olde_fashioned"The American Family Association (AFA) launched the boycott yesterday because McDonald's joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce several months ago and placed an executive on the group's board of directors, in addition to donating to the chamber."
Are you sure you want to support gay marriage with your money? Because that is what McDonald's is doing with the profits that they make when you purchase their (not very tasty and not at all healthy) food. (and how come we can't have a Straight People Chamber of Commerce??)
No more iced coffees for me! ;-D
Note: I'm posting this for the benefit of those who would be grateful to learn about this boycott. If you're looking for a flame war, argument, or to push your pro-sodomite agenda, then please don't bother to comment. Comments will be screened and deleted if necessary.
(I'm also aware that McDonald's is not the only company guilty of this, so please don't start where-would-it-all-end-how-come-you're-not-boycotting-so-and-so-too. For the record, I still boycott Disney.)
The association asked McDonald's to remove itself from the chamber but the burger-maker declined, leading to the boycott. "We're saying that there are people who support AFA who don't appreciate their dollars from the hamburgers they bought being put into an organization that's going to fight against the values they believe in," Tim Wildmon, the association's president, said yesterday.
After meeting with Wildmon, the corporation refused to withdraw their support for the Chamber. "...In fact, McDonald's strongly told us that they are reaffirming their commitment".

Boycott McDonald's
I for one say Happy Meals are not that great anyway; certainly not enough to keep me from denying the radical and liberals who enjoy forcing homosexuality down our throats my money. They don't care what we think because they think we're insignificant (and I heard an "expert" say as much on the news tonight!) and we keep giving them our money, anyway. I say let's show them!! If they don't want to listen to us, then they don't need to enjoy the music of our money that they dance to all the way to the bank, either.

Date: 2008-07-06 10:38 pm (UTC)I am against hate crimes in all shapes and forms. I oppose violence and vandalism and things of that sort, and I believe it's wrong. However I do not think it is a hate crime to express opinions that a particular act or lifestyle is a sin, and to withhold one's financial support for those reasons.
I don't really care if they live together, because I do not think the government should tell us what we can and can't do in our own homes. I do object, however, to the efforts of the homosexual community to change the definition of marriage and shove their views down the throat of the rest of the American public. If this were to go to the voters, it would never come close to passing, not even for an instant, and I think they know that, and that's why they're attempting to skirt the public and appeal to the liberal judges.

I boycott Disney (and have for literally years) for similar behaviour as McDonald's. They have "Gay Days", promote and encourage such a lifestyle by attempting to indoctrinate innocent children.
