TAKE ACTION: These rightwingers give me a headache...where's my Tylenol PM?

STAND UP TO THE RADICAL RIGHT AND THEIR THUGGISH WAYS!!!

Who knew it was the Lord wanted gays and lesbians to have headaches?
The wingnuts are at it again. This time they are targeting Tylenol PM because the product has been advertised in The Advocate.


Exhibit 1. The latest enemy of
the right wing, headache medicine


The Gay Financial Network reports that the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NLGCC) is not sitting idly by as the wackos hit hard:
NGLCC co-founder Justin Nelson put the religious right on notice that the recent uproar surrounding the marketing of Tylenol PM to the LGBT community would backfire and that religious conservative interest groups have reached a new level of ignorance and intolerance. "I didn't know headaches were only a straight thing," Nelson said tongue-in-cheek aboutthe latest tirade from the American Family Association (AFA).
...
Nelson stressed that the "stop at nothing mentality" to demonize the gay community is wearing thin on mainstream Americans. "

TAKE ACTION: TELL TYLENOL THAT THESE RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS DO NOT REPRESENT AMERICA.





When I spoke with the folks at Kraft, they said that our response made the employees feel great after the right wing attacked the Chicago-based food giant for supporting the Chicago Gay Games. Now it's time to show McNeil, Tylenol's manufacturer, we appreciate their advertising in gay publications..
