Ford actually built a 'Very Gay Raptor' in response to an internet troll

Ford responded to an internet troll with a strong statement against homophobia, creating a rainbow and glittery gold-wrapped truck that paraded the streets of Cologne, Germany to celebrate Pride Day.

"Very gay" is how one internet denizen described the new Ranger Raptor Special Edition pickup in a comment on a Ford Europe social media post. The company noticed and, in response, took the concept of a very gay Ranger Raptor and ran with it. According to Ford, the commenter wrote in response to the reveal, "Well... that's a cool car! -But that blue color is very Gay!! Hey Ford! Paint in BlackNGold or camo!"

The commenter sparked a comeback from Ford. On June 25, the company tweeted an animation of the Raptor in its rainbow livery in support of the LGBTQ+ community.

But then Ford went one step further and actually built a Ranger Raptor in said livery. Ford took the "black and gold" recommendation literally, wrapping the truck in the glitziest gold one can imagine. Over the gold, a rainbow swirls around the truck, ending with a pink heart on the tailgate.

I was considering a Bronco or perhaps an F-150 for my next vehicle.

Guess not.

Homosexuals really do think they are the majority now.

When your brand becomes the very symbol of homosexual depravity, it’s not long for this earth.

A return to the days of Genesis chapter 19. What could possibly go wrong?

Tagline.

Just exactly to whom is Ford appealing, with this foray into “curiosity”? There are not that many “tough guys” that would EVER admit to darker impulses, and certainly not to celebrate their “wokeness”. After all, what makes them “tough guys” to begin with?

For has built some worthy vehicles over the years, and some that were were, er, less than stellar. But they always before had let the public find their own level, and planned their production schedules accordingly, not leading with what amounts to a directive that THIS demographic will be promoted to the exclusion of all others.

All those people who were indoctrinated into Woke/Marxist ideology in college over the last few decades finally made their way into management.

Some folks say that Genesis 6 and 7 are also in revival.

The Ranger Raptor IS very gay.

It is good Ford is admitting it. Actually is more Lesbian than Gay.

No Real guy is going to pay $45K for a Ford Ranger.

Gay.

Truth in Advertising.
