The Lockheed Martin Corp. is cutting ties with the Boy Scouts of America because the group does not allow gay Scout leaders, officials told the MDJ on Wednesday.
“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
The reference to “religious affiliation” has to do with the Boy Scouts’ ban on atheist members.

That’s it! I won’t be buying anymore airplanes from those guys.
Making a joke but there is nothing we average people can do.

but anything to please Obama if your revenues depend on him
Literally-- some 400 of the Fortune 500 have pro-homosexual policies that go beyond donations. They're into lobbying proactively for LGBT legislation, installing norms for their own corporate recruitment, retention, and promotion of employees which favor gays, etc. etc.
A lot of FReepers reflexively defend capitalism as a great system for freedom, and yet the Godless Capitalists are working in concert to destroy our moral, pro-faith-and-family American culture and replace it with hedonism, humanism, --- oh heck, I may as well say Baal, Moloch and Mammon.
Big Obama supporters too, natch.
Why?
Why is Big Capitalism so averse to freedom? And so perverse?
And why does Godless Capitalism win such uncritical support from FReepers?

Subject: New Rules for Corporate Contributions
All,
For your awareness, Corporate Communications recently reviewed Lockheed Martin’s philanthropic giving guidelines to ensure our contributions to non-profit organizations are consistent with the company’s values and policies. Based on that review, all non-profit organizations asking for Lockheed Martin funding will now be required to align with our values, commitment to diversity, or approach to equal opportunity. This update also affects any company supported volunteerism efforts with these organizations, and employees can no longer serve as a Lockheed Martin representative on boards of organizations that do not align with the new guidelines.
Tomorrow, the company will issue an LM News article outlining the policy changes. At MST, the majority of our non-profit partners align with these guidelines, so we do not expect the changes to have a significant impact. However, I wanted you to be aware that there will be some changes to our local support of organizations like the Boy Scouts of America.
My team is working to ensure affected organizations and employees are aware of these new guidelines. If you receive any questions or have any concerns about the policy update, please let me know.
Thanks for your support,

Amazing. Thanks.
Don’t forget your NSA hardware/software.
Bingo!
My ten year old boy is going to be disappointed when a F-35 Lightening is not under the tree on Christmas morning.
notice how all the homsexuals in the media and the nyc media (cnn, msnbc, fnc) are ALL on the same page with regards to “christianity does not allow disagreement with santioning homosexual behavior” meme.
the journ-o-list is out in force.
THAT’S IT!!!!! I’m buying my next jumbo jet from Boeing!!!
I was a Boy Scout many decades ago, but am not involved now - so you clearly have much more experience than I do. Nonetheless, I follow this case very closely, because modern political correctness effects all faith-based organizations, and the funding issue is critically important with all non-profits as well
It seems that the Boy Scouts national council in the 1990's became very fat and happy. They had a huge organization and funding provided by eager corporations - that offered the opportunity for many high paying jobs, great pensions, and expensive camps, like "The Summit." With this, the funding became greater than the mission. When times changes (as they always do) they found they had to sacrifice their basic beliefs on the alter of mammon and political correctness.
Yep!
Kind of like freaking out scared of mooslimbs.
Do not confuse “capitalism” in any shape or form to the relationship between the regime and LM.
Any more than the relationship between Hitler and Krupp was “capitalism.”
The correct word is fascism.
Did you know LM’s spokes-person was Obama’s asst spokesperson in his last job?
I didn’t know “homosexual” was a religious affiliation
“This crap is getting old.”
Walking around the yard, observing my Poodle’s ‘droppings’, I notice that old crap shrinks in size and gets harder, before starting to decay, as exposed to various seasonal weather.
bo IS getting old! And needs to be collected into compost.
Well, that’s the last F-35 I buy!
I am afraid that Lockheed Martin is on the way out unless they change their policies. Do not know how long that will take, but it will happen, IMO. It is time for Gordon Johndroe to start looking for another job, maybe in Hollywood.
You cannot have an organization where physics, engineering, and science are absolutely crucial to success, and have people who cannot connect the dots in decision making positions. Men and women are NOT interchangeable. There is a God.
“So Lockheed is endorsing sodomy?”
Their jets DO have hot tailpipes!
