Ford Motor Company Sponsors LGBT Agenda

(Click image for the episode that Ford supported)
Apparently I've been in the closet because I did not know that Ford Motor Company is a continual sponsor of the LGBT agenda, nationally and internationally. I find this refreshing. I haven't been paying much attention to Ford prior to now, but
American Family Association and nearly 3 dozen other Christian groups certainly have- and my interest has been sparked. Their organization has been boycotting Ford for quite some time. They have an entire website set up for it. They go so far as to link drops in sales to supporting homosexuality. AFA believes that since they began boycotting Ford sales have plummeted. They don't even consider other variables. . Maybe consumers are switching to vehicles from foreign companies whose vehicles emit less pollution and get better gas mileage, or because other companies vehicles have qualities people are looking for like reliability -correlation does not equal causation AFA.

AFA also appears disgruntled by the fact that Ford withdrew a previous committment to no longer support controversial issues and "stay neutral in the culture wars".
I am suprised and ecstatic at Ford's move. As long as they don't back down, other companies will begin to realize that our communities are no longer going to be repressed and that they are going to have to support this diversity for a more just and equal nation. I wonder if AFA members realize that Starbucks and Coors support the lgbt community too? (of course we all know that Christians don't drink caffeine or alcohol) It's going to be hard for the AFA to commit their members to not buy minivans and inexpensive American made SUV's from Ford and its affiliates.

In January the American Family Association sent out an Action Alert to their members urging them to take action against Ford for sponsoring what they call "one of the most explicit, sickening homosexual scenes ever shown on television". Ford apparently runs commercials on the FX channel that airs during the series "Dirt". They warned their members about viewing the "extremely graphic" video of the scene. My curious mind wondered what I would find, so I watched it not really knowing what to expect. AFA describes the video as:

Two men on a backyard patio are discussing their acting careers when one of them asks the other if he may ask a personal question. The other man says, "Relax. I've been thinking the same thing." He then places his hands on the first man's face and pulls him in for a very long, passionate kiss. He then says, "Every since I met you, I've been thinking the same thing." He then moves one hand down the first man's shirt and rubs his crotch. Immediately he falls to his knees and begins undoing the man's belt, pants and zipper. After gazing at the man's penis, he moves his head forward toward it. The scenes cuts to a distance view, where the second man is seen giving the first man oral sex.
Here is the scene posted on You Tube- "Dirt"
I'm sorry, what's so sickening? If this was a man going down on a woman, would they be as sickened? Of course not, because AFA believes that homosexuality is a disturbing abnormal disease that can be fixed. They even promote a video called "Its Not Gay" where apparently former homosexuals tell their stories in their own words and express a fatal warning about how the promotion of homosexuality is ruining the fabric of America. Sorry AFA, the promotion of love and passion is not destroying America, it's the promotion of hate that tears this country apart!

Is this an excerpt from the show or one from the ad? If it's the ad, I find it interesting, but I am not sure what it has to do with Ford vehicles.
