Exxon-Mobil Continues to Fuel Discrimination Against LGBT People

Once they finally adopt a non-discrimination policy including GLBT I still won't do business with them because of their attitude towards them.

I have not bought their gas or shopped in their stores now for several years because of this. We as a group should spend our $$ with people who treat us fairly and avoid those who don't.

The HRC rates lots of companies. Some of these are a little surprising.

I also have not bought their gas for years. I used to be a regular customer of Mobil. When Exxon bought Mobil I stopped and I wrote them to explain why. To my surprise, they had a publicist send a thoughtful, although clueless, reply defending their viewpoint. I can respect them for replying - but not, ultimately, for the logic of their position. Wrong is wrong. I buy my gas anywhere but from them.

Well, as much as I love my charge cards, I guess this will be the nail in their coffin so-to speak. I've taken them out of our wallets and put them out of service and will not conduct any furhter business with them. I haven't used them much in quite some time as they're a bit high on their gas, but I will either use my other gas cards or continue to to purchase at the of named or better yet Costco as they are usually the cheapest.

Vasaline is a petro by product, a boycott could be a painful ordeal for your community!

Not really when most of us use KY. Vaseline eats latex condoms. Remember?

Vasaline is too greasy and leaves such a "hard to clean" residue. Either way, there are plenty other gas companies to get ga from so a boycott would hardly cause us any worry...

You are really a dope. I have never met anyone who uses Vaseline as a lubricant for anal sex. Besides the other issues mentioned, I was taught, way back before AIDS even, that Vaseline can cause sores and tumors in the rectum. Probably not good for the vagina either - hope you don't use this stuff on your wife!

In addition to their obnoxiousness to the gay community, they never paid up for the Valdez disaster.

Exxon-Mobile is so evil in so many ways that I avoid their gas stations and their products. BP is a bit better or I buy Holiday gasoline, which is locally produced and has a higher ethanol content.

My boycott of Exxon-Mobile (and LukOil) continues for those reasons!

LOL

I don't believe them.

There's an old cop movie, The Detective, with Frank Sinatra, where the cops came upon these giant water bottles filled with vaseline, and Frank and the other cops say, "Who the h*** would do this?"

LMAO

Being a WASP, I've never used olive oil for food or drink.
