U.S. FORD MOTOR COMPANY PUSHING THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA

Even though the Ford Motor Company in the U.S. is facing bankruptcy and laying off thousands of employees, it has dug in its heels and insists on continuing to finance homosexual organizations and same-sex marriage, while refusing to fund any organization on the opposite side of the issue.

Ford, which also manufacturers Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury, is now facing grave financial problems on a number of fronts, including stiff competition from Japan (Toyota) and Korea (Hyundai) as these foreign cars are made more efficiently than American models. In fact, the Ford Motor Company lost $1.44 billion (US) through the first half of 2006 with its U.S. market in a 10-year decline.

Another problem for U.S. Ford is the boycott by more than 20 pro-family groups in the U.S., initiated by The American Family Association because of Ford's support of the homosexual agenda. Ford's stock has dropped more than 14% since the boycott began, reaching the lowest point in nearly 20 years. The stock is now $8.02 and is expected to fall to $3.00 in a matter of months. At U.S. Ford's annual shareholder's meeting, held on May 11, 2006, Ford Motor Company Chairman, William Ford Jr., stated that Ford "was profitable in most of the world with the exception of our North American automotive operations".

This is not to say that the two other big U.S. automobile manufacturers, General Motors and Chrysler Daimler are not also in financial trouble, but Ford's trouble is much worse. Its market share fell from 25% early this decade to 15%. Ford is being hammered in the U.S. market by fuel conscious consumers who are ditching Ford's gas-guzzling SUV's and pick-up trucks and shifting to smaller vehicles such as the popular Toyotas. But Ford, is also being hammered by the fact that it continues to alienate consumers by its insistence on supporting the homosexual agenda. It sponsors gay pride parades and gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to homosexual political groups, which are vigorously pushing homosexual demands. For example, Ford Motor Company is a "platinum Sponsor" of the U.S. Human Rights Campaign ("HRC"), which is the leading advocate of homosexual marriages. In order to be a "Platinum Sponsor", Ford was required to give HRC $150,000.

Ford was the first and only U.S. auto company listed on the 1999 Gay and Lesbian Values Index of top 100 companies working on homosexual issues.

U.S. Ford also carried a bizarre anti-traditional family TV ad. The Ford commercial shows two parents, two children and a dog spending a weekend shopping, driving and hanging out on the beach - but at the end of the day, the father is dropped off at his apartment. "Thanks for inviting me this weekend," he said, while hugging his children. "Sure," responds his apparent ex-wife, perched behind the wheel of the Ford Freestyle. The commercial ends with the father waving as the car drives away.

The ad, according to Ford's General Marketing Manager, John Felice is a "true reflection of the world today", adding that Ford wasn't making any kind of social statement with the ad which he called a "celebration of family" and a tribute to "the versatility of life itself." No wonder Ford has trouble selling its cars.

Ford Motors in Canada

The situation with Ford Canada is different in that Ford sales increased 13% here last year. According to Marketing Magazine's June 12, 2006 issue, which featured homosexual marketing in Canada, Ford Canada placed an ad in the September 2, 2005 Toronto edition of the homosexual newspaper Xtra. It was a full-page ad for the Escape Hybrid in which the copy read:

Like you, Ford doesn't compromise.

However, a closer look revealed a pink ribbon, indicating the car maker is a proud sponsor of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - but without any reference to the gay community! The ad was not the only mixed message from Ford. Despite the ad's prominent position on the inside front cover of an overtly gay publication, Ford officials say they know nothing of efforts to target Canada's gay community. When asked whether his company has placed ads in gay publications, Ford Canada's public affairs manager Chris Banks said, "Ford of Canada, I don't believe we ever have."

Maybe that's the reason why Ford Canada had a 29% increase in sales in August, which boosted its market share to 13.8% from 11.6% a year earlier.

U.S. Ford's Philanthropic Foundation

Ford established the Ford Foundation back in 1936 which is now based in New York to carry out philanthropic work on behalf of the company. Unfortunately, however, most of its philanthropic work in recent years is directed to fund homosexual organizations and feminist groups around the world, many of which are active at the UN. For example, according to the Foundation 2005 annual report, the Ford Foundation gave $2 million to the organization established by Planned Parenthood, called "Catholics for Free Choice", whose purpose is to agitate for abortion world wide, claiming it represents a "Catholic" viewpoint. Hardly.

The Ford Foundation does make some grants to a few worthy organizations, such as refugee and immigrant groups, but the main thrust of its grants totaling $205,289,770, last year, seems to have been to support feminists, pro-abortion and homosexual organizations. Included in these grants was $100,000 to the Canadian organization set up by Planned Parenthood in Canada in 1998 called Action Canada for Population and Development (ACPD). The purpose of ACPD is to push abortion and homosexual rights around the world.

The Ford Foundation, in short, is not interested in supporting pro/life/family organizations - only those that are aimed at changing the social values of a country for the worst, such as widening access to abortion and feminism and acquiring privileges for homosexuals.

The U.S. Ford Foundation does not represent mainstream America, and neither does the U.S. division represent the views of mainstream Americans. On the other hand, Ford Canada, because it has not become embroiled in left wing politics in Canada, is not in nearly as much financial difficulties as is the U.S. division. If it is smart, Ford Canada will keep it that way.
