Buycott Project will identify gay-friendly businesses

In response to drastic increases in the instances of reported harassment and discrimination in the workplace since the exclusion of sexual orientation from Cincinnati's Human Rights Ordinance, Stonewall Cincinnati officially launched the Buycott Project at its June 27 quarterly membership meeting.

The Buycott Project is designed to identify businesses and organizations that have anti-discrimination policies that prevent discrimination against employees and customers or members on the basis of race, gender, age, color, religion, disability status, marital status, sexual orientation, or ethnic, national, or Appalachian regional origin. A listing of those who have agreed or refused to sign the survey will also be made public and distributed, so that individuals can use this tool as they decide which businesses to patronize and which organizations to support.

"We believe that the majority of the people of Cincinnati do not wish to see gays, lesbians, or bisexuals fired from their jobs, lose their housing, or face harassment or violence," said Stonewall Cincinnati director Cindy L. Abel. "The views of the radical right cannot be allowed to make hostages of the fair-minded citizens of our city, by silencing the voices of tolerance and rejecting the basic values of our society, such as recognition of individual dignity and respect for others. We look forward to working with the many individuals and organizations in Cincinnati that believe in and promote human rights for all people."

Buycott Project materials, such as survey cards, and "thank you” cards (to be given by customers when frequenting an establishment on the Project listings handbook) will

be available for volunteers to take and distribute at area places of business.

Stonewall Cincinnati will also present an overview of the Anti-Discrimination Project, which serves to document instances of discrimination, harassment, and violence as experienced by lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, as well as provide referrals and assistance as desired.
