Just as fast as the American Family Association (AFA) stopped
boycotting Ford Motor Company for its support of gay groups and media (see
here), the manufacturer has announced it will be pulling
its advertisements from gay publications.
The news has spread across the press like a flame. Autoblog had reported the news earlier in the
week. No specific information had been available at that
time. Now the AFA is announcing its victory with its meeting with Ford while the company explains pulling the ads is
part of its restructuring efforts to cut costs.
It’ll be interesting to see the reaction of the other manufacturers, many of whom market to minority groups.
