UPDATE: Bye Bye "Gay" Ronald McDonald ~ AFA Urges members to Boycott McDonalds over Corporate Promotion of Same Sex marriage.

I haven't eaten that crap in years, but I'll be happy to continue not eating there.

*yawn*

The AFA have once again taken on the role of genital police and overstated their own influence. Wow. Breaking news.

Hey if McDonalds wants to promote same sex marriage, AFA and their members have the right to not purchase their products.

It will be up to McDonalds to decide if being "political" is worth the impact to their bottom line, whether that be negligible or substantial. Only they will know and time will tell.

In the mean time, Carl Jr and Burger King pick up the winfall.

Apparently it made a hell of an impact on Ford or they would have told them to take a hike.

fat ass america will never give up their mcdonalds!

i would like to anally rape that grimace character.

You forgot your link, but judging where it comes from, I can see why you 'forgot' it.

WorldNet Daily... ZzZzZz...

Isn't that the job of the Cheeseburgler?

nah, the hamburgler typically plays the bitch to ronald. grimace is usually just sitting in the corner watching.

i never will forget the first time i got a boner. it was on the mcdonalds playground and i was shaking about in the grimace cage. it was very a arousing sensation.

There's a difference between promoting a lifestyle and supporting a clientele.

I doubt Mcdo can afford to pull its donations either...there are a whole lot of homos and friendlies in the states too.

YOUR UP ON THE GAY SHIT HUH SHIT 4 BRAINS

Let the obese folks line up at their feeding trough


and let the reaping of what has been sown be revealed





Mcdonalds is pig slop



and one of the profiteers of the beast system


while they remove all phys Ed programs from schools and macD's get school contracts to poison the children in schools.


MSG is used in almost all processed foods and throughout their food-It is used to FATTEN UP LAB RATS-TRUTH


check for yourselves-and they then try and make laws against the parents who mistreat their kids and help cause obesity-discounting genetics and focusing on the parents-discounting the legal food that if eaten daily will kill


supersize me was no joke

blood pressure

kidney problems(likely from GMO/Frankenfoods/GE)

liver problems

and all kinds of serious health problems in a healthy person in a very short time of their so-called "healthy food"



phuck them and their processed dog food

I buy a burger for my pug as she is elderly and won't survive much longer-so 1 burger every 6 months is a big treat for her...


I won't eat their slop-the more I prepare food for my family the better-and I rarely use any processed or prepared crap-fresh or frozen when I must and rarely some canned goods

but raw is best and many are morbidly obese due to their choices


back to choices again-gosh


ALL CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES,choose WISELY or die ignorant




grow your own food even in an apt/or indoors one can pull down patio tomatoes, herbs of all kinds packed with vitamins and healing

time to read the writing on the wall and comprehend



ronald always looked creepy-straight or gay-and I normally like clowns-

The AFA is a fascist organization whose sole purpose is to promote right wing values.

They will be on Attorney General Edwards terrorist watch list in 2009.

can someone embedd this image from MCDonald's CEO's doing the hand sign thing?

Lolz! You give your pug big macs? I bet my husky would love one...but she doesn't eat that much grain. Mmmm...fatty corn slop.

I doubt they are too worried. All the fat ass christians will not be giving up their convenience. Either way, glad I ate there yesterday to support their cause.

A couple things, $20,000 from McDonalds is hardly "putting their full weight" behind anything. Not to mention that they've been promoting "families" since the beginning of time. Not to mention that gay people have "families" too so I'm never quite sure how a "family" organization cares about what they do. I guess they don't care TOO much about kids having loving families because if it can't be their way, it's the highway. Those kids are shit out of luck.

I get these types of emails all day long from my conservative religious family. And I quickly delete them. Unless you are going to research every company to see how they appropriate their funds and make sure you agree with it, you're a blind hypocrite sheep just doing something because you got a fucking email about it. And if you actually do that, I bet you will be growing your own food and weaving your own cloth to make your own clothes because it isn't going to happen.

Ford should have known better. People get all whipped up about this stuff at first and then it dies off. Everyone frantically sends their emails and tells their friends. I got one about Target not supporting the troops. It turned out to be bull shit anyway but it's amazing how far it goes without someone actually looking into it or thinking about it.

The last time they went to boycott McDonalds the company's profits rose 18%.

Boycotts simply don't work in this country, however anyone has the right to boycott any restaurant they want.

'struth

"It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald's has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage." (from the AFA website)

Holy Crap people. It's hard to believe that a thinking person would even buy into this shit but I guess it goes to show you, most people don't think.

It seems to me that "remaining neutral" on the subject would be to promote things equally and not choose sides. So the AFA really has no interest in neutrality, just that McDonalds does what they say.

And as pointed out earlier, $20,000 is hardly the "full weight" of their corporation. Laughable.

THIS IS UPDATE. I WAS RIGHT AGAIN.

McDonald's surrenders! Boycott declared over
Family group says fast-food giant agrees not to promote 'gay' agenda

Following the link from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce's website leads to a promotional for children's Happy Meals at the McDonalds website

A corporate executive for McDonald's restaurants who had been on board of directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has stepped down following a boycott of the chain organized by the pro-family American Family Association.

