Comments on this article:

"Its completely wrong that McDonald's is doing this. And whats worse, if they gave full support to heterosexuals there would be a massive protest by the gay community, what has happened to this country that we favor minorities yet turn the other cheek when something like this happens?"
"We will not give our money to a company that uses it to support the homosexual agenda. By supporting their agenda, you are going AGAINST mine. How dare you? Wendy's and Burger King, etc will be getting our families' business from now on."
"I'll miss my fix, but McDonald's has no business in this arena and our family will exercise our choice. Pax"
"We have been customers of McDonalds for years, supported the Ronald McDonald house. It was always family friendly. NO MORE. How sad."
"Last night I took my 6 year old to Wendy's instead of her favorite McDonald's because of the stand on gay issues."
"i went to mcdonald's a lot for sweet tea and chicken sandwiches but i will not be back until this support of the gay agenda ends. thank you. rob in IL"
"My family and I have not gone to McDonalds for months due to the first instance I heard about this support. We loved McDonald's, but will never go there again as long as it supports these kinds of agendas. I now will redouble my efforts to tell as many people as I know just what McDonald's apparently is about."
"You have forced me to change a family tradition of going to Mac's on Mondays. No more. Your choice to hate my lifestyle forces me NOT to support yours."
"I absolutely support diversity. However I absolutely oppose you forcing your values on my family. We are officially boycotting McDonalds."
"McD's has always been an American Symbol for "Family" value(s). Seeing the golden arches has always reminded us that there still was a place to take the kids (now grandkids) for a quick value meal and some family fun. I can't help but see the golden arches now standing for a political agenda and an organization that now spends time and money to further anti-family values. NO MORE McD's for this family. Find another source for your funds!"
"I'll never go to McDonalds again!!!"
"Come on McDonald's, stay remain neutral in this culture of homosexualty. It is not hate. Do you not have the Holy Bible somewhere in your offices. I know you do."
"I have been going to Mcs since 1970, now never again. Can't they just sell hamburgers?"
"We will now eat ANYWHERE ELSE!"
"I will never go in a McDonald's again, as long as I live. It's disgraceful. Coach"
"Disapproval of a life choice is not synonomous with hate. I resent the word twisting of the homosexual community that equates my disapproval of homosexuality as hating the people that engage in that activity. That doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't make any sense for a corporation to attempt to influence morality when the government nor anyone else is capable of accomplishing that goal. Such endorsement could only be taken as a pushing of an agenda. In the days when TV broadcasting companies attempt to distance themselves from various contributor's opinions, it seems odd to have a huge company like McDonalds go out of their way to not only endorse homosexuality but to encourage it as well. If you - McDonalds - want to allow your employees to participate in moral choices, why would that require you to support the organization of that moral choice. And no, you cannot prove that is not a choice."
"I used to be a regular customer, but not any more as long Mcd is supporting this agenda . James"
"We believe in God and family (unlike McDonald's), so we will only eat at restaurants who share our values. Sorry, McDonald's, you're off our list."
"I am so dissapointed that you choose not to remain neutral in the cultural war and more so that you are so open about your support of the gay & lesbian organization. I have always known you to be a family fast food chain where children enjoy eating. I will no longer patronize McDonald's and will tell everyone I know not to as well. I am so glad AFA has taken action on this issue, remember.. we did it to Ford and we can do it to you. We have other dining choices and I'm sure Whataburger & Jack in the Box are loving our business. We'll be praying for you."
"i love mcdonalds but i will not put my money where it wiil breakdown family values. mcdonolds was started for families"
"I will no longer buy anything at McDonald's until you choose to support the family."
"This is a disappointment to read of McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. I will not be spending any money at McDonald's unless they make a change in their policy of pushing and supporting the homosexual agenda."
"My "family" has given McDonald's dollars of business over the last 20 plus years, because of it's family oriented business code, but NO LONGER. We you stoop so low as to give away your customer's hard earned money to give to such a far out and anti-biblical cause I and many others will NO LONGER support you. I will continue to support Chick Fil A and any other of your competitators. Keep up this stance and YOU, MCDONALDS will be OUT of BUSINESS! NO MILLIONS SERVED! Thank you/"
"The morning crew at my McDonald's knows me and knows my regular order. But today, my breakfast came from Sonic. I will continue to boycott McDonald's as long as they actively encourage homosexuality. Of course, I don't support discrimination against gays - or anybody else! But none of MY dollars will go to McDonald's for them to use for this agenda!"
"I am saddened that McDonalds has chosen to support the homosexual community both financially and philosophically. I and my family will boycott McDonalds until they reverse this pro-homosexual policy and remove their corporate name from the NGLCC. Sincerely-teve oody"
"I've eaten at McDonald's for as long as I can remember. I have had my children's birthday parties there, and enjoyed the food and family atmosphere for years. It will be sad to me to think of never darkening your doors again. But, the way I look at it is, this was your choice. You are choosing political correctness over the American Family. So, I will choose other restaurants to feed my family."
"I am sorry to hear about your support of the homosexual agenda. I cannot support your business, just as I would not support any business who is pouring patrons' money into any socially harmful activity. Would you support an organization that promoted alcoholism, drug abuse, pedophilia? It is really no different, especially in the harmful effects it has on our society."
"I don't eat at McDonald's anyway, but this will ensure that forever. Your drop in business is not due to lack of support for homosexuals, but it is due to poor quality of food. Children still like your food, however, but it is unfortuate that a restaurant which caters to children has such lack of tolerance for traditional family values and is using its influence to fight those values."
"My first job way back when, in high school, was at McDonald's. I eventually became a Manager and worked there for a few more years. I had fun then, it was a good experience, a good company to work for...no longer. I have eaten at McDonald's more times per week than I would care to admit. But when I learned of McDonald's support of the gay agenda, that all stopped for me, my wife, and our sons. McDonald's is now a thing of the past. I have switched to Chick-fil-A and Wendy's instead, I don't miss the golden arches at all! Sorry Ray C., look what they have done to the company you founded..."
"McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda is misguided and unfortunate. Such a "family" restuarant should seek to support the traditional mores and values, not those of a small but very vocal and agressive lobby. I and my family will no longer patronize your restuarants. We need to follow our conscience. McDonald's should have remained neutral. You underestimate how many folks your political support has offended."
"My family and I will no longer spend our time nor our money at McDonald's. We cannot eat another meal there until they change their policy on the gay issue. You are making a mockery of the true meaning of family! Shame!!!"
"My family of 5 has always preferred McDonalds over every other restaurant until now. I have also always shared my positive experience being trained for the workforce by McDonalds as it was the first job I had. I am so sad on every level at the stance McDonalds has taken on this issue. It reveals how far they have strayed from their original ideals and that they too are falling prey to the Homosexual agenda of legitimizing this immoral lifestyle and actually celebrating this sick and twisted movement."
"First they have a not using American beef anymore agenda and now they are promoting homosexual agenda's...you lost my business on the first agenda and you definitely won't be receiving our support or business concerning the second aganda...this encludes all our family and friends...!!!!"
