Tell Veterinarian to Remove Anti-Gay Sign!
A study from GLCensus Partners shows that gays and lesbians are 10% more likely to own pets than the general population, but a Texas vet chose to alienate his LGBT clients and staff with a hateful sign outside his practice.
Dr. Jody Kincaid is displaying a message on a sign in front of Anthony Animal Clinic that says, "The GLBT [sic] Agenda is Bad for America." In response, an openly gay staff member quit his job.
A veterinary practice is not a place to make inflammatory statements that alienate a significant percentage of potential clients. Gays and lesbians don't come to a veterinary clinic to advertise their sexuality or ask for validation of their lifestyle. They simply come to care for their pets. Unfortunately, Dr. Kincaid's hateful sign may discourage some from giving their pets the care they need. Please sign the petition to urge Dr. Kincaid to focus on helping animals at his practice instead of promoting inflammatory political views.
We, the undersigned, are concerned about the message you chose to display outside your practice. We understand that the sign says, "The GLBT Agenda is Bad for America." We understand that an openly gay staff member already quit his job as a result of that sign.
