I almost forgot about this: the McDonald's boycott ended about 2 weeks ago. Family Research Council reports:
The Big Mac attack on family values is finally over! After a five-month boycott, Americans finally got what they ordered-McDonald's
agreement to
stop financing the homosexual agenda. Back in May, the fast food giant
joined the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce to the dismay of
millions of
customers who did not feel served. At the time, company Vice President
Richard Ellis refused to back down, even calling conservatives "haters"
in a
public statement.
The American Family Association launched a national
campaign to force McDonald's to eat its words. And eat them, they did! This
week, McDonald's
announced that Ellis had resigned from the GLCC. In an email to
franchises, the company said, "It is our policy not to be involved
in political and social issues. McDonald's remains neutral on same-sex marriage [and the] 'homosexual agenda...'" We thank McDonald's --
and those of you who used your buying power to encourage values on the menu and in company policy.
