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 at 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.
