Aside from the Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson fiasco that took place a couple of days after The Attacks, it seems like America’s most virulent homophobes have been subdued of late. I get the sneaky feeling, though, that that’s about to change. Which is why I signed up for the American Family Association’s “Action Alert” listserv. You can, too, just by sending an email to afalert-join@lyris.afo.net.
The AFA’s latest initiative? Taking Proctor and Gamble to task for providing health benefits to its employees’ domestic partners. Drop a line to P & G Chairman John E. Pepper to let him know how you feel.
Side note: activism feels good. I mean, I’m not heading out to Islamabad anytime soon, so attacking assholes from my home state (though they’re technically from Tupelo, which is like another planet) helps rid me of some nervous, aggressive energy. Try it yourself.
