Coca-Cola Drops Pro-Gay Ad Campaign in Hungary After Boycott Backlash

40,000 sign petition rejecting Coke's LGBT agenda

BUDAPEST, Hungary (ChurchMilitant.com) - The world's largest and oldest soft drink maker has withdrawn its advertising campaign promoting homosexuality in Hungary after conservative politicians and an online petition called for a nationwide boycott of its products.

Coca-Cola had posted provocative posters of gays and lesbians against a rainbow background and drinking coke with slogans such as "Zero Sugar, Zero Prejudice" and "No sugar, no superstition." The ads were displayed in the capital Budapest on train stations and bus stops.

Over 40,000 protestors signed a CitizenGO petition asking the mayor of Budapest and other authorities "for their assistance in removing the posters as soon as possible and to prevent such advertisements from spreading in Hungary."

"For our part, we start by boycotting Coca-Cola. And in our petition, we ask for help in removing the posters as soon as possible and in curbing a homosexual lobby aimed at children, families and society as a whole," the petition launched by Eszter Schittl, campaign director of CitizenGO, Hungary, stated. CitizenGO also launched a phone campaign against Coca-Cola.

On Aug. 4, Boldog István, deputy speaker for Fidesz, party of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, asked Hungarians to join him in boycotting Coca-Cola.

Im going to boycott Coca-Cola over this just on general principal. They already screwed the pooch by having such a marketing campaign in the first place.

I think I’m going to be adding a rainbow to all memes and photos I post from now on, especially those that depict evil or depravity.

I haven’t had a carbonated beverage in over six years, but for this I’m putting Coca-Cola on double secret boycott.

They promote a radical agenda and have more than 2% representation at the executive level, same with newsrooms

There’s a vast chasm between a live and let live attitude when it comes to consenting adults and the media’s promoting of homosexual behavior.
It’s a slippery slope that leads to widespread rejection or ignorance of Nature’s purpose in our Creation.

In the name of Diversity, perhaps they should lay off a few Sodomites in upper management and hire enough business management types to match the actual percentages of people in real life.

Makes it more likely they will not misuse company funds pushing their Bigoted Hetrophobic agenda.

I guess telling them to go EFF themselves would be redundant.

I was an inveterate drinker of Coke, I went through a couple of cases a month on my own for a few decades.

Then I saw this commercial that so disgusted and nauseated me on so many levels that I won't buy their product any more:
