The antigay American Family Association claimed a cultural victory on Thursday and called off its threatened boycott of Ford Motor Co. On Friday, Ford spokesman Mike Moran confirmed to Advocate.com that the company will stop advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover brands in gay publications but insisted it was strictly a business decision.
The Dearborn, Mich., automaker came under fire from the AFA in May for its longtime efforts to increase LGBT workplace diversity and support gay rights causes. Ford has long been a regular advertiser within gay media, including The Advocate, and has donated significant sums to LGBT causes and nonprofit groups such as the Human Rights Campaign.

Ford is the most evil car company on the face of the earth. Its vehicles are the most destructive for the environment, and it needs the neocons to keep the policies in their favor, and to keep buying those gas guzzlers.
No wonder it's now obligated to screw gays over.
I have a Ford, and it's failing emissions again right after I got it fixed. Ford has forgotten how to build good cars, and all it knows is reactionary politics.
Toyota, with its support of John Roberts and Governator Ahnuld, is just as evil. I will never park a Ford (including Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Volvo) or a Toyota (including Lexus and Scion) in my garage ever again.