"How can a company who helps ill children and their families through Ronald McDonald House connect their name to and support such an immoral cause? Has anyone from McDonalds seen the pictures from this gay parade? It just boggles the mind!!! I and some friends stopped at McDonald's every Saturday night after Mass to have a bite to eat and a cup of your coffee (which I truly love) but neither my values nor my friends' values will be compromised for a cup of coffee. You have seen the last of us. Your competitors, however, will be seeing us at a minimum every Saturday."
"I won't be shopping at McDonald's."
"Since hearing of your outright support of the homosexual agenda I will NOT eat at McDonald's again, and I will tell all my friends of this."
"May God have mercy on those ignorant of his word. May those who blatantly disobey reap what they sow!! NEVER again will I take my children, grandchildren or anyone I know!!"
"My family and I will no longer be patronizing McDonald's."
"Shame Shame I will not give my hard earned money to McDonalds."
"I am sorry that you you are supporting a cause that will destroy our famileys/ and nation"
"I will not eat or order from McDonalds any more"
"I am very disappointed that McDonalds is NOT neutral in the CULTURAL issues over homosextuality. I love your tea and hamburgers. I am in the military and travel and eat at McDonals even last weekend. I will now STOP eating there and will share this information with all my family because you only care about a limited group of citizens. THIS IS NOT DIVERSITY THIS IS CLEAR BIAS. I WILL GO TO BURGERKING AND ARBYS 5 for 5.95"
"I have a six year old son, how do I explain this to him. Yeah, thats what I thought, I'll keep him out of your restaurant until he's old enough to comprehend the issue, which is about twelve more years."
"I LOVE WENDY'S"
"My biggest disappointment in McDonalds is the nudity that was seen by those who did not want to see it. Because you seem to have no tactfulness, we refuse to support you after 35years of my life. Sad day in America."
"We are no longer bringing our family to McDonalds in protest of their support for a lifestyle we believe is destructive to healthy families."
"I am very disappointed in the McDonald's promotion and support of the gay agenda. As a world-wide corporation, and a family restaurant, you are doing all a disservice by not remaining neutral in this cultural issue. I will no longer buy from McDonald's stores."
"my family and I and all our friends have already quit going to mcdonalds we will not spend anymore of our money there."
"It's one thing not to discriminate against who you hire, but it's another to outright support an organization that is so wrong. Please rethink your position because you are wrongfully supporting a group that is against all that we as humans were intended to be... you are doing more harm to our society than good!"
"Sorry, but you've gone too far this time - no more McDonalds for me"
"It is not the place of a buisness to promote an alternate lifestyle. This is wrong. Thats why it is called alternative lifestyle. Not the normal"
"What's next? Man boy love groups? They claim the same science/medical status...they were born with the DNA that makes them that way. When are you going to make a stand for real family values."
"Love your salads,fruit parfaits and wraps, but will now eat at Wendy's instead! Bill"
"I am sorry that you feel you have to PROMOTE the homosexual agenda, My husband and I were just riding to our sons college and mentioned that McDonalds is the best place to stop for a quick inexpensive meal. I am sorry to say that we will not be patronizing your restaurants any longer. I feel the traditional family is a very important part of society and I can not support those who oppose it. Sincerely Kathleen Tanzer"
"I have always considered McDonalds as a family-oriented establishment. You should seriously reconsidder your commitment to this anti-family agenda and re-commit to the real families that have supported your company for so many years. Sorry, but its Us or Them! Do the right thing and set a good example for all companies. If you stand by your decision, I will actively boycott yoru establishments and be very active in spreading the word among the real families of Florida."
"I am ashamed that the most famous fast food restaraunt in the United States has chosen to take this stand. What does this say about America? It certainly does not promote what themajority of America stands for!!! As for being motivated by hate..that is obsurd!!! Family values are just that "Family Values". Family id 1 man 1 woman= a child, without help from an outside source!!!"
"I will definitely boycott. Me and my family, including kids, grandkids, cousins, and parents have received message and agree on boycotting. If I figure right based on just my family alone, will keep about $1300 a year from these idiots. Others that follow should equate to less business."
"At our recent pastor's continuing ed. sessions, we were in full agreement that we would not eat any meals at McDonald's. They are certainly not family oriented when they support organizations such as this."
"The customer is always right! McDonald's should have remained neutral? Don't our values matter. Apologize to your customers."
"I am a grandmother who has occasionally taken those precious grandchildren to McDonald's because they enjoyed it despite my misgivings about the quality of food they would ingest. It is obvious that food is a minor concern compared to the depravity that supporting gay pride exhibits. One can only speculate as to motives other than the obvious one of money. Such a business has far to go to regain any support from this grandmother!"
"No more big macs for me and my family. From now on I will spend my money at Chick Fil-A and other places that represent the values I hold dear. Shame on you McDonalds!"
"McDonalds taste for supporting the gay agenda has ruined my taste for their food. I will not patronize their establishment until they cease their support of the gay agenda."
"McD is not a place for me and my children"
"it is a cheap place to eat, but my soul is more important to me than eating cheap!! bye mickey D's..."
"We are disgusted by McDonald's actions concerning homosexuality. Our family will no longer have anything to do with McDonald's. McDonald's is no longer a family resturant!"
"im not lovin it mcdonalds you will not get anymore of my money"
"Dear McDonald's Corporation, I will no longer buy anything from McDonald's restaurants. I am notifying my family, friends and associates of your decision to embrace this perverse lifestyle and contribute to the demise of our culture"
"I do not intend to eat at MacDonalds again until they change their view and I will tell all my friends and family to do the same."
"We will no longer visit McDonalds until you stop your militant pro gay activity."
"We enjoy eating an easy meal at McDonalds but now that you are openly supporting the sinful gay lifestyle and boldly say you are acting correctly has made it impossible for me and my family to STOP eating at McDonalds. Please reconsider your foolish stand. From just my family you are losing $300 or more dollars a year."
"For years our family has supported your establishment. No more! You have made a colossal Mc-stake in thinking that the very people who have caused you to thrive will continue to line your pockets so that you can give money that will cause a further break down of the values that I believe our nation was founded on. Go left and go without our support. You have lost much in this decision--particularly our respect.Bad call--"
"My moral compass will be pointing to another place to find a burger."
"Thank you AFA for this website! I am so glad to see there are people still left in America who actually care about family values besides myself. I am sick and tired of a small group of people pushing there personal agendas on the rest of the American public because they think they have the correct definition of right and wrong in there minds and hearts, when they couldn't be further from the truth. They like to hide behind and promote the word "Hate" along with their agenda so they can buffalo others into believing their trully destructive lifestyle is ok will not "affect" you or anyone else. There is a serious attack against real familiy values, or at least what they used to be. I will no longer bring my business to Mcdonald's, or any other business owned by Mcdonald's, like Boston Market. Sorry Mcdonald's, Im not "Lovin' it" anymore."
"Was it back in 1959 that you first came to MA? I think so. Well you have GONE a long way baby away from the family fun restaurant you use to be. Sorry you have deceided to take such a road, and have lost your way. No more will we be entering your door."
"Sad to say I worked for McDonalds But thand God I don't anymore And neither will my family members we will no longer spend any money at any of these establishments. We can eat hamburgers and fries at home."
