Default Boycotting McDonalds

I recieve e-mails from AFA (American Family Association) with is a Christian group that has programs that run on the radio that you may have heard. They recently sent out an e-mail on the situation with the fast-food chain McDonalds and their support for the homosexual agenda. Here is a little piece from thier website...

The founder of the American Family Association (AFA) says the McDonald's Corporation's refusal to be neutral in the cultural war over homosexuality has resulted in their declaration of a boycott against the popular fast-food chain.

AFA founder Don Wildmon says they went to McDonald's after learning several months ago that the company had joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. And following a $20,000 donation to that group, one of McDonald's executives was placed on the Chamber's board of directors.

"We contacted McDonald's and showed them what they were doing -- that is, helping to support the homosexual agenda," explains Wildmon. "...One of the primary purposes of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is to promote homosexual marriage."

After meeting with Wildmon, the corporation refused to withdraw their support for the Chamber. "...In fact, McDonald's strongly told us that they are reaffirming their commitment to -- they called it -- 'diversity,'" he continues.

Wildmon says that reaffirmation means throwing the corporation's full weight into the cultural battle on the side of homosexuality -- which is why AFA is calling for consumers not to help McDonald's do it with their dollars.


After reading this, I am curious to see how many people here would still spend their dollars at this restraunt knowing that some of it will be used to support this blatant violation of the Word if God.

Opinions please...

I also get the e-mail updates from another ministry called the American Decency Association (ADA), which often goes with the AFA, and have gone to boycotting the corporations that have shown themselves to financially and publically support unbiblical standards. I would rather my money---which is in truth GOD'S money that He's let me hold onto and use---for things that do not undermine the Word of God!

It won't be hard for me to boycott McDonald's, , because I just dont go there. the last time I went was almost a year ago. but will not be going back, as long as they are going to be playing these games and trying to straddle the fence. They are suppose to be family oriented and what does this tell to the regular families when they are condoning this type of behavior.

I'm not one to frequent McDs either but I also do further research since believe it or not the AFA has made horrible mistakes also in their assessments in the past.

Even when I worked for them years and years ago, the only reason I would eat there, is because as a crew member I got my food half price, then when I got into management, I got my food for free. Since then, I seldom go, maybe once a year.

I worked for McDs for 8 hours in total when I was at school, it was horrid so I resigned and found other ways for making extra money!

I don't go there often enough to make a boycott register but as a general principal I would avoid any compnay that actively promoted any unBiblical lifestyle. I try to buy fair trade whenever I can also.

Thanks for all your comments. I usually didn't go to McD's that much myself but every once in a while I would like a quarter pounder with cheese. My favorite fast food place would have to be BK. Just love those Whoppers.

Haha, same here, brother. I usually go for the Ranch chicken BLT myself. But, BK is my more visited place. Of course, the most recent time I went, it didn't sit well on my mom's stomach since she (and myself) have been moving toward eating better and more natural foods. So, I have to put a big X on that place . . . unless I'm out by myself for the whole day or something.

I prefer Burger King over McDonalds anyday. Like the flame cooked burgers, . I can count how many times I have ate at McDonalds, in the last year, on probably 2 or 3 fingers, yes 2 or 3 fingers not 2 or 3 hands, . The last time, I had a coupon to buy one get one free on their chicken sandwiches, or else I would not have ate there then.
