KRAFT’S “KRAZY” SPONSORSHIP OF GAY GAMES
Kraft foods is sponsoring the Gay Games. Why, when the national sexuality survey by the CDC shows gays miss work almost twice as frequently as non-gays? Why is Kraft encouraging a lifestyle that produces less productive employees?
Conducting talk show interviews on this touchy topic is Dr. Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute who headed the three-man team that published the heretofore unpublished CDC findings.
Said Dr. Cameron, “You’ve got to wonder whether Kraft is serving its shareholders. A major problem in American business is employee absenteeism. And here Kraft is spending money to support a lifestyle that makes absenteeism worse. Kraft shareholders ought to demand a change.”
In replying to those critical of Kraft’s decision, Marc Firestone, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Kraft Foods Inc., said At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it's nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recognizing, respecting and valuing these differences helps us be a more successful business and a workplace where all employees can realize their full potential."
Kraft owns Maxwell House, Post, Oscar Mayer and Nabisco brands, which account for almost 75% of the company's revenues The CDC study revealed that while the proportion of homosexuals working full-time was about the same as non-homosexuals, the work attendance of homosexuals was poorer. In any 30-day period, 34% of homosexuals, as opposed to 19% of non-homosexuals, missed at least one day of work. This tendency to miss work showed up among homosexuals of both sexes – 32% of homosexual men as opposed to 17% of non-homosexual men, and 36% of lesbians, as opposed to 22% of non-homosexual women.
Complete analysis of the CDC national sexuality survey appears in the June issue of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Psychological Reports.
