WASHINGTON, D.C., June 15, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- For Gay Pride month, McDonalds franchises in San Francisco and in the nations capital are issuing Pride Fries in rainbow-colored containers.
The rainbow fry boxes are a fun way to show our support of the LGBTQ community, using one of McDonalds most iconic and recognizable items, Cathy Martin of the restaurant corporations Pride Network stated in a press release.
She added that McDonalds is proud to honor and celebrate the LGBTQ community, including our employees, customers and beyond each and every day.
McDonald's is acknowledged as a corporate leader in homosexual affirming and enabling policies. As OneNewsNow reports, The Golden Arches is a major player and sponsor in promoting homosexual behavior across the nation.
McDonalds franchises in the D.C. area are also big sponsors of the homosexual group Capital Pride Alliance, which seeks to normalize homosexual practices across the country.
The fast food behemoth, which raked in $25 billion last year, supports the 2017 Capital Pride parade theme, Lovin Is Lovin, to show gay support. The theme is apparently a take-off of McDonalds popular Im Lovin It commercial tagline.
Not all customers are happy with the gay fries. Evangelist and online personality Joshua Feuerstein issued a call for Christians to boycott the fast food chain.
DISGUSTING! McDonalds released their RAINBOW FRIES today in honor of GAY PRIDE! Feuerstein wrote to his 2 million followers.
Im tired of corporations trying to influence our families like this, Feuerstein continued. SHARE THIS and let people know to STOP EATING at McDonalds!
Plus, their food is crap. Really, the evangelist added.
Feuerstein received media attention in 2015 when he exposed the hypocrisy of Cut the Cake, a Longwood, Florida bakery. He videoed his order for a sheet cake with the message, We do not support gay marriage on it. After the owner refused to write the message, Feuerstein used the refusal to highlight the double standard in law where numerous Christian businesses have been forced to offer services to homosexuals and violate their sincerely-held beliefs.
Feuerstein has since been the target of vitriol from gay advocates. He was even threatened with possible felony charges for requesting the cake.
A San Francisco McDonalds spokeswoman defended the Pride Fries, saying that the corporation has a long history of supporting diversity and inclusion of its employees.
McDonalds added sexual orientation to its anti-discrimination policy in 1999, and updated it in 2013 to include Gender Identity and Expression. The fast food giant began offering homosexual partner benefits identical to married spouses in 2004. McDonalds PRIDE Network for its employees was instituted in 2005.
The pro-homosexual group Human Rights Campaign gives McDonalds a perfect score on its corporate Equality Index, a measure of employer pro-homosexual policies.
Positively EVIL!!! WHY are they PROUD of where they put their penis???
Sorry to hear this. I stop about 3 times a year for McDonald’s fries. I can cut that out. McDonald’s coffee, however, is superb. I just bought a large can. I will finish that off and then that’s the end of McDonald’s for me.
I hope I can find a coffee as good....also a carrot muffin!
Burger King had the “Pride Whopper”, and I stopped going there. The Pride Fries seem to be restricted to local stores in SF and DC, but the national org is funding the march.
I am conflicted, as the local McDonalds’ are owned by our State Rep, who is a pretty sound guy in his votes.
Lowes’ supports Planned Parenthood, but the local Lowes’ donated paint and other things for the new Crisis Pregnancy Center. I figured that more than cancels out the PP donation as far as the local store is concerned.
Gays and vegetarians all think anybody cares what they put in their mouths.
Quite agree the coffee is very good but the faggot fries, no way.
I haven’t been to a McDonald’s in years.
Whit is their to “celebrate” about the LQBGDOTNEXYZ?
Because the mouth is involved touching things that our parents taught us to wash our hands after touching?
Because they seem to lack even a rudimentary understanding of human anatomy, and the functions of various anatomy parts and orifices?
Nothing to celebrate in either case, and, that’s all that is differ t from them and normal people.
Eff the fags
Yet another reason to continue avoiding McSleaze like the plague.
This will NOT make a Happy Meal today!
Very DUMB move! (arrogant corporate Diversity Advocate?)
These places are having a hard time as people become more health-conscious and have less money to spend anyway. All the fast food chains seem to be Hispanicizing their menus to deal with the fact that more and more customers (and US residents) are not “burger types” (white people).
I used to love this stuff, but as I get older I have less of a stomach for it. I’m pleasantly surprised at how few young people I know even eat it (or even drink soda, for that matter).
Faggot Fries
Oh, YUCK!
Really good stuff.
You can buy it at Costco or online.
And furthermore, that’s SO GAY!!!
I don’t go there much anyway, but this seals the deal. No more McD’s for me.
Do you have a costco near you? Try their Guatemalan or Costa Rican. It’s whole bean so you can have them grind it out buy a little grinder
The endemic rainbow infection in every corporate office is really something to behold. The propaganda goes on 24/7 there, so it is little surprise when they bring their safe spaces out to waive around with inane acts like this.
I know they have zero concern about alienating who they consider to be bigots, but can’t families enjoy a simple meal without being inserted into political activities?
But man, think about it; how many pink cancer awareness fries boxes were produced? Pretty insulting that McDonalds is catering to the three or so per thousand, yet ignores the most likely decision maker in having a McDonalds meal. And where were the black boxes during Black History Month?
And you know there’s been suggestions for both cancer awareness and black history and they’ve been told that nothing can change about the iconic red & yellow fries boxes, only to have McD turn around and pull this.
It’s like McDonalds is saying to women and minorities, better get comfortable in the back of the bus, you’re going to be there for a while.
If you have the willpower fries should be avoided.
