AFA ActivismAction Alert - 10/16/01Procter & Gamble grants benefits to homosexual “domestic partners”“With this move, P&G has clearly expressed that its corporate policy now equates two homosexual lovers shacking up together with a man and a woman living in holy matrimony. This is a slap in the face of true families.” AFA President Donald E. Wildmon
American Family Association today expressed its profound disappointment in Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) decision to include homosexual “domestic partners” in its benefit plan for employees. AFA said the move cheapens the institution of marriage. “These health benefit plans have traditionally been reserved for the spouses and families of employees,” said AFA President Donald E. Wildmon. “With this move, P&G has clearly expressed that its corporate policy now equates two homosexual lovers shacking up together with a man and a woman living in holy matrimony. This is a slap in the face of true families.” In a statement issued to its employees, P&G said the company “will broaden the eligibility requirements for dependents to include domestic partners and their children” beginning on January 1, 2002. Furthermore, the company said the policy change is consistent with P&G’s “commitments to valuing diversity” and “promotes equal opportunity related to marital status or sexual orientation.” Wildmon said P&G’s actions demonstrate a profound disrespect for God. “Contrary to what some in corporate America may think, the Lord God Almighty was the one who invented marriage and the family,” he said. “By pretending to have the authority to redefine those two institutions, P&G has thumbed its nose at God.” Procter & Gamble Products Cosmetics - Cover Girl, Max Factor, Oil of Olay Deodorants/Anti-perspirants - Old Spice, Secret, Sure Fragrances - Giorgio Beverly Hills, Hugo Boss Aftershave - Old Spice Hair Care - Head & Shoulders, Mediker, Pantene Pro-V, Physique, Rejoy/Rejoice, Pert Plus, Vidal Sassoon Skin/Beauty Care - Camay, Ivory, Coast, Clearasil, Noxzema, Oil of Olay, Safeguard, Zest Food & Beverage - Crisco, Folgers, Jif, Millstone, Olean, FatFree Pringles, Pringles, Sunny Delight, Tender Leaf Tea Commercial Products Group - Coffee (Folgers), Crisco kitchen Other Products Group - Amines, Fatty Acids, Fatty Alcohols, Glycerine, Methyl Esters Filtration - PUR Gastrointestinal - Living Better, Metamucil, Pepto-Bismol Incontinence - Attends Oral Care - Crest Toothpaste, Fixodent, Gleem, Scope Pet Care - Iams Respiratory Care - The Vicks Family of Cough/Cold Products, Chloraseptic, Cough Drops, DayQuil, Inhaler, NyQuil, Sinex, VapoRub, VapoSteam, Vicks 44, Vitamin C Drops Therapeutic - Thermacare Bleach - Biz Dish Care - Cascade, Dawn, Ivory Dish, Joy Fabric Conditioners - Febreze Fruit and Vegetable Wash - Fit Hard Surface Cleaners - Comet, Mr. Clean, Spic and Span, Swiffer Laundry - Bold, Bounce, Cheer, Downy, Dreft, Dryel, Era, Gain, Ivory Snow, Oydol, Tide Commercial Products Group {Institutional Cleaning Products} - Coin-Vended Laundry Products Baby Diapers - Luvs, Pampers Baby Wipes - Pampers Baby Fresh, Kids Fresh, Luvs Ultra Thicks Feminine Protection - Always, Tampax, Tissues/Towels - Bounty, Charmin, Puffs, Royale ACTION NEEDEDAFA President Donald E.
