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.
When you go across the border for milk, you could pick up some coffee as well j/k
Lol - will do.
Yep, I saw this on FB this morning.
Oh, well. The last cheeseburger I had was lousy so, I wasn’t planning on going back anytime soon, anyway. No great loss.
Chick-fil-A rocks!
McDs does not serve fries. I don’t know what they are but they’re not fries. The homos will use them for lubing their butts.
If McDonalds wants to do something like this,that’s their decision. Just so they realize they are antagonizing more people by doing this than they are hoping to please. “Gay Pride” is not something to be proud of.
Wendy's is also in the top 10 Christian companies.
Are you in Canada? Maybe it’s a Canadian thing?
I’d go to Chic-Fil-A instead but there is always a big line there. Always.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
A coffee I fell in love with while I was driving long haul was Community Coffee. Smooth but gave me that zip that really woke me up.
Link to their web site: http://www.communitycoffee.com
What the hell are they proud of?
If McDonald’s wanted to promote hot cross buns in a cardboard sleeve with a cross on it for Easter, and consumers have a choice about what packaging to receive that would be one thing. But if the pride fries are just given out as propaganda to anyone who orders fries, that’s objectionable and they deserve a big fat boycott. Let them go the way of Target, J C Penney and Starbucks, who all lost money when they got up in the face of the vast majority instead of realizing that prosetylizing for the Church of Progressivism is “above their pay grade.”
Luckily for us, we have a mom-n-pop Chinese take-out in the same strip mall as McD’s, where you can get substantially more food, fresh wokked, for the same money you would spend for microwaved frozen burgers and fries soaked in lord-knows-what recycled oil.
What makes their coffee so good? I hear this from many people.
The slogan:
“I’m ****in’ it.”
Served with a packet of poo?
Frisco and DC? Guess McDonald is worried about boycotts, since they’re not offering it nationwide.
Why so many homosexuals in DC? Are they there to influence politics?
Starbucks has morning glory muffins. Carrot’s in there.
LOL!
McD’s sells carrot muffins in Canada? Not in the USA. Darn it!
