Recently, IFI e-mailed and posted a story about local businesses, like Harris Bank and Kraft Foods, who are sponsoring the Chicago Gay Games VII. It is important to note those corporations who unwittingly undermine the health and values of our culture, and communicate to them our strong disagreements with the agenda of homosexual extremists. 

Please note: Your calls to the sponsors of the Chicago Gay Games VII are having an impact! Thank you for taking a bold stand!

To that end, we must also support corporations that do not cave in to the homosexual lobby’s unrelenting pressure. One such company,ExxonMobil, is being targeted by the “gay” lobby group Human Rights Campaign (HRC), for declining to extend health benefits to the partners of homosexual employees. (HRC has a $35 million dollar annual budget and only one goal–to advance the homosexual/bisexual/transsexual agenda.)

ExxonMobil, now the most profitable company in the United States, is the only Fortune 50 company that has refused to give into the PC and harmful policy of funding “domestic partner” benefits, which devalue marriage.

For the past seven years, HRC has waged a war against ExxonMobil–distributing leaflets, submitting comments, and making their presence known forcefully and visibly at ExxonMobil’s annual shareholders’ meetings. When Exxon and Mobil Corporations merged in 1999, Mobil’s “domestic partner” benefits program was closed from further enrollment and its “sexual orientation” policy was rescinded. 

Each year since the merger, a minority of ExxonMobil shareholders have attempted to add “sexual orientation” to the company’s non-discrimination policies. In the last two years, less than 30 percent of the shareholders voted to amend the current policy. HRC will continue to target shareholders of ExxonMobil until they have convinced enough of them to embrace their homosexual agenda. 

Pro-family citizens must stand with ExxonMobil. Contact ExxonMobil HERE, and let them know you support them. 

Here’s a sample e-note: “I will go out of my way to buy ExxonMobil gas due to your stance against ‘domestic partner’ benefits that undermine marriage. Thank you!”

With the arrival of the summer driving season, we encourage you to look for a Mobil or Exxon gas station the next time you need to fill up.
