Fundies Boycotting P&G's "Homosexual Agenda"

Dear ,

Several groups have joined the boycott of Procter & Gamble. The P&G boycott was begun because of their promotion of the homosexual agenda.

In addition to AFA, groups that are participating in the boycott include Focus on the Family (Dr. James Dobson), The Center for Reclaiming America (Dr. James Kennedy), American Values (Gary Bauer), Point Of View Radio, Council for National Policy Action Inc., Exodus International, Faith2Action, Vision America, Free Market Foundation, and Cornerstone Policy Research.

We will be announcing more groups joining the boycott in the near future.

For more information on the boycott, click here.

To join nearly 350,000 individuals who have already signed the on-line petition supporting the boycott, click here. In addition, many more thousands have signed the hard copy of the petition.

American Family Association is asking individuals to:

2. I was going to stop using crest
Only because Emily Proctor has a new colgate commercial. But I guess I will hold off on that for a while to support P & G.

8. They backed a Cincinnati initiative
to repeal an amendment that forbade enforcement of discrimination laws based on sexual orientation. In other words, if you got fired or were denied a seat at a restaurant because you were gay, tough toenails.

Of course, it's made the Fundies spazz. They're also accusing P&G of supporting gay marriage, which the company denies.

6. P&G is actually a really nasty, right wing run, animal abusing, pollution
inducing company. I find it hillarious that they are boycotting P&G of all companies.

24. It would seem that way...
...apparently, extreme right-wingnuts get their news from TV commercials, while liberals prefer to get their news from zines and newspapers.

16. Sounds like there's a few reasons to buy their products.
Could be a backhanded attempt to market to liberals. Genius. Get the scowling church lady crowd to boycott-- and watch sales in Blue States skyrocket!

P&G Comes Out of the Closet –
Now Pushing Homoxexual Agenda on Prime Time TV

Procter & Gamble, maker of Crest®, Tide® and Pampers®, is the leading sponsor of two TV programs that continually push the homosexual agenda.

The sitcom Will & Grace regularly promotes homosexuality and explicit sex-talk with jokes about male and female genitalia, masturbation, oral sex ... and even anal sex. The series' two male stars are both homosexual. From the beginning, the series has been about nothing but sex.

Will & Grace is the program that showed two men passionately kissing each other.

According to Broadcasting & Cable Online magazine, P&G was the top sponsor of Will & Grace between September 2003 and February 2004. P&G spent an astonishing $8.2 million in sponsorship of this program promoting the homosexual agenda.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy depicts five homosexual men remaking the "cluttered, straight men of the world" so that they look, dress and act in the manner of the "cool" and, by implication, superior "gay" community. The program consistently seeks to validate and glorify the homosexual lifestyle.

Between September 2003 and February 2004, P&G spent $2,000,000 in sponsorship of this program promoting the homosexual agenda.

Remember that P&G pulled all their advertising support from Dr. Laura's program after a complaint from the homosexual community. P&G will support programs that are pro-homosexual, but refuse to support programs that tell the truth about homosexuality!

Procter & Gamble has become a leading advocate for the homosexual lifestyle. For more information on P&G's promotion of homosexuality, click here. Please support the boycott of P&G, and ask others to do so.

American Family Association is asking individuals to:

1. Boycott three products of P&G — Crest® toothpaste, Tide® detergent, and Pampers® diapers. (Some are boycotting all P&G products, which we encourage. To print out a list of P&G products, click here.)

Wow. And here, all along I thought the problem with "Will & Grace" was just that it is insipid crap... But-- see! I knew it! "Queer Eye" is making people gay!. It's "Cool"! All the kids are doing it!

Anyway, what do you mean, "in Christ"? ...That's disgusting.

Sicko.


And this:

http://www.afajournal.org/2004/nov-dec/11-1204cover.asp


A company that has built its empire on its family-friendly image has come “out of the closet” in support of a political campaign waged by homosexual activists.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) has been supportive of the homosexual movement for years. However, the company’s recent actions in Cincinnati, Ohio, which serves as its headquarters, has led AFA to call for a boycott of P&G.

In Cincinnati, homosexual activists are heading a drive to overturn the city’s Article 12, a measure passed 11 years ago which prohibits granting special rights for homosexuals. That law passed by an overwhelming 62%-38% margin.

It appears that P&G is determined to help activists accomplish their goal. The company recently wrote to their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the repeal of Article 12. P&G has also donated $40,000 toward that goal.

Citizens to Restore Fairness, the group pushing for special rights for homosexuals, is chaired by Gary Wright, an employee of P&G who was given a leave of absence to head the campaign. Wright is a leader of P&G’s corporate homosexual group GABLE/P&G.

AFA founder Don Wildmon said P&G’s open support of a homosexual political cause is unique. “Procter & Gamble, to my knowledge, is the first corporation in this country that has given money for a political campaign pushing the homosexual political agenda,” he said.

