McDonald’s is digging in its heels in support of homosexuality
Posted on July 30, 2008
As I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, McDonalds has this year gone political. They have been leaning over backwards to support the homosexual agenda — homosexual marriage etc. Christian groups have objected to that and called for a boycott of McDonald’s — but McDonald’s is unmoved:
“McDonald’s, however, has been unapologetic about its pro-gay stance, asserting that organizers of the boycott are motivated by a hateful agenda against homosexuals. “Hatred has no place in our culture,” McDonald’s USA spokesman Bill Whitman told The Washington Post.
McDonald’s can of course argue in favor of whatever they like but Christian groups can also then argue against McDonald’s and ask Christian people to boycott them. Burger King must be rubbing their hands with glee.
But claiming that objections to homosexuality are “hate” rather than loyalty to Bible teachings is really going out on a limb. As a conservative commentator says:
“However, when McDonald’s steps up to the mic to address the media, a veritable rainbow of true colors is revealed. While referring to customers with traditional family values, spokesman Bill Whitman regurgitated this little McNugget to the Washington Post: “Hatred has no place in our culture.”
Nice job, Bill. I’m sure the hundreds of millions of customers you’ve just smacked down with this little insult are itchin’ for a Happy Meal now.
Get it? If you happen to support the historical definition of marriage – which is, and has always been male-female – then you’re a drooling, inbred hatemonger.
You would think McDonald’s to be in too much trouble from the food freaks and obesity warriors to insult the majority of Middle America as well.
I rather hope that enough people feel insulted for it to show up in McDonald’s bottom line. The executives responsible for this nonsense might then be fired.
The latest reports however are that McDonald’s are not budging — and neither are the Christian groups. As well as asking for a boycott, some groups are now picketing McDonald’s branches.
I have always defended McDonald’s from the food freaks who claim that McDonald’s food is “unhealthy” but I think in future I will leave McDonald’s to fight their own battles.
Predictably, the media are ignoring the Christian campaign. Claims that McDonald’s food is unhealthy always get plenty of coverage, however.

I never eat there anyway. I like Wendy’s the best. Please don’t tell me they have a political agenda too.
Of course the media is ignoring it — they can’t find a way that this issue will help elect Obama!
The media is ignoring the boycott because it’s the same old, same old. Nothing new here, move along… nothing to see…
They gave too much attention to the Christian boycott of Disney World and they’re not going to make that mistake again.
I’ve linked to your post from McDonalds Homosexual Advocacy Increases – Now Funds Pride Parade
The news is getting out, Maybe McDonald’s may want to start selling beer or something if they are no longer interested in supporting families.
Christian’s did not do enough to protect the family from no fault divorce, They are repentant. They have an interest in the family unit just like the state should.
I know – I’m sick of christian bigotry – McDonald’s could care less about this stupid ineffectual “boycot”
I, as many of my fellow church families, have stopped eating at McDonalds now for about 3 weeks. We tallied the approximate amount combined that we’d normally spend, and it has totalled over $1800 just as one church just in 2 McDonalds places alone. I’ll be more than happy to spend at Burger King.
We don’t hate gays – we pray for them to repent!
“McDonald’s can of course argue in favor of whatever they like but Christian groups can also then argue against McDonald’s and ask Christian people to boycott them. Burger King must be rubbing their hands with glee.”
…especially since Burger King gave to the same group, yet all the complaints are directed towards McDonald’s.
Hell yeah!
Some Christians are hateful about this subject and their ideas are completely flawed! I’m even tempted to go to Mc.Donalds now!
