I’m Glad My Brain Isn’t a Pretzel.
Because if it were, I’d be thinking like a fundie and making convoluted statements like the ones in this story about the ongoing McDonald’s boycott from WorldNutDaily.
The corporate headquarters for McDonald’s is hearing from store managers in California that customers are upset over the company’s pro-homosexual advocacy and they aren’t going to take it any longer.
Yeah, because it would be unheard of for you to tolerate any organization that didn’t practice bigotry toward LGBT people, wouldn’t it?
It was because of a decision by the restaurant chain known for Happy Meals and its Golden Arches to deliberately advocate for homosexuality. The company has given $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and placed one of its executives on that group’s board. The NGLCC, among other things, lobbies for same-sex “marriage” provisions.
So by giving to the NGLCC McDonald’s is advocating for homosexuality? I guess then by giving to the Salvation Army McDonald’s is advocating for Christianity, and by giving to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength McDonald’s is advocating breast cancer. No, I didn’t misstate that last one, because if supporting rights and benefits for LGBT people means advocating homosexuality, then donating to an agency that seeks a cure for breast cancer surely means advocating breast cancer. Just twist your brain into a pretzel and it will all become clear to you.
“If McDonald’s restaurants and franchises … follow the small business advice of the company’s new homosexual partner – the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), which received a $20,000 grant from McDonald’s – there would be chaos,” said Peter LaBarbera, chief of Americans for Truth.
The only chaos that’s occurring is because of bigoted hate-mongers who can’t stand the idea of LGBT people having equal rights and protections under the law, and feel the need to bully any organization that tries to offer them.
“From customers, we’ve actually gotten a pretty good response. They see the signs and come up to us. When they ask, we just explain about the $20,000 donated to the NGLCC.”
I notice they left out the part where most of the customers walked away shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.
McDonalds’ personal attack against those who support the traditional definition of marriage, while siding with a narrow group that promotes a radical redefinition, shows that company executives are out to lunch. McDonalds might as well change their signs to read ‘billions and billions insulted,’” said Mathew Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel.

“This boycott isn’t about hiring homosexuals, or homosexuals eating at McDonald’s or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture war. The company has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage,” the AFA said.
Yes, it’s a personal attack against you because McDonald’s won’t engage in bigotry against LGBT citizens. And you don’t want them to remain “neutral in the culture war”, you want them to support your side. But nice attempt to claim otherwise.
The pro-family groups are encouraging families to do two things: sign, print and distribute a Boycott McDonald’s petition at www.boycottmcdonalds.com; and call the local McDonald’s to politely tell the manager they are boycotting the chain until it stops promoting the “gay” agenda.
Yes, but they should promote the homophobic bigot agenda instead? Right.
I’ve got a suggestion for anybody who can’t handle the fact that McDonald’s doesn’t pander to homophobes. Head on down to In n’ Out Burger. They have Bible verses on their food wrappers so they’re right up your alley.
