charlesBoycott McDonalds because of their support of same-sex marriage?
:
The American Family Association, in their benevolent power, have wisely decided to start a movement to boycott McDonalds.
Hear hear! Why are you boycotting McDonalds?
Because of their sneaky practices in third-world countries? Because of the demeaning environment for their young workers? Because of the simple fact that eating McDonalds is just not healthy?
No. No no no.
Ah, because they support same-sex marriage...
From the site:
Boycotting McDonalds because they support same-sex marriage... are you kidding me? This is the biggest issue that you managed to get worked up about? Bushies are running rampant through the White House, wasting tax money on expensive, unaccountable military spending, which they have interests in, and you've put together a webpage to boycott McDonalds?
Terrific. This is what we've come to, apparently.
Well, they let you submit a comment, which I did:
And then I couldn't resist, getting both stupid and silly:
"I used to be gay, but then I found out that it was because I ate at McDonalds! Once I stopped eating at MickeyD's, my red-blooded heterosexuality came storming back!"
And

"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."

"Thank you for an informative and interesting article! I never knew that McDonalds supported same-sex marriage! Without this website, I would have never have known!
Of course, though, it's absolutely ridiculous. I love same sex marriage. I'm a straight male, and I feel like running to McDonalds right now, loading up on carbs and trans fats, just to wallow under those hedonistic arches.
In fact, I think they should go one step further - McDonalds should actually perform wedding ceremonies under their arches. People could throw fresh fries, and the wedding cake could be a stack of apple pies. The couple would kiss, everyone would cheer, Ronald McDonald would start crying. It'd be a beautiful, sight, fireworks exploding in the sky, Grimace and the Hamburgler kissing, lost in the throes of passion.
This website is a waste of time and effort. Why do you feel the need to invade the sanctity of other people's relationships? Are you so hateful that you can't accept the natural social bonding that occurs in our society? "

And
"Right on! I don't support same-sex marriage either, and it disgusts me that McDonalds would have the big shiny sinful balls to throw money at the cause!
It's disgusting! My wife once asked me to do her doggy-style two nights in a row, and I said 'Gross! I will not have the same sex with you!'"

I only eat at McDonalds when it's the only thing open late at night... But it's good to know they support same-sex marriage - do you know in what way? I may feel less guilty for making use of their products in the future...

I'm now trying to get the image of Grimace and the Hamburglar getting it on out of my head. Thanks! Could you imagine the makeup run if Ronald MacDonald cried, he'd look like the Joker from Batman Begins but with brighter hair.
Well I'm off to build a website to boycott Hungry Jacks because I hear they support gays living together in sin! Gosh.

Ruby, the homosexual agenda sounds exhausting. Imagine the effort trying to get homosexuals all across America to meet in secret?
PoMo, I think McD's just donates money to the same sex rights campaign. Read about it in the Washington Post - the response from McD's is quite firm.
Cheryl, I used to have nightmares about the McDonald's gang...

Seriously though, I love the term "homosexual agenda"- it sounds so bad-ass. Great slogan above Ruby- "taking over the world one human right at a time"- we should make t-shirts.
