Y'know, if the likes of GM pay attention to these kinds of sites in order to gauge how they should design future cars, someone should draw the attention of the AFA right here to show them just how sick, sore and tired everyone is of hearing them harp on about issues that most people disagree with, or simply don't care about.]]>Mar 14th 2006 8:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/
So, you AFA bigots, I have a question. It's OK to support your cause but not anyone else?

For those who are in the AFA, this is a business, white, black, purple, green whatever color you want can buy the product and Ford just like any other company has the right (yes, right) to market and support any group they wish, this also includes gay, non gay, anyone of whatever nationality they damn well choose.

You have the right to make complete fools of yourself, sue whoever you want and lose.

And here in America it's my right to say:

So take your creepy "moral values" and shove them right up you homhophobic (as this is a car site)exhaust port.

And no, I'm not gay, but I have a very good friend who is, he and his partner have been together for 29 years (longer than the average "normal" marriage) They have raised over 20 foster children (none of who turned gay) that a lot of so called "normal" people just abused, abandoned, and left. These two guys get my respect and reperesent a family much better than the AFA is.

And if anyone from Ford is reading this, give em hell and good for you.]]>Mar 14th 2006 8:27AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/Mar 14th 2006 9:01AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/
Heck, if I saw these AFA folks running around in my yard, I'd shoot them on sight.]]>Mar 14th 2006 9:03AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/Now you who have no idea of what Christianity is and have been indoctrinated by the politically correct public school systems and the left leaning media....blog away..

I will disagree with Philip on one thing he said though. The traditional view of what a family is is NOT subjective. The CURRENT view of what a “traditional” family is might be subjective now. There’s a big difference in those two statements.

Bottom line is the AFA is not taking issue with Ford over the opinion of what a family is, whether gays are nice people or not or even if homosexuality is moral or not…their issue is the financial support of fringe groups with a political purpose that just happens to be a view contrary to theirs. I hope most don’t mind being kept clear on the facts but I realize some of you would rather rant on in ignorance.

I have no idea what it's like to be Christian? On the contrary. I live in a Christian-dominated country, where Christians, the supreme upholders of moral values, took children away from their families, placed them in industrial schools and physically and sexually assaulted a great number of them. This is nothing to do with leftist-media wrangling (and, frankly, anyone who considers the American media to be "leftist" needs to get their head examined). The evidence is there for all to see, and has gone to governmental tribunal. So that takes away their right to lecture me on family values, since they've little recognision of said values themselves. It's all hypocracy.

The fact the Christian groups have the gaul to speak for everyone like this is astounding. The fact they consider the gay lifestyle "a sin" sounds a lot like fear to me. And, if I may be a pedant for a moment, a "-phobia" also refers to an aversion, not just a "natural fear", so that argument still doesn't hold much water.

They can help save people from sin all they want. I'd rather give them my permission before they shoved their opinions down my throat though.]]>Mar 14th 2006 9:18AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/
And traditions change. That's what I mean about it being subjective.

I appreciate the fact that you're trying to see things from how the AFA say it should be seen, but if you're to delve deeper, then we have to ask ourselves: if it was a non-gay movement that Ford were supporting, would they take issue? If it were a racial minority, as someone mentioned, would they take issue? It's more acceptable to launch an attack upon Ford for supporting the gay community because some quarters still see it as acceptable. It's na? to think the AFA don't have another agenda beneath all this.

To Whatever: you've spoken so much nonsense that you almost sound like a closet case yourself. If you're not gay, then how can you know that the claim a lot of gay people make, that they are "born gay" is a lie? And just what "behaviour" are you speaking of that's so wrong? What is wrong with promiscuity? You know, gay people would be happy to marry eachother, thus neglecting the need for "promiscuity", but conservative groups won't let them. You know, you can't have it both ways. You need to educate yourself a bit more on how the gay community works, and how the average gay person is no more promiscuous than a good, god-fearing, law abiding Christian. A person's sexuality does not make them more or less promiscuous. The fact that what you deem acceptable for one group is unacceptable for another does.]]>Mar 14th 2006 9:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/
We considered Honda and Toyota vehicles, but like our Volvo and Mazdas better. The fact that parent company Ford has a spine to stand up to these disgusting people reenforces these decisions.

That is fighting back with my dollars.
And yes, we came very close to buying an Acura, and one of the strongest points against the Acura was Honda Motor Company's refusal to stand up for equal human rights.]]>Mar 14th 2006 9:33AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/Mar 14th 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/14/19-groups-to-renew-boycott-against-ford-over-gay-marketing-effor/
And just a side note Philip…when a tradition changes…what replaces it does not immediately become a “tradition”. Traditions are the result of many years of consistency. The latest fad, no matter how admirable, is not a tradition…not yet anyway.]]>Mar 14th 2006 9:56AM
