McDonald's surrenders! Boycott declared over

Family group says fast-food giant agrees not to promote 'gay' agenda

A corporate executive for McDonald's restaurants who had been on board of directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has stepped down following a boycott of the chain organized by the pro-family American Family Association.

McDonald's officials confirmed today to WND that Richard Ellis, who had been named to the "gay" chamber board after McDonald's contributed $20,000 to the organization, "made a personal decision to step down" after he accepted a new position with McDonald's Restaurants of Canada.

McDonald's officials also told AFA the company has no plans to renew its membership in the special interest group when it expires in December.

"We appreciate the decision by McDonald's to no longer support political activity by homosexual activist organizations," AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon said in a prepared statement.

WND reported in May when McDonald's signed onto the "gay" agenda, and one executive for the fast-food chain later accused Christian advocates of the traditional family of being motivated by "hate."

The AFA called for a boycott and established a website to facilitate the effort. However, AFA officials today said the boycott was being called off after the company notified the AFA Ellis has resigned from the board and "his seat on the board will not be replaced by McDonald's."

"McDonald's stated that the company would remain neutral in the culture war surrounding homosexual marriage," the AFA said.

The pro-family group noted that in an e-mail to McDonald's franchise owners, the company said, "It is our policy to not be involved in political and social issues. McDonald's remains neutral on same sex marriage or any 'homosexual agenda' as defined by the American Family Association."

See what happens when Christians stand up against wrong. Good overcomes evil. Look it up.

Hold the LGBT on that Big Mac

I don't buy gas from Citgo because Hugo Chavez can kiss my grits. Now I've also stopped buying burgers from McDonald's. Boycott McDonald's has the details.

McDonald's sponsored the 2007 San Francisco Gay Pride parade with a television commercial. In the ad, a McDonald's official brags that it is "a company that actively demonstrates its commitment to the gay and lesbian community."

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.

The hard part is trying to explain to your kids why you won't take them to McDonald's. But I guess they gotta learn what a rotten, stupid, backwards, crazy world we're in some time.

Boycott MSM to defeat Obama

A black minister, The Hon. James David Manning, PhD, calls for a total boycott of the mainstream media as the key to defeating Obama. He specifically names CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, the New York Times and Oprah and urges everyone to "pull their money strings" with a boycott. This is the "last weapon left" during this last 100 days of the campaign to defeat Obama from "putting his hand on the Koran and becoming the first Muslim President of the United States of America."
