A conservative group is ending its 2-year boycott of Ford Motor Co. for donations to what it calls gay organizations.Ford said Tuesday, however that it has decreased overall charitable spending and advertising in recent years because of financial losses.
The Tupelo, Miss.-based American Family Association says the automaker has met its conditions, including not making donations to gay organizations and ceasing almost all advertising in gay publications.
Ford said in a statement Tuesday that its principles haven't changed and that it is committed to treating everyone fairly.
Ford is refuting the AFA's claims that anything has changed. "The AFA has made its decision and is ready to move on. Our principles have not changed. We are committed to treating everyone fairly and with respect, including our dealers, customers and employees. Ford will continue to market its products widely to attract as many customers as possible and make charitable contributions to strengthen communities to the extent business conditions allow. Difficult business conditions in recent years have reduced our overall spending across the board."
