A pro-family group has completed a television monitoring project
that focused on recording ads and sponsors on programs reportedly
named by a major homosexual support group as giving positive
portrayals of that lifestyle. Ford, the automaker that's already a
target of conservative and pro-family groups, has emerged as the top
sponsor of those pro-homosexual programs.
American Family Association (AFA), which started the
year-old
boycott against Ford last spring because of its support of
homosexual media and organizations through advertising and financial
donations, says it has concluded a 12-week network TV monitoring
project that again points to Ford's support of the homosexual
agenda. AFA spokesman Randy Sharp says his group did not set out to
target the automaker this time. Full article at:

Sears Supports
Homosexual TV Network With Advertising
December 7, 2006
Two-minute infomercials sponsored explicitly by Sears
helps keep the homosexual network on the air.
Sears has thrown its support to the LOGO
network. LOGO is the 24-hour cable television network dedicated to
programming for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders
according to a
homosexual advertising website. It is carried on
many cable systems around the country. Many of you have been forced to
accept it as part of your cable package. Sears is now helping to
make it mainstream!
Sear's advertising will help LOGO air shows like "Sex 2K Drag Kings," "The
Gayest and Greatest of 2006," and "Transgeneration."
Sears advertising (two-minute infomercials) will go to help the fledging
network get on firm financial ground. Sears advertising is financing
LOGO's push to legalize homosexual marriage in addition to promoting the
homosexual lifestyle.
Sears is owned by Kmart Corporation.

Sexuality". Parents were outraged when they learned of the book which gives

Wal-Mart Hits
Teens with Gay Porn How-To Manual
By Gudrun Schultz
BENTONVILLE, AR, November 15,
2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A graphic sex-ed manual promoting
lesbianism to teenage girls is now offered for sale by Wal-Mart in
the United States. Called "irresponsible and obscene" and by the
Institute for Canadian Values, the material contains explicit
directions for engaging in oral/anal sexual acts. The book
encourages same-sex experimentation, telling girls that only 10
percent of the population is actually heterosexual, while 80 percent
is "mixed" or bi-sexual.
Produced by St. Stephens'
Community House in Toronto, the book titled "The Little Black Book
for Girlz: A Book on Healthy Sexuality" caused a storm of
controversy earlier this fall when parents and pro-family groups
first became aware of the books' content after it was published in
September.
The manual was further
condemned for using obscene and derogatory language. Examples
include a section entitled "My First Time F***ing a Girl" and the
statement "If you need someone to represent God The Holiness, then
for me, it's a fat black dyke."

Wal-Mart's 'Gay' Partnership Risks
Conservative 'Rollback'
By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor
August 29, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - After months of criticism from union-backed groups over
its employee pay and health care practices, Wal-Mart now faces a potential
"rollback" of support from conservatives because of the retail giant's
partnership with a homosexual business coalition.
"I don't think this is something that will sell on Main Street America, where
most Wal-Mart stores are located," said Tony Perkins, president of the
conservative Family Research Council (FRC). "I don't think cheap prices on goods
from China will be enough to stop a rollback in their customer base if they
choose to go down this aisle."
Joining the FRC in criticizing Wal-Mart's new alliance with the National Gay and
Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) is Americans for Truth, which describes
itself as "the only national organization devoted exclusively to exposing and
countering the homosexual activist agenda."
"Wal-Mart has always been a favorite of God-fearing Middle American customers
who hold traditional family values," said Peter LaBarbera, the group's founder
and president. "I'm very surprised that Wal-Mart would now bite the hand that
feeds it and thumb its nose at those very customers.
"It seems to me that Wal-Mart should reconsider its unsavory alliance with these
extremist homosexual activists in today's heated and polarizing culture war,"
LaBarbera added.
However, Bob McAdam, vice president of corporate affairs with Wal-Mart, told
Cybercast News Service that the world's largest retail company joined the
NGLCC "just like we have joined a number of other groups representing all parts
of the spectrum of our customers" - including women's organizations and minority
groups.
The conflict began on Aug. 21, when the NGLCC issued a
news release announcing "a partnership with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., as part
of the company's ongoing commitment to advancing diversity among all of its
associate, supplier and customer bases."
As part of that agreement, Wal-Mart will pay $25,000 to NGLCC - "the largest
LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender] business development and economic
advocacy organization in the world" - and has agreed to sponsor two of NGLCC's
annual conferences.
"We are honored to have Wal-Mart's support of the NGLCC," said the group's
co-founder and president, Justin Nelson. "Our partnership will not only provide
more opportunities for the Chamber, but the business community as a whole."
When asked by reporters why Wal-Mart had not issued a statement on the new
partnership, Nelson said that it's "normal procedure" for the NGLCC to handle
such announcements.
Since then, conservative organizations have become increasingly vocal in their
criticism of the new partnership.
Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women
for America, said that by joining forces with the NGLCC, Wal-Mart is "validating
the idea that homosexual activists have the right to shake down corporations out
of fear of being called bigots."
Perkins called the alliance "an odd new domestic partnership." He's asking FRC's
supporters to download a
flyer from
the group's website that asks why the retail chain is supporting homosexual
activism and place a copy of it at the customer service desk of the nearest
Wal-Mart.
As Cybercast News Service
previously reported, the retail giant has been no stranger to controversy
over the past year when union-sponsored groups such as WakeUpWal-Mart.com and
Wal-Mart Watch have charged the corporation with needing to meet
"higher expectations" and being
unsafe for shoppers.
McAdam said he expects the popularity of the company - which has about 3,900
outlets in the United States alone - will trump any criticism from either side
of the political aisle, just as when Wal-Mart
added homosexuals to its non-discrimination policy two years ago.
"I think our attraction to Americans in general speaks for itself, and that's
why comments from either side of the political spectrum or whatever
philosophical debate are less important than the daily approval we see from our
customers," McAdam said.
"Wal-Mart continues to serve the vast majority of Americans regardless of their
political persuasion or their personal beliefs," McAdam noted. "Last year, about
85 percent of Americans bought something at Wal-Mart. We have more than 138
million customers a week at Wal-Mart.
"With numbers of that size, we're dealing with just about everybody, and to that
extent, we want to be as welcoming as we can to every part of the spectrum, and
we will continue to be broad in our outreach," he added. "We welcome people of
all persuasions and all philosophies."
Not all homosexual activists are pleased with the new arrangement, though.
"Our community is a smart community, and we can see a shameless marketing
opportunity when it comes," Jeremy Bishop, program director of the "Pride at
Work" subsidiary of the AFL-CIO, told Cox Newspapers.
"For us, it's a matter of social and economic justice," Bishop added, "and
Wal-Mart has a long record of not treating its employees - gay or straight -
with equity and dignity."

