Thaddeus Balinski reports at LifeSiteNews.com:

At its annual shareholder meeting this week, the world's largest oil company, ExxonMobil, rejected a proposal demanding changes to its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy that would have granted special rights to homosexual employees.

The proposal, voted down by 81 percent of ExxonMobil's shareholders on May 30 read, "The Shareholders request that ExxonMobil amend its written equal employment opportunity policy to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and to substantially implement the policy."

"This vote marks the 14th year in a row that the company has refused to cave in to the demands of gay activists for special rights for homosexuals," LifeSiteNews reports. "ExxonMobil said it already prohibits 'all forms of discrimination' and 'believes the proposal is unnecessary'."

In point of fact, saying "no" to homosexualist aggression against the verifiable Creator's liberating and protective norms for human sexuality and married life is not discrimination, but rather, sanity and a mark of intelligence.

In addition, civil rights that are real civil rights are rooted in the same Creator who is the source of unalienable human rights, a source that the defining mainstream of American form and freedom has long respected (see the Declaration of Independence).  

Any "civil right" that is alienated from the Author of unalienable human rights is actually an attack on human freedom and human dignity. Such attacks may use the language of rights, but they in fact reject the true basis of those rights. The result is relativism and statism, not human freedom and dignity. 

Exxon is to be commended for wanting to be a good corporate citizen -- and to do so, it needs intentionally to base its practice of good corporate citizenship upon the only known adequate foundation for human rights and human dignity. That happens to be the Creator (who is verifable and not a matter of blind faith) and not the state or any particular activist group or agenda that depises and discriminates against that self-same Creator and against those who respect a life of love and truth in community with God and man.
