Alert!
Coca-Cola,
BellSouth to sponsor ‘Atlanta Pride’ festival
“Coca-Cola and Bell South will help advance a lifestyle that
continually leads to death, disease, and personal anguish.” - Randy
Sharp, American Family
AssociationTwo
major American corporations are marking their place in the arena of the
gender confused next month. The American
Family Association (AFA) says that by providing sponsorship dollars to
the Atlanta Pride festival in June, Coca-Cola and Bell South will encourage possibly
hundreds of young people to make decisions which will ultimately ruin
their lives.
Randy Sharp, AFA director of special projects says,
“Coca-Cola and BellSouth will help advance a lifestyle that continually
leads to death, disease, and personal anguish. Self-destruction comes from
making poor choices in life. This is the life of homosexuality.”
He
says research should convince companies to tend to selling their product,
not promoting harmful lifestyles and activities. “Oxford
University’s International Journal of Epidemiology reports life
expectancy at age 20 years for gay and bisexual men is 8 to 20 years less
than for all men.”
The American Medical Association report states
“people with same-sex sexual behavior are at greater risk for psychiatric
disorders” – including major depression and substance abuse.
The
Medical Institute of Sexual Health reports: “Homosexual men are at
significantly increased risk of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, anal cancer,
gonorrhea and gastrointestinal infections as a result of their sexual
practices. Women who have sex with women are at significantly increased
risk of bacterial vaginosis, breast cancer and ovarian cancer than are
heterosexual women."
“I don’t think Coca-Cola and BellSouth would
give a moment’s thought to sponsoring a chain-smokers or binge drinkers
festival, because they understand the unhealthy and dangerous results”
says Sharp. “Homosexual activities lead down the same lethal
road.”
AFA says Coca-Cola and BellSouth should seriously reconsider
the longtime implications of their actions.

Letter
Dear (name),
I am disappointed to learn that your
company carelessly disregards the dangers that deprive people of long and
healthy lives. Every day, hundreds of people die as the result of choosing
unhealthy lifestyles. Yet, your company chooses to celebrate homosexuality
by sponsoring the Atlanta Pride Festival.
I encourage you to
strongly reconsider the long term implications of your support for this
and other similar events.
Sincerely,
(your name)
