40,000 sign petition rejecting Coke's LGBT agenda
BUDAPEST, Hungary (ChurchMilitant.com) - The world's largest and oldest soft drink maker has withdrawn its advertising campaign promoting homosexuality in Hungary after conservative politicians and an online petition called for a nationwide boycott of its products.
Coca-Cola had posted provocative posters of gays and lesbians against a rainbow background and drinking coke with slogans such as "Zero Sugar, Zero Prejudice" and "No sugar, no superstition." The ads were displayed in the capital Budapest on train stations and bus stops.
Over 40,000 protestors signed a CitizenGO petition asking the mayor of Budapest and other authorities "for their assistance in removing the posters as soon as possible and to prevent such advertisements from spreading in Hungary."
"For our part, we start by boycotting Coca-Cola. And in our petition, we ask for help in removing the posters as soon as possible and in curbing a homosexual lobby aimed at children, families and society as a whole," the petition launched by Eszter Schittl, campaign director of CitizenGO, Hungary, stated. CitizenGO also launched a phone campaign against Coca-Cola.
On Aug. 4, Boldog István, deputy speaker for Fidesz, party of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, asked Hungarians to join him in boycotting Coca-Cola.

[[Have they considered promoting soft drinks instead? ]]
Exactly!
the problem is, we Americans don’t boycott in large enough numbers to affect an outcome- that is hwy we needed an organized strong Tea Party- to organize boycotts like this across the whole country to send a very clear message to companies like coke that “NO- it’s not ok for you to promote immorality!”
Have a coke and a schlongcicle
LMAO!
These college educated CEO dummies know so little about life. Trying to guilt customers into accepting nonsense.
Coca Cola executives are real losers.
Don’t drink soft drinks, but I will stop buying Coke’s Dasani brand bottled water.
They already screwed the pooch by having such a marketing campaign in the first place.

No, not yet. Screwed the pooch will be used for their upcoming embrace beastiality campaign.
Indeed!

The irony of an Eastern European country becoming a moral stronghold is surreal to this cold war baby.
I dated a guy whose mom was from Hungary. Seeing old pictures of her reminded me of Eva Gabor and made me wish I was Hungarian. I loved listening to her talk, a beautiful voice and charming accent. I learned about gracious hospitality from her as well. Im so grateful to have known her.
I’ll drink a Zevia Cream Soda every once in a while but have grown fond of club soda with a few splashes of cranberry juice when I’m in the mood for carbonation.
“I cant tell you how glad I am to be in my 60s!”
That’s how bad things have gotten, that we take comfort in the fact that we’ll soon be dead!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Why is the bottle shaped like that?
Be careful. Bowing down to a homo is like dropping the soap in prison.
Thanks! I’ll check around.
“club soda with a few splashes of cranberry juice”
That has to be healthier than high-fructose corn syrup.
