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

"defies the foundation of our nation"

gets me every time.

Hunh???

"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!

Special sauce... I had to say it!!!

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.

McDonalds has publicly sided in the ongoing "culture war" against the majority of Americans who hold traditional family values...

Since when is McDonald's a traditional family value?

Awful company to begin with...

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.

Its prob one of the few things they have done right and now they are gettin nailed for it.

Like any of this hypocrisy should surprise anyone?

I am gay. This makes me very, very sad.

two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a rainbow -- er, i mean, sesame seed -- bun.

McDonald's joined the NGLCC. (National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce). So are these people going to boycott all the business's that are a part of the NGLCC?

Lets see, to name a few:

IBM
American Airlines
American Express
Blue Cross
Aetna
Kodak
UPS
Intel
Motorola
BURGER KING (guess that boycotter didn't do his homework)
Fanny Mae
Coors Light
AT&T
Pfizer

And that is far from all on the list. If these people who are going to boycott McDonald's really want to stick to there guns, seems they are also going to get rid of their credit cards, cell phones, airlines, student loans, computers, prescriptions, etc.

I haven't eaten McDs in 3 years and I truly despise the corporation. But this is really great. I commend their egalitarian and welcoming nature. Like this is really an affront to American values?

I hate McDonalds, but this almost makes me want to go there.

The extreme homophobia and anti-gay posts on this board sadden me. It just makes me die a little inside upon reading every post spewing such hate and ignorance.

I don't like McDonalds but these people who are doing this are nut heads. They are so deluded, those conservatives.

I am boycotting Mc Donald for over a monh..

Ford was boycotted for over 2 years until they had enough

There is a cultural war in this country. No question about it.

We are in a self defense mode for the survival of healthy families.

Abortion is the killing of the child. Same sex marriage wil depend on disposable mother or father to exist.
It is the killing of one parent. Gender confusion is in the agenda.

Liberal are prochoice when it comes to abortion and do not want to be prochoice for education so they can brainwash the next generation in failling state schools.

I want to live prolife and free from this mess.

I also boycott AT&T, starbucks ,wholefood and Heinz

When the government fails the people, they will refuse to support it.

homosexuals are normal fucking ppl.... chill and i praise Mcdonalds (assuming i read the post right) that they are actually supporting equal rights.... the ppl protesting deserve to be shot...

as far as their food policies... im cool with that... its the ppl's problem to devouring the big macs like crazy . after countless documentaries and movies showing the harmful effects of fatty foods... id rather these ppl died off and cleared my gene pool.....
Mcdonalds is simply profiting from public demand.. the very basis of capitalism and our country...

believe it or not its serving our country more than prolly any other food servicess....

strictly by the numbers , immigrants constitute a far greater employee base for Mcd's than "gays" . whatever "agenda" they endorse the fact remains that , so far as objectionable minorities conservatives might get their panties in a wad over , Mcd's poses very little threat to the sanctity of "sex" in this country . how many immigrants from mexico are both gay and employed by Mcd's ?