McDonald's officials confirmed today to WND that Richard Ellis, who had been named to the "gay" chamber board after McDonald's contributed $20,000 to the organization, "made a personal decision to step down" after he accepted a new position with McDonald's Restaurants of Canada.

McDonald's officials also told AFA the company has no plans to renew its membership in the special interest group when it expires in December.

"We appreciate the decision by McDonald's to no longer support political activity by homosexual activist organizations," AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon said in a prepared statement.

WND reported in May when McDonald's signed onto the "gay" agenda, and one executive for the fast-food chain later accused Christian advocates of the traditional family of being motivated by "hate."

The AFA called for a boycott and established a website to facilitate the effort. However, AFA officials today said the boycott was being called off after the company notified the AFA Ellis has resigned from the board and "his seat on the board will not be replaced by McDonald's."

"McDonald's stated that the company would remain neutral in the culture war surrounding homosexual marriage," the AFA said.

The pro-family group noted that in an e-mail to McDonald's franchise owners, the company said, "It is our policy to not be involved in political and social issues. McDonald's remains neutral on same sex marriage or any 'homosexual agenda' as defined by the American Family Association."

McDonald's statement, from media relations vice president William Whitman, said the company "stands by and supports our people. Diversity and inclusion are integral components of our brand and our heritage. We continue to have strong employee networks throughout our company and will continue to align our brand with individuals and organizations that share our belief in supporting our people and the communities we serve."

The "gay" chamber said, "Like all our corporate relationships, McDonald's USA has been a good partner … there has been no discussion between the NGLCC and McDonald's regarding continuing membership, nor has the NGLCC been notified of any move not to renew our work together."

The organization continued, "The NGLCC will continue to align with corporate America in support of equal opportunity for all of America's worker (sic) and small businesses."

When Ellis joined the NGLCC board he proclaimed: "I'm thrilled to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce team and ready to get to work. I share the NGLCC's passion for business growth and development within the LGBT community and I look forward to playing a role in moving these important initiatives forward."

Ellis had only recently joined McDonald's USA, previously holding the position of vice president of communications and public affairs for McDonald's in Canada, a division to which he now apparently is returning.

The American Family Association is one of the largest pro-family organizations in the nation with between 2 and 3 million online supporters.

As WND previously reported, after Wal-Mart joined the NGLCC, its income started declining as Christian organizations reacted to the news.

CNN reported Wal-Mart officials later decided to pursue a lower level of homosexual promotions.

"We are not currently planning corporate-level contributions to GLBT groups," Mona Williams, the company's senior vice president of corporate communications, told CNN only months after the issues arose.

The chamber group describes itself as promoting the LGBT community first and always.

Under a "What we do" page is listed a variety of goals, including "disseminate news and information central to the success of LGBT businesses … ensure increased opportunity and equality for LGBT professionals … help LBGT businesses gain more procurement opportunities …. provide strong lobbying efforts for LBGT business causes."

Other corporate sponsors of the NGLCC include Coors Light and Kodak, who have been leaders in advocating homosexuality, as well as IBM, Wells Fargo, JPMorganChase, Motorola, Intel, Avis, Pepsico, OfficeMax and Coldwell Banker.

It also was revealed Happy Meals profits had been used to send 56 McDonald's staff members to a meeting in San Diego to strategize about promoting homosexuality within the company.

But the AFA had sought only a statement of neutrality in the culture wars from the company, not an abandonment of its workers or communities.

WND also has reported on AFA's documentation of McDonald's sponsorship of a homosexual festival featuring public nudity for both men and women.

The AFA revealed McDonald's sponsored the 2008 San Francisco "Gay" Pride parade with a television commercial. The ad originally was posted on YouTube by a McDonald's employee, the group said. "After AFA exposed it, it was removed by the McDonald's employee," the AFA said.

The original McDonald's position supporting the NGLCC agenda, however, came down to a matter of dollars and cents for officials for a family of mutual funds.

They accused McDonald's officials of "neglecting" their "fiduciary" duty to stockholders by their pursuit of homosexual activism.

"It continues to amaze me that corporations, like McDonald's, continue to publicly and financially support things that alienate their consumer base," said Arthur Ally, the president of the Timothy Plan family of mutual funds.

The company refuses to invest with McDonald's.

"Shareholders as well as customers should be outraged," Ally said, "at the blatant position this company has taken on this issue. McDonald's corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to continue to earn profits and expand their company. By alienating such a large consumer base, the Christian community, they are undoubtedly neglecting this responsibility."

The AFA's boycott site comment forum had attracted thousands of comments such as:

"America is tired of corporations and organizations twisting the free speech and actions of its citizens into 'hatred' when we simply oppose the corporation's, or organization's, involvement in areas where we don't want our money going. Don't expect any more of my money."


"McDonald's is a thing of the past for me."


"We love your fries, but we will not compromise truth. You have taken money that our family, and millions of others, have contributed to the success of the McDonald's Corp. and chosen to use it for an agenda that defies the foundation of our nation, the family, as created by a man and woman."


"I will take [my] 10 great grand children to Wendy's, Burger King or some other place. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!"


"Yes Wendy's, I will have a Frosty with that."


"Consider my family's patronage 'McGone.'"

Yay. Celebration. Bigots win!

ugh.
