AFA ActivismAction Alert - June 13, 2001Support ExxonMobil Over HRC BoycottOil Giant Boycotted For Refusing Whines Of Radical Homosexual Activists
The Human Rights Campaign [HRC] called today for a nationwide boycott of ExxonMobil because the company has refused to include sexual orientation in its non-discrimination policy and refused to open its domestic partner benefits program to all gay and lesbian employees. HRC is a homosexual political organization that demands that society accept homosexuality and homosexual relationships as normal. The organization pressures companies to yield to their demands with massive letter-writing campaigns or even threats of boycotts, as is the case with ExxonMobil. “The activists at HRC will not be content until every traditional belief about human sexuality, marriage, and family in our culture is overthrown,” said AFA Executive Assistant Buddy Smith. “They intend to put ExxonMobil into an economic hammerlock until the company surrenders.” In its call to boycott, HRC is asking its supporters to: stop patronizing Exxon or Mobil gas stations and their On the Run convenience stores; cut up ExxonMobil gasoline credit cards and Mobil "Speedpasses" and send half to ExxonMobil and half to the Human Rights Campaign; write or e-mail ExxonMobil, expressing their displeasure with the company's treatment of gay and lesbian employees, customers and shareholders; send to HRC one month's worth of receipts for gasoline purchased from companies with policies aimed at favoring gay and lesbian employees. HRC is also asking people who already have Exxon Mobil stock to keep it and pledge to vote next year in favor of an anticipated shareholder resolution asking the company to add the words "sexual orientation" to its written non-discrimination policy. According to HRC’s website, when the companies merged in December 1999, ExxonMobil became the first U.S. employer ever to rescind a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation. At the same time, executives closed Mobil’s domestic partner benefits program to any additional employees. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, ExxonMobil spokesman Tom Cirigliano said the company “maintained a policy on discrimination and harassment that included sexual orientation, but hadn't included gays and lesbians in its equal employment opportunity statement, which is what HRC is seeking.” Cirigliano also told the Chronicle that the company “provided health benefits to partners of gay and lesbian employees whose unions were legally recognized in Canada, the Netherlands and Vermont, or those workers who worked for Mobil Corp. before the two companies merged." ACTION NEEDEDExxonMobil insists that its current policy already prohibits discrimination of any kind. Urge ExxonMobil to remain firm against HRC's unfounded attack and that the real attack is on one of the key foundations of a healthy society; the sanctity of marriage.Here are some ways of encouraging ExxonMobil to stand firm: ** Patronize Exxon or Mobil gas stations and their On the Run convenience stores and let them know WHY you are doing so; ** ExxonMobil stockholders should continue to vote against anticipated shareholder resolutions asking the company to add the words "sexual orientation" to its written non-discrimination policy. ** Write or e-mail Mr. Raymond at ExxonMobil expressing your appreciation for fairness with discrimination policies and resistance to whining from the HRC. Mr. Lee R. Raymond, CEO Exxon Mobil Corp. 5959 Las Colinas Blvd. Irving, TX 75039-2298 Phone: 972-444-1000 Fax: 972-444-1350 URL ** A Special Message to Parents and Grandparents of Teens: On TV, in the movies, in the news and even in many schools, your children and grandchildren are bombarded with the message that homosexuality is normal. In some cases, teens are being encouraged to experiment with homosexual activities. If you love your teenagers, make sure they see It's Not Gay. Without moralizing, without preaching, without judgmental or hateful language, It's Not Gay reveals the brokenness of the homosexual lifestyle - a story that is seldom portrayed in the media, but lived out daily in broken lives. Your teens will hear from those who have lived the homosexual lifestyle - their own stories in their own words. Along with medical and mental health experts, these former homosexuals testify to the physical and emotional devastation of homosexual behavior. Before those who are promoting this tragic agenda shape their view, let your teens see the other side of the issue. It could save their lives.
