RRRW Has Hissyfit Over McDonald’s Support of “Gay Agenda”.
McDonald’s has now garnered the hatred of WorldNutNetDaily. The crime? Contributing to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Oh, the humanity! Says WorldNetDaily.
McDonald’s restaurant’s, famed for the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald and kids meals, has signed onto a nationwide effort to promote “gay” and “lesbian” business ventures.
The company, which is listed on the website of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce as a “corporate partner and organization ally” for an undisclosed financial contribution, also recently placed one of its executives on the NGLCC board of directors.
Earlier this month, the chamber confirmed that Richard Ellis, vice president of communications of McDonald’s USA, was elected to the special interest chamber board.

“In addition to being on NGLCC’s board of directors, Ellis is an active member of the board of directors of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, vice president of the board of directors of the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) and an accredited member of the Canadian Public Relations Society ( CPRS) and the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC),” the NGLCC announcement said.

McDonald’s officials declined today to return a WND call seeking a comment on the placement of its executive on the “gay” advocacy organization, but did send a subsequent e-mail confirming the corporation’s support for the agenda of the homosexual business lobby.
“McDonald’s is indeed a Corporate Partner and Organizational Ally of NGLCC. Our vice president of U.S. communications, Richard Ellis, was recently elected to its board of directors,” said the brief statement from Heidi M. Barker, senior director of media relations, to WND.

Apparently WND doesn’t take issue with the high fat/sodium/calorie-low nutrition “food” McDonald’s peddles, but take deep offense at the notion they might help some LGBT people financially along the way. How typical.
