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.

Homosexuals really do think they are the majority now.

They certainly seem to have the power of majority now...

They should have put signs on the sides of it that said “My engine sucks air”.

It obviously didn’t do well in the market. Of course, those purchasing other Ford products got to pay for the loss.
