Ian McAllister, CBE, chairman and managing director, Ford Motor Company Limited, had this to say about Ford’s support for the homosexual community. “Ford has been supporting gay, lesbian and transgender events and charities for many years, and this year, Ford will be a main sponsor of the London Mardi Gras. We believe at Ford in helping a global society that is more open and tolerant, and one that values diversity. Our presence at the Mardi Gras underlines that philosophy.” Read More Ford donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to homosexual groups to push the homosexual agenda. While it is nearly impossible to find the most recent gifts to homosexual groups, Corporate Patterns reports that at least since 1999 the company has been donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to homosexual groups. In 1999, Ford gave $200,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and $100,000 to the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Campaign. Ford refused to give information on how much money they have given to homosexual groups in the past two years. Unlike many corporations which give most of their donations to local groups to support projects in their local communities, Ford gives an inordinate amount to national liberal social causes.

Nicole8223 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Subaru supports Gays and Lesbians, too...and I am doing an internship for them!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHH!!!! It's the worst...but it is obvious God has put me here in the marketing department for a reason. If only I would have known about this ahead of time...
Jaime Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Lest we forget Saturn markets to the gay demographic more aggressively than any other car maker. Putting aside the moral implications of the gay lifestyle for a second, (and I'm probably going to be shot for this one), the marketing strategy makes a lot of fiscal sense for several reasons. 1. Market studies show that homosexuals have more disposable income. 2. Because they have more disposable income, they have a tendency to be less of a credit risk 3. Companies have avoided marketing to them, so they are an untapped demographic. Because of this, you can invest less to market to them than other demographics.

[/quote] I had a class this semester and my teacher was gay, and this is all he talked about. hot stuff, did you take his class before??? LOL. You hit the nail on the head. In terms of "business," this segment is the perfect one to go after. In terms of morality, IT'S NOT! It's frustrating. I love marketing, but I don't want to work for companies who care more about money than morality. I need a job when I graduate in December, and I don't want to settle for another company like Subaru....pray for me. (Sorry for the temporary hijack. You may now return to your regularly scheduled program.)
thessalonian Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) [quote]. Market studies show that homosexuals have more disposable income. [/quote] They had to do a study to find out that people who can't possibly have children have more disposable income. Edited May 31, 2005 by thessalonian
