Tell Corporations to Stop Funding Hate

I've written previously about a number of high profile corporations that have withdrawn their participation in the Christian Values Network after learning that they have been unwittingly helping to fund anti-LGBT hate groups. Some of the corporations that have severed ties include Expedia, Hotels.com, Avis, Westin Microsoft, Macy's, Delta, and more than 200 other corporations. Unfortunately, hundreds of corporations continue to participate and have a portion of the sales proceeds go to vitriolic anti-gay organizations that masquerade as charitable organizations under the smoke screen of religion.

AllOut.org has a petition that will be sent to corporations that are still subsidizing anti-LGBT hate. If you haven't signed the petition yet, please go here to do so (you can also see what companies are continuing to help fund anti-LGBT organizations through their participation in CVN). The LGBT community needs to make hate and bigotry carry a very real financial price.
