It's becoming a pattern: if a company or organization is even remotely inclusive or gay friendly, it becomes a target for attack by the Religious Right:

Now the religious right hate groups are attacking unions who support gays

NOTE TO UNIONS: They're messing with you and they won't stop unless you punch them back even harder. You've got my email, feel free to give a holler. More than happy to help make your response a doozy :-)

The religious right is now threatening the unions with their hate literature.

And, big surprise, it's just as packed full of lies as their now-failed boycott of Ford (the one that lasted, oh, like a week). They accuse the unions, just like they accused Ford, of supporting gay marriage simply because they oppose anti-gay hate. Amazing connection the fundamentalist Christian hate groups make, trying to tie anything pro-gay to an all-out endorsement and push for gay marriage. Of course, nothing gets their knuckle-dragging grassroots energized like bringing out the gay marriage boogey-man.

Note to Convio, Capitol Advantage, and any other vendor who works with relgious right hate groups. Do you NOW understand why we simply cannot and will not tolerate working with those vendors who work with our enemies, who work with HATE GROUPS? This has gone way beyond a disagreement about policy and politics. These bigots are out to destroy us, and we are going to respond just as forcefully to defend ourselves, our families, and everything this country used to stand for.

Please contact the AFL-CIO and thank them for their past support for civil rights for ALL Americans, and let them know that you stand with them and are here to support them in their battle against anti-civil rights hate groups.
