Boycott McDonalds

By: Steve Huston

Shocked and bewildered —

Homosexuality is a sin. The Word of God speaks clearly in regard to homosexuality. For thousands of years humankind has recognized that homosexuality is aberrant, destructive behavior. Research shows that a tiny percentage are homosexuals.

Adultery, too, is sinful, destructive behavior that is not condoned nor promoted in America. To the best of my knowledge, McDonalds has not promoted adultery specifically though it has advertised on television shows that have adultery as a subtheme.

So to see one of America’s largest corporations blatantly go against time-honored standards of truth, morality and decency is extremely difficult to comprehend. On its face, it is one of the most foolish business decisions I ever recall seeing in my 20 years of ministry service.

I speak, of course, of McDonalds decision to backhand hundreds of millions of traditional family values people and align themselves with promoting the godless behavior of a few.

Below is a hard copy petition produced by AFA that I urge you to take to your church and circulate:

It reads as follows:

Petition to boycott McDonald’s

McDonald’s: those opposing homosexual marriage motivated by hate American Family Association (AFA) is boycotting McDonald’s restaurants because of the company’s promotion of the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage. AFA asked McDonald’s to remain neutral in the culture war. McDonald’s refused.

In response to the boycott, McDonald’s spokesman Bill Whitman told the Washington Post that those who oppose homosexuality are motivated by hate, saying that “… hatred has no place in our culture.” McDonald’s has decided to adopt the “hate” theme used by homosexual groups for years.

McDonald’s, as a corporation, is giving the full weight of their corporation in support of the homosexual agenda. McDonald’s donated $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce in exchange for membership and a seat on the group’s board of directors. The NGLCC lobbies Congress in support of homosexual marriage.

McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner said the company will promote issues they approve. “Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world … and we do.”

Yes, I’m supporting the boycott of McDonald’s until McDonald’s stops supporting groups that promote homosexual marriage.

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.

Boycott McDonalds

NGLCC Web site clearly shows McDonald’s is a “Corporate Partner and Organizational Ally”

May 14, 2008

McDonald’s is still trying to distort their support for the homosexual agenda by twisting words. While McDonald’s says it is not a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, the NGLCC website proudly lists them as a “Corporate Partner and Organizational Ally.” In a telephone call from McDonald’s Vice-President Jack Daly, on May 2, he confirmed to AFA that it gave $20,000 to the NGLCC.

In addition, Daly told AFA that Richard Ellis, vice president of communications for McDonald’s, is a “gay man” and personally approved the $20,000 donation to the NGLCC. Mr. Daly also claimed that Richard Ellis was elected to the NGLCC board as a private citizen and not a representative of McDonald’s. Yet, Richard Ellis is listed on the NGLCC website as Vice President of Communications, McDonald’s USA.

There is more:

So dedicated to promoting gay activities on public streets, McDonald’s sponsored the 2007 San Francisco Gay Pride parade with a television commercial. In the ad, McDonald’s brags that it is “a company that actively demonstrates its commitment to the gay and lesbian community.” Watch the ad.
