I remember my very first McDonald’s meal. I was about six or seven years old. My family (four boys, two girls and both parents) were in my father’s station wagon. I had fallen asleep in the back of the car and when I awakened, my brothers told me that I needed to eat my lunch. So I opened the bag and ate my McDonald’s meal. I still recall the smell of the hamburger and fries. The food tasted so much better then.

Well things have changed over the years. Like so many other big corporations, McDonald’s has become a little too political. You’d think they would not take strong political positions out of respect for their customers, wouldn’t you?

It looks like I have eaten my last McDonald’s french fry. And quite frankly, the food is not good for you anyway, so it’s just as well. Check this out:

A spokesman for McDonald’s restaurants says those who oppose same-sex “marriage” are motivated by hate.

Earlier this month, the American Family Association (AFA) called for a boycott of the hamburger giant because of the company’s promotion of the homosexual agenda. The AFA took issue with McDonald’s refusal to remain neutral in the culture war.

But in a recent Washington Post article, McDonald’s spokesman Bill Whitman suggested that those who oppose same-sex “marriage” are motivated by hate. However, AFA Founder Don Wildmon disagrees and says McDonald’s has bought into rhetoric used by homosexual activists.

“They’ve said for years and years that if you oppose their lifestyle, then you are a hateful person,” notes Wildmon. “We’ve given McDonald’s ample opportunity to stop supporting the homosexual agenda. They have said in no uncertain terms that they are going to go on supporting the homosexual groups and helping the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce go before Congress and lobby for a national right to marry,” he points out.
