WASHINGTON, November 22, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) In a rare successful pushback against the pro-gay rights corporate culture, customers of Bank of America and the Cisco Corporation have won a promise from the two companies not to discriminate against employees or vendors who publicly oppose same-sex marriage.
The National Organization for Marriages (NOM) Corporate Fairness Project announced Nov. 7 that both companies, which the leading gay rights group Human Rights Campaign had rated favorably, backtracked on a decision to cancel seminars by Frank Turek, who is a traditional marriage advocate. Frank Turek was 'fired' by both Cisco and Bank of America because of his pro-family views.
Earlier this year, Cisco had cancelled its contract with Dr. Frank Turek, its leadership and teambuilding program co-ordinator, after receiving complaints from a homosexual manager with the company regarding Tureks authorship of a book on homosexuality and marriage, entitled Correct, not Politically Correct: How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone.
Months later, a seminar Turek was scheduled to give for Bank of America employees was also cancelled because of his pro-marriage views.
Cisco has now admitted it was incorrect to discriminate against vendors such as Frank Turek, while Bank of America announced that Dr. Turek remains a vendor in good standing with us.
Jonathan Baker, Director of NOMs Corporate Fairness Project, said that his organization had written the boards of both companies raising our concern and asking if company policy really permits otherwise qualified employees and vendors to be punished for speaking out on a public issue like same-sex marriage.
Baker said that his group also encouraged Bank of America customers to urge the company not to discriminate against same-sex marriage supporters, resulting in 1,400 calls to the corporate complaint line.

“beer and brandy were issued daily to all troops. Now, daily use is known as an illness”
Utter, commplete, unimaginable nonsense.
You are still worrying about Muslims, when they aren’t even the threat? I suppose you’d be okay with Christianity being wiped off the face of the earth, as long as it wasn’t Muslims doing it? The left has done a tremendous job of using Muslims to distract conservatives of what’s important.
The Muslims, the atheists, the communists, the Left,
all are working for the same entity.
There are only two sides, and I know who eventually wins.
My point was that Muslims AREN’T “sensitive” when they claim these offenses. They are imposing supremacy.
Not in the least.
