Corporate Activism For Abortion and Homosexuality |
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: http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/05/ford_tops_sponsors_on_glaadapp.php

Sears Supports
Homosexual TV Network With Advertising
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.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life organization that monitors corporations that donate money to Planned Parenthood has released a new list of companies that give money to the nation's largest abortion business. New corporations on the boycott list include jeweler Tiffany & Company and Blackjack Pizza restaurants.

after LifeSiteNews.com Expose
By John-Henry Westen
BENTONVILLE, AR, November 15, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A graphic sex-ed manual promoting lesbianism to teenage girls has been dropped by Wal-Mart only days after LifeSiteNews.com published a story exposing Wal-Mart's sale of the controversial book.
Produced by St. Stephens' Community House in Toronto, the book is titled "The Little Black Book for Girlz: A Book on Healthy Sexuality". Parents were outraged when they learned of the book which gives detailed instruction for teens to engage in lesbian sex acts.

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
Tuesday, December 6, 2005
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:
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.
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."
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."
