No longer the McDonald’s many grew up with.
The American Family Association, whose earlier boycott of Ford Motor Co. over its promotion of homosexuality was dropped after company sales fell 8 percent per month for two years, now is asking consumers to stop buying Big Macs and Happy Meals at McDonald’s.
In a brief announcement today, AFA, whose constituents number in the millions, said it is “asking its supporters to boycott the restaurant chain.” **
“This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals, or homosexuals eating at McDonald’s or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, choosing to put the full weight of their organization behind promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage,” said AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon.
McDonald’s noted, “While one McDonald’s employee is affiliated with the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), McDonald’s is in no way ‘aggressively promoting the homosexual agenda’ as suggested in the newsletter.”
But AFA said, “To refer to Richard Ellis, who is the vice president of communications for McDonald’s, as ‘one McDonald’s employee,’ as if he is a teenager flipping hamburgers, is disingenuous at best. While ‘aggressively’ is admittedly a subjective term, AFA believes that giving money to and partnering with a homosexual lobby organization is certainly an enthusiastic promotion of the homosexual agenda.”
AFA asked the corporation for honesty in its communications and called its verbal maneuvers “disingenuous.”
**European Americans United fully endorses the AFA effort. This editor has long ago boycotted McDonald’s over it’s fanatical approach to ‘Black appreciation.’