"We found out what McDonald's was doing when we were pulling into your parking lot to eat. We turned around and went across the street to Jack's. We are a family of seven with five chidren. When we explained to the kids what you are supporting, same sex marriage and the homosexual lobby agenda, THEY DID NOT WANT TO EAT AT YOUR RESTAURANT. With five children, McDonald's truly was our restraunt of choice before. NOW, MCDONALDS NO LONGER REGISTERS ON OUR RESTRAUNT RADAR. We do not hate ANYONE, but as Christians, we do not agree with homosexual lifetyles/agenda, and we will no longer spend any money with your establishement since you are CHOOSING to support and promote it. We really will pray for your company leadership. They are sadly misled. A FEW POINTS TO PONDER: 1)We are no longer your customers. 2) Our children are no longer your customers. 3)Many of our friends are no longer your customers. 4)When we pass McDonald's now, the parking lots seem emptier than before."
"This is not how my parents raised me. This goes against all my values. I still remember growing up in Bradenton,Florida and how the Shake Pit Restaurant on Manatee Ave. still stands after Burger Chef & McDonalds opened across the street and we all stayed loyal to Shake Pit because of the family values they have & the way they treated us. Like Family. I now live in Redington Beach and will never step foot in a McDonald's again unless they think about our Christian values. My Father served in World War 2 along with his 3 brothers and these were not the values of our service men or our forfathers. McDonald's is a money hungry disgrace. Please reconsider what message you are sending out to all your customer's."
"Think on this McDonald's...It looks like you Want to share your money with other fast foods by sending your many families else where by giving out a bad tasting choice in choosing to support sin. well this FAMILY has just done that! That is our choice! the truth will set you free!"
"Promoting gay rights is not what I go to McDonalds for. If individuals want to support this or other causes, they can do so on their own time and on their own dime. I'm for non-discrimination in the workplace and and in society, but do not want a corporation to endorse the agenda of anybody or any group."
""Please reconsider! Our family of five has enjoyed your food for years but can not continue to do so knowing that our money is going towards your new cause and the breakdown of families. We urge you to continue being a place where traditionally wed families feel comfortable.""
"I won't be eating there anymore, plain and simple."
"I have eaten at McDonald's on a regular basis in the past, but I will not be eating at any McDonald's restuarant based upon your outspoken support of the homosexual agenda. Thank God for Truett Cathey &Chic-Fil-A!"
"me and my family will never eat at mcdonalds again unless policy changes"
"McDonald's is overrated anyways. Most food is bad-tasting and bad for you. Try Subway for a healthier option! Subway-Eat fresh, not subpar garbage that has been sitting under a heat lamp."
"I have enjoyed McDonald's menu offering lower fat meals and it's close to where I work. Unfortunately, I can't give my dollars to a company who aggressively supports the homesexual agenda. McDonald's used to stand for a family atmosphere. The gay pride march was anything but family oriented. You have the best fries in town but you'll have to keep them as I choose to eat elsewhere."
"i will not eat at mcdonald nor take my 6 grandchildren carlean"
"Even though it has been hard for us, our family of 10 has stopped eating at McDonalds since we found out you are pushing anti-family values. We plan to continue our boycott until McDonalds stops pushing the homosexual lifestyle. We don't hate anyone, but we certainly don't like your arrogant attitude. Now we are trying new restaurants that we had never considered before."
"I have just gotten to where I enjoy mcdonald's food. I love some of the newer menu items where there was a time when mcd's was the last place I'd go. needless to say i'm disappointed that mcdonalds has chosen an anti-family path. The company may not see it that way, but supporting the gay agenda is supporting anti-family values. I'm sorry to say my family will not be eating at mcdonalds anymore until we see a change of heart."
"Our church, of several thousand, no longer offers McDonald's breakfast in its cafe. I no longer purchase product at any of your restaurants. I hope that others who do not agree with your agenda will take a stand for what they believe."
"Why do corporations/companies feel the need to support immorality (what ever the issue is)? Any stand for God or anything related to God is now considered old fashioned and anything but right. I am taking a stand and teaching my child that the Bible is right and I am putting a stop to supporting an organization that doesnt care if they keep my business!!!"
"Starting today, August 19th, My family and I will no longer be eating at McDonald's because of their uncalled for support of homosexual activism."
"McDonald's has always been thought of as a child friendly place. My family and I will not eat another McDonalds meal because of their lack of common sense and good judgement to the family and it's structure. Good Bye and good ridence."
"The bottomline is that I will not spend my money on a company that turns it around and spend it on unethical behavior. What's next?"
"I'm so disappointed in the refusal of McDonald's to remain neutral on the homosexual agenda. My family has not eaten at McDonald's for the last month, though we had ample opportunity to do so on our travels. Instead, we chose places who do what they are supposed to do: serve food and stay neutral on these issues."
"To McDonalds Coop. Sorry to hear about your support of the Gay and Lesbian goals. There will be no more visits to your stores from my family and friends."
"Mc Donald's fail to realize our free society requires idealism and virtue. Buggery equals decadence. I neither enhances nor ennobles our society"
"Yesturday,I purposedly avoided going to McDonalds for dinner. They can count me out as a customer from now on."
"WELL< WELL< those who have profited the most from families are biting the hand that feeds them... why would mcdonalds not remain nuetral on this issue? why is live and let live one-sided? what does a happy meal have to do with what you do morally? YOU TELL ME>>> if you don't know, maybe you betterr start asking yourself some questions."
"I am disappointed on your supporting the Gay agenda. I will boycott McDonalds until you respect family values."
"I don't hate gays, I feel very sorry for them. If your funding is to help reabilitate them so they can lead a normal life, then I support it. If not, then I've made my final stop at McDonalds."
"Because of your continued support of The GAY ACTIVIST agenda, and being on their board of Directors, I WILL NO LONGER be a customer of ANY of your restaurents. And with 4 children... I WAS a pretty active customer."
"I never plan on eating at McDonald's for the rest of my life now."
"My family will no longer patronize McDonald's. We are disappointed in your blatantly political stance on Prop 8, and will spend our money elsewhere."
"I'm sorry to hear you feel the homosexuals are better than the rest of us. I won't be buying you products in the future."
"It appears that McDonald's is no longer safe for our children, since they have joined the race to support this agenda. McDonald's is no longer "My McDonald's" as their slogan indicates. I will be praying for McDonald's and for the GBLT community that they will not endure anymore humiliation or persecution from this and will choose to remain neutral and choose morality over indecency. My family and I do not spend our money at McDonalds, but I can honestly say that I have not gotten the word out like I need to. I will be spreading the word in my community now though...it's obvious that they have no intention of reversing their decision. I should be informing Wal-Mart customers as well."
"I think the heads of McD's Corp. can be more rescourceful that this. My family will no longer give you any of our money. That is a lot of responsibility to be head of where money is spent. There are lots of other areas you could really be of help. Please reconsider where you put your support!"
"I use to love eating breakfast at McDonald's, but not any more!! They need to either stop the promotion or change the golden arches to pink ones."
"I have always thought that the McDonald's restaurants were for the betterment of American People and for family values. I am disappointed greatly, and with much heartache please know that I refuse to enter your restaurant and will encourage others to do so until you reconsider. I do not support the flagrant lawlessness and perversion in the gay/lesbian movement and will not support anyone that does."
"We have been and will continue to boycott McDonald's until you become neutral in your support of the gay and lesbian agenda."
