Ford Motor Company

I just read the article about FMC in the latest Advocate. I think that stating "Ford caved to the AFA" is inaccurate. I have watched this thing between FMC and the AFA pretty close for some time. I have also seen FMC lose billions over the last few years. One has to remember that Ford was one of the first major corporations to align themselves with the Gay community many years ago. I still see ads for Volvo (owned by Ford) from time to time in the Advocate. I believe they still sponsor Gay events and are a silver sponsor to the HRC. I hope and believe as they make their economic turnaround FMC will again be advertising more in all publications including the Advocate. Perhaps the Gay community should give them a break, considering their past support and let them get back on their feet. The statement issued by FMC in response to the AFA should satisfy any concerns the Gay community may have.
