Kraft Doing Good!

Passing this on...
I got it from Malixe on Live Journal....

I suggest sending an email to Kraft encouraging them to keep up the good work.

Kraft Says It Proudly Supports The Gay Games

Dear -----,

Kraft Inc. is sponsoring the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago. I want to show you what Kraft proudly supports. But before I do that, you need to read what Marc Firestone, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Kraft Foods Inc., said in refusing to cancel their sponsorship.

"Diversity is more than a word many people like to say. At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it's nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recognizing, respecting and valuing these differences helps us be a more successful business and a workplace where all employees can realize their full potential."

The Gay Games can't get a much stronger commitment than that given by Kraft.

Kraft also owns Maxwell House, Post, Oscar Mayer and Nabisco brands, which account for almost 75% of the company's revenues.

The attached photos were taken at the last Gay Games. This is the type activity Mr. Firestone says Kraft recognizes, respects and values. (Warning: These photos are very offensive.) Click here to see the Gay Games photos.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved.

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

[EDIT:] Ya know, it occurs to me that maybe I could make it as simple to participate as the AFA does. So I'll give it a shot-- please feel free to cut and paste and/or improve upon my efforts in your own forums.

Here's my revised version of the AFA's boilerplate text-- (SNIP!)

E-Mail: Roger Deromedi, CEO, Kraft Foods

I am pleased to learn of Kraft's sponsorship of the Gay Games, and that Kraft values diversity and integrity in the face of attempted intimidation by the "American Family Association". I encourage Kraft not to withdraw its sponsorship or encourage the AFA in any way.

If Kraft does not withdraw its sponsorship of the Gay Games, and if American Family Association calls for a boycott of Kraft, I will make every effort to buy more Kraft products and encourage my friends to do so as well. Keep up the good work!
