Levis Gives A Nice Chunk Of Change to NO ON 8
Levi Strauss and Co. is joining the battle to strike down California's discriminatory Prop 8, which seeks to deny gays and lesbians the right to marry.
The forward-thinking jean company had donated $25,000 to Equality for All, the coalition leading the No On 8 campaign.
In doing so, Levi's continues its tradition of civil rights support. In the 1940s, the company ceased the practice of segregation within its factories and more recently the company was one of the first Fortune 500 company to offer health benefits to the domestic partners of its unmarried employees.
This latest move is just the next stop in Levi's commitment to equality and marriage for all.
Besides their own support, the company also pledged to persuade other companies to follow suit!
In giving, Levi's joins two labor unions, the California Council of Service Employees, and the California Teachers Association, each has given $250,000. Telecommunications company AT&T has given $25,000.
And the support doesn't end there!
On Thursday, a Southern California-based business advocacy group also announced its opposition to Proposition 8. The board of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA) represents businesses in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles!
Celebrities such as Steven Spielberg and Brad Pitt have already been voicing their support for No On 8 and now businesses are getting involved.
Keep it going! And remember to cast your vote in November!

Re: LettyB – Easy access, NICE!
I AM SNIFFING MY PERMANENT MARKERS! NO JD AROUND!
I don't get why 10 years after 2000 we still debating on stupid things like this one. If you are anti-gay marriage then don't be gay and don't get married. But you sick limited visions shouldn't penalize the different visions in society because that does not fucking affect you what soever. There is a looney around here skyshit or something that keeps posting on YES to prop 8 on gay blog site?. Pshyco bitch reveals she lives in San Francisco and she is social worker.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? I though vocation for being a social worker was to help people. And the bitch says she is right wing and conservative and very religious. The insane woman just a little satanic agenda driven by Lucifer itself on her bag pack. And yet she is supposed to serve society in San Francisco. All that cause I do know she might appear posting here.
Social Conservatism + Extreme Religion = The terrorist of America. For me they can all dropped dead as long they don't learn to leave in peace and loving life.
Re: harrysnatch – grrr

Ok I don't care if gays want to have a civil union or whatever but don't call it a marriage because now when I go to fill out a marriage license I get to put my name under Partner A or Partner B not wife, and my fiance is not happy about this either. The gays are ruining my marriage license and are ruining marriage all together. F*ck the gays and VOTE YES ON PROP 8!!!
KNOB KNOCKER!
i don't understand those jeans… but yes, definitely NO on prop 8 :]

Re: WhiteGirl – you are an idiot. happy divorce you miserable cunt. it's going to rain on your wedding day…karma
Re: WhiteGirl – Oh my God.. what a fucking useless Witch you are. And I am not going to be nice in the topic. With a bitch like you none would last married 2 months and that's what you have ahead.
Dumbass, your marriage certificate is just a useless paper that has no meaning and if any, only for legal purpose which is what we are fucking after. Don't be a good person and wife and keep the love alive between you too so you will see what is a ruined marriage. Me and Partner have a relationship for years that you wish to have but by only reading the disgusting shit you debate YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE IT.
I wish you a horrid union, divorce in less than month, a cursed son or daughter (if the case is that you are able to have any) or a hermaphrodite as first son or daughter would do the trick, an abusing husband that leaves you for someone with more values and I wish you suffering piece of shit, the world is better without people like you.
I have had it with these people. Bashing is Fucking ON
WOOHOO!
GO LEVISSSS! excellent!
Re: Swimstud –
and uh, YEAH! I got 3 pairs of Levis Skinny jeans, original 511s. Red, Black and Brown. Niice jeans. got them at U.Outfiters.
Re: WhiteGirl –
shut up egocentric bitch.
So stupid that u still cant get married just beacuse you are gay…I didnt know USA was still living in the 50s..
Re: WhiteGirl – stfu you whore
Fred and Larry get married in CA. but couldn't afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred's Mom and Dad's house for their first married night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mom if Fred and Larry are up yet. She replies, 'No'. Johnny asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to school.' Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, 'Are Fred and Larry up yet?' She replies, 'No.' Johnny says, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school ' After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, 'Are Fred and Larry up yet?' His mom says, 'No.' He asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'Ok, now tell me what you think?' He says: 'Last night Fred came to my room for the Vaseline and I think… I gave him my airplane glue.