"Wendy's and Chick fil-A now has all our business. Your agenda is totally offensive, and you can be sure I will spread the word to everyone I know to boycott McDonald's."
"I just found out about this, and I am requesting you stay nuetral. I am a national speaker, and I will be asking everyone I know to boycott, forever if needed, McDonalds until is chooses to remain nuetral again. It is my favorite fastfood, but have no problem going to Burger King or Wendy's (have already started). I hope you reconsider. Thanks for listening."
"We are heartsick that McDonalds is bowing to the pressure of the gay agenda - you're supposedly a "family" friendly establishment. Well, not anymore. You are now a "past" restaurant for us - there are so many others we will now get our meals from. Your breakfasts were great, too. Well, not anymore! We sure pray that there are thousands out there who feel the same way as we and so many others feel about your new stand with the gay movement. We will tell all we come in contact with. -MI"
"I am so utterly disappointed in McDonald's. Advertised as a "pro-family" restaraunt, has chosen to walk down a sad path. I am not for discriminating against anyone, but when I see pictures of what McDonald's supports--it sickens me! I will never spend one more penny at this place of business. There are many more deserving places to choose from. This is so sad!"
"I am very sad to learn about the promotion of homosexuality by McDonald's. Our family will not be making our weekly or bi-weekly visit to play and enjoy a McDonald's meal."
"So disappointed to find out about McDonald's support of the gay agenda. My family will be staying FAR away from McDonald's !!!!!"
"Since you as a company have chosen to be pro-active in promoting gay and lesbian lifestyle in contrast to promoting Biblical lifestyle, I and my family and my friends will be choosing to eat at McDonald's again. It is not about "hate" (as you put it) of these people. It is about your desire to impose it on our country (80% whom claim to be Christian). It is a matter of "distaste" for you position and now your burgers. Richard Wheeler"
"I can't support a company that fights against moral principles that I esteem as critical. We will no longer eat at McDs."
"I cannot believe that McDonald's is supporting the gay agenda. I will boycott McDonald's and am very disappointed in their decision."
"How could you say you are a family rest. I use to take my Grandchildren there before going to church. Not anymore,we will visit Burger King. Or Chick Filet. Thanks L/Dadin"
"The McDonalds Stores used to be a cool place to take the children. Now your company has decided to comply with those of the homosexual movement. I will not be taking my family to any of your stores at all ever. What you people are doing is wrong and immoral. I feel sorry for the children who see what kind of people you have turned out to be. And I sure hope that through this boycott your profits tumble. I sure hope you lose more custtomers as you have now lost my family as customers."
"Father of three, pastor of a thriving local family oriented church, business owner, president of local ministerial association, active chamber of commerce member, and FORMER patron of McDonalds. Happy Meals are a favorite of my children, Big Macs are my wifes favorite meal however we will find other places to enjoy our family meal time together. I will also encourage all those within my circle of influence to do the same. Its sad to see a company like McDonalds make such poor decisions and force anti family and anti christian agendas on your faithful customers. We will be Eating elsewhere till you publically change your association with the NGLCC..."
""I refuse to contribute to any company or organization that openly supports the gay agenda. Marriage is between a man and a woman, and no amount of corporate spending or political rhetoric can change that. Truth is truth; whether you choose to believe it or not doesn't make it any less true. Sorry, McDonald's, you're no longer an option for me.""
"It is out of love, not hate, that I boycot McDonalds decision to support the gay agenda. I love my family of 6 which no longer utilizes your company services. I love my God who tells us that the life style you promote is unhealthy for those who pracitce it and for the society that embraces it. I love the family and the tradition of one man and one women joined by God and with God to accept life and build a strong family and healthy society. Although we enjoyed McDonalds french fries and McFlurries and playlands, we, out of love will no longer attend until the restaurant that was built on "family" goes back to its roots and supports those who made it what it is today. My God guide you to do what is right in His eyes and not the eyes that have blinded you to true hope and love."
"My family is amazed & VERY disappointed that FORMERLY family-oriented, family-friendly McDonald's, has actively chosen to support the activist homosexual agenda. No more McDonald's for us!!"
"I think Mcdonalds needs to stick to making burgers and stay out of the Gay Rights movement. This movement is undermining family values and goes against what the Bible says is to be a union of a MAN and a WOMAN. Please do not take this comment as an assult on Homosexuals, as it is not. I am not speaking out of hate and this is not a personal attack on those who believe their homosexual lifestyles are normal.I am simply stating my beliefs. If I am forced to hear their beliefs why then when I speak my side am I considered a hateful person."
"FOr years I have been good to start my day with McDonald's coffee, etc.. and who knows what on the weekends. I have stopped cold turkey, and will remain so as long as McDonald's actively promotes the homosexual agenda."
"I'm going to miss the bacon,egg and cheese biscut, but I cannot support a company that does this."
"I am extremely disappointed that corporations can no longer simply conduct business and stay out of political agendas. I am a Christian and do NOT hate homosexuals - only what they stand for. God loves them in spite of the lifestyle choices they have made, and that is what I try to do as well. However, I DO have the choice as to whether or not my money is spent in a business that openly supports something that I am completely against. We're being told to keep our opinions to ourselves - why can't McDonald's do the same thing ???"
"I have a few friends who are homosexuals. I love them dearly but I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle. It is unnatural and I do not want my grandchildren to grow up "learning" about the "alternative" lifestyle. I disagree with you, McDonald's, and I will not support you any longer."
"I'm so disappointed in McDonald's!"
"I will not be stopping at McDonald when you are supporting an agenda that stands for everything that is against my moral values. I don't hate anyone but can't endorse the homosexual life style."
"I understand equality in the workplace, but promoting and sponsoring a parade that is obviously contrary to this country's moral values (not to mention X-rated) and believing that this is what equality is about has cost McDonald's my business. This is supposed to be a "FAMILY" restaurant!!!"
"I oppose same sex marriage. I also oppose McDonald's support of the gay and lesbian community and the promotion of their lifestyle. I believe, however, that everyone should be treated fairly. McDonald's position on this issure will definitely affect my decision to patronize their establishments."
"McDonald's is an American favorite. But so are family values. Our country was built on Christian teachings. Christianity doesn't teach hatred of people, but it teaches hatred of sin. We are to be set apart - holy. I used to feel sorry for people who chose to ignore God's commands and the teraching of Jesus. I don't anymore because these people are making informed choices. They choose their lifestyle. Think about it: would God call it a sin and then tempt His creation to commit the wrong?"
"I have no problem with you hiring, serving, etc of gays...I have a problem with your prejudice against those of us who are not gay. You should be equal. Do you put funds into the promotion of "normal" sexual relationships????"
"Not only my immediate family, but extended family as well will not eat at another McDonald's until the corporation decides to remain neutral on issues of the homosexual agenda. Your corporation has lost our respect and we will not step foot in McDonald's until you change your stance on the above issues. We do not hate anyone, and this is not about who you hire, who eats at your establisments etc., this is simply about your endorsement of the spreading of the homosexual agenda through your $$$."
"I'm boycotting until McD goes neutral. I don't hate anyone."
"Our family of five would like McDonald's to reconsider being involved in supporting a group that is not for promoting families. Remember who it was that helped you become what you are today--the American FAMILY. Please choose to remove your membership in the NGLCC and remain neutral on the subject of homosexuality."
