Thumbs up Have you driven a Ford lately?

This year at the annual shareholders meeting they voted down a proposal to remove sexual orientation from their employee non-discrimination policy by a whopping 95%! Ex-gay watch has the scoop.

I’ve been receiving email action alerts for the past several months about how “anti-family” Ford is for advertising in gay publications and for having a non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation, so now our beloved “pro-family” groups are all up in arms about the vote.

The AFA even started up www.boycottford.com. It’s one of those things you’d think would make your blood boil, but for the gay and gay friendly alike it reads like a giant promotion. Among the litany of 'charges they allege' is:

“Ford was given a 100% score on last year's Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. Ford was the only automaker and the largest corporation to get this score.”

...Come to think of it I haven’t driven a Ford lately.

I heard they hired a black, lesbian, jewish, x-co-joined rastaferian trapped in a eunich parakeets body to cover all the bases... Some where in S. Dakota I think, but I may be wrong
