Ford Stop Supporting Homosexual Agenda Dr. Michael Ford 13 August 2006 When the American Family Association, among others, asked subscribers to contact Ford dealerships and let them know they did not approve Ford’s usage of corporate funds I was happy to participate. As a matter of fact I informed them I would soon be buying a new truck and it would not be a Ford. This is the absolute truth because I have recently lost my work truck, a Ford Ranger, and my transportation truck, a Sonoma. I was telling the people the truth. But one dealership manager apparently was not concerned with possible loss of my business. He huffily informed me I was wasting my time communicating with him. He said he had no influence with Ford Motor Corporation. Well, maybe his sales are so bad he does not. But I understand 78 dealers think they have influence because they have asked Ford to stop supporting the homosexual agenda. One night I was sitting with my wife watching Bill Ford promoting the Ford line of vehicles. I remarked to her Ford sales has been consistently dropping since the public became aware of what they were doing with their income. She told me Mr. Ford looked rather delicate for a robust type of man and wondered if the policy might exist because he was a homosexual? I answered that I do not know anything about the man, but that line of Fords, beginning with Henry has always seemed to me a bit socially dysfunctional. So who knows? Clearly, they have either no knowledge or concern for God’s opinion of the perversion. Ford sales have consistently dropped since AFA began the boycott. The drop in March was 5%, April 7%, May 2%, June 6.8%, and July 4.1%. We were informed awhile back Ford was ceasing advertising in homosexual publications. But, apparently they went back on that promise to support “unisex marriage” in two sodomite publications: The Advocate and OUT. Also, Ford is listed by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (known as PFLAG) as being a "Topaz" sponsor. I don’t know how much it costs to have that status, but any money given to perversion would be too much. I read a disclaimer declaring Ford said they had never agreed to stop advertising with perverts, but Christian action groups are not in the habit of informing their readers everything is alright without a good basis. So somebody lied awhile back and faced with a choice between who I believe, the American Family Association or Ford corporate, I am quicker to trust the AFA. Some companies try to straddle the fence in many of their actions. For instance, most big companies give to both political parties, bestowing just a bit more on the group they most agree with. Ford has seemingly made a clear decision on the side of homosexuality. They were approached by Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays (PFOX), an organization helping homosexuals come out of the homosexual lifestyle for a grant. Ford refused them. The AFA reports they have not given any support to any organization working with former homosexuals. Ford claims a commitment to diversity, which evidently includes only pro-homosexual organizations. It seems sort of sterile to speak about Ford’s support for homosexual magazines. I had read about their content which reported both pictorial content to be offensive and article titles to be unfit for repetition in polite company. But in fairness I decided to research them a bit on the Internet. My opinion was I did not want to dig any deeper than a peripheral survey. That was enough. The Detroit Free Press, bought by Gannett in August 2005, reports Ford "donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to homosexual groups, sponsors gay pride parades, and holds mandatory diversity training..." Several years ago a preacher friend showed me some video taken at a “Gay Pride parade” and it was positively obscene. I am shocked Ford would support such things, but the video I was shown back then had a Congresswoman riding in the parade, which shows some people have no shame. Doesn’t Ford Motor Company have the right to put its corporate profits where it wants to? The easy answer is yes, and Christians have the right to not contribute to their profits. But the answer is not quite that simple. You see, many financial consultants believe Ford is headed for bankruptcy, and the decision to support homosexuals is hastening the process. What about Ford’s responsibility to its employees and their families past and present? Over 20 pro-family groups have called for a boycott of Ford and their sales have continued to fall. But we understand Ford is working to hire more homosexuals. Perhaps they think that market can keep them solvent. I, for one, doubt it. <”>< |
