They don’t want their products boycotted by gay people just straights.

Lockheed used to work with the systems support group at work. They thought they were ignoramuses.
I figure the Boy Scout’s alternative must be doing pretty well, so someone ordered Lockheed to make a stink.

Lockheed Martin is the subject of several major environmental cleanup lawsuits by the Govt. This time I’m rooting for the Govt to win.

Old Christmas song, “Let them pay, let them pay, let them pay”.

I didn’t realize Lockhead Martin had that many sexual deviants working there. Just wow!

Most of the major defense contractors have been taken over by the Gaystapo. It started at Texas Instruments at Texas. Raytheon bought out TI, and the disease has spread like wildfire.

Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.

How many fighter jets or rocket launchers do you typically buy in a year?

Lockheed is in a pickle having chose MD for their headquarters. They maintain a hotel on their facility and fly in employees from all over the country to train them. Montgomery County had been getting taxes from hotel fees, until the State stepped in and gave them a tax break - $450,000 per year.

So LM is now a slave of MD Gov't now anyway.

Like I said earlier, my son will be disappointed that the F-35 Lightening that he wanted for Christmas will not be under the tree this year and I will not have to shell out the 200 million dollars.

Lockheed doesn’t like enlisted type prior servicemen either.

I stopped giving money to the scouts because of their new position as well. I wanted them to keep their “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for kids, because scouts is not sexual and therefore sexual preference should not be an issue.

But instead, they openly endorsed the idea of sexually active boys in scouts, by formally endorsing openly gay scouts.

Meanwhile, the scouts have had to spend millions of dollars on legal settlements because of gay adult leaders.

The scouts have banned openly atheist members since their founding. Unlike the gay issue, which until recently was really a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy where it only became an issue if a boy or an adult decided to openly discuss their sexual preference, there was never a doubt that if you did not practice reverence, you would not be long for scouting.

It is hilarious that any company is just discovering this.

On the other hand, I kind of wish companies would not do major sponsorship of organizations of any kind. A company exists to build things and sell them, and any money they give away is either making their products more expensive, or lowering their value to shareholders.

Source for that?

I personally know a few dozen former enlisted working in many technical, engineering, safety, quality assurance, etc. capacities for Lockheed.

A few years ago the national organization would not let us cut and split our own firewood. That about ended it for me.
