Homosexuals Angry at ConocoPhillips

Homosexuals Angry at ConocoPhillips

A major oil company has removed "sexual orientation" from its nondiscrimination policy.

Homosexual activists are up in arms because another major oil company, ConocoPhillips, has pulled back from a policy that homosexuals covet.

Conoco included the words "sexual orientation" until it merged with Phillips Petroleum last year. The new company erased the language, according to Kelly Shackelford, head of the Plano, Texas-based Freedom Foundation. Conoco-Phillips is based in Houston.

"Just as a lot of conservatives and pro-family people complain when people go the wrong direction, ConocoPhillips needs to be congratulated and, in fact, more business done with them," Shackelford said.

The ConocoPhillips move follows a similar rollback by another huge oil company, ExxonMobil. According to the Rev. Duane Motley, these two actions by megacorporations are serious reversals for homosexual activist groups — and their tactics.

"First of all, they get government to support their beliefs and their orientation, and then, when they get the governments, they go after the businesses and say, 'Look, government does it, why can't you do it?' " he said.

Motley, who is president and founder of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, saw these same tactics played out in New York in December, when the New York Legislature added "sexual orientation" to state discrimination laws, making homosexuality a favored status.

"What the homosexual agenda is, they want to have their people treated with extra rights and privileges that the ordinary citizens do not have," Motley said. "So what these companies are saying is, 'We're going to treat everyone equal.' "

ConocoPhillips has said it will now rely on federal laws, which outlaw discrimination against anyone.

TAKE ACTION

Hey, it is simple - we thank two oil companies by giving them our business, and if the qu..r's don't like it, let them walk...and walk...and walk...or put 'em in a time machine and send them back some 4000 years to Sodom...

I would like to complement you and stand by you on your decision to drop the insideous 'sexual orientation' language from your harassment and discrimination policies. The language in question cheapens and dilutes the gravity of the harassment and discrimination policies. Alot of people fought hard to get the policy instituted for harassment and discrimination on the basis of color and sex.

To have this policy carelessly applied mocks the achievments and progress of the civil rights era. You have my support, and I ask you to stand fast in support of the fortification of your Harassment Policies.

Try That...

Hey Xthe17th,

If we ditch the 16th amendment that reduces their play money and power to a point no one would run for senator and they'd have to be appointed, right?

Probably not, we need to repeal both these amendments.

Sorry my rant was off subject. With these two amendments gone maybe the federalist would go back to doing their only constitutional job, defending American citizens so we can have life, liberty and persue our happiness. They as politicians have no business in our arts, housing, education, healthcare etc...