Re: peace112 – tell me about it.. right win wants that. No thinker ignorant zombies that just praise God, the rich and Corporations. It's the just greatest invention after slavery, right here in the land of the free. I mean it, these people needs to fucking evolute and leave the rest of Americans live in fucking peace.
How does hating gays make me a whore hmmm interesting well i'm still voting YES on Prop 8 because God hates gays and I do too!
Re: WhiteGirl – Then get the hell off this Gay man's web site you cunt! Don't you have a KKK meeting or something!
Re: WhiteGirl – Last time I check the God of hate has several names. Bersebu, Satan, Lucifer, you name it. And that's what bless your marriage fucking bitch. Dissapear!
Re: WhiteGirl – You surely have one of those experiences where you still in love with a guy who dumped you over another guy.
Let it go bitch!! I would normally say it was not about you, the guy was just into guys. But you cunt would make any man turn gay cause you are just a piece of shit.
Re: WhiteGirl – I have to ask….what does it matter how it is worded on a marriage license? As soon as you fill it out and hand it over to the registrar's office (with the required fee, of course), you never see it again, anyway. And, it's not as though you will be deemed a 'partner' on the actual marriage certificate, after you get married.
Re: Leona$ Gho$t – TFF, LG! That was a good one.
Thanks for the info Perez, I will never by Levis again and I am firing off hard letters right now to express my dissapointment at them picking the side of sodomites and child molesters. When you "people" get your way, there won't be a kid in America with any innocence left inside of them. You "people" will go to no limits to try to make yourselfs feel normal and not the sick and disturbed "people" that you really are.
I wish I had the money to donate. Being brokes a bitch. But im definitely voting NO on 8. I have to many friends that deserve the same rights that I have with my husband. They should be just as happy as every one else no matter what they feel.
Re: gypjet – lmao! So be it fucking bastard. I have had it with people like you. Your specie is less and less day for a formidable and better world full of world and humanity. Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and don't get me started allow gay marriage and yet last time I checked people seems to be very educated and kids still very innocent there. Maybe you should go and check and verify with your eyes and your head full of ignorance that nothing absolutely nothing change for families, if something more acceptance for a better world.
Re: WhiteGirl –
so don't be so damn selffish they have a right,
it's runing their LIFE by not letting them marry.
Re: gypjet –
you ignorant dumb-ass how are they child molesters,
your fucking priests are the one molesting kids and normal people.
Think about it everything and everyone in this world is sick. The children have already lost their innocence on the crap on tv and the news, the gay bashing what how do you think that makes them think act or feel? ignorant bitch, i hope it becomes approved. then i'll get my friends to send you lovely homesexual letters.
Re: gypjet – Levi Strauss was founded about 155 years ago….I seriously doubt that any "hard letters' from you, will create a hardship for them. But, good luck with that.
Here's hoping that someone at Levi's asks you the pertinent question…."If you are SO opposed to homosexuals, then WHY do you log onto a gay man's website?"
Re: gypjet – And nothing more disturbed than fighting so hard in saying YES to a law that has nothing to do with you. If there weren't for people like you there were no need to vote on this crap.
Now, from my very fucking experienced life in the matter cause read it and I hope your eyes bleed when u do, I am gay since I remember myself exists. My first kiss was with a boy and I have never had sex with any woman!. From that experience I do know that people like you who works so hard in banning rights to us is just cause are in majority closeted homos and the worst ones.
The ones you find cruissing for sex with others guys before arriving home to have dinner with their beloved family. The ones that his wife goes on vacation and hunt online someone to have sex with them while their kids are sleeping room next door. That kind, closeted fag, coward! And since you hate yourself so much for having those feelings you feel the world should stop having civilized unions, true expressions of love and family cause it's just so much what you would really love to do with your life.
Kill yourself pathetic bastard, you'll make a favor to the world!
Re: WhiteGirl – You are joking right? TRe: WhiteGirl – You are going on a gay mans website and writing ignorant homophobic shit? That makes about as much sense as your post.
