Welcome to Paul and Matt's Place

What can YOU do?



VOTE!


If you want to make a difference in the quality of your life and the lives around you, you must vote. We are members of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). This organization lobbies for our political agendas, such as:

We urge you to visit this site. HRC provides members with critical data on political candidates and issues. This is the place where you should do your homework before voting.

We have some very strong views when it comes to politics but have decided to withhold them from this page. Sometime in the future we will be creating a page where you can view our opinion on politics. We are not activists but we realize that people are being led astray and are being made fools of. The general working class population is being fed lies by "moral" leaders, who are nothing more than showmen with political kickbacks. only YOU can end the discrimination & hatred that is part of the radical right wing agenda.

Vote.

If you know of any companies that should be listed here, please let us know.



And of course we are keeping track of the Not-So-Nice places. We have just started this, so if you know of any companies that should be listed in this category, please let us know.


Red Lobster - Here is a story of a man getting fired just because he was gay. A court ruled that his termination was illegal. The owners of Red Lobster (and the Olive Garden) are actually fighting for the right to terminate somebody's employment simply because they are gay. In some parts of the USA, this is perfectly legal. A person or business can claim that a gay "lifestyle" is contrary to someone's religious beliefs and therefore that person can be refused housing, credit or employment. Of course, based on this premise, an employer could terminate a Jehovah's Witness, a Muslim, a Buddhist or a Jewish person, right?
