While I am not LGBT myself, I have great appreciation for Campbell's support of diversity, which extends well beyond this ad campaign.<BR/><BR/>Campbell's sponsors an employee affinity network called "OPEN" for LGBT employees. Our employee newsletter recently featured several employees from the "OPEN" network telling their stories about coming out in the workplace and to their parents. Campbell's received a perfect 100 on a recent third-party audit in large measure because it provides full benefits to domestic partners. Diversity is front and center in our annual report every year.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your support and keep buying Swanson Broths and Canned Chicken, Campbell Soups, V8 Beverages and Soups, Prego Pasta Sauce, Pace Picante Sauce and Pepperidge Farm and Arnott's Cookies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-2093183619068371022009-01-01T01:11:00.000-05:002009-01-01T01:11:00.000-05:00While I never really liked Campbell's (sorry, my f...While I never really liked Campbell's (sorry, my family makes homemade soup), I will let them know their awesome for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-30300972980039979022008-12-31T12:28:00.000-05:002008-12-31T12:28:00.000-05:00QU - I tried sending an email but just kept gettin...QU - I tried sending an email but just kept getting the message "Result: No CAPTCHA was viewed" so...<BR/><BR/>I just want to check a couple of things before I post the buycott story on my blog.<BR/><BR/>First - is QU calling for the buycott?<BR/><BR/>Second - did you coin the word "buycott"<BR/><BR/>Please reply by email (stevekrotz@cox.net) ASAP.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your help,<BR/>SteveSteve Krotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496078896515900626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-36595893500692136892008-12-30T23:10:00.000-05:002008-12-30T23:10:00.000-05:00Also consider donating Campbells products to local...Also consider donating Campbells products to local food banks for the needy to increase our impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-72362152689973953622008-12-30T18:46:00.000-05:002008-12-30T18:46:00.000-05:00Thanks Steve, with the thousands of emails they ar...Thanks Steve, with the thousands of emails they are getting from angry wingnuts, we gotta pitch in our 2 cents of thanks.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-77990040907995116222008-12-30T18:39:00.000-05:002008-12-30T18:39:00.000-05:00Great campaign idea Q.U. - I heard about this but ...Great campaign idea Q.U. - I heard about this but haven't had the time yet to look into it a little deeper.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info - I'll be posting this on my blog tomorrow.
