General Motors’ Gay-Friendly Move Causes Some Chafing

[William769]

A rainbow-colored piece of cloth flapping atop a Fort Wayne, Ind. truck factory is drawing attention to General Motors Co.

A GM plant there raised the flag on Sunday in honor of gay pride month. The plant’s manager rolled out the banner at the request of an employee group representing gay workers, the company said.

It’s GM’s latest gay-friendly display. Earlier this month it transformed the LED-display atop its Detroit headquarters into a rainbow in honor of the city’s annual gay pride celebration. GM also published a gay-themed ad for its Chevy Volt battery powered car, featuring the car “coming out” to its more traditional parents. “So, whatever revs your engine, we support you 100%” said the ad, which ran in a Michigan newspaper aimed at the gay community.

In Fort Wayne, not everyone is thrilled with the display.
