Not to get in the middle of a pissing match, but how does one get informed to be able to make these decisions? I saw no news story about Fords pro-gay advertising. I'm glad there are people out there letting me know whats going on (thats why we are all here isn't it?) and I can choose if I want to join an organized boycott or not. Only when people of like minds act together will huge companies like Ford, Lowes, Macys, etc listen. Its just like the dc chapter of Freerepublic, they inform you of whats going on and ask you to join their protests.

Ford made a decision a few years ago to court the gay community as a market segment, and actually offered buying incentives such as a discount to gay buyers. One of the ads that American Family Association particularly objected to was a side view of the interior of a vehicle's front seats with the parking brake pulled up in such a way that it looked like an erect phallus.

As for the Gay Games, they are public displays of greased and pierced male bodies in Speedos and leather straps with all body hair removed by waxing, including the chest and underarms; the games are usually held in public venues where families pass by; and the obvious point of them is the partying and dissolving into orgy behavior as the day wears on. And of course, the posting of lots of grope'n'grab photos on web sites "celebrating" the event and gayness in general, contributing to the Big Lie that mindless promiscuity has no downside. It's a revolting spectacle that a corporation, as a publicly-owned entity, has no business sponsoring.

My guess is that shareholder influence has been as powerful as the AFA in putting a stop to this PC BS.
