But why couldn't we get someone with reasonably healthy food on our side, like Subway? I don't think it is inaccurate to say that the gay community is marginally more concerned about health and fitness than the nation as a whole.
Doncha know this is part of the "gay agenda".. it is our way of "recruiting" young children into being gay... /sarcasm....

Yup. Nothing says "wouldn't you like to be gay?" like the enticingly gay products offered by McDonald's and Ford.

I did find this link...
NGLCC - National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce - NGLCC Adds McDonald’s Corporation Officer to Board

I suspect that it's just a PR move that the AFA has blown out of proportion. There is NO evidence of the extreme of "put full resources behind gay agenda".
Nobody ever said anything like that.
All it is is McDonald's joining yet another Chamber of Commerce (there are even Christian chambers of commerce), and the AFA is pissy that anybody dared to have any association with gays so they freak out.
I went to McDonald's website and couldn't find anything at all about it despite pages and pages touting their social responsibility. As usual, AFA is creating a tempest in their very own (and ver tiny) teapot.

PS: Do you suppose someone at AFA owns a lot of Burger King stock?

I've given this story some thought. And then I realized that I don't really care one way or the other. I just like the fries.

I realize that to some "Family" organizations, honesty is not a "Family" value. (Or at least it seems not so by their repeated actions...)
And for "WorldNetDaily"?

The article talks about the CEO's comments on "social responsibility", and associates the quote with supporting gay marriage.

Small problem with that.
Those words were actually a quote from the CEO OVER 10 MONTHS AGO. Long before the association with the Gay / Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

The Annual Shareholders' Meeting: Fun, Great Results and Social Responsibility

In fact, there is absolutely nothing about gays in the released document from McDonald's.
Ahhh. The duplicity of the anti-gay organizations who make it their bread and butter to smear gays and attack any who would dare to associate with us...
