			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The following was published by <a href="http://www.afa.net">American Family Association</a> founder and chairman <strong>Donald Wildmon</strong>. Congratulations to AFA for holding Ford accountable through determined grassroots action. Ford executives&#8217; willingness to alienate millions upon millions of pro-family consumers to pander to a tiny, vocal homosexual minority was a marketing mishap from the beginning:</em></p>
<p>Don Wildmon writes:</p>
<p>I have some good news for you! AFA is suspending its two year boycott of Ford Motor Company. The conditions of the original agreement presented in fall 2005 have been met. We reached the conclusion that Ford had met the conditions of the agreement based on monitoring for several months. Individuals are free to purchase Ford vehicles again.</p>
<p>Your support of the boycott played a key role in convincing Ford to cease its significant support of the homosexual agenda. During the 24 months the boycott was in effect, Ford sales dropped an average of 8% per month. The boycott was not entirely responsible for the drop in sales, but it played a very significant role.</p>
<p>A total of 780,365 individuals signed AFA&#8217;s Boycott Ford petition.</p>
<p>The original agreement contained four items:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ford would not renew current promotions or create future incentives that give cash donations to homosexual organizations based on the purchase of a vehicle.</li>
<li>Ford would not make corporate donations to homosexual organizations that, as part of their activities, engage in political or social campaigns to promote civil unions or same-sex &#8220;marriage.&#8221;</li>
<li>Ford would stop giving cash and vehicle donations or endorsements to homosexual social activities such as Gay Pride parades.</li>
<li>Ford would cease all advertising on homosexual Web sites and through homosexual media outlets (magazines, television, radio) in the U.S. with the exception of $100,000 to be used by Volvo. The Volvo ads would be the same ads used in the general media and not aimed at the homosexual community specifically.</li>
</ul>
<p>A few minor issues remain, and we will continue to bring these to the attention of Ford. But basically Ford has met the terms of the agreement. We are therefore suspending the boycott.<br />
Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution? <a href="https://donate.afa.net/default.aspx?ask=ford_031008">Click here to make a donation [to AFA]</a>.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p><strong>Donald E. Wildmon</strong>, Founder and Chairman American Family Association</p>

Ford recently gave $10,000 to become a sponsor of the 2007 Out and Equal Workplace Summit to be held in Washington, DC, Sept. 27-29, according to AFA.</p>
<p>You might be interested in understanding the philosophy and politics of this woman who is pressing for radical change in employer-paid benefits <strong>&#8211; especially if you happen to be a corporate executive or a human resources director dealing with the Out &amp; Equal agenda in your company. Consider whether your employees and customers share Amy Andre&#8217;s perspective&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-1382"></span>Amy Andre is one of four co-authors credited with authoring the report entitled <strong>&#8220;<a href="http://thetaskforce.org/press/releases/prBI_031407">bisexual health</a>,&#8221;</strong> published Mar 13, 2007, by the <strong>Task Force</strong>. Here are a few quotes excerpted from <strong><a href="http://www.amyandre.com/">Amy Andre&#8217;s own website</a></strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>My mission in life, and the goal of this website, is to encourage the safe exploration of pleasure and create political change. Are these two separate things? I think they&#8217;re one and the same.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>My philosophy on pleasure is that consenting adults should be able to engage in whatever activities they desire to do safely with one another.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>But, whether you find pleasure in watching – or making – pornography, taking a sex ed class in college, being able to express a sexual minority identity, or having hot safe sex with your lover(s), in reality, going for any of these is a <a href="http://amyandre.com/journal/2005/08/pleasure-politics-go-welcome-to-the-launch-of-my-web-journal/">political act.</a></p></blockquote>
<p>(It&#8217;s interesting that Andre emphasizes safety &#8212; three times in three paragraphs &#8212; because it&#8217;s easy to demonstrate that homosexuality is NOT safe physically, emotionally, or spiritually.)</p>