Re: erhg74 – If my opinion bothers you so much, ignore it. That is the same logic you are spewing. "Scroll down" as Perez says. You homos know that you are doing wrong and that is why you are so defensive. You know you are mentally ill, that is why you are so pro-active in trying to make yourselves appear more normal. You know you are making a bad choice when you chose to be queer, so that is why you get so mad because you are like a child who cannot stand to be told what to do. I bet you hated your parents when they would not let you have your way. Being a homo is just a modern way of getting back at all those people who did not give you enough hugs. Life is not always fair so deal with it.
Re: gypjet – I have always loved my parents very much and I had a adorable childhood that I thank God for have given such intelligent parents. And you know what? I am not doing any wrong. And parents did not think I was doing wrong. In fact they said to me when I came out "We know and we are proud of you no matter what" and that's what it's called love.
You see I had a life probably double difficult that you had. Cause the problem wasn't my family. The problem was assholes like you who kept telling me all I was doing was wrong. And this is waste of time having a rational conversation with you cause you need to evolute.
I just can tell you "FUCK YOU" and wish that you die drop dead. Cause when you vote yes, God above is going to ask you why you hate and I do know he is on my side, our side, and have had spiritual awakenings in life way more challenging that what you can think and I do know my God is made out of love not hate.
Bitch!
Re: erhg74 – That is a sweet story and probably all false, but it is very interesting that you blamed your problem on others. Being homosexual has been wrong for a very long time and you know that, and just because you and all of your buddies are getting together to force it on everyone else, it will never be RIGHT. Just because you say it is ok to be queer does not make it so. You all know this too, and that is why your kind have been forever operating in the shadows. It is not "other people's" fault that you experience supposed hardships, it is yours for making a poor choice and just because your family pats you on the back and says they love you, does not mean anyone else should. Maybe when you get real lonely, you can adopt a baby and have someone to love you no matter what?! It just does not stop with you people, you constantly give it away that you are miserable and self-hating "people". You are not normal and you never will be so quit trying to fool yourself. How about spending some of that energy on fixing yourself and actually doing what you were put here to do?!?!??!?!?!?!? Such a loathsome bunch you are.
That is great to hear!
Re: gypjet – lmao.. Dude, what are u even doing in this blog? I love it, you know.. You just show and share yourself and your radical and ancient views and all the hate you have to share to world in the name of God.. how the fuck do you think you are to even believe that you have a grasp of what it right or wrong? at least have some responsibility and state that YOU THINK IT'S WRONG cause many people will disagree with you.
You know the only thing that you are doing by spreading you hate here in Perez? raising the concern and bringing more and more people who lives in CA and totally disagree with your crazy views to the world to vote NO. So good luck bitch. Your specie is in extinction for the good of humanity.
I'm going out to buy a new pair of Levis tomorrow. That's a fantastic American company for you. Vote Obama in November!
Re: erhg74 – Since you and other liberals LOVE to get in my face and tell me and my family how I should think and feel, I think it is my duty to reach out and let you people know a few things since all you ever hear is your own affirmations. If you don't like me being here and in your face telling you things that you don't want to hear, then suck it. This is a situation that you people have created and I promise that I have way more resolve then you do. I operate on morals and you operate on hate and darkness. How does it feel?
Look, I love all gays. male & female, but marriage is not a "right." Nothing in the constitution guarantees anyone a right to get married. (not even heteros)
the definition of marriage is man plus woman, period. You can Have exactly the same rights, spousal benefits, insurance, tax credit, whatever, but it's NOT marriage. WHY do you insist it being called marriage? a spoon is a spoon and a fork is a fork why do you have to change the definition of a fork so that a spoon can be a fork too? so long as they get the same equal rights, I don't care, but a female is not a male just because she demands equal rights and a male is not a female because they have the same rights. shit, so annoying how it has to be called "MARRIAGE". Just like gay isn't hetero and hetero isn't gay, marriage is not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. call it something different.
