VAN NUYS, Calif. - Pink Visual's gay adult division, Male Spectrum, has signed on as a sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign with an initial donation of $2,500 to assist in the organization's fight against discrimination.
"We feel it's important to give back whenever we can, and the HRC is a great cause that we believe in supporting," said Male Spectrum brand and product Manager Kim Kysar. "It's equal human rights for everyone, a very basic principle that should not be in debate.
"The HRC does amazing work, and we're thrilled they are open to our support and contributions," Kysar added.
Lea Busick, director of sales and marketing for Male Spectrum's subscription websites, said current judicial and legislative wrangling over oppressive laws like the one established by California's Proposition 8 makes it all the more urgent to support organizations like the HRC.
"With the continued battle for equal marriage rights playing out in the California Supreme Court, and specifically with the knowledge of special-interest groups pouring in money to keep GLBT equal rights from becoming reality, we at Male Spectrum feel there is more of a need than ever for people to stand up and show their support of equality for all,” Busick said.
"Our sponsorship of the HRC illustrates our commitment to helping assuage the hate and intolerance fostered by the conservative right and to advocate on issues of justice and fairness, including marriage, for the GLBT community," she added.
