Gallant supports everyone’s right to love as they please:
Nike announced Tuesday it supports the Freedom to Marry and Religious Protection Initiative in Oregon, and that the company has created the Nike Equality PAC, a foundation to raise money in support of marriage equality.
The PAC begins with $280,000: A $100,000 contribution from Nike and another $180,000 from Nike executives.
Goofus doesn’t do the right thing when the right thing gets in the way of profits:
Ikea has been accused of cowardice after removing a British lesbian couple from the Russian edition of its monthly magazine.
The December issue of the magazine, which will be distributed in most countries in which Ikea operates, contains a long feature about the lives of Clara and Kirsty, a Dorset-based lesbian couple and their Ikea-filled interiors. “We’re two mums bringing up our baby boy in Clara’s loft,” says Kirsty in the story. “We’re not your average family in your average home, but if my nan can raise two sons in a tiny caravan, we can make it work in our little loft.”
Russian Ikea shoppers, however, will be shielded from information about the lives of the two British lesbians, in case it is deemed to fall foul of the country’s controversial new law banning “homosexual propaganda”.
