Tell Campbell's Soup to Condemn Anti-Gay Activities of its Partner Company Request Foods

The Issue

Campbell's Soup has a 10-year contract with a food business in Holland, Michigan known as Request Foods, which helps package and distribute prepared food items. But Request Foods also works hard to keep civil rights away from gays and lesbians in their community.

Request Foods has taken out a full page advertisement in their hometown of Holland, Michigan, to try and defeat a local law that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the town's nondiscrimination policy. In their ad, they accuse gay people of being psychologically disordered, suggest that people can spontaneously change their sexual orientation, and argue that gays and lesbians don't deserve civil rights because homosexuality is destructive to society.

Why would Campbell's Soup stand by a company like this?  Send the company a message urging them to denounce the anti-gay political work of Request Foods. And while we're at it, urge Campbell's -- which has received plaudits for its marketing and concern for the LGBT community -- to come out in favor of the Holland, Michigan anti-discrimination law.  It would be tragic if Request Foods and their work to demonize gays and lesbians continued to tarnish the reputation of a business like Campbell's.
