Dear Belle And Sebastian Listees, sorry to post the list, but I thought this was rather important. Please add your name to this list, whether you happen to be homosexual, bisexual, or just a straight person who's disgusted with the recent killing of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming, like I am. Thanks, Susannah Please consider supporting this supportive gesture towards American Airlines - after all, isn't public health about social justice? Add your name to the list & pass it on... Dear Friends, American Airlines is a major sponsor to and supporter of groups like: GLADD, the Human Rights Campaign, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, the AIDS Action Foundation, DIFFA, AmFAR, and scores of community-based groups representing gays and lesbians. It is also the first airline to adopt a written non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation in its employment practices. In an unusual joint letter released to the media on March 14th from the Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, American Family Association and Coral Ridge Ministries, American Airlines was openly criticized about their policy. Radical right leader Beverly LaHaye also went on Christian "talk radio" on Friday to blast American Airlines because American's sponsorship of homosexual 'pride' events constitutes an open endorsement of "promiscuous homosexuality." She and the other groups have written Bob Crandall at American to complain that the airline has "gone beyond mere tolerance" of gays and lesbians. It has come to the attention of the gay and lesbian community that American Airline's switchboard and e-mails are being bombarded now by homophobic and hateful callers who have been urged by LaHaye and others to DEMAND the company terminate its gay-friendly policies. Please add your name to this petition and forward it to as many people as you can. To add your name just cut and paste this onto new mail and send it out! If you are the 25th, 50th, 75th, 100th, etc. person to sign this petition then also please forward this to American Airlines at Webmaster@amrcorp.com Thank you. ************************************************* To American Airlines: We, the undersigned, support your gay/lesbian rights policies and commend you for your efforts in ending discrimination. Thank you for your dedication to such issues and please continue to remain active in the struggle to end discrimination.
