Ford pulls LR/Jag GLBT support due to American Family threat

[innerSpaceman]

Where is the leaked memo of this purported deal? I will not accept from members of this board (and will rarely even accept from journalists) the claim that there's an unnamed insider source whose identity must be shielded.

I drive a Ford Explorer, and I've got my own reasons for never again buying a Ford vehicle. In any event, I consider an organized boycott to be an absurd endeavor ... whether it's urged by American Family or by gay Americans.

What in the world does this mean? Gay-specific car ads? (zapppop's gayday shirt slogan "Pumped and Injected" comes to mind, but nothing else.)

I confess I've never seen a car ad in a gay-magazine. I'm one of those traitorous homosexuals who has the gaul to read the same magazines, watch the same tv, and post on the same message boards as other Americans do - with no regard to coloring every aspect of my life with gay, just because I like to have sex with men.

Frankly, I find it insulting that there ever were gay-specific car ads, and I am relieved if anything of the sort is being discontinued.