<p align="center"><strong><font color="#ff0000">WARNING: SOME READERS MAY FIND THE REMAINDER OF THIS POST HIGHLY OFFENSIVE.</font></strong></p>
<p>Speaking of dangers, Amy Andre not only approves of pornography, she has participated in its creation with her homosexual &#8220;partner,&#8221; <a href="http://altcinema.com/kami/">Kami Chisholm</a>:</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.altcinema.com/desire.html">Seven Questions About Desire</a></strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>How much can two lovers discover about their desire for each other in one single-shot film? In this documentary, director Kami Chisholm turns the camera on her lover, Amy, during a romantic weekend getaway. Initially, Kami steers Amy through a series of questions about the couple’s past adventures in kink and pleasure. <strong>Later, when Kami and Amy decide to go beyond just talking about sex, the camera keeps rolling from its perch on the bedside table. </strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Unedited and unscripted, this documentary is an intimate and explosive look at one relationship. One part interview, <strong>one part exhibition,</strong> Seven Questions is a boundary-pushing film.</p></blockquote>
<p>In the clip available online, Kami Chisholm is heard from behind the camera saying that she wants the world to see how Amy Andre&#8217;s face looks when she climaxes.</p>
<p>Andre also runs a sex advice website &#8212; two, actually: one for readers over 18 (categories include fisting, polyamory, porn, etc.) and one for readers under 18 &#8212; which is supported by &#8220;sexy businesses and people like Nerve.com, Madison Bound, WhippedAss.com, ButtMachineBoys.com, the New School of Erotic Touch, and Babeland.com<img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=LT2RvSZNwPQ&amp;bids=85515.10000013&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0" border="0" height="1" width="1" />.&#8221; <strong>(We urge you NOT to view these perverted websites.)</strong></p>
<p>Amy Andre is within her &#8220;rights&#8221; to engage in all these activities &#8212; and American executives and human resource managers are well within their rights also to evaluate her philosophy and politics and contrast it to that of the majority of their employees and customers.</p>

<p>(2) Start an &#8220;employee resource group&#8221; <strong>&#8211; <em>This employee group will be used to pressure the company to complete the remaining steps.</em></strong></p>
<p>(3) Offer domestic partner benefits <strong><em>&#8211; O&#038;E supports domestic partner benefits for cohabitating heterosexuals as well as homosexual partners.</em></strong></p>
<p>(4) Include &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221; in your company&#8217;s EEO policy <em><strong>&#8211; Such a policy would prevent the company from &#8220;discriminating against&#8221; homosexuals or bisexuals.</strong></em></p>
<p>(5) Include &#8220;gender identity and expression&#8221; in your company&#8217;s EEO policy <em><strong>&#8211; This policy would prevent an employer from &#8220;discriminating against&#8221; a transvestite (cross-dresser) or transsexual (who might be considering a &#8220;sex change&#8221; operation or might be partially or completely &#8220;transitioned&#8221;), even if this situation creates a problem with clients. (For example, these policies have been used to ensure that a teacher who cross-dresses or proceeds with a &#8220;sex-change&#8221; operation cannot be fired. Instead, children are expected to understand and cope with this outrageous situation.)</strong></em></p>
<p>(6) Include LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] workplace diversity training <em><strong>&#8211; &#8220;Knowing someone who is LGBT changes attitudes&#8221; so O&#038;E recommends having the trainer or another employee &#8220;come out&#8221; during the session &#8212; a manipulative tactic.</strong></em></p>
<p>(7) Support the LGBT community through corporate giving <strong><em>&#8211; Although homosexual activists generally express disdain for corporate America, executives are urged to contribute money to promote the normalization of homosexuality.</em></strong></p>
<p>(8) Recruit and develop LGBT employees</p>
<p>(9) Market to the LGBT community</p>
<p>(10) Create LGBT-specific advertising</p>
<p>(11) Provide LGBT leadership development opportunities</p>
<p>(12) Develop spousal equivalent policies for LGBT employees <em><strong>&#8211; See below &#8212; this one is very important.</strong></em></p>
