Swiss Air Lines has cut ties with chocolate manufacturer Läderach following left-wing protests of the owner’s membership in a pro-life, pro-family Christian group.

Despite Swiss Air’s ten-year affiliation with Läderach, the airline dropped the chocolatier after protests and extensive vandalism by left-wing activists, homosexuals, and young socialists, according to a report by LifeSite News.

Jürg Läderach, who owns the high-end chocolate company, is also the president of “Christianity for Today” (CFT), a Swiss evangelical organization

Last fall, activists attacked a Läderach store in Basel, Switzerland, using Butyric acid, forcing the store to close for two days. This assault was just one instance of vandalism against the chocolatier, which reportedly took place at seven different stores.

According to the Swiss news magazine Beobachter, negative press surrounding Läderach for its pro-life and pro-family positions was “clearly too much for the airline, which has many gay crew members.”

Swiss Air has thus confirmed that they are truly "homophobic," since their actions are at least partially driven by fear of homosexuals, that of activists who demand economic sanctions (at least) be placed upon any who will not salute the flag of Sodom, so to speak.

Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. (Daniel 3:7)

So the take away, if Swiss Air wants to play tit for tat, we need to avoid Swiss Air, and eat lots of this chocolate.

Agree 100%. And, whether you’ve ever taken Swiss Air or not, write to their hierarchy and tell them you will never use them again, and that you fly over 50,000 miles every year.

"so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."

All the more worse since that includes chocolate.

I pray some major businesses will say enough is enough, but without Christian convictions that is unlikely. But true evangelical Christians should not be intimidated by the psychological tactic of being called homophobic, and instead show charity and give them the gospel, while honestly contending against the denial of the sins that is promoted by such.

Negative effects of homosexual relations

Swiss Air is way better than any domestic carrier I’ve ever traveled with. By a long shot

There’s nothing nastier than an angry queer. Fortunately it would be impossible for them to hate us as much as they hate themselves. Their lives are a suicide in slow motion.
