>Dear Friends,
>
>We hope that you will consider this important.
>American Airlines is a major sponsor and supporter of groups like:
>
>GLADD,
>The Human Rights Campaign,
>The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund,
>The AIDS Action Foundation,
>DIFFA,
>AmFAR,
>
>and scores of community-based groups representing gays and lesbians.
>
>It is also the first airline to adopt a written non-discrimination
>policy
>covering sexual orientation in its employment practices.
>
>In an unusual joint letter released to the media on March 14th from
>the
>Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, American Family
>Association and Coral Ridge Ministries, American Airlines was openly
>criticized about their policy. Radical right leader Beverly LaHaye
>also
>went on Christian "talk radio" on Friday to blast American Airlines
>because
>American's sponsorship of homosexual 'pride' events constitutes an
>open
>endorsement of "promiscuous homosexuality." She and the other groups
>have
>written Bob Crandall at American to complain that the airline has
>"gone
>beyond mere tolerance" of gays and lesbians.
>
>It has come to the attention of the gay and lesbian community that
>American
>Airline's switchboard and e-mails are being bombarded now by
>homophobic
>and
>hateful callers who have been urged by LaHaye and others to DEMAND
>the
>company terminate its gay-friendly policies.
>
>The following petition expresses support for American Airline's
>gay-friendly policy. Please add your name to this petition and
>forward
>it
>to as many people as you can. To add your name just cut and paste
>this
>onto
>new mail and send it out!
>
>If you are the 25th, 50th, 75th, 100th, etc. person to sign this
>petition
>then also please forward this to American Airlines at
>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
>Thank you.
