A number of shareholders will tomorrow ask the board of Well Fargo to remove sexual orientation from their anti-discrimination policy. Rather than railing entirely against "gay sins," as Ken Hutcherson did against Microsoft, these clever little homophobes insist that "gay" can't be seen, like race, and therefore fagalas should just keep a lid on it:
You can be sure, of course, that the shareholders' resolution brings up a bit of Biblical reference, saying that all three major religions "condemn" gay ways. This isn't the first time Well Fargo has felt the anti-gay backlash. Focus On The Family ended their business relations in 2005 after the bank contributed dough to GLAAD, which the Christian right basically regards as a Satanic covenant. |

• “Focus on the Family has closed all its Wells Fargo accounts because the San Francisco bank contributed to a gay rights group that promised to use the funds to ‘fight … the anti-gay industry,’” reports the San Francisco Chronicle. We think maybe it's time to start doing business with Wells. Thanks Lara. • Salon reveals that the right-wing Christian whack jobs will not protest Brokeback Mountain this weekend. Instead they are choosing to ignore it hoping not to contribute to the old adage that all PR is good PR. • Michael Lucas on his penis and getting blown away by RuPaul in her new film: “I owe all my success to that big penis of mine, and without it, I am nothing but an aging retarded man from communist Russia.” He said it, not us! • Made In Brazil has readers voting for Fotolog of the Year. Oh My God. Oh My God. Oh My God. • Two women are suing Walt Disney Co., NBC Universal, supermodel Heidi Klum and others, claiming the concept of Project Runway was theirs and that they presented the idea to Klum’s people in 2003. They must have missed the first season. |

The Human Rights Campaign released a long list of companies that support the LGBT community. Included on the list is Wells “moneybags” Fargo which was stamped with a perfect student score of 100%. Not good news for Focus on The Family who has been entrusting the bank with their WASPy cash for years. They’re now treating the bank the same way they’d treat their own gay child: kick them out of the house.
“Radical homosexual agenda?” And here we naively thought Wells Fargo was simply being tolerant and giving. |
