Anti-gay RW groups urging boycott of P&G products.
Claiming that Procter & Gamble is an "overly-gay friendly" employer, the American Family Assn. and Christian Ministry Focus on the Family are urging conservatives to boycott P&G Products, specifically Crest, Tide, and Pampers.

I'm stopping at the grocery on the way home today to stock up on all the Crest, Tide, and Pampers I can get into my car to drop off at the local Women's Shelter.

1. Good luck to them
I used to work for their advertising company. They produce EVERYTHING. Boycotting all of their products would be virtually impossible.

2. P&G Tests on Animals
Supports unfair trade coffee

and has a horrible environmental and labor record

I wouldn't support them just because of 1 issue.

4. Huge conglomerates like P&G
swallow up small alternative competitors, and are the biggest cause of lack of jobs in America. I have stopped buying major brands entirely, preferring to seek out smaller companies whenever I need something. These giant monopolies have literally destroyed 'capitalism' for little people trying to keep their business enterprises afloat. When people continue to support octopus-like monopolies, they are aiding and abetting Corporatism (the better word for Fascism).

Support Small Business wherever and whenever you can!
