For those who want to watch such things,
AFA also recently pulled their deposits from Wells Fargo Bank after the bank met their demands with a hearty "bite me." According to today's Chronicles the AFA's vice president said they moved their money to First National Bank of Omaha and "[f]rom our disucssions with their executives, we were satisfied that they would not do what Wells Fargo did." What Wells Fargo did was give $50,000 to GLAAD. So it looks like another case where AFA met with a company's executive and reached an agreement to deny money to third parties. You might also want to watch and see if FNBO continues its support of Youth Emergency Services in Omaha which provides assistance to troubles teens, including programs for gay youths.
I don't know if what the AFA did is illegal and I don't think it should be illegal even if they did what iSm says would be illegal. But more power to you if you can convince Ford to change their mind.
