I'm not sure what you mean by "neutral." AFAIK they didn't include any soft-core gay pr0n or anything  . It's simply that Ford advertised in a publication the AFA doesn't think should have a right to exist.

Why is it ok for the ACLU, Rainbow Coalition, PETA, and all the other leftist organizations to do the same?
yeah, but everyone knows theyre a bunch of wackjobs. 
this AFA group is eroding what little respect the Christian community has left.  and people wonder why secular groups keep coming down harder on them.
this protest was just pathetic. and Fords bowing to them was even moreso. they should have responded just as Jato mentioned. they should have said "Ford is like Jesus, it loves everybody." 
I would have to agree 100%

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. 
i've done some research on this for real estate investing: on average, gay individuals and gay couples have more expendable income than straight ones do. i imagine this translates into car purchases as well.
i think it's a bonehead move by Ford, personally. If the KKK wanted them to stop advertising in Hispanic Magazine or Ebony, should they? the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT. it's the same for the G-L-B community.
just because something doesn't match your beliefs doesn't mean you should push your beliefs on other people. by Ford doing this, they are saying one side is right and one side is wrong. it's not only a bad PR move, it's bad business practice. now every special interest will be knocking their doors down to influence their business.

Everone is supposed to be straight, remember? They don't care if we are gay, as long as we act straight in public. And Divas are always women, didn't ya know?
Sorry...this post has absolutely nothing of value to contribute to the topic at hand. Carry on!

This is what happens when people can't just accept certain things are going to change. Women in the workplace! CRAZY! I like working with women 100% more than with guys. Thy are more interesting to talk to and they can also be very interesting to look at while you're working. Now I'll never want to participate in any fudgepackery, or turd burglary, but someone else wants to chase doo-doo or play pogo stick in the mud that's thier business. Thse guys are just biggots.
