No on Prop 8
October 24, 2008
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.

K-Y® Brand Pledges $200,000 to the GLBT National Help Center

Three-year commitment helps fund critical support resource and signals an increase in the brand’s gay philanthropy and marketing


Skillman, NJ (October 17, 2006) -- K-Y® Brand announced today that it will donate $200,000 over the next three years to the GLBT National Help Center, a non-profit organization best known for operating the Gay and Lesbian National Hotline. The organization is a critical support resource for the GLBT community and for those questioning their sexuality. The donation is largest in the organization’s ten-year history and makes K-Y® Brand the first-ever corporate sponsor.

The donation will be used specifically for special projects that are designed to help more people learn about the organization's services, to grow its vast resource database and to enhance the community's ability to contact the Help Center. “This gift from K-Y® brand along with the continuing support from individual donors will enable us to better meet the increasing demands for our services,” said Brad Becker, executive director of the GLBT National Help Center. “We’re thrilled to be working with K-Y®, a brand that supports our mission and cares deeply about the health and well-being of the GLBT community.”

The Help Center has been providing the information and support that people need to make healthy life choices. “Despite greater gay visibility in today’s society, many men and women still do not have a safe place where they can ask questions and talk openly about the issues they are dealing with,” said Becker. “In fact, the number of calls to the Help Center’s hotlines has grown each year. For this reason I can’t overstate the positive impact this donation will have on our organization moving forward.”

“K-Y® Brand has a long history of supporting the GLBT community and we’re proud to continue this tradition with the GLBT National Help Center,” said Danny Weiss of Personal Products Company, makers of K-Y® Brand products. The brand has been active in the community since 1998 and is gearing up to have an even greater presence in the months and years ahead through both charitable support and dedicated gay marketing for new products.

“Supporting organizations that are important to the GLBT community and providing gay couples with product innovations that can enhance relationships are a key objective for us,” said Weiss. “Gay men and lesbians have been loyal to K-Y® Brand for decades and we appreciate and value them as consumers.”

In addition to the cash donation, K-Y® Brand will run advertising for the organization and will hold promotional events in various markets across the country. Marketing support will also continue through 2009. This donation along with additional marketing support will go a long way to help the GLBT National Help Center fulfill its mission.
