Homosexual Activists Rate Corporations
Family Issues in Policy and Culture ^ | August 27, 2003 | Stuart Shepard

Posted on 8/27/2003, 9:17:48 PM by Vindiciae Contra TyrannoSCOTUS

American businesses continue to march in lock step with homosexual ideals.

America's top corporations continue to take on policies pleasing to homosexual activists. A new ranking shows more companies than ever are rewriting employee manuals to include gay ideals.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation found that two out of every of three companies on the Fortune 500 list of America's top corporations now specifically protect sexual orientation in their employee codes. The group rated companies on seven criteria, such as offering domestic-partner benefits or diversity training. More than 20 companies scored a perfect 100, representing a 91 percent increase over last year's ratings.

Mike Haley, who heads the gender issues department at Focus on the Family, noted that more than 70 percent of the companies surveyed now advertise to the gay community.

"The gay issue is one that's not going away," Haley said. "We see it in the media, we see it in the military, we see it all throughout every walk of life. When you see major organizations and companies throughout our country endorsing this, what child who's struggling with gender-identity formation isn't going to see homosexuality as a potential positive option? That scares me."

Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, said corporations are not taking into account the human cost of homosexuality.

"There are epidemics raging among homosexuals, and yet (companies are) promoting the very behavior that's taking people's lives," Knight said.

In spite of the massive shift in policies, Buddy Smith with the American Family Association said Christians need to fight the fight.

"If anything," Smith said, "this report is a call to be more faithful to God and more faithful to being salt and light in our culture."

Among the companies scoring a perfect 100 for gay-friendliness: American Airlines, Apple Computer, Capital One, IBM, Intel and Levi Strauss & Co.. Last year, three companies scored a zero, this year not one company did.

There were, however, five companies who scored close to zero, refusing to bow to the homosexual agenda: Exxon Mobil Corp, whose shareholders have repeatedly voted down proposals to oppose discrimination against homosexuals; Domino's Inc; Aramark; Meijer, Inc. — a discount retail chain with stores in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky; and National Gypsum, a supplier of building and construction materials in North Carolina.

The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA, by Alan Sears and Craig Osten.

The second point to note is the consequences for a nation, or a people, who willfully to ignore and reject the judicial implications of this legislation. The exemplary condemnation by the Torah of the most serious crimes attacking the family are in fact a system of judicial protection of the integrity of that foundational institution of society. In this way society protects itself from its own inherent tendencies to self-destruction. What our text tells us is that if such crimes are tolerated by any society, if they are covered by the leniency of Law courts and, worse still, if they come to be legitimated by laws which institutionalize crime, the inevitable consequence will be the destruction of the nation itself. The Christian Confronted by Homosexuality

Homosexuality has become an increasingly prevalent part of modern society. It has infiltrated our schools, our news media, our entertainment media and may soon redefine our concept of marriage.
However, homosexuality is by its very nature dangerous to those who practice it. And society is doing homosexuals a disservice when it endorses and promotes homosexuality as normal. In doing so, it is encouraging these Americans to engage in self-destructive behavior.

Homosexuality is an issue of morality. But it is also an fundamental issue of public health. The evidence is clear. American government, educational systems, and courts should note the facts presented in this paper and advance public policy and curricula that encourage sound behavior rather than offering special protection and endorsement to a behavior that threatens individuals as well as public health.

The future of America hangs in the balance. If society is not willing to address the homosexual issue on moral grounds, then the medical evidence alone should be enough to convince the fair-minded that homosexuality is incompatible with good public health.SODOMY Health and Homosexuality

The prestigious Journal of the American Public Health Association has devoted a substantial portion of its latest edition (AJPH -- Table of Contents (June 1 2003, 93 [6]).) to the risks associated with homosexual practices.

JESUS DEFINES MARRIAGE: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6

It is very easy to forget what Judaism has wrought and what Christians have created in the West. But those who loathe this civilization never forget. The radical Stanford University faculty and students who recently chanted, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western civ has got to go," were referring to much more than their university's syllabus. And no one is chanting that song more forcefully than those who believe and advocate that sexual behavior doesn't play a role in building or eroding civilization. The acceptance of homosexuality as the equal of heterosexual marital love signifies the decline of Western civilization as surely as the rejection of homosexuality and other nonmarital sex made the creation of this civilization possible.Judaism's Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) ...

Nations most often fall from within, and this fall is usually due to a decline in the moral and spiritual values in the family. As families go, so goes a nation.The Decline of a Nation

I know where I am shopping!
Meijer is my favorite store and Domino Farms (where they grow the pizzas) is a great place for kids. No Christmas lights last year, but a great petting zoo.
Mobil even gives me UPromise points!
I will protest with my pocket book!

I'm a smoker and I have been slashed, by the left, with a calculated fact that I consume a large portion of the "health care" dollar. It doesn't matter to these a$$holes that I pay for it my self, it's a statistic they like. Now we see that most gay men are dying from AIDS and they comsume how much of the "health care" dollar. I've never heard that figure from Dan, Peter, or Tom. Where are the real numbers on AIDS and gay men? There are plenty of smokers who MAY get sick on the government's dime but where do we see the AIDS figures?

I get lung cancer and I'll die, even on my own insurance. They get sick, they die. Where are the insurance statistics on this. How much does it cost for me to die vs. how much is the price tag for them to die? Give me some stats here people. You want a price tag, then give me stats, I can run the numbers in a minute.

I pay for my own health insurance too and the premiums have gone sky high. So, I decided to write to my then-governor Christie Whitman, who wrote me back and said that I'm paying for health insurance for AIDS patients, drunks, and drug addicts.

Since the first federal resources were made available to state and local health agencies for AIDS prevention in 1985, federal funding, which now includes money for research, treatment, and housing, has skyrocketed to $13 billion for fiscal 2003. As a result of the work of highly mobilized lobbying forces, more is spent per patient on AIDS than on any other disease, though it does not even currently rank among the top 15 causes of death in the United States. In one year, 1998, heart disease, the nation's leading cause of death, killed 724,859 Americans only 6.8 percent less than the 774,767 who have contracted AIDS in the last 20 years.2 Of those 774,767 total AIDS cases, 462,766 have died. During that same period, 14 million Americans 30 times more have died of heart disease. Citizens Against Government Waste

They are! look at how big the burning man thing has become.

They can try to come and get us. We WCM will stand alone. Some of us will never break from the rule of the lord.

Your analogy was well put. I pray for you to stay strong also brother.
