FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) A Gay Pride rainbow flag is flying high above the Fort Wayne G-M Assembly Plant. A viewer submitted a photo to WANE on Monday using our Report!t feature of a Gay Pride flag at the Fort Wayne GM Plant.
The flag is stirring controversy for some but making others like Jerry Lawson hopeful equality is on its way.
"I think that they're just setting a very huge example for Fort Wayne that equality is pretty much on its way," Lawson said.
GM put the rainbow flag up earlier this week. Officials there said they notified employees about it. They're hoping this will spark some conversation.
The President of the IPFW United Sexualities group said they already have people talking.
"It makes a statement that they're inclusive and that they celebrate diversity within their company," President of IPFW United Sexualities Chris Gunderson said.

Oh, I'm sure it will spark some conversation - but just like JC Sodom, GM is clueless about the type of conversation it will spark.
Chalk up another idiot move by a major US company to cater to the 2% and lose more business from the 98%.
You’re being generous. More like 1%.
I’ll tell you what this is about. One of the homosexuals in the Obama adminstration ordered GM to raise the flag or else. Obama owns GM so they have to do what he says.
Would a Christian flag “spark conversation”?
What is this “GM” you speak of?
way to sell your trucks to knuckle dragging conservatives. chevy packs fudge deep???
Wonderful.
Will GM fly the Christian flag next week?
You know, to celebrate diversity.
Obama has spoken.
As a life long GM man for 42 years... it could have been a new GMC truck for me but I will not support those that betray GOD. Bye bye GM!
LLS
I never thought of automakers as Metrosexuals, but I guess they are...or at least the ones represented by the UAW.
REAL MEN would never put up with this crap.
Government Motors already lost my business for other reasons. This just confirms it for me.
Same here. I had already written off GM as a possible source for my next vehicle. (due to it being “Government Motors” now) It (GM) is twice as written off now.
Celebrate diversity or promote a social agenda?
I don’t care if they have a flag-of-the-month club but I’m willing to bet it won’t ever include the Christian flag or the Gadsten flag. But the black power fist flag, muslim brotherhood and the code pink flag should be OK.
Pretty sad when our universities can’t graduate chemists, engineers, or physicists but have bumper crops of diversity studies, sociologist, and african awareness candidates. And then corporations have to find a place for these oxygen-wasters in the name of PC.
You tell me how celebrating gays should influence my buying decision on a vehicle.
Ft Wayne used be known as “the city of churches.” This country is morally bankrupt I fear and Ozero wants it that way.

Baiting for “h8” to feed their famished “gay marriage is the Civil Rights Movement all over again” narrative. I hope nobody reacts short-sightedly.
Go ahead and spark conversation. Sandusky is going to prison and will suffer the same fate as his victims. Good to know GM supports, condones and encourages that behavior. Not that I was going to buy a GM anyway.....

Hey, Government Motors - I got some conversation for you.
Have you seen the new Fords, lately?
(Forgive me, dad - but things are different now...)
Here's one:
There is Power in a Union (Joe Hill- 1913)
(Chorus)
There is pow'r there is pow'r in a band of workingmen Homo-men,
When they stand hand in hand,and other body parts.
That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r
That must rule in every land—
One Industrial Gay Union Grand.

I have a 95 Chevy pickup, and a 94 Buick Roadmaster, as long as GM makes parts I will keep them, when they are done they will be replaced by Toyota in all likelihood.
I will never buy another GM product.
Let the Chinese buy them, that’s where GM is spending it’s money.
look for the union label
We of the Blue Oval persuasion have long known GM builds gay vehicles.
Just sayin’ ;)
On a serious note, it will be interesting to see GM sales numbers as the admin ramps up the propaganda, but also the used car numbers. I doubt some people will want to be seen in the ‘gay vehicle’.
But at least the 2% will be able to get’em cheap.
Since I’d never buy a POS GM car to begin with, I guess I can’t say I’m going to boycott them. They are turning more and more into British Leyland every day and will meet the same fate.
Here’s a novel idea: Why don’t you focus your energy on manufacturing?
Maybe their market research has shown that a lot of people get rear-ended in GM vehicles.
It's as if the people behind this want something like that to occur, so the media can turn it into the next circus.
Here’s some conversation. Let ONLY gays buy GM products and see what happens.
Oh good, like I needed another reason to never buy another GM product in my life.
I can see/hear it now,
“Drive the USA in your Chevrogay”
GM, Ford, and Chrysler all give employee benefits to same sex domestic partners. Hetero domestic partners get, you guessed it.....nothing.
How is this fair?
Spark conversation, my foot!
This is to find out who isn’t on board with so-called “diversity” so they can get rid of them. So if someone says something “intolerant”, they can force ... er ... “recommend” that person to take indoctrination ... I mean ... “sensitivity training” and if that doesn’t work, they will fire that person.
Of course, the Muslims have nothing to worry about because they are a PC protected group and it’s okay for them to be “homophobes”.
May God have mercy on this nation.
Years ago someone sued Exxon because the tiger they put in his tank was queer and it blew the engine.
And now Leon Panetta our Sucky Defense has endorsed Gay Pride month.
Disgusting the way some people want special recognition & privileges just because of the perverted manner in which they use their body plumbing. Even more disgusting is the way huge organizations kowtow to them.
The corporation which tells the faggie groups to f*** off will discover two things: prancing queers outside its HQ, and skyrocketing stock values & sales.
Of course, who do you think buys the Volt (trick question, as the real answer is NOBODY).
Awesome! That’s made me laugh out loud!
Make sure you tell your local dealer; after he thinks he has made a deal.
What the heck is IPFW United Sexualities group?
I probably don’t event want to know.
Hate to tell you Norm but Ford is pushing the gay agenda as much if not more than GM...no, make that more than GM. Besides..99.9999999989% of Americans never see this stuff such as the gay flag at the GM plant...
From google:
Subaru's wooing of the gay and lesbian audience seems to be working--at least on one level--because it was the overwhelming favorite (chosen by 45 percent of respondents, with Volkswagen and Ford a distant second and third) as the most gay-friendly car company.
GM just wants to kill off what little sales they have left.
it is bad enough the volt is the defacto “gay” car.
now they want to destroy the whole brand.
See my post #43..Ford is the most gay friendly auto co after Subaru #1 and VW #2...
A 2012 Rumpranger?
Another great marketing move!
Like New Coke.
Like Adidas Shackle shoes.
Like the JC Penny queer catalog.
Like Barack Obama as the healer of racial differences.
...Meanwhile, Hyundai continues to focus on product advancement and market expansion...
Here’s the address to “Government Motors”:

What in the hell is a “gay friendly car???”
