| CFAC articles condensed | The Royal Bank of Canada launched a sexual orientation campaign to request its employees to "be supportive" of "gay, lesbian and bisexual issues." The inference of this militant campaign is the Bank will not tolerate "unsupportive" workers and that is discrimination and intolerance. Their newsletter leads you to believe that homophobia is a problem in the Bank. It states "Many employees simply do not know the facts about GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered), while others are openly hostile." Canada Family Action Coalition is calling upon all people of faith, good will and commonsense to boycott the Royal Bank beginning October 4th by closing your personal and business accounts and refusing to invest in their misguided morality. Boycott succeeds – RBC Cancels Program 10/18/04 As a result of the decision of RBC’s senior management to cancel the sticker program, CFAC is immediately canceling our boycott. We would like to thank all of you who joined in this boycott and moved your accounts and investments from RBC to express your disagreement with the Rainbow Space program. We also learned that only about 10% of employees responded to the program and requested the sticker, which indicates little internal support for the program. It is unfortunate that "diversity" has become the latest buzzword for pushing certain ideologies on people and eroding individual rights and freedoms. CFAC believes in treating people from diverse backgrounds with respect and kindness. But to manipulate the positive ideal of diversity for such underhanded purposes as forcing people to endorse other people’s sexual behaviors is reprehensible. |
