A boycott of Ford products is currently in place.  It was organized by the [[American Family Association]] because of the company's advertising within gay and lesbian media. Sales of Ford products have declined since the boycott began; however, some believe that this decline could likely be attributed to economic conditions not associated with the boycott.<ref>http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/01/group_says_boycott_adding_to_f.php</ref><ref>http://www.boycottford.com/</ref>
