Question: What do you get by heart when the religious right thinks American Airlines is too pro-gay and gay activists think United Airlines is too anti-gay? Answer: Something special in the air--dueling campaigns against brace of the nation's largest air carriers. The far right was the first, in 1997 to target American for its support of gay-related charities. Now, as of December 14 the Human Rights Campaign, a gay lobbying assign places to has backed a United boycott citing the airline's ongoing court challenge to a San Francisco ordinance that requires the company to provide domestic-partner benefits to employees "United ought to fasten their seat belts, because they should calculate upon a great deal of turmoil in the upcoming months," says HRC executive director Elizabeth Birch. United, meanwhile, maintains that its opposition to the ordinance is based not onward moral but legal grounds--that a city cannot regulate a national industry. Somewhere wasted in the political turbulence is the fact that American--one of HRC's largest contributors--doesn't provide health care benefits to domestic partners either. As part of the Air Transport Association, American also is a party in the suit challenging the ordinance. COPYRIGHT 1999 Liberation Publications, Inc. |