"This is to let you know how much we will miss McDonalds food, but we will not be purchasing anymore until you stop your support of the gay agenda. We will also be encouraging our friends to stop eating there as well."
"I have not eaten at a McDonald's since I was made aware of them supporting the homosexual agenda."
"The pro "gay" agenda McDonald's has taken is an anti family stance that is destructive to the moral integrity of our nation. Individuals do have the right to choose their lifestyle and everyone, regardless of their choice is to be treated with respect. But history and research reveal the social (and personal) destruction that occurs as a result of choosing homosexuality (and other sexual immorality) as a "valid alternative lifestyle". I cannot suupport you in your choice against our people and nation."
"My son just had his last Happy Meal!"
"I am so disappointed in McDonalds. so much for family values. No more eating there. I will be contacting the local McDonald's. What a waste of $20,000, when their are so many worthy causes."
"If McDonalds think I hate homosexuals because I oppose this lifestyle, they don't have any understanding what they are doing. If homosexuality was so wonderful, why is there so much death and disease spread within the gay community? Why is the average life expentancy of peoplep who choose the gay lifestyle 20 years less than heterosexual lifestyles? One has to ask the question...Why do you support the pre-mature death of gay and lesbians? If you truely care for the welfare of someone, you would not allow them to lead destructive lives."
"McDonalds has made most of their profit on the back of heterosexual families. McDonalds shouldn't turn their back to the segment of the population that made them and are the only segment that can sustain them."
"My family & I spend $20.00-25.00 every week in your restaurant. Not anymore. Shame on you!"
"Please remain neutral in the cultural war and not take sides against others. You are a food establishment."
"This is very disappointing and not about hate. I will also be boycotting your restaurants, each one in Tucson, AZ and all in between to Las Vegas that I used to visit. When was the last time your "focus on diversity" team donated $20,000 or even close to it to an organization like the American Family Association or any that support the family values? Who is motivated by hate as you are supporting an agenda geared to destroy the traditional family?"
""You have taken money that our family, and millions of others, have contributed to the success of the McDonald's Corp. and chosen to use it for an agenda that defies the foundation of our nation, the family, as created by a man and woman." "I have signed this Boycott because of the actions of your company. Your support of the Gay Agenda is disappointing." The above quotes say it all for me. Neither I or my family will ever spend our money at McDonalds again."
"I haven't gone to a McDonald's since I discovered what their agenda is. I notified friends and family of this and sent info to the cable news stations regarding their bias against families with moms and dads."
"You've crossed the line in destroying family values! We and our grandchildren do not eat at your joints any more! Hope you go out of business!"
"What's that sound...it's McDonald's stock price falling from parents taking there kids to Wendy's and BurgerKing."
"I am so happy to see people standing up for what's right and not supporting something so wrong. My children and I have eaten at Mcdonalds for 36 yrs. Not anymore, and I will tell everyone I know about this. Hollywood and Corporations can have their opinions, but should keep them to themselves and not use our money to support their agendas."
"My family has enjoyed your fun restarant for years, but we will no longer give our money to a company that supports the gay agenda. It is a destructive lifestyle, and I won't be part of supporting that. Please reconsider."
"I disagree with your position on homosexuality and will no longer take my six grandkids to any of the McDonald stores."
"Burger King and chick Fil-a all the way!! No more McDonalds for me and my family."
"No more cold limp fries, not so clean resturant and Spanish speaking non- English employees for us. So dad to see our America down the toilet. Married 38 years to a man and have a wonderful MARRIAGE and yes we are BREEDERS, isn't that what the queers call us traditionals that are a family. Funny how they want to adopt a breeders child. Poor choice McDonalds."
"I would like to encourage you to put the money you are spending on the gay pride movement toward AIDS research. THIS benefits everyone."
"I have always taken my grandchildren to Mc I have always taken my grandchildren to McDonalds,but I will incourage them to eat somewhere else until you change your position on gays."
"I can't believe McDonalds is choosing to destroy their image of being a family/kids restaurant! Have the powers that be lost their minds???"
"hello, this is an unfortunate & harmful lifestyle to those in it. We hope they will be able to get out of it, and feel that McD. heads in the opposite direction. We'll be eating elsewhere and hope McD will reconsider."
"We don't love anything at McDonald,s enough to support you or compromise us for this. Our family is trying to teach our children right from wrong, and to love the Lord and do his will. Sorry but you are not who we want in our lives or for any example. No more Mac's , or anything from there for us. It's not good to know you anymore."
"Thank you for making your hidden adgenda public. Now that we know for sure who you are we will be going elsewhere for refreshment."
"I hope that you will reconsider your position and remain neutral on the position of gay rights. Our family of 7 will now drive a little futher up the road to Wendy's as long as McDonalds supports Gay Rights"
"My family of 5 used to eat at your restaurant every Wed. after church. Not any more. We will not spend any money there nor support any agenda of yours."
"I will never step foot in McDonalds again!! You are supposed to support family values, this is a poor example of that!"
"My family began boycotting McDonald's as soon as the first attention was brought to their support of the Gay/Lesbian agenda. We will continue to boycott McDonald's until at least a year goes by after they stop supporting the Gay/Lesbian agenda."
"McDonald's has a right to spend their money any way they want - and so do I. McDonald's has received their last dollar from me. I hope that their loving it! The food is as healthy, as this decision. It brought them short turn gain for long term pain - they will have to raise prices to maintain stockholder value - good luck!"
""Our family used to eat at McDonald's about 2 or 3 times a week. I love the convenience of McDonald's, but I love my God more. My children asked why can't we go to McDonald's anymore mom? I said, because they are choosing to support people that are gay and we want to do what is right by God. It is important to take a stand. They said, Oh. Now my four children tell there friends and my husband and I haven't stopped telling our friends. We bring it up whenever we get the chance. As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of bringing it before our elders at our church. We have about 425 families at our church. School starts next week. I will make it my mission to tell as many families as I possibly can to boycott McDonalds. I bet we could spread the word pretty fast."
"Dear McDonald's: So long. Dear Burger King: Hi!"
"If you want to support the gays and lesbians then I won't purchase any more food from you. You could have remained neutral, but you didn't. So I have to uphold my morals and stand against you. It was a good friendship while it lasted. Maybe we can be friends again if and when you change your position on gays and lesbians."
"I'm glad that I have'nt been a supporter of McD's and I will continue to remain a non-supporter!"
"McDonald's supporting the gay agenda? What a disappointment for a so-called family restaurant. Not only is your fast food dangerous for our bodies, now your company shows it is dangerous for our souls. My family will not be spending any more money or time in your restaurants. I will be alerting my extended family and friends of McDonald's support of gay activities."
"No more Big Mac's for me and my family"
"McDonald's, I have been a supporter for many years. I pray you will take an active stand and change your outward support of NGLCC. I'm not a hater of any race of gender of person but you could make a stand for so many other issues in the world. Your restaurant has feed many individuals as well as families please do not change this and make McDonald's #100 instead of #1. Please reconsider your actions. Your organization is in my prayers but I must refrain from eating at your restaurant."
"It is a sad day when a big corporation such as yours sponsers something so against the family. I will not go to a McDonald's again, or my family. SAD, when McDonald's House and the good you do."
