John Hancock Insurance and Financial Services has embraced homosexuality by becoming the first company in New England and the first financial services firm in the country to become a National Sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign, which is the largest and richest homosexual advocacy organization in the country.
The company is also forcing its employees to give their approval to the homosexual lifestyle. This is being accomplished by the use of video kiosks throughout the company offices with a televised presentation by Elizabeth Birch, Executive Director of HRC. There will also be articles on the company intranet explaining the company's support of HRC. Any employee who questions the lifestyle will be questioning official company policy about "diversity."
Although this news was reported by Bay Windows in the Dec. 12 issue, there is nothing on the company's website about the endorsement.
The Human Rights Campaign was started by James Hormel of the Hormel Meat Company, who was Bill Clinton's ambassador to Luxembourg. It has a large banquet in Boston every fall and takes about $300,000 in contributions back to New York. Many of the major politicians attend, including Atty. Gen. Tom Reilly, Steve Grossman, Senate President Tom Birmingham and Mayor Menino have attended.
John Hancock made its announcement at a private Dec. 9 party that was held in its sixtieth-floor observatory, according to Bay Windows. It donated $50,000 to the homosexual group for help in building a permanent headquarters in Washington, D.C.
It also announced its support of the ENDA legislation being pushed by Sen. Kennedy and the entire Massachusetts delegation which would give special rights to homosexuals across the entire country.
This was apparently a financial decision by John Hancock. They targeted homosexual customers in 2000 by the use of advertising that caused great controversy, according to Bay Windows. It depicted a lesbian couple who had just landed at an airport after adopting an infant from Asia. The company says they heard "some very positive comments" from homosexuals as a result.
Many senior executives turned out in support of the Dec. 9 event, including David D'Alessandro, CEO and Chairman of John Hancock.
A spokesperson said the company is a "long time leader on diversity issues."

Unless, of course, you are white and/or Christian...
If you work in an office environment these days you are forced to conform to the most ridiculous standards especially if you're a male.
Sterile PC environment where the coffee is weak, the music sucks and if you look at a woman wrong you can get nailed for 'sexual harassment'. Groupthink on everything from how you dress, wear your hair, what you drive, where you socialize, and on and on. Thank God I got out of that environment.
I know casinos get by with tiny percentages in their favor, but I would think a large insurance company would go for better percentages than this. 'Course, I'm not much of a businessman, so what do I know?
Try the "Post Article" at the top and bottom of the page.
How would John Hancock respond to this?
How would John Hancock feel about a company (which already wantonly appropriates a portion of its legitimacy and credibility by using his name without his permission) adding insult to injury by associating it with 'Butt Surfing'?
Damn Homo bastards...
If they're not going after your kids they're misusing your name, even after you’ve been dead a couple of hundred years no less.
What are we to do about this?
yap. Jobs are shipped overseas, productive employees cut off at the knees, yet there's always payroll to lavish large salaries and offices on HR and diversity "coordinators", "trainers", "action officers". These are BS people with a liberal arts BS that otherwise would be asking if you "wanna suerpersize that?"
