Dear Caroline,
Kraft Inc. is sponsoring the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago. I want to show you what Kraft proudly supports. But before I do that, you need to read what Marc Firestone, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Kraft Foods Inc., said in refusing to cancel their sponsorship.
"Diversity is more than a word many people like to say. At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it's nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recognizing, respecting and valuing these differences helps us be a more successful business and a workplace where all employees can realize their full potential."
The Gay Games can't get a much stronger commitment than that given by Kraft.
Kraft also owns Maxwell House, Post, Oscar Mayer and Nabisco brands, which account for almost 75% of the company's revenues.
The attached photos were taken at the last Gay Games. This is the type activity Mr. Firestone says Kraft recognizes, respects and values. (Warning: These photos are very offensive.) Click here to see the Gay Games photos.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon, Chairman American Family Association
Thanks for the heads up. As of right now, those brands are perma-banned from our household.
"Respecting differences" and pandering to some in-your-face, deviant garbage like the "Gay Games" are two totally different things.
I've despised Kraft ever since I had to drive past their Champaign, Ill. plant twice a day in the 70's.
Pee-eewe!
An actual verifiable source or an active link would be helpful, you know.
No mas cheese burgers made with their products.
Yuk.
The Kraft family of products goes far beyond foods. You might find a boycott to be a bit beyond realistic if you can dig up the long list.

Beat me to it. I must have been actually taking the time to edit the list as you posted yours..LOL
Having a really good cut-and-paste nite here..... *LOL*!
THANKS, wouldn't you know I'd get unexpected company as soon as I posted this.
So let's see if I've got this. The Gay Games, which by their very nature exclude heterosexuals, is inclusive, according to Kraft.
Does that about sum it up?
I'm glad that George Orwell never lived to see how accurate he was.
YOU'RE WELCOME, wouldn't you know you'd be in GOOD company as soon as you posted this?
;-)
Thank You GCR, I was looking for it!
Yea, but I thought it would be on FR not at the house!!!
