The AFA Boycott on the Ford Motor Company

This is direclty from an AFA Action Alert which states,

Ford has long supported the homosexual magazine, The Advocate. Now, Ford has expanded their promotion of homosexual publications by supporting the homosexual publication Out through advertising.

Wal-Mart recently announced they would no longer support or oppose controversial issues. Ford originally made a similar pledge to AFA but reneged when a small group of homosexual leaders demanded retraction, despite the fact that not a single homosexual group has publicly supported Ford.

Ford was a sponsor of a recent episode of CBS's program "Two and a Half Men" in which actor Charlie Sheen's character mocked Christ, Christmas and Christians by singing a sordid sex song to the tune of "Joy To The World."

During the recent elections, Ford pointed their employees to a radical left wing online voter guide for information on how to vote. The website that contained the guide urged votes against constitutional amendments banning homosexual marriage, for stem cell research in Missouri and against an amendment banning abortion in South Dakota.


AFA claims the boycott of Ford Motor Company is beginning to take effect. As included with the alert,

In November, Ford sales were down 9.7%. General Motors showed a 6.1% increase during the same month while Chrysler sales were up 4.7%. In seven of the nine months since AFA began the boycott, because of the motor company's support for the homosexual agenda - including homosexual marriage, Ford's sales have gone down compared to a year ago.


Whether or not these negative effects are the result of AFA's boycott could be debatable, but Ford's apparent romance with gay rights is evident.

How does something like this impact the workers? If you are a Ford employee and disagree with its political ties to gay rights, how does this affect your morale and productivity?" Does it make a company more or less profitable and is it adventageous for the company?

These are significant concerns that should be evaluated.
