Proctor & Gamble & Dr. Laura |

Compiled by GayToday
Washington, D.C.--After meeting with some of America's
largest, and most rabid, anti-gay organizations,
Procter & Gamble has announced that it is
reconsidering its decision to drop the Dr. Laura TV
show, according to yesterday's Hollywood Reporter.
Proctor &Gamble met with a who's-who of anti-gay activists: the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Coral Ridge Ministries, the Family Research Council, and Focus on the Family. While the article referred to these groups as "national Christian groups", a look at their own words about gay people is illuminating, and frightening: - "...one of the primary goals of the homosexual rights movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order."--Family Research Council.
We cannot let the Religious Right force Proctor & Gamble to change its mind!!! Please take a minute to contact Proctor & Gamble one more time and thank them profusely for standing up for equal rights for all Americans--urge them not to advertise on the Dr. Laura show. Their principled stand is historic-- and we should not abandon our friends. And make sure you tell them that you're telling all your friends how wonderful they are, and then.... Forward this information to your friends!
