(FranchisePick.Com) According to this report(McDonald’s profits help fund naked homosex-fest) on WorldNetDaily.com, the American Family Association (AFA) is “ramping up the pressure on McDonald’s for its decision to fully promote the homosexual lifestyle and condemn people who object on moral and religious grounds as haters.”
In a new alert to its millions of supporters, the AFA confirmed McDonald’s was a sponsor of the 2007 San Francisco “Gay” Pride parade with a television commercial.
“In the ad, a McDonald’s official (Darwin Choy) brags that it is ‘a company that actively demonstrates its commitment to the gay and lesbian community,’” the AFA said….The parade itself was broadcast on San Francisco Channel KORN-TV, and the AFA has posted photographs documenting the explicit nudity.
According to WND, “The issue erupted after McDonald’s paid $20,000 and installed one of its executives on the board of the National “Gay” and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.”
The AFA now is asking consumers to sign a boycott petition and contact their local restaurant managers to raise objections over the company’s activism.
Meanwhile, efforts by a local California organization to stage picketing in front of McDonald’s restaurants until their managers agree to forward the group’s concerns to the corporation headquarters are expanding.
Officials with SaveBiblicalMarriage.org have been staging protests in California and so far have obtained commitments from three of the five franchise owners/managers they’ve approached to forward their objections to the corporate office.
“We have gotten good responses from some other Christians about spreading the boycott-picketing of McDonald’s elsewhere,” spokesman Yuriy Popko told WND.
The AFA is seeking to force McDonald’s to stop promoting “the homosexual lifestyle” through its website BoycottMcDonalds.com. The Boycott McDonald’s action alert clarifies what its actions are NOT about:
What the boycott of McDonald’s IS NOT about
- This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals.
- It is not about homosexuals eating at McDonald’s.
- It is not about how homosexual employees are treated.
What the boycott of McDonald’s IS about
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.

Probably ’cause you gave it to the nymph.
is that a Freudian slip?
I don’t wear those anymore
Sean, is that a Freudian slip?
Sorry, Paul, I agree that I should have stuck with the nymphomaniac as an example.
It’s hard to go wrong sticking with the nymphomaniac example.

That said, anyone who rests a cup of hot liquid between their legs and pulls the lid off is, at the least, not thinking.
McD’s should have settled, but I’ve noticed that lawyers only settle (without admitting or denying guilt) with government agencies, not individuals.
Miki writes: Why in the world would you look for reasonable, responsible behavior in a country where McD’s is sued for a spilled cup of coffee…
Just to be clear, this is a gross oversimplification. There are stupid lawsuits out there, but this is not one of them. Good synopses of this case are on the DMIblog and the ATLA site:

Sean, shame on you. You of all people should know that “a stable, loving home to a group of happy kids” should take a backseat to the ideology. After all, we can always hire more police and build more prisions to deal with those dysfunctional results.
But Blog Administrators ARE more equal than others.
Did you see the episode of 30 Days (That supersize me guy’s show) where the right wing Christian woman lived with a gay male couple with children. It was an interesting mini-documentary. She wasn’t a bad person, but it was clear that while everyone has their viewpoints, some people’s viewpoints deprive others of their basic rights.
Even those these guys were excellent parents providing a stable, loving home to a group of happy kids, if the woman had her way they would be back in dysfunctional dangerous homes or split up and scattered in the foster home system.
She wasn’t a bad person, just as some AFA members probably really do mean well. But if one group’s viewpoint impedes anothers legitimate freedoms, they need to back off and let God sort it out in the next life.
I’m sure she’s capable of handling it quite well.
The cynic I’ve become concludes that the only equality truly desired by most factions is the kind described by the pigs at Animal Farm.
I say ‘most’ since there may be a faction I haven’t heard about yet:)
The American Family Association needs money. That is the only reason why they are stirring up trouble with MacDonald’s. This is how they rustle up dollars to support their cause.
Let’s all be clear here. The homosexual agenda is “equality.” That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. Now who doesn’t believe in equality. It’s also really good for business.
Exactly my point, I hate facebook too. So this elite club would only let in those who were bonified SFs from the sixties and seventies. A piece of a tie dye T shirt, an Eagles or Doobie brothers vinyl LP, or an original harley badge would have to be produced at the door. The hippies are bummed out let’s celebrate them. Sean has the scripts man!
That’s not the SF I was in (or at least not that part), we were closer to Pacific Heights than the Haight. But Lord Jim’s was flourishing, the Castro was still fun and the free hors d’oeuvre in the Financial district where I worked were to die for. Sean was more likely partying around the corner from his home in Cow Hollow:)
PS I don’t do Facebook and SF still hates franchises:)
We can include reviews of all the novels and short stories I was going to write there… and didn’t.
Wow this is one interesting meet up between Sean and Miki, San Fran in the seventies. Smoky bars.cocktails, art deco, rent money slid under the glass, I want in! I see a great new franchise meetup. How about,SanFranUs puts facebook to Shame! A new club.

Too weird. Perhaps we shared a cocktail or two at the Johnny Porter’s 007 1/2 Club Lounge which was my favorite spot… right down the street. I’m sure I spent some time at the Black Magic bar – I would never have passed up a name like that.
A friend and I lived in the Van Green Apartments, at Van Ness & Green, where you paid weekly by sliding cash under the bulletproof glass. We drank Lucky Beer and hunted the cockroaches for sport. Years later I was there on a video shoot and spun by to show the crew the fleabag joint I’d once lived. It had been gentrified… doorman and everything.
We thought the sixties were still going on… but we were about 10 years late. Great city.
You’re KIDDING! I moved there in ’77 and had a tiny apartment at Lombard and Van Ness above the Black Magic bar:) We were neighbors only the apartment building I remember (gorgeous, multi-story, white art deco) was beyond me at the time. I bought a tiny house in Bernal Heights in ’79 right before that giant storm that broke the drought.
Miki:
I lived in SF in 78. Were you there?
Van Ness & Green.
I’m sure the AFA wasn’t hanging out there on Polk Street during the Halloween Bash.
(I rode that Cable Car, too. I got neither $50K nor 100 women.)
