The American Family Association, a right-wing, staunchly anti-gay organization, published the following on their web site, along with a petition to Proctor and Gamble that we certainly did not sign.
“Procter & Gamble, makers of Crest toothpaste and Tide detergent, has publicly thrown their support and money behind the homosexual political agenda. The company recently wrote to all their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the overturning of a city law which forbids giving special rights to homosexuals. In 1993, the citizens in Cincinnati refused to give special rights to homosexuals by a vote of 62% to 38%. P&G is now working to get that law repealed. The company has given $10,000 to help repeal the law.
To our knowledge, Procter & Gamble is the first company to support the political agenda of the homosexual movement. (Editors’ note: …not counting the 50% of Fortune 500 companies who give health benefits to same-sex partners!) While not explicitly saying so, in their public announcement supporting the repeal, P&G clearly showed their support for homosexual marriage. P&G said they “will not tolerate discrimination [against homosexuals] in any form, against anyone, for any reason.” To keep homosexuals from being legally married is discrimination for good reason, which P&G says they will not tolerate. Taking them at their word, P&G supports homosexual marriage.
American Family Association is asking pro-family groups and individuals to:
(1) Boycott two products of P&G - Crest toothpaste and Tide detergent. (Make sure your replacement is not a P&G product.)
(2) Call Chairman A.G. Lafley at 513-983-1100 and politely let him know that you are participating in the boycott and will ask others to do the same.
(3) Please register your support for the boycott in the form above.
(4) Please forward this to your friends and family.
(5) Print out this page and distribute at Sunday School, church, etc.”We hope that Herland Voice readers will please consider a counter-boycott and if you are not now using them, switch to Crest and Tide for the forseeable future. Also, consider calling Chairman Lafley and letting him know that you support the position of P&G and are appreciative.
And if you like, print out this page and take it to the Church of the Open Arms, First Unitarian Church, Mayflower Congregational, Epworth United Methodist Church, or Sisters, Partners, wherever you go on a Sunday to have fellowship with others.
