"You may have heard the American Family Association has begun a campaign to
have KODAK un-endorse Lambda (the gay and lesbian employee network at Kodak).
the phones have been ringing constantly since, the article appeared in the
Wanderer. a religious magazine of the Catholic church with circulation of over
2,000,000. As of Monday (3/22) the company stood behind the diversity program,
thanked the callers for their call, and said management would be advised of the
concern. Today (3/24) CEO Kay Whitmore is reviewing the situation and will be
issuing a new response for the customer service folks. This could be a major
turning point for us here at Kodak. it is important that Kodak knows
gays/lesbians use Kodak film.
The article misquoted many things, and has associated us with NAMBLA.
(NAMBLA`s slogan is...sex before 8 before it's too late). Not good!!!!
One additional note - the newsletter incorrectly infers that the Lambda
network is associated with an outside organization known as NAMBLA. This is
incorrect. Kodak or the Lambda network do not support, endorse or associate in
any way with NAMBLA."
Please call their customer service hotline at 1-800-242-2424 to leave a brief
message saying you use Kodak products and you SUPPORT Kodak`s position of
allowing the gay and lesbian network. Or you can write to them at EASTMAN
KODAK COMPANY, 343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650.