"I don't plan to patronize McDonald's, which I have thought an integral part of American fabric."
"So long McDonald's. My money is now going to Whataburger or Jack in the Box instead!!!!"
"After your decision to support an extremist homosexual agenda, I have decided that I will not be visiting McDonald's restaurants anymore. I'd rather spend my money at a location that is truly family-friendly."
"McDonalds was founded on family values, which led to its success. By entering the political arena will cause its demise. I never really cared for mcdonalds anyway. Ray would be ashamed!"
"We will not be supporting McDonald's with our patronage due to Mr. Whitman's spreading the hatred of moral values and the undermining of the American family and culture."
"Because McDonalds is a large corporation with stores and influence world wide, perhaps it thinks Christians will not be a threat. But when you consider that Rome once dominated the world and was destroyed by its own corruption, McDonalds can surely suffer the same fate. Arrogance and pride says such foolish things like, "Even God couldn't sink this ship." Well, perhaps this is the beginning of the end for McDonalds."
"Yes, stick to the fast food business and stop trying to force your personal agenda. I won't be eating McDonald's anymore. More Starbucks!"
"Dear McDonalds, I have been a patron of yours for years. However, your support of the homosexual agenda has forced me to patronize other fast-food establishments. I will be shopping at Wendy's, Spangle's, Subway, etc. Just in the last week I have spent over $40.00 for lunch for myself and my employees -- we are learning that these other choices are excellent. We will not be patronizing McDonald's until they stop supporting the homosexual agenda. You may call our actions "hate", we call them "choice"."
"If it wasn't for AFA I and my family would still be in the dark about McDonald's supporting the Gay Pride parade. I will definitely be supporting Chick fil-a more."
"i was just starting to enjoy the many "healthier" options mcdonalds has to offer, but i will not be going there again if they continue to support the same- sex marriage agenda."
"Shame on you"
"Because of your choice to support the gay agenda, instead of the family created and ordained by God,we will no longer frequent your establishment."
"This is unacceptable. I usually avoid getting on various protesting bandwagons, but this is nonsense. You can believe what you want, but when you begin openly and actively supporting activities and ideas and practices that are firmly against Biblical values, I have to draw the line. If you decided to actively and openly support abortions, I’d feel the same way. Actively support incest or polygamy or any multitude of other practices – same thing. The line has been drawn – my money will no longer be spent at McDonald’s."
"i'm very sorry to hear about mcdonald's comments. we eat often at mcdonald's and will miss it. but some things are more important than where we're going to eat!"
"No McDonalds at our house. Wendy's and Burger King will serve us fine. Thanks, but no thanks."
"My family has stopped eating at McDonalds until they stop pushing their agenda."
"I am extremely disappointed in the ant-family stand that McDonald's is taking in regards to the homosexual agenda. I will no longer choose McDonald's. McDonald's is not a family restaurant!!"
"I hope this is not true. Until I hear it's a mistake, I won't be supporting McDonald's anymore. Too many other places to eat. I don't like what I've read. Too bad McDonald's couldn't stay neutral."
"I will not be spending my $ at McDonald's until you stop this aggressive support of the gay and lesbian agenda. I am also disappointed that you chose to hang posters in support of the Mexican soccer for the Olympics in your USA stores. I will be driving a mile more to Sonic for my fast food service. I am sick and tired of American Corporations that belittle and devalue American values. I will not support anything or anyone that engages in any anti-American or anti-family practices."
"Please remain neutral in the area of sexual preference. It is morality issue that deeply affects families and should not be advertised or debated in the commercial world. We will not be eating at or supporting McDonalds until they show respect for both views on this subject by remaining neutral. J.Graham"
"U got my attention. I will not be going to or supporting Mcdonalds again . Too many other choices out there than to go to a place that actively supports the gay and lesbian movement."
"I'm very disappointed in the McDonald's corporation. I eat at the Inman chain McDonalds at least 2-3 time per week. Due to your recent decision in supporting the NGLCC, I will no longer be eating at McDonalds. We will pray for your reconsideration in this matter."
"you have lost another customer. Why can't you just sell hambergers and leave the other now related issues alone?"
"I don't understand why a restaurant wants to be political on a moral agenda which has nothing to do with anything. Your support is lacking in understanding regarding the opposition. To call it hate shows lack of understanding and is just plain hateful itself. You should stick to hamburgers and stay out of the political and moral issues of the country!! I won't eat at McDonalds anymore."
"I deliberately avoid eating at McDonalds, and will continue to do so until they stop supporting the gay/lesbian agenda. I have a coupon for a $1 iced coffee. Sorry, won't be used. In the trash it goes. The mere thought of a portion of my money, no matter how small, goes towards this immoral group makes me lose my appetite. Frankly, I am appalled they are continuing to ignore the truth of their disgusting actions... This is a place for families and their children! McDonalds, if you dare say I am motivated by hate, think again. I am motivated by God's law. You will not get a cent from me until you stop this nonsense and remain neutral! This new information is appalling! I love the fries, but I will live without! You do a lot of good things, McDonalds, this is a real shame you are tarnishing yourself! I look forward to the day I can buy a combo again, large fries!!"
"Members of this church will support the boycott until a change in policy is made!"
"Well America is really going down the tube with one of Americ'a top fast food(especially for children) is now sponsoring a group that will surely be the downfall of Americna Families. Don't you car? Open your eyes and see what is happening to the families of America. How can you support such a thing, can't you find something worthwhie to sponsor?"
"I am sure gonna miss your double cheeseburgers. Do you have any idea how many customers you will lose by going forward with this? If it doesn't bother you that it is morally wrong (which it is) you should think about how it will affect your bottom line in this economy!"
"Since McDonalds does not support or endorse heterosexuals, then I guess I can't eat there anymore. I refuse to support a company that does not appreciate and respect ALL of their customers equally."
"I am joining the boycott, not out of hate, but out of love for those who are victims of this. Those poor people have lost sight of their human dignity,and are being fed a lie.They are good people, believing a falsehood. This lifestyle only increases the chance they will die of a terrible disease. I've watched somone die this way and it is not pretty. Advancing this lifestyle should be a hatecrime!"
"I remember as a child going to the local McDonalds and what a fun time we had. I took my children there as well. I will not take my grandchildren. My daughters absolutely refuse to go there anymore. You have lost three generations of one family because of your stand on homosexuality. Goodbye!"
"Sorry Ronald... No more of our family funds going to your resturant. Just like I did not purchase a Ford this last time. When will American Corporations realize they do not need to get involved in politics or attempting to solve or set course for our nations policies. You make hamburgers... stick to what you do best please. Let the Political Action Commities fight it out please."
"I'll never enter another MacDonald's restaurant"
"I will not financially support any institution that involves itself with homosexual activites. My family will move ALL of it's business to another restaurant. You are committing financial suicide!"
"It used to be a treat to take my 91-year old mother to McDonald's on our day out, but I can no longer do that and support your tactics. Taco Bell, here we come!"
"I worked as an employee of my local McDonalds to put myself through NUrsing School. At that time it was a great place to work. However after hearing about their support of something that goes so totally against my values and upbringing, I will no longer frequent their establishment and will encourage my friends and family to avoid them as well."
