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.

Make sure you tell your local dealer; after he thinks he has made a deal.

We of the Blue Oval persuasion have long known GM builds gay vehicles 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.

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.

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.

One more reason (besides taking the bailout) to NOT buy any GM product.

“...they’re inclusive and that they celebrate diversity...”

####

Don’t know about y’all, but that little disgusting phrase there, is an emetic nonpareil.

Me? I’m going to have an all day “celebration” of my normalcy.

I told the owner this morning via a phone call. He was livid and going to contact the regional sales manager and lodge a complaint.
