Carrier defunds support of Boys Scouts for being "morally straight"
April 10, 2002
The Carrier Corporation air conditioner company has decided to stop
supporting the Boy Scouts of America because of the youth organization's
policy of protecting boys from homosexual leaders.
According to a Carrier spokesman, the company declined to buy or sell
tickets this year for the annual Boypower Dinner of the Hiawatha Seaway
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Carrier's decision to punish the
Scouts this year will affect young boys in five upstate New York counties
served by the Hiawatha Council: Onondaga, Oswego, Lewis, Jefferson and St.
Lawrence.
"This is a consumer-driven company saying they prefer to support sex between
men rather than American boys who promise to stay 'morally straight,'" said
Don Wildmon, president of American Family Association. "I can only assume
Carrier isn't concerned with the idea of homosexuals sharing tents with
young boys."
According to the Associated Press, Carrier was responsible for combined
donations and corporate dinner ticket sales of $42,025 to the Hiawatha Boy
Scouts last year.
ACTION NEEDED
Let Carrier know what you think about their abandoning the Boy Scouts of
America, and instead, pandering to the whims of homosexual activists. Be
sure to tell them that their corporate decision has major implications on
your doing business with local Carrier dealers.
