In what could be a first for a global fast food outlet, Burger King is making a bold proclamation in support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community with the launch of a specially packaged burger.
The "Be Your Way" project was created at a Burger King franchise in San Francisco, where a limited edition "Proud Whopper" sandwich was added to the menu to coincide with the city's annual pride festivities. According to press materials, guests who ordered the "Proud Whopper" found that the sandwich was the same as a classic Whooper, but came wrapped in a rainbow-colored wrapper with the inscription, "We are all the same inside."

The burger's release was documented in a short "Be Your Way" film, which was released on Burger King's YouTube page and can be viewed at top.
We are always looking to engage our guests on a local level and be part of regionally relevant events,” said Kelly Gomez, Director of West Coast Field Marketing, Burger King West Division, in an email statement. Given that a Burger King franchise was perfectly situated along the San Francisco Pride Parade route, she added, "It was a natural fit to be involved and celebrate by giving something back to the community.”

Gives new meaning to the term “Pink Slime”.
To echo my post of 30 min ago ... what the corporations want, the corporations get.
Great! Now Whoppers can be linked to AIDS in the US as well then?
Well boycotting Burger King will be easy for me since their burgers are horrible.
Not really.
Some folks have rectal damage inside... others not so much.
I’m not even going to go there.
Literally & figuratively.
Psst...want to see my “Proud Whopper.”
Yuck. Another corporation off my list. I’ll never understand the need to suck up to 2%.
An easy company to drop from my business
Who knew the king was such a queen?
I don’t do fast food....clogged arteries...to much money for some ‘gay’ company to waste...
I love to do my own food, that way I KNOW what is being put inside of it....
Besides garbage food...another reason not to eat at Burger King.

You said a mouthful!
BK,off my list of emergency acceptable alternatives.
Well, if it’s properly prepared with eternity in mind, it will be served burnt to a crisp.
Bow to the 2%, America.
They chose poorly.
Only in America do we promote gay sex, and then have corporations seek to make money from it
Let’s help Chick FIL A see record sales increase