Christian group pulls Wells Fargo accounts
Focus on the Family objects to donation to gay rights group
- Wyatt Buchanan, Chronicle
Staff Writer

From Phil Bronstein's SF Chronicle:
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/12/06/MNG5TG3K661.DTL
Quote:
"We absolutely made a $50,000 grant to
GLAAD, and we're absolutely proud of our support for the gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender community," said Chris Hammond,
spokesman for the banking giant, which gives about $2 million a year to
gay and lesbian organizations.
The conservative Christian group Focus on the Family
has closed all its Wells Fargo accounts because the San Francisco bank
contributed to a gay rights group that promised to use the funds to
"fight ... the anti-gay industry."
A Focus on the Family official would not disclose how
much money the organization kept with Wells Fargo, its primary bank, but
said the nonprofit group's income was $146 million last year.
"We don't expect corporate America to do our bidding
on the issues, but when they use the proceeds from our business and give
them to others who clobber us over the head, we say enough is enough,"
said Tom Minnery, who oversees public policy for the organization.
Focus on the Family's move follows a recent spate of
conservative boycotts and other actions against large companies that
support gay and lesbian causes, including Walgreens drugstores and Kraft
Foods Inc., both of which contributed to the Gay Games.

Starbucks: A habit easily broken
By Meghan Kleppinger,
assistant to the national field director at
Concerned Women for America.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Excepts posted with author's permission:
" When
a report came out earlier this year showing that none of Starbucks' charitable
contributions went to conservative causes, I didn't blink -- I bought a latte.
When I walked by a liquor store in Northeast D.C. with a big advertisement for
Starbucks liquor, I kept walking, stopped in at Starbucks and bought a latte!
When I was at work a couple weeks ago, reading an e-alert from our California
organization (yes, latte in hand), I finally had a wake-up call.
The alert described the annual "gay"
pride events which are scheduled in San Diego each year:
San Diego's annual
"Pride" events include dangerous "circuit" parties, a parade with sexual
content and sponsors along the route, including one advertising anal
lubricants, a festival with sexually oriented venues.
" Less than 30 minutes of
research revealed the following:
- Starbucks is listed on the Planned
Parenthood website under this introduction:
The following
companies all generously match employee donations to Planned Parenthood
Federation of America. If your employer is on this list, then you can
make your gift go as much as twice as far.
Seattle, Wash., held "Gay
Pride" events last month where, according to the newspaper, Seattle Post
Intelligence Reporter:
About 75 Starbucks employees
will march in the parade and will wear T-shirts in rainbow colors with
the word "PRIDE" on the front ... A van from the coffee company will
follow them. On Capitol Hill tomorrow, Starbucks employees at the
company's three stores there will pass out samples of Mint Mocha Chip
Frappuccino.
The marketing director for
Starbucks in Washington explained: "We're committed to supporting things
that matter to our employees and our customers."
Several conservatives are
upset already by Starbucks' fairly new "The way I see it campaign," which
prints quotes from actors, artists, etc., on the outside of their paper
cups. By visiting their website and reading some of the quotes, it's easy to
see why there has been this big brouhaha – nearly all of them are liberal
celebrities.
So what do I do now?
" I overestimated, but discovered that
if I drink five grande lattes a week for a year, the total number of lattes
would equal 260, coming to a total cost of $1,040. So, in my four post-college
years, I could have contributed as much as $4,160 to a company that supports the
volunteer work of child abusers, "Pride" events, abortionists, and do I really
need to go on? "
"Folks," what you do is up to you, but as for me
and my habit, I will no longer support Starbucks.

Starbucks' Cups
August 2005
From Concerned Women For
America:
"Starbucks Funds and Promotes
Homosexual Activism 8/10/2005 Click to enlarge The financial and political
support of the homosexual agenda by Starbucks, the nation’s leading coffee bar
chain, has some “frothing.” The company crossed the line for one customer when
it funded “Pride” events in San Diego, California that included activities for
children and known sex offenders on its volunteer staff. The coffee company
crossed the line for yet another customer when it placed a quote promoting
homosexual activity on the back side of her coffee cup."
