] The American Family Association, of Tupelo, Miss., and
] Focus on the Family, based in Colorado Springs, Colo.,
] said they urged their supporters this week to refuse to
] buy Crest toothpaste and Tide detergent, two of P&G's
] biggest selling products.
]
] P&G spokesman Doug Shelton said the organizations have
] wrongly characterized the company's support of repealing
] a Cincinnati charter amendment to mean that it is
] supporting same-sex marriage.
]
] P&G has given $10,000 in support of a Nov. 2 ballot issue
] for repeal of a 1993 city charter amendment that forbids
] Cincinnati to enact or enforce laws based on sexual
] orientation. P&G said it believes the amendment makes it
] harder to attract visitors and potential employees to
] Cincinnati and that it subjects gay people to potential
] discrimination in workplaces and housing.