"we will never buy from mcdonalds again.As a popular eating place for families you should have known better than to support gay rights.dont we have enough problems in this world with out this. the lovell family"
"Sad that you feel you can't just serve food, you must also serve us your opinions. My children will now be playing at Burger King!"
"While growing up as a kid, my parents would take us to Mc Donalds. This was a special treat for me and my younger siblings. Now that I have two of my own, my husband and I used to take our kids as a treat. Because of McDonalds choices in discouraging family values, we choose to no longer stand on the sidelines but to defend our rights and the rights of our kids as a family. NO MORE MCDONALDS for US!!"
"We want everyone to be treated equally and fairly when they walk into your restaurant and when they are working at your restaurant. But for McDonald's to actively support and endorse homosexuality as a viable, healthy lifestyle that deserves acceptance by society-at-large is ridiculous and dangerous. It is irresponsible. Homosexual behavior is an unhealthy lifestyle choice that has nothing to do with an immutable characteristic such as gender or race. It is ignorant to argue that sleeping with someone is the same as being born a woman or black. I do not want this ignorance imposed on those who are making minimum wage at your restaurants (usually with no offers of health insurance) and so we will not be eating at your restaurant."
"I have eaten at McDonalds all my life, but never again as long as McDonalds supports the gay and lesbian agenda."
"McDonald's has lost touch with what made them great. The cost is loss of credibility and my business. Ultimately, McDonald's will fail because of this thoughtless compromise."
"In light of recent corporate decisions to actively promote and encourage the gay lifestyle agenda I have no other alternative to but to discontinue my patronage of your restaurants. My decision is not based on any personal feelings against homosexuals. I fully agree that they be aforded the same rights as anyone else and should be treated fairly and respectfully in the workplace and society. I have had many homosexual coworkers and have always treated them with honor and respect regardless of my personal views. In fact I have been more understanding to them than individuals who claim to be more tolerant. However I do not condone my hard earned dollars to be used to promote and further the cause of a radical pro-homosexual agenda while actively rejecting values that sustain traditional families. I fully support your right to use your corporate resources in any manor you see fit but understand that all decisions have consequences."
"My husband and I always enjoyed McDonalds salads and bought them frequently. No more, we have found other places that serve good salads...we do not need McDonalds and will no longer patronize them. We are also spreading the word to our families and friends."
"I will NOT go to McDonald's anymore!! Everybody go to Burger King!! It's better!"
"We went on an extended vacation this summer. In past years, we always chose McDonald's over other fast-food restaurants. This year, we chose the other fast-food restaurants over McDonald's. If dollar-wise, McDonald's lost money. We will continue to boycott McDonald's as long as they choose not to remain neutral in the cultural debate."
"McDonald's management: I don't care if homosexuals work there, eat there, but I do object to your company supporting them outside the workplace. I have many coupons and 2 for 1's that I will not use. Please be aware that I am not a right wing evangelical, but an ordinary American who does not support your actions, thus will boycott your business. I will be passing this on to many family and friends who feel the same way!"
"I am amazed a company as large as McDonalds could ignore so many customers. Too bad they can't stay neutral. I will miss you Big Mac!"
"McDonalds, I will not be eating at your restaurant any longer. Who do you think made you rich. FAMILIES! That's who. Families of America. It wasn't a hard choice to make at all. And it won't be a hard choice for me to make either."
"I have noticed most of your ex-customers say when you reverse your stance on this very wrong Issue they will return, as for me and my family we will not give you the opportunity to change your thinking based on your loss of dollars and cents you have spoken your true thoughts and we know how you feel about this very wrong subject. If people join and support this boycot it will not be long before we see McDonalds equipment sales going on all over this great country, stand up people lets take our country back."
"My family eats at McDonalds every week, sometimes more than once, especially because we have a 4 year old son who loves going to McDonalds. However, I will not give you another penney now that I know where you stand with homosexuals. I worked for McDonalds a few years ago and was eventually promoted to crew chief, I loved my job but now I don't look back on it as fondly and will think twice before urging someone to considered working for a company who has such low standards."
"Since when do you have to support immorality to make money! And if not for money, why do you support immorality period?"
"Since McDonalds has chosen to openly support the Gay and Lesbian lifestyle and agenda, I have chosen to never spend another dime eating in your restaurant. I have five children, so you have just lost another seven potentially lifelong customers by your endorsment of the gay agenda which I do not want my children to be exposed too."
"I am disappointed that McDonald"s would support the homosexual agenda. McDonald's has long been a family friendly place to take children to eat and play. I will boycott all McDonald restaurants and I will tell all of my friends and family they should do the same.It is time that we take a stand against organizations who choose to destroy the traditional family. McDonald's ought to focus on making the best product at the lowest price and cease from supporting the homosexual lifestyle."
"I nor anyone in my family will be purchasing any food at McDonald's due to their stand to support the activist gay agenda. Treating people fairly should be the main goal: hiring or serving; reqardless of their religion, gender, or race. However, financially supporting activities that corrupt the family values of the U.S. is not something I will support and will actively boycott. I will support other local corpoations (Chick fil-A and others)."
"I am disappointed at the decision you have made to become part of a radical agenda, the purpose of which appears to be to force acceptance of a lifestyle choice which many of your customers believe to be not only wrong but destructive. In making this decision you have chosen to disregard my values in favor of a group who blatantly disregards my morals. If at some time in the future I become aware of a position change by your business, I will consider again patronizing McDonald's."
"I wanted to leave a comment and got caught up in reading all of the other comments. Are you getting it yet McDonalds? Are you feeling the pinch yet? I honestly hope you open your eyes to the seriousness of your decision to support the homosexual lifestyle. It's not about hate, it's about standing up for what is right and wrong. We don't hate the people, we hate the sin. I pray that your eyes are opened."
"You obviously don't need the business of those who oppose the Gay Agenda, so we will take our business elsewhere."
"I will be telling everyone I know where you spend your money to promote this type of thing.We need to love these people but not support the life style. there is many other places that you could spend your money that would be very rewarding."
"I have missed eating at Mickey D's, and my 6 year old doesnt understand. Frankly I dont understand either, this has been part of my life as long as I can remember (40 years). I cant believe an organization that has been so big a part of the family unit is not only supporting the homosexual lifestyle, but they are helping them promote it. I have noticed that the lines arent as long as they used to be, haha. Remember that McDonalds is NOT the only company under this corporate umbrella. IF you want to do this right, do your research and ban the whole organization, and anyone affiliated with them."
"We should not hate homosexuals... At the same time, we should not support companies that promote this lifestyle. Regardless of what the world thinks, God's standards will never change. He is clearly against this type of lifestyle as it says in His Word. Those who don't agree will tragically find out the truth at judgement when it's too late. My family, therefore, can no longer support McDonald's because they have now become supporters and promoters of living in a way that God does not tolerate. Thanks for reading..."
"This is absolutely appalling that you would support such immoral and discusting behaviour while enticing children with happy meal toys to your establishments...I wonder how many parents realize they are also contributing through buying those happy meals for their children....not me!"
"never will you get another dollar of mine or my family"
"I pray that you will stop supporting something that is completely unnatural and does not stand to save the reason for marriage between one man and one woman, reproduction as my God intended it to be. Please stop supporting this. Please be nuetral. You don't have to agree with me, just stop agreeing with them."
