AFA boycott launched against Ford Motor Company

(Tupelo, MS) - American Family Association (AFA) has launched a boycott of Ford Motor Company because of Ford’s support for the homosexual marriage movement. Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of AFA, said that the organization has emailed an announcement of the boycott to their more than 2.2 million online supporters.

“From redefining family to include homosexual marriage, to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to support homosexual groups and their agenda, to forcing managers to attend diversity training on how to promote the acceptance of homosexuality, to sponsoring a ‘commitment (marriage) ceremony,’ to sponsoring Gay Pride Parades, Ford leads the way,” Wildmon said.

AFA has developed a BoycottFord.com Internet home page to promote the boycott.

Wildmon said that there was so much material showing Ford’s track record on promoting the homosexual agenda that AFA decided it best simply to put it on a home page on the Internet.

“The material on BoycottFord.com leaves no doubt where Ford stands on the homosexual issue,” Wildmon stated.

American Family Association is a pro-family advocacy organization with over two million online supporters.
