According to the AFA, Procter & Gamble was an active promoter of the Homosexual Agenda until recently. Donald Wildmon, chairman of American Family Association, stated, ?Judging by all we found in our research, it appears that our concerns have been addressed, insofar as we can tell by our monitoring, P&G has stopped their sponsorship of TV programs promoting the homosexual lifestyle, such as ?Will and Grace,? and they have stopped their sponsorship of homosexual Internet sites.?
