NASHVILLE, Tenn., December 14, 2001 (LSN.ca) – The American Family Association (AFA) has blasted the Bridgestone/Firestone (BFS) tire and rubber company for their announcement of a promise of support for homosexual activists via heavy advertising on homosexual websites, television channels and print media. The BFS announcement noted that the company had a history of donations promoting homosexuality. BFS admitted having funded among other ventures: GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), GLSEN (The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), Family Pride Coalition and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Firestone’s employees are not happy about the company’s new endorsement. AFA President Don Wildmon said he was contacted by employees hoping a vocal outcry by consumers will send a strong message of disappointment to Bridgestone/Firestone President John Lampe.
