American Family Association demands boycott of all Proctor & Gamble products because P&G has said it "will not tolerate discrimination in any form, against anyone, for any reason."

The specific issue that brought this to a head is P&G's donation of $10 000 to an organisation dedicated to repealing an article of the Cincinnatti city charter that forbids the enaction of any law preventing descrimination against homosexuals, and forbids any claim by homosexuals under current discrimination laws.

And people wonder why christians are perceived as hateful and bigoted.

I don't wonder that at all.

I'm having the hardest time parsing the phrase "forbids the enaction of any law preventing descrimination against homosexuals", especially WRT repealing it.

They support repealing forbidding enacting prevention?

The Cincy charter forbids enacting laws that say that you can't discriminate against homosexuals - IOW, it's illegal to make discrimination illegal, and illegal to claim discrimination (even if you've been discriminated against) if you're gay.

I know what it's about from reading the article, I'm just poking fun at Weaselus Rex for lack of clarity.

It seems perfectly clear to me.

P&G want to repeal (the Cincy charter bit that says ((discrimination is not illegal) AND (discrimination cannot be made illegal)))
