NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–The American Family Association launched a boycott of McDonald’s July 3, saying the restaurant chain’s corporate leaders refuse “to remain neutral in the culture wars” by promoting the homosexual agenda.
An official with the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, while not commenting specifically on the AFA boycott, issued a statement to Baptist Press recapping general principles regarding Christian stewardship in their consumer spending. Tim Wildmon, president of AFA, told The Washington Post that the association proceeded with a boycott when McDonald’s declined to remove itself from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
“We’re saying that there are people who support AFA who don’t appreciate their dollars from the hamburgers they bought being put into an organization that’s going to fight against the values they believe in,” Wildmon said.
AFA says on its new website www.boycottmcdonalds.com that the boycott “is not about hiring homosexuals. It is not about homosexuals eating at McDonald’s. It is not about how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald’s has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.”
The National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, according to its website, “represents the interests of the estimated 1.4 million LGBT owned businesses in the United States. Through its affiliated network of 45 state and local chambers and business organizations, the NGLCC is the largest LGBT business development and economic advocacy organization in the country.” The website also makes clear the chamber lobbies Congress on a wide range of issues related to the homosexual agenda.
