A document provided to Breitbart News shows the investment banking behemoth JP Morgan Chase has joined a long line of major corporations in putting pressure on employees to sign up for the cause of gay rights. And they have not-so-subtly let each employee know not signing up will be noted.
Employees are being told to help create an environment for open and honest dialogue. The document notes descriptors such as wife and boyfriend are frowned upon, and partner is preferred. Not referring to your wife as your wife offers up the opportunity for more inclusive conversations.
JP Morgan urges employees to print and display your ally placard, which implies the recalcitrant will be noticed.
The document tells employees to explore your personal beliefs, use inclusive language, avoid making assumptions by asking conscientious questions, increase your awareness about issues impacting the gay community, include LGBT issues in your everyday life, attend events that celebrate diversity and inclusion, and speak out against hurtful comments.
This follows a controversy last year when JP Morgan Chase sent each employee a survey asking them if they were a gay ally. JP Morgan employees reached out anonymously to Breitbart News and other outlets about the pressure put on them to violate their own religious consciences.

I've been with them since they were Bank One. Anyone have any ideas of a bank to go with. I won't use Bank of America Mexico or Wells Fargo (idiots). What's left?
Yup, I’ve been with them since ‘83. Time to move to a local credit union.
I thinking banning perfectly normal words and forcing people to walk on eggshells all the time creates a hostile workplace
My head just exploded.
Enough of this crap already...I’m cancelling my Chase credit card before the day is over, and making sure they know why. Why are we redefining our entire culture to accomodate and appease a miniscule percentage of our civilation who practice a deviant and diseased lifestyle? Jesus, come soon!
Husband OK?
” The most effective way to fight it, is not to lose your sense of humor in doing so. ”
Humor will do absolutely nothing to slow them down. All it will do is disarm you from the fight, because you’ll foolishly think that by getting a laugh at them you’ll have effectively engaged them.
The same brutal force that they use against us is the only thing that will work. They will even make your humor illegal, if they have to.
Aborted babies are ZERO percent of the population! Everyone else has a strong opinion one way or the other, just like the issues regarding Sodomites.
The new State Religion is Political Correctness.
No established Religion is protected and most are under assault by this State Religion
When seeking answers to societal ills, such as the racism that fueled the murders in S. Carolina, the State is quick to jump on a flag as the motivation, when it is actually the Godlessness of the culture.
When trying to determine right from wrong the State demands we not refer to Religious teachings, but rather the State mandated Political Correctness.
I think “executive” insults all employees.
“I thinking banning perfectly normal words and forcing people to walk on eggshells all the time creates a hostile workplace”
It’s bullying.
Freedom of speech.
Honest dialogue would be to refer to them as catcher and pitcher or packer and packee but I don’t see that flying.
bump
Really? Just about every one I've ever run into made it a point to talk non-stop about it. Nobody else cared or would have ever brought it up, but that's all they could talk about.
“Partner” makes it sound like you share interest in a business.
How degrading.
...as long as it applies to the queers as well.
I know several who refer to their (whatever) as ‘husband’ or ‘wife’.
Fat chance, though...
Not sure, but I thought the rule-of-thumb was that all financial service companies leaned left because of liberal monetary policies. Keep priming the pump so the market goes up, and leave it to the adults to fix the mess later.
