McDonald's is getting into the gay pride spirit.
The fast-food franchise is serving its signature fries in cheerful rainbow-colored boxes at participating locations throughout the greater California Bay Area, as well as at some D.C. locations.
"McDonald's has always been a company that has supported diversity and inclusion of its employees and extended McDonald's family," McDonald's spokesperson Kim Knapp said in a statement. "We are proud to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, appreciated and supported.
As an official sponsor of this year's Pride festivities, we looked for a unique way to bring that celebration into our restaurants throughout the Greater Bay Area."
The LGBTQ-friendly fries arrive just as San Francisco prepares for its annual Gay Pride Celebration. Events include a rally and two days of speakers and performers at a Civic Center stage.

You aren’t supposed to eat them...
So in the spirit of diversity and inclusion they will be putting crosses on next Good Friday. Right? How about Bible quotes? Lots more Christian customers and employees.
Which is why I hope people understand that what calls itself liberal today is not liberal at all. It is illiberal.
Terrific! Now McDonalds can become a meeting place for gays on the prowl. All they have to do is order fries as a signal.
How about hot cross buns in McCafe?
Heh heh, they sure won’t be ordering the “Filet O’Fish.”
Geez, no wonder some people are terrified of clowns...that vision is disturbing!
Love is too strong a word, but an Egg McMuffin is a good quick breakfast, the fish sandwich is OK and the fries are tasty if you get them still hot from the fryer. BK offers a lot more coupons in our market than Mickey Ds does, though. Had two Whoppers Jr. and two small fries for $3.99 plus tax the other day with a coupon. Sustenance over superiority for Mrs. JimRed and myself when funds are low or we're in a hurry.
Never have seen an In'n'Out so I've never tried 'em.
I drank Coke for about the last 20 years (Pepsi before that) and was drinking a lot of it. I was buying the 12 packs when you can get them for about $2 each on sale, and would stockpile them 8-12 at a time.
About two months ago, I saw a Coke commercial (someone on FR sent me the link because I don’t watch television) and it was a homosexual teenage brother and his sister drooling over a pool boy, fighting each other to see who was going to be able to bring him a Coke first...losing out to the mother who got there first.
That commercial offended me on so many counts, that I gave up drinking Coke right there.
It has been difficult to find alternatives since Coke has tentacles in the beverage industry that go everywhere, but I think I am okay now, drinks of choice are 7-Up, Ginger Ale, and Polar beverages. The one thing I miss is not being able to stop nearly anywhere and just get a diet beverage...Coke One was pretty much the only choice.
I too prefer Chik-fil-A.
Gaaaah!
Secrete sauce ?
They think the folks in flyover country won’t notice—these corporate execs are completely brain dead.
I wonder when they are going to introduce weenies dipped in chocolate ?
We get mc donalds maybe a half dozen times a year we like it I have eaten a mc rib at least once a year since they came out

No but they have a whole plan in the works to make it “The Golden Minarets”
.
Watch for McRainbow fries to drive McDonalds in line behind Target, and JC Penny.
Adios!
.
They just lost a lot of customers. Think they would know better.
