Dear Friends
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
criticised about its 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.
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. You don't
have to be gay or lesbian or, for that matter, of any particular sexual
nature to respond to this message.
You only have to be decent and have a desire to take one small step in
opposing bigotry.
Please add your name to this petition and forward it to as many people
as you can.

To American Airlines:
We, the undersigned, support your gay/lesbian rights policies and
commend you for your efforts in ending discrimination. Thank you for
your dedication to such issues and please continue to remain active in
the struggle to end discrimination.
