Dobson and [Focus on the Family President and CEO Jim Daly] jointly announced that Focus on the Family had severed ties with Wells Fargo because of that company’s heavy commitment to the gay agenda.<\/p>\n
“From a technical standpoint, they did the job well,” Dobson said, “but their corporate headquarters is in San Francisco, and they are heavily committed to the gay and lesbian agenda.” <\/p>\n
On the broadcast, they explained how the company had increased contributions to gay-activist groups, while cutting support to the Boy Scouts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In fact, in explaining the decision on Dobson’s radio show yesterday, Daly suggested that most of corporate America is dangerously pro-gay. According to his analysis:<\/p>\n
* 49 of the Top 50 Fortune 500 companies have adopted what Focus considers to be pro-gay policies.<\/p>\n
* 230 of the top 500 companies offer some form of domestic partnership health benefits.<\/p>\n
“What this means,” Dobson said, “is that the gay and lesbian activist groups have picked off all the big companies in the United States — I mean you can hardly do business with corporate American if you want to establish your own policies or maintain them or spend your money wisely. It’s a tidal wave across this country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, Focus considers this development to be a blight on society, but I was pleasantly surprised by such sweeping success. If Focus’ numbers are accurate, corporate America is far more progressive on this issue than I’d realized. Good for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
