> Dear Friends,
>
> American Airlines is a major sponsor to and supporter of groups like
> GLADD, the Human Rights Campaign, the Gay and Lesbian
Victory Fund, An Uncommon Legacy Foundation, the AIDS Action
Foundation, DIFFA, AmFAR, and scores of community-based groups
representing gays and lesbians. It is also the first airline to adopt a
written non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation in its
employment practices.
>
> In an unusual joint letter released to the media on Friday, March
14th from the Family Research Council, Concerned Women of
America, American Family Association, and Coral Ridge Ministries,
American Airlines was openly criticized about their policy. Radical
right leader Beverly LaHaye also went on Christian "talk radio" on
Friday to blast American Airlines because "American's sponsorship of
homosexual 'pride' events constitutes an open endorsement of
promiscuous homosexuality." She and the other groups have written
Bob Crandall at American to complain that the airline has "gone
beyond mere tolerance" of gays and lesbians.
The full article appears in Friday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and
possibly picked up by other newspapers around the country.
> It has come to the attention of the gay and lesbian community that
> American Airline's switchboard and e-mails are being bombarded
now by homophobic and hateful callers who have been urged by
LaHaye and others to DEMAND the company terminate its
gay-friendly policies.

> We, the undersigned, support your gay/lesbian rights policies and
> commend you for your efforts in ending discrimination. Thank you
for your dedication to such issues and please continue to remain
active in the struggle to end discrimination.
