NAPERVILLE, Illinois, July 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Americans For Truth has called a press conference tomorrow with other family groups from across the country at the world headquarters of McDonald's – to support the national boycott of the fast-food giant and highlight its record of promoting homosexual activism.

The press conference will be held at Wednesday, July 16 at 10:00 AM at the McDonald's restaurant adjacent to McDonald's world headquarters – at the corner of 22nd and Spring Streets in Oak Brook, Illinois. Participating groups joining Americans for Truth include:

American Family Association (AFA), which launched the McDonald's boycott
Liberty Counsel
Illinois Family Institute
AFA of Pennsylvania
Family Taxpayers Foundation

"AFA has focused its boycott on McDonald's $20,000 grant to a homosexual businessman's association –– calling for the company to return to neutrality in the culture wars," said Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH). "We agree, but AFTAH will also be highlighting McDonald's daily promotion of unhealthy homosexual and transsexual lifestyles through corporate policies like funding unmarried 'domestic partner' (DP) benefits."

2. If I eat at MickyD's, will I catch teh gay?? (I wonder if the Xian Taliban will have much of an

effect at all? I remember them complaining about Disney World in the same way and that was an abysmal failure if I recall correctly.)

8. That's what happened to Grimace and the Hamburglar

I was one of Grimace's groomsmen at their wedding :)

12. I thought Grimace turned into Barney?

They were both purple creatures with ridiculous voices. Easy to confuse the two.

4. I wonder if Peter's wife is named Hannah.

:D

AFA: Absolute fill in the rest yourselves.

Blue! :hi: :hug:

5. Did you know that Skinner was part of the "homosexual agenda"??

From the AFA petition comments section.... http://www.boycottmcdonalds.com/comments.aspx

" "Dear Mr. Skinner: I do not have hatred for gays. I have a very dear friend who has a gay son. I have a brother-in-law who is gay. I have business aquaintances who are gay. I do not approve of their lifestyle, but I do not hate them. They have chosen a path that is morally wrong and no matter how much it is promoted or pushed, it is wrong. Don't try and make it right by pushing your agenda on the world. Howard Norton Salt Lake City""

Does mean that the AFA will have a petition to boycott "Demonsodomites Underground" next?

6. I'm so torn

I applaude MickeyD's on the one hand but their food sucks and it's so bad for you. I haven't eaten McD's for at least ten years and I'm not gonna re-start now. I guess instead of eating there letters and/or phone calls of support are the order of the day.

9. Tell you what

I LOVE McDonald's, but just don't eat that kind of stuff since there are always better alternatives, fortunately.

BUT, with this nonsense, not only will I go out of my way to patronize them, I shall order and ingest a Big Mac and tell them it's in your honor.

No thanks are necessary. We DUers must stick together, and it's a small enough sacrifice on my part for a good cause.

16. Heh and I LOVE a person that is tough enough n brave enough

[stevedeshazer]

23. FUNNIER THAN SHIT!!

:rofl:

That one made my better-than-average day.

[Canuckistanian]

13. What's a "transsexual lifestyle"?

Don't they mean "bisexual"?

What kind of lifestyle is a transsexual SUPPOSED to live?

[newmajority]

14. Maybe it's time to coin the phrase "theocracy lifestyle"

Now THERE's a deviant lifestyle, and unlike sexual orientation, it's actually a choice!

[JackBeck]

21. I like to call them "theosexuals". n/t

[Skittles]

15. the more places these asshats boycott, the less chance I have of running into them n/t

[DRoseDARs]

18. I've been boycotting McDonald's for years, but that has more to do w/ the food than Teh Scary Gays.

I'd be more concerned with the "unhealthy lifestyles" that come with eating bad "food" for years on end than the personal matters of complete strangers. :shrug:

[Clark2008]

20. OK... they think homosexuality is unhealthy, but don't say a

thing about the brazillion calories and fat in a Big Mac??

:crazy:

[marmar]

22. Liberty Counsel? Family Taxpayers Association?....I love these Fundie organization names.

A lump of shit placed on an ice cream cone is still a lump of shit.

[Angleae]

24. I was wondering why Taco Bell was so full today.
