It would be up to the conscience of the individual do decide if he/she
wishes to continue to do business with an organization which has openly
contributed to the homosexual community. Below is a brief description of
what AT&T has done in charity:

June 16, 1994: AT&T gives Major support to Gay Games IV and Cultural
Festival held in New York. Corporate sponsorship for the homosexual games to
at prices up to $250,000.

June 21-27, 1993, AT&T supported "Gay & Lesbian Awareness Week"

1991 Calendar of Events (AT&T) recognized for the month of June "Gay Pride
Week" and acknowledged contributions towards the event.

LEAGUE stands for Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay United Employees of AT&T
AT&T recognizes them as such.

August 24, 1994: AT&T calls on employees to help change laws making
homosexual marriages legal

Diversity Digest, a publication of AT&T Information Research Center, in an
article says "Corporate Officials Reach Out to Homosexual employees."

A video was made available to AT&T employees showing that homosexuality was ok.

10% Magazine, a homosexual publication , advertised for their people to
switch over to MCI and receive  25% savings when calling their friends or
family.

MCI affinity program with the National Gay and Lesbian Business Alliance
(NGLBA) offers discounts to gay, lesbian and supportive business owners
nationwide.

I have copies of these publications plus more in detail. This is why I
refuse to continue to do business with AT&T or MCI.
