Companies Supporting the "Gay" Agenda: Tell them what you think

DO THEY DESERVE YOUR HARD-EARNED DOLLARS?

Below is contact information for some of the companies listed on the "Corporate Equality Index" of the homosexual pressure group, the Human Rights Campaign.

You and I know that "gay rights" has gone far beyond any semblance of compassion and tolerance. There's no equality in its current aggressive, discriminatory actions, which are dragging our culture into a cesspool, corrupting children, trying to force a redefinition of marriage on everyone in America and threatening religious freedom.

They are also transforming some American businesses into rigid, truth-free zones where the typical employee walks on eggshells in deference to new codes of politically correct speech and thought. When an employee is encouraged to be openly homosexual in a workplace culture, it's not an issue of "fairness," but one where the employer has chosen to side with immoral, unnecessary and sometimes bizarre behavior. America needs companies that side with high standards where common sense is still respected.

The "rights" of the empowered homosexual quite often mean a violation of the rights of co-workers to even civilly express a distaste for homosexual conduct. Punitive lawsuits and even loss of employment have already been among the "penalties" for holding traditional moral values. This is not fair, it's not "social justice," and it's contributing to the disintegration of workplace productivity and cohesiveness.

Companies that foolishly support this behavior do not deserve the hard-earned dollars of American families who simply want to live their lives, raise their children and be rewarded in the workplace for their skills and initiative --not for accepting deviance. Men who dress as women are to be called by the "female" names they choose and at times, authentically female employees are forced to share restrooms with these confused people. How did businesses get here?

The only thing that will halt such nonsense is you and me, as we take the purchasing power of our dollars elsewhere.

The companies below are, as we post this, among those earning "100%" on the Human Rights Campaign's pro-homosexual index. Do they deserve the business of American people of faith? Not at present. Perhaps they will change. Let's hope they come to their senses.

Don't forget to check out our sample letter to send these companies by email or snail mail, or give them a call to tell them why you don't support their pro-homosexual policies. And keep in mind that to send an email, often you must do so from the corporate web site itself, so we have provided these for you below.

And as we mentioned above, these are only some of the offending companies. For the full list, go to the "Corporate Equality Index" of the homosexual pressure group, the Human Rights Campaign, and look under "Appendix A" and "Appendix B."
