Id venture to say that ford in some brainstorming sessions considered consumers like yourself and what the adverse effect would be.. they figure maybe they could steal more business from the japs than loose of the ford clan..

I bought a horizontal Band saw last friday and ordered the tube bender too. It should be here next wed. The CNC mill is looking better with the rain mellowing out, but nothing is in writing yet. The shop is filling up with Jetmoto's though.

my guess is Ford (and ALL the others) are trying to remain politically correct and keep ALL their potential market shares/groups happy. nobody is gonna wanna be seen as homo-phobic, but they probably don't realize some of the conflicts it creates. Personally, I'd ignore it.
