The so-called American Family Association is up in arms again about Ford. They’re already calling for a boycott of Ford because Ford refused to capitulate to their demands that the automaker stop “promoting the gay agenda.” And what makes them so mad at this American company? Quotes like this one, apparently:
“For us, it was very natural to address gay families. We’re targeting people with modern day values. It’s a value set and the Volvo-minded consumer is very diverse. ‘Family’ is much more than the traditional family.†- Thomas Anderson, executive vice-president of Volvo Cars North America, a division of Ford Motor Company, on definition of family.
Egad! Ford wants to sell cars to gay people. The horror. But that’s not all! Ford wants to give jobs to gay people, too:
- 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.
- Ford has been on the DiversityInc “Top 50 Companies for Diversity” list in each of the four years the rankings have been published. Read More
- Ford actively recruited homosexuals for employment by advertising on gay job websites.
The national morality nannies at the AFA are upset that Ford sponsored an episode of Without A Trace that featured two women kissing:
On a recent episode of CBS’s Without A Trace, Ford proved to the homosexual community the company’s commitment to their agenda. The Ford-sponsored program included a scene of two lesbians passionately kissing each other.

The national nannies at the AFA need to get a life and shut up. Without A Trace is a show for adults that is a somewhat-glamorized representation of the real world. In the real world, teenagers sometimes have sex (the subject of a different episode drawing the AFA’s ire) and lesbians kiss. Gay people have jobs and families. If that is morally repugnant to you, turn the channel.