<p>(13) Include LGBT-owned businesses in your supplier diversity program <em>&#8211; O&#038;E recommends the National Gay &#038; Lesbian Chamber of Commerce&#8217;s certification program. <strong>This policy results in business moving from family-oriented companies to pro-homosexual companies.</strong> (Case in point: Wal-Mart.) </em></p>
<p>(14) Promote an LGBT-friendly corporate culture</p>
<p>(15) Share best practices around LGBT workplace issues</p>
<p>Out &#038; Equal convinces companies that homosexuals comprise both a vital source of talent and a uniquely attractive target market segment. Using data from Witeck-Combs, a pro-homosexual firm, O&#038;E suggests that homosexuals comprise 6 to 7 percent of the population. <strong>(Their number far exceeds more scientific estimates that put the figure at 1-3 percent.)</strong></p>
<p>Using their inflated numbers, O&#038;E says the 14 to 16 million homosexuals will spend about $640 billion in 2006. They report that homosexuals are twice as likely to be professionals or managers, are early adopters of new technologies, are brand loyal, and have a higher discretionary income. That enticement, along with a little &#8220;social justice&#8221; guilt, deceives companies into implementing O&#038;E recommended policies.</p>
<div align="center">
<blockquote><p><strong>These policies, however, come with an enormous financial cost.</strong></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>First, a corporation would incur additional expense to fund &#8220;domestic partner&#8221; benefits. Most corporations contribute a substantial portion toward the cost of an employee&#8217;s personal health care and some toward the cost of coverage for an employee plus spouse or employee plus spouse/children. O&#038;E recommends that an employer make that same contribution for those who are <strong>not</strong> married &#8212; for instance, a live-in boyfriend/girlfriend or a homosexual partner.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#cc3300">Homosexual &#8220;Spousal Supremacy&#8221;?</font></strong><br />
Next, Out &#038; Equal&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;spousal equivalency policy&#8221;</strong> would require the employer to compensate the homosexual employee for the absence of tax exemption on homosexual partner and children health insurance costs. An employee normally makes a contribution, deducted from his paycheck, toward the cost of his health care coverage. For a married man, that expense is paid with pre-tax or tax-exempt dollars. Because there is no federal recognition of &#8220;gay marriage,&#8221; although a homosexual may receive domestic partner benefits, his contribution is paid with taxable dollars.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>In the example Ms. Andre used </strong>(and she did note that the figures would vary according to each unique circumstance)<strong>, she estimated that the employer would need to pay a homosexual employee with a partner <font color="#cc3300">$3787.20/year extra</font> to compensate for the different tax status; that figure would soar to <font color="#cc3300">$7006.32/year</font> for a homosexual with a partner and children. The net effect of this concept would be to pay a homosexual with a &#8220;partner&#8221; thousands of dollars more than a married heterosexual.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>And add to that the cost of employee time spent networking, calling or e-mailing, meeting to focus on their &#8220;victim&#8221; status, lobbying HR/management, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Executives would do well to examine <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/issues/corporate-promotion/corporations/food-beverage-household-brands/eastman-kodak/">Eastman Kodak</a>, <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/issues/corporate-promotion/corporations/automotive/ford/">Ford</a>, and <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/issues/corporate-promotion/corporations/retail/wal-mart/">Wal-Mart</a> as case studies and to note the negative effect of capitulating to GLBT demands &#8212; on corporate revenue, volume, and stock price.</strong></p>
<p>Or they could simply heed the words of one (white, female) activist in a separate Task Force Creating Change session, who expressed disdain for American corporations and said:</p>
<blockquote>
<div align="center">
<p align="center"><strong><font size="3">&#8220;&#8230;I am happy to take the white man&#8217;s money<br />
and use it to subvert [everything he stands for].&#8221;</font></strong></div>
</blockquote>
<p>Out &#038; Equal&#8217;s <a href="http://www.outandequal.org/summit/2007/OutEqual-2007Summit.asp"><strong>2007 Workplace Summit</strong></a> will be held September 27-29 at the Hilton in Washington, D.C. Human Resource executives would do well to take their calculators along.</p>
