Ford takes a cue and comes around on gays

Ford Motor Co. yesterday said it will resume advertising Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in gay-themed publications, following an outpouring of fury from gay groups that said Ford's recent decision to pull the ads fed anti-gay sentiment and emboldened enemies of gay rights.

i have no doubt whatsoever that the lion's share of credit for this turn-around goes directly to john aravosis at americablog... go tell him how much you appreciate his rapid and thorough response to intolerance and bigotry...
