the price of every vehicle and it all goes to this purpose, when in fact you can opt out of having your money go to that cause....
Oh right, that would expose the boycott for the shameless publicity stunt it is....
Yes, but that's beside the point....
In fact, BMW was getting flack because they were advertising in those publications but not offering "partner" benefits, iirc
Goodness... how many times do people have to point out that the Ford Foundation and Ford Motor have not been related since the 1950s for you people to understand?
Might want to make sure you get ALL the facts....

So about 5,000 cars a year if 10% would have bought a Ford this year.
Well, I have been reading this thread ;-)
That's a start, but you won't find all the facts from the AFA. Just what they want you to know and believe....
This means that Meyer will not be buying a Mustang this year. No more Fords for me.
The whole stinking country appears to be in suicide mode lately.
My next truck will most likely be coming from Nissan, Toyota or Dodge.
