GoodWill Industries of North Central Wisconsin is helping sponsor an event for LGBTQ youth which is a celebration of 15 years of the GLBT Partnership. The Partnership is a youth group that meets and provides support to teens who identify as LGBT and their allies. GoodWill helps by sponsoring space for those meetings.
And now a local “family voice” is encouraging their supporters to call GoodWill and complain about this programming. I won’t give this person the traffic by actually linking to him, but I’ve copied some of the text below so you can see exactly what you’re dealing with. On the same page, they provide the numbers and contact info for the people at both GoodWill and Kimberly Clark. (If you absolutely must see the page for yourself, email me & I’ll send it to you that way.)
So here’s what we need to do.
- call or email:
- Thomas J. Falk, Chairman/CEO of Kimberly-Clark, 920-721-2000, or Media.Relations@kcc.com, or use their on-line form HERE
and/or - GOODWILL INDUSTRIES, webmaster@gwicc.org,1-800-482-0030
- Thomas J. Falk, Chairman/CEO of Kimberly-Clark, 920-721-2000, or Media.Relations@kcc.com, or use their on-line form HERE
- donate to the LGBT partnership
- spread the word by posting this info on your blog, Facebook, etc.
What I want to see is support for these teenagers. Too many local LGBTQ teens have taken their own lives, & the GLBT Partnership is a real light against this kind of homophobia. Do help if you can, in whatever way you can.
Below is the text of the person who is getting people to call these groups & discourage this event AND the LGBT teens. We need to outnumber them. Continue reading “GoodWill’s LGBT Programming Needs Your Support”