What has been most disappointing to pro-family groups, however, is that P&G has defended its recent activism in language that is insulting to Christians and other supporters of traditional marriage.

In a press release, P&G said: “Article 12 is the only law of its kind in the United States that allows discrimination against a specific group of people, a distinction that makes the city of Cincinnati out of step with doing what’s right.”

However, the truth is that Article 12 was passed in response to an earlier law which granted special rights on the basis of sexual orientation. The people of Cincinnati simply did not want homosexuals enshrined as a group with special privileges.

In this regard, Cincinnati is in line with most cities across the nation. Out of more than 19,000 municipalities in the U.S., only 127 have laws covering the private sector which grant special protections to homosexuals.

So, are the 62% of Cincinnati voters who passed Article 12 really “out of step” and wrong, as P&G says? Not according to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. When homosexual activists challenged the constitutionality of Article 12, the court said the Cincinnati law was fine because homosexuals were not a legally defined minority. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of the 6th Circuit decision.

Beyond the matter of Article 12, however, is the issue of same-sex marriage. In a letter sent to all their employees concerning the company’s efforts to repeal Article 12, P&G explained: “We value differences and will not tolerate discrimination in any form, against anyone, for any reason.”

That’s the sort of language homosexual activists have used to justify the legalization of same-sex marriage. They claim, for example, that it is discrimination to allow only heterosexual couples to marry. If P&G truly holds to its own policy to not discriminate “in any form … for any reason,” does the company support homosexual marriage?

A second controversy in the Buckeye state is over the Ohio Marriage Protection Amendment, which defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. Even though pro-family groups have been drumming up support for the Amendment, P&G has stayed on the sidelines. The company has refused to publicly support the measure or donate to the cause.

As a result of P&G’s political involvement on behalf of the homosexual agenda, AFA has called for a boycott of three of its most popular brands: Crest toothpaste, Tide laundry detergent, and Pampers diapers.

AFA has also created a Web site (www.pgboycott.com) to encourage people nationwide to join the boycott effort.

P&G’s track record on ‘gay’ agenda makes it a worthy boycott target
Procter & Gamble (P&G) has been openly supportive of the homosexual agenda for years. Below is a short list of examples of that support. (For this information and more, visit www.pgboycott.com.) The company:

• Created and ran an ad that showed two men in bed after an apparent sexual encounter. (See at right.) The ad leaves the impression that homosexual sex is normal, thrilling and exciting, and was run in a homosexual publication called Xtra.

• Actively seeks out homosexual employees. Its company logo and corporate contact information appear on the top homosexual job recruiting site in America.

• Forces employees to attend a diversity training program, regardless of their moral or religious views. One P&G employee wrote to AFA: “I’m a P&G employee …. I had to go to the captive audience Diversity class. The movie on homosexuals was very offensive to Christians. It showed a man in a collar (Catholic priest?) saying ‘there is nothing in the Bible which says that homosexuality is wrong.’”

• Regularly supports pro-homosexual media with advertising. According to the Internet news site www.365Gay.com, “Procter & Gamble has been a long time supporter of the gay community. It has one of the strongest workplace equality policies among American companies and is a frequent advertiser in the LGBT media, including 365Gay.com.”

• Dropped advertising support for television talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger because of her politically incorrect view that homosexuality is wrong. This was done at the request of homosexual activist groups.

• Is a major corporate sponsor of the annual Cincinnati Pride (homosexual) event celebrating that lifestyle.

• Includes domestic partner benefits for same-sex partners in its benefits program. P&G was named by PlanetOut as a top 20 company to work for based on their pro-homosexual support and benefits.

• Sponsors the annual “Out & Equal Workplace Advocates” workplace summit. Out & Equal is a homosexual advocacy organization promoting homosexuality in major companies.

18. my reply:
Dear :

Thank you for aprising me of the fact that P&G is a bastion of equality and tolerance.

Thanks to your email, I will be sure to buy their products whenever possible and will encourage my friends and family to do the same.

It is always wonderful to find out that there are still a few companies in America that stand for American values..tolerance, acceptance and welcome to all in need.

Once again, I wanted to reiterate how grateful I am that you made me aware of P&G's wonderful example of true American and Christian values.

Sincerely:

ME

22. Gay rights "promote homosexuality?"
I suppose the civil rights movement "promoted" being black. And all those blaxplotation movies made blacks "cooler" and hence "superior." Why, there was a time when over half of all American kids became black just because it was so cool! I went through a black phase too, actually. Yep. Sophomore year in college--I practically had to become black just to fit in. Because, just like homosexuality, it really is something you can choose.

Jesus, these people are idiots.

23. Yeah, I too went through a black phase in college.
I experimented with being black, before settling down.
All the kids were doing it.
