Gold's Gym Gives Money to Karl Rove Political Organization

I believe that the LGBT community needs to use its considerable purchasing power to punish companies who support anti-gay politicians. A new boycott target has emerged in the form of Gold's Gym - the chain's parent company's CEO has donated $2 million to Karl Rove's toxic "American Crossroads." Less anyone forget, Rove was the architect of Chimperator Bush's anti-gay rhetoric and also encouraged Christianists to get anti-gay initiatives on the ballot in 2004 to bring out the wingnut vote to re-elect the Chimperator. I hope members of the LGBT community will avoid Gold's like the plague and that those who expiring memberships will find a new gym that doesn't endorse anti-gay bigots like Karl Rove. Here are highlights from The Advocate:
*
Robert Rowling, the CEO of the company that owns Gold's Gym, has donated more than $2 million to American Crossroads, Karl Rove's organization that works to elect anti-gay politicians, according to website Change.org.
*
Among the candidates supported by American Crossroads are Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who received a 0% rating from the Human Rights Campaign and Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle, who endorsed a statement that said there was no evidence to suggest homosexuality was biological and that scientists who argue otherwise are flawed.

Change.org suggests signing a petition to encourage Gold's Gym to stop supporting anti-gay politicians, which can be done by clicking here.
