McDonald's getting flack for supporting "the homosexual agenda"

Image...
Let me get this straight, McDonald's knowingly contributes to the obesity epidemic, plays an active role in helping squelch this nation's agriculutre systems, practices substandard beef and food health regulations, bioengineers food with unknown repurcussions, and yet the masses line up en masse to collect a coke, a smile, and a plastic happy meal toy.

Yet they support equal rights for other human beings who happen to be gay or lesbian and suddenly feathers are ruffled enough to get active in protest?

Wow...

    but Mario, perhaps this quotation from the website will change your mind....

    "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 Wendys Burger King or some other place. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!"

    WHY DO HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPITALS? I wonder to myself.

    i personally don't mind if homophobes die young from eating ground greasy cow burgers - so good on wendys, burger king and all the other GAMES IN TOWN for helping them on their anti-mcdonalds way...

    "McDonald's is a thing of the past for me. Hope they stop their arrogant attitude toward the American Family before it is too late and they go bankrupt."

    Yeah. That'll be the day.

    Wait, didn't I just read 75% of us say it's ok for gays to serve in the military they just can't get married or eat anything while they're doing it?

    Oh my god. Some of the responses on that site are unintentionally both hilarious and terrifying.
    It's such a shame.

    When's J_Jammer going to wade in with his usual tirade?

    McDonald's has no place in the bedroom, but nonetheless I'm going to go right on with life as if I never read this because frankly I could care less.

    you sound surprised...
    ingnorance is bliss!

    If they are really interested in family values, then they should have used all the money that went into this homophobic campaign to support programs aimed at directly helping families in need.

    I wonder why such a huge multinational company is taking the risk of losing millions of homophobic American clients.
    They certainly have an agenda, but I believe it has nothing to do with gay rights. They're using the rainbow flag to cover up something else.

    Finally a huge company takes pride in having gay workers work for them. I can only hope that Mc's is not the only place that allows this.

    I'm glad they're holding their ground against religious assholes.

    But I still won't touch their "food." I like my chicken nuggets without butane thank you very much.

    Some of the comments on the boycottmcdonalds site are kinda racist too. It's kind of hard to believe that people are trying to build families with such ignorant views.

    Also, it seems like the only good thing anybody can say about McDonald's is that they like the fries.

    "McDonald's knowingly contributes to the obesity epidemic,"

    I have a big problem with that line.

    First up though a declaration: I work in a Maccy D's.
    It's hard work, it's min wage and no I'm not loving it. but it pays the bills and puts me through college.

    For a start I don't see this Obesity epidemic, there was not one overweight person in my class in school and there is only 1 in my college class. (anecdotal I know) I see obese people from time to time, recently I saw a woman so fat she was on one of those motorised buggies.
    But these are the exception to the rule.
    ( I believe it is as overhyped as both the Celtic tiger and the impending recession doom)

    Maybe all the children are fat, maybe because the media have frightened everyone into thinking the Paedos are out to get em and kids need to locked up away from them....
    I don't know, i don't spend time near kids in case the Sun getg a mob after me.

    Either way, there is no way in hell McDonalds is responsibly for people's obesity even people who eat there 3 times a day, every day.

    Personal responsibility or the lack thereof is one of the greatest problems in society. EVERYTHING is always someone else's fault.

    If you are fat you made yourself that way (exception being fat children....) and you can undo it.
    It is not impossible to lose weight and it can be easy enough to put it on, but Obesity takes effort.

    This looks like another thinly veiled corporate advertising attempt at showing the world how hip and cool McDonald's is,...once more, failing miserably.
    I'm not lovin' it. May they rot.

    Gays are wrong. And a huge company like McDonald's should NOT support them. Next on the menu is.....A all veggie meal for those gay hippies

    Everyone has an agenda, and all of the morally correct ones should be accepted with the same deal of attention, and in many cases there is too much attention paid to the homosexual one, not to mention to themselves. Come on, nobody else has a ridiculous pride festival. I think it would be accepted more if they just behaved normally.

    And in this case, they're just cashing in to all this newfound "appreciation".

    This makes no sense. Mcdonalds and the word gay, should not be in the same sentence.

    the U.S. is a joke... this wouldn't happen in the U.K. if mc's came out and said that here, everyone would be like....er...so... join the fooking club...

    Clearly McDonalds is in the pocket of "Big Gay" and must be stopped.

    This is what disney has done, and it has earned them the same kind of critisism from the religious right. These people have a choice, let them have their choice.

    So now all the poor kids stuck being home schooled by their creationism preaching Evangelical parents can't have Happy Meals or celebrate Haloween??? Bummer.

    I might have to start eating at McDonalds now just to rebel against these right wing clowns. What a paradox.