No one is "anti-gay marriage"–YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL MARRIAGE SOMETHING THAT it IS NOT. stop trying to change the definition of something. that's what pisses everyone off. no one hates gays. no one denies gays anything. I love gay men! (and I know some nice lesbians) it just so happens most of us believe marriage = man + woman. what if all of a sudden I started calling a man + a woman = gay? you would say, "No, that's not the definition of gay." I would say, but that's discrimination. who says what gay is? I say it's discrimination not to call me gay. that's it. now I'm going to start calling myself gay. even though I'm hetero.
civil unions=yes
equal rights=yes
marriage=man+woman
gay=man+man
or
gay=woman+woman
heterosexual=man+woman
marriage=man+woman
civil union = man+ man or woman+woman (same rights) (don't change the name)
Re: nuh uh – man plus woman = where are you taken the language for this definition from?
the bible? good luck with that?
uh uh..
where is the clear separation of church and state? take some responsability and say that is your own very personal definition of marriage.
Re: nuh uh – Look, I remember a training explaining something called "interum" reality. It's second level of what is real for us. Whether common knowledge or what we believe is common knowledge becomes reality, which is not necessary real. Kinda in ancient times "the world is flat" was reality and if you said otherwise you would be called crazy (I am not contrasting any of your assertions with this statement). The danger is that when you reach a group of people you can create the ilusion of the level of things being real.
I have 100 problems when you state "just so happens most of us believe marriage = man + woman" cause you just don't take any responsability for your belief. You should say "most of the people that I know" that might be very few people, cause if your were out to dig more realize that most of the people don't care.
Told you in Argentina, Belgium, Spain and many countries have equal civil rights for gay/straight, etc. rights that covered from healthcare, taxes even inmigration and in this societies no ones is harm by this, if something only benefit. No innocence has been lost. People is just fine and if something more acceptance, and nothing demonic or satanic going on (maybe demonic and satanic going on here inside the church of the many jerks who express hate against gay). So "most of the people" is something that is difficult to state and be responsible when you talk and do it in first person.
Re: nuh uh – And not to disrespect your views but who cares about the wording. What is important is the right.
not like them.
Who knew Levi Strauss was so gay. Now their jeans just seem……creepy.

Re: gypjet – You are such a fucking asshole!!
This is how you think! It's so supposed to be sarcastic! If you don't know what that means go search in the bible!
…
Being gay isn't natural! (Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.)
…
Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets (because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract).
…
Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. (Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.)
…
Gay marriage is not supported by religion. (In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed upon the whole country, which is why we only have one religion here in America.)
…
Gay marriage will change the foundation of our society. (We could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.)
…
Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children (since straight parents only raise straight children).
In all my years, of living, I have NEVER…
lost a job promotion/raise, been turned down for a bank loan, been sexually abused, been forced to partake drugs or alcohol, been told that I am only allowed to reside in certain areas , been forced to relinquish a bus/airline seat, been told that I am only allowed to fall in love and marry a certain type of person, been told that I can not enter a restaurant/bar, been told that I am not wanted on a sports team or been told that I have to conceive a child by natural intercourse….by ANY homosexual. And, I am quite sure that I am not the only hetero who has NOT 'lost their innocence', by growing up amidst homosexuals.
I find it appalling that those who quote the Bible, regarding marriage and homosexuality, only cite the scriptures that suit their needs and agenda….but, totally disregard the Golden Rule. You all know the one, right? The rule that starts off with "Do unto others…".
Re: xXTOMXx – I find it very disturbing that you are using a photo of a baby in your avatar. Is that someone you dram of having sex with? I bet you like little babies that are helpless in your fantasy.
Re: gypjet – Evil can only be acknowledge in someone else by acknowledging before in your mind. And I find disturbing your comment cause it would have never occurred to me. I like men, not babies, maybe that's the reason.
The only fact that a though like that cross your sick mind (fucker!) is just because you are very sick up in the head, capable of coming up with something as disturbing as what you state. Sick fucker! now I wish you dead.
Re: gypjet – I don't do the stuff you do asshole!! It's pretty pathetic of you that you couldn't think of any other reasons, facts or lies why gay marriage should be banned! You just insult me like the little child you are! Keep dreaming about a 100% straight world, cause that dream won't ever come true!
If I lived in Cali, I'd be voting NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!! It shouldn't be up to the government to tell people who they can and can't marry! Grrrrr!
EQUALITY!!! FIGHT FOR IT!
Re: LisaGLicious – Amen!
Re: xXTOMXx – And since your avatar is a horse, do you like to have sex with horses?? Asshole!!
