Subaru Boasts of a Decade’s Worth of Promoting Homosexuality
Concerned Women for America ^ | 12/20/2004 | Robert Knight

Spread in ‘gay’ magazine lists accomplishments; Avis also vies for ‘gay’ dollar

It’s important to give credit where it’s due. So car buyers should know that Subaru takes its role as the most pro-homosexual car company very seriously.

In fact, the company bought a four-page, four-color pullout section in the December 21, 2004, The Advocate magazine, surrounding a celebration of 11 “People of the Year” selected by the magazine since 1990. Honorees include V. Gene Robinson (December 23, 2003), the homosexual Episcopal bishop; Rosie O’Donnell (January 21, 2003); George Michael (January 19, 1999), following Michael’s arrest for lewdness in a Beverly Hills restroom, and former Gay and Lesbian Task Force leader Urvashi Vaid and the late artist Robert Mapplethorpe (both December 18, 1990). Note: Vaid’s book was endorsed by presidential and vice-presidential advisor Mary Matalin, and Mapplethorpe is known for his homoerotic, X-rated images that engulfed the National Endowment for the Arts in controversy.

As for Subaru, the fourth page includes this summary:

“Subaru of America celebrates ten years of support for the gay and lesbian community.

• First national automaker to sponsor the Human Rights Campaign

• First automaker to extend domestic partner benefits to all employees

• Featured on The L Word [Showtime’s lesbian drama]

• Recipient of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center’s Corporate Leadership Award

• First automaker to insert custom creative in gay media

• Founding sponsor of the Rainbow Endowment, whose Visa Rainbow Card has raised more than $1.5 million for health, civil rights and cultural causes

• Sponsor of numerous gay and lesbian cultural and athletic events

• Presenting sponsor of the 2004 AIDS LifeCycle.”

Sample ads from past campaigns are pictured, including one with a photo of a Subaru wagon with the slogan above it: “It’s Not a Choice. It’s the Way We’re Built.”

In 2001, all three major domestic auto companies – General Motors, Ford and Chrysler – adopted “domestic partner” benefits, with Ford earning a 100% rating this year from the Human Rights Campaign as one of the most “gay-friendly” companies in the U.S.

Not to be outdone, Avis, the rental car agency, purchased a two-page, inside cover ad in the January/February OutTraveler, a companion edition to Out magazine. The ad shows a man with his arms around another man, kissing him on the cheek, with this text:

“For over a decade, Avis has automatically included domestic partners as additional drivers in the U.S. No extra fees charged, no questions asked. And now, we’re coming out in grand style, including domestic partners as additional drivers internationally. So go ahead, take a spin.”

While voters are moving to strengthen marriage laws, and parents are fighting to keep homosexual propaganda out of the schools, many of America’s corporate titans have gone pell-mell for the rich, niche, homosexual market. In fact, the Human Rights Campaign calls corporate America “the driving wheel” of homosexual activism.

Except for Philadelphia, where preaching the Gospel on the street gets you arrested on a felony “hate crime,” America is still a free country, so consumers should be aware of companies’ extracurricular activities when deciding where they spend their money.

You can also respectfully let companies know how you feel about their sponsorship of homosexual activism. It helps the most to contact local dealers, but it’s also good to contact the company.

"Is capitalism Christian? No. It neither advances existing human virtues nor corrects ingrained personal vices; it merely reflects them."
It is plain to start that Bandow doesn't get it. Relationships are the foundation of life and society. By creating an enviornment where ones efforts to serve enable one to creat a living is the moral thing to do.

Bandow has probably never had a real job.

# That screams - SAFETY

#I want a car that is safe.
# I want a President who will keep my country safe.
# I have a gun to keep me safe!
Just subconscious wishful thinking on my part, I guess.

what kind of oil do you use?

Shell Roletta T (regular version in the '91 and synthetic in the '97 TDI) (and Walmart is selling the Shell synthetic stuff at like $12.98 for the gal jug... good price especially compared to Mobile 1!)

Appreciate the info.

When I was a mechanic 35 years ago, engines were good for about 100,000 before overhaul, and I attribute the longer life of newer motors to better oils.

I am not making this up: a few years ago, the local paper reported that Subaru was now the most popular brand of car in Ithaca, finally surpassing Volvo.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

It's not for nothing that they're known as Lesbarus.

On the way to work today, I saw a white Subaru Outback wagon with a Cornell sticker on it. Not an everyday sight in Jackson, MS.

(I can't throw stones though. I own a Subaru too.)

I bought a Subaru Outback station wagon a couple of years ago because it could carry my kids and a lot of our camping/reenacting/horseback riding gear, go through difficult country with some ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability, and get much better gas mileage than an SUV that cost the same ($21.5K).

Around here (MA/southern NH), if you own a Subaru Outback or a Subaru Legacy, you might as well put a big neon sign on it that says "DIESEL DYKE."

It seems like every large corporation has fallen for the PC side of life. They should feel the pain in their pocketbooks

It's a fact. Any commerical effort that is willing to alienate 97% of comsumers to market to 3% is not commercial; it's political.

And now, despite the NRA, foxhunting, and Confederate First National decals on the back, everybody thinks I'm a lesbian!

Yeah, and what's with Lance Armstrong endorsing them? Don't tell me he's a closet gay... (!!)

His name is Lance. He wears a bracelet. He still rides his bike. What do you think?

Good Lord. What do people up there expect a woman to do if she needs to haul stuff? How do they react when they see a pretty blonde lady driving an F-350 V-8 diesel dually pulling a gooseneck stock trailer full of hunt horses? The horses have to get where they have to go. I was just about to upgrade to a big ol' truck this spring. Around here--the Maryland/Virginia area--it's common to see a cute little girl like my sixteen-year-old daughter driving a big bad truck with a ton of hay in the back. And believe me, we are not dykes, no matter what fuel is in the truck.

Thumbs up, baby. Thumbs up.

Girl, cowboy hat, long hair, white t-shirt, overalls, in the cab of a Ford pick-up truck . . . madonne.
