Applause for Ford

How about a little applause sent Ford's way for not caving in to an American Family Association boycott. The AFA started a boycott of Ford because - gasp! - Ford takes out ads in gay magazines and provides funding for events sponsored by gay organizations. According to Donald Wildmon, not only is being gay an abomination, but so is selling a car to a gay person. Because ya know, maybe if they had to walk everywhere they'd reconsider their deviant lifestyle. Or something. Nice to see the bigots get told to get bent. Bravo, Ford.
