Just a couple weeks after announcing they would no longer advertise in gay publications, Ford has reversed its decision. This is big, people. Religious Right groups had convinced Ford to pull all of its gay advertising by targeting and boycotting local Ford dealers and having them bring the complaints to Ford corporate.
Gay groups have convinced Ford to reverse its decision, and this is a BIG deal, people. We have had a complete inability to work and act as a group for a long time. Maybe ever. This win is only the first step, though. We individually need to back up Ford's decision to support us by buying their products; and, if we can't, buying their stock.
Commercial Closet's Mike Wilke sent an email today that included this quote from Joe Lyman, with Ford's human resources:"It is my hope that this will remove any ambiguity about Ford's desireto advertise to all important audiences and put this particular issue behind us," Laymon said. Let's make them proud, business-wise, of their decision.
