PepsiCo gives $1,000,000 to help promote the gay agenda

Company forces employees to attend sexual orientation classes

PepsiCo has refused a request by AFA to remain neutral in the culture war. The company indicated that it will continue major financial support of homosexual organizations. AFA wrote Pepsi two times (on October 14 and October 29) requesting a meeting to discuss Pepsi’s neutrality in the culture war.

On November 17, AFA received a condescending letter (dated Nov. 7) from Paul Boykas, director, public policy, in which he refused to address Pepsi’s support of the homosexual agenda.

In the last two years, Pepsi has given $500,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and $500,000 to the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The $1,000,000 was to be used to help promote homosexuality in the workplace. Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda. Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion.

Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, the homosexual group financially supported by Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Prop 8.

Pepsi forces all employees to attend sexual orientation and gender identity diversity training where they are taught to accept homosexuality.

I won’t drink Pepsi. Never have, never will.

At least now I have a reason.

They could always paraphrase a Coke slogan and say, “Have a C*** and a Smile”

I don't drink Pepsi, except in restaurants. I believe I will now discontinue that and ask for water.

Between this and their “Obamaesque” new emblem, I’d say that they’ve been bought by the dems. It’s pretty sad that a soft drink company would find it important to have a voice in such an issue in the first place. Do these idiots think that alienating 95% of the population to gain favor of 5% is a smart business decision?

What the hell is a sexual orientation class?

What happens if you flunk the test? Do you have to switch teams?

One of their recent ads (during a football game) looked to me like an ad for Obama. In fact I didn't know it was a Pepsi ad until the last second of the as when they flashed their name. So to Pepsi, I think I'll say, "No, thank you." Let it be a ghetto drink.

I'm with you...I don't drink Pepsi. Acutally, since Coke when to $4+ for a 12-pack I have switched to store brand colas and they are just as good to me...and only $2.25 for a 12-pack.

A boycott probably won't change the minds at Pepsi who make these asinine business decision based on liberal culture instead of selling soft drinks, but it will always make the people who don't support that agenda feel better about their part in supporting it.

But I can say without caution that none of my money has gone - or will go - in to supporting Pepsi Cola and their leftwing agenda.
