The American Family Association (AFA), a fundamentalist Christian hate group, is leading a
boycott of Ford Motor Company by 18 Christian organizations. The AFA canceled a threatened boycott of the auto giant in December claiming that
Ford had agreed it would no longer advertise in gay media.
After word of the alleged secret agreement got out, gay community leaders met with Ford representatives and the automaker found itself at the center of what some are calling a culture war.
Ford eventually re-affirmed it's commitment to the gay community and once again began advertising in gay media outlets for all of its brands.
Now it seems the AFA is once again up in arms over Ford's focus on inclusion, diversity, and marketing to the gay community (this is business after all) and asking people to pledge to boycott Ford and contact their local dealers. This time Ford has quickly with a spokesperson stating, "Ford is proud of its tradition of treating all with respect and we remain focused on that we do best, building and selling innovative cars and trucks worldwide."
How can such a hateful group call themselves "American Family"? I'm so glad I'm not part of that family!