"I am so very diappointed that you have decided not to remain neutral in the culture war. I have instructed my investment broker to sell McDonalds stock and I will not invest untill/unless you are neutral. I am not buying at McDonalds nor taking friends for meals. I have advised my family/friends and associates to do the same."
"My two children have eaten at McDonald's for the last time. Family values are important."
"thats it! my kids usually eat at mc d's 3x weekly, no more for us."
"Dear McDonald's, As a family of 6, we love to eat at McD's, good fast food at a reasonable price. But we have not eaten a meal or snack there in more than 6 months. Businesses should not promote agendas of any kind, if individuals choose to give words or finances to support any type of lifestyle agendas that is their right, but businesses should stay out of it. Support cancer research, birth defect research, support for military families etc. Save the agendas for the individuals!"
"I'm proud to be McDonalds free for more than 6 months. I don't plan on EVER eating at McDonalds again."
"I live in Hemet, California and I have two beautiful little girls, they enjoy your food and playground. And because of your support to the agenda of Gay and Lesbian, we have made the decision not to take our girls to your restaurants, I also like your ice-coffee and have decided to come to your restaurant and I am telling my friends to stop taking their kids. We are speaking for the future values of our kids. Thank you to God we have other restaurants such Burgue King or Carl's Junior, where we take our kids now."
"My husband & I are so very disappointed in you for bowing to the pressure to align yourselves with this controversial agenda. We will refuse to support this cause by patronizing you store."
"I am truly happy that I no longer work for McDonlads. I did for 8 years, 2 of that as a manager. It saddens me that the corporation has chosen not to be neutral on this issue. I will be telling all of my friends, family and former workers about it. Please recant your support."
"We ate ate McDonalds and then took our children now we are taking our grandchildren. As of today, we will not be going to McDonald's again. McDonald's is not a political organization and should remain neutral in controversal topics. You don't need to be on either side--just make good fast food."
"What are you thinking!!!"
"there's more of us than you, unite and eat a taco."
"I am shocked to learn that McDonalds, the most popular restaurant for families with young children has taken such a controversial stand. I for one do NOT want my young children a part of this. My family typically eats at McDonalds at least twice a week, we will now go elsewhere."
"as long as you continue supporting immorality i will not eat at any of your restaurants and we have 2 where i live. my support and money will go towards the companies that remain neutral in this decision."
"Because of your continued support of Homosexuality, myself and my family will no longer "do business" with your chain, but rather spend that time in fasting and prayer for McDonalds."
"We have enough trouble in this country without McDonald's now becoming a lobbying agent for homosexuals. I will not support you."
"I'm so sad that I have to explain to my too young children that we will not be able to go to McDonald's anymore. Seeing the images of the children at the parade you support was sick and discusting! It's one thing for a leader of a company to believe in something, but to take the whole company down with you is very sad. God be with you!"
"I believe God made a man and women marriage only."
"My family of five have not gone to McDonald's on four separate occations in the last two weeks. Once for breakfast, once for ice cream cones and twice while traveling. Instead we went to a local restaurant for breakfast, it cost a little more but was worth it. We got our soft serve at Dairy Queen and lunches at Subway. It's getting easly to live without Mickey D's!"
"This is terrible! Maybe Chick fil-A is a better FAMILY restaurent deserving of my money!"
"I have been enjoying since I was a kid and love my mum to bring me there for the food and playground. But I am very disappointed in Mcdonald making such a stand in sponsoring homosexuality which jeopardise its core value of being family friendly. I am not against Equal Employment Opportunities for homosexual person but McDonald is making a big mistake of choosing not to make a neutral stand on this very controversial issue. Sadly, but I have to stop dining at McDonald until you have change your stand."
"I will not take my grandchildren to your establishment anymore until you change your views on homosexuality and STOP sponsoring their parades..."
"It does not make any sense for a restaurant to take on a 'cause' for sinful behavior. You should have remained neutral in this matter. One day you will be judged by your actions and have to answer for this. We will pray for your change of heart. God bless,"
"We will not do any business with McDonalds until the boycott is ended."
"We will not do any business with McDonalds until the boycott is ended."
"I am a father of 4 children and I will boycott Mcdonald's. I will send this email to everyone that I know in several organizations that I am involved with. Since Mcdonals's has chosen to be part of the problem instead of the solution, I will make sure not I do not spend one penny at their stores. It is disgusting that an organization that prides itself on being family friendly would choose to involve themselves in support of the gay agenda."
"Since McDonald's chooses to take a stand on a practice in which only 3% of the country views as 'right' I will choose to take my business elsewhere....mother of 5 in Mississippi."
"Yes, I have 17 grand children and No, I do not take them to McDonald's. I do NOT approve of McDonald's support/encouragement of the sin of homosexuality."
"I am very sorry to learn of McDonal's stance on Homosexual Issues. I will not be stopping at any McDonald's from now on. I do NOT hate homosexuals, in fact, I love them as Christ asks me to love my fellow man, but simply cannot support their agenda. Perhaps you've heard of "love the sinner but not the sin". I am glad I do not have little ones clammoring for "happy meals" for I would have to deny them."
"I'm concerned for our culture & the next generation we have a chance to be an example to. As leaders we have a chance to make a differance for the good. I have always felt McDonalds was a positive influence, I'm sorry to hear about this unfortunate news that you are behind the gay agenda. My sincere hope is that you will consider your ways and see how you can once again be a positive influence"
"not another penny for as long as this family walks this earth SHAME ON YOU!"
"Oh, and I so enjoyED your coffee. But, folks, as a former employee of McD's and as a customer for almost 50 years, it's goodbye. You have made your choice at the expense of being fair to the other side. We are having homosexuality "crammed" down our throats and you have allowed yourselves to be manipulated into this. You make and serve food. Why did you even get involved in this "choice" to support homosexuality. Those who oppose it do not do it for a "hate crime" (their favorite phase), but because you are supporting a cause that you have allowed to be pushed on you. You're a food corporation that has allowed yourselves to be targeted by a political machine that is pushing their agenda on every aspect and citizen of the country. I choose to refuse to be "pushed" into something that you have allowed yourselves to be pushed into. So long, Micky D's.........."
"Your fries are the best and I will remember them with mouth-watering fondness. I look forward with great anticipation to the day I can enjoy them again - the day McD's moves back to a nuetral or better yet, a pro-family position. McD's has perfectly illustrated the far left's hypocrital nature. If choosing to take a stand for what one believes, such as those of us who follow Jesus and biblical principles on marriage, is hatred then McD's has chosen to become "haters" of family values by chosing to take a stand with those who oppose them. I pray God softens your hearts and opens your eyes to what His will is for McD's."
"How dissapointing! My children love McDonald's but we will no longer give you our business. We normally eat from there 3x a week. Remaining neutral is one thing, but openly supporting homosexuality is another. The MAJORITY of your business comes from heteroseuals and families. If you alienate us, you will certainly lose profits. Serves you right!!! I will tell everyone I know of the shame mcDonalds has brought upon themselves."
"In-n-Out only from now - they dont have the playgrounds but we'll get it to go and drive to a playground. Plus IN-N-OUT is the best tasting, highest quality burger around."
"I think we should never support a sex preference That God doesn't intend on you doing, what's next a child predator, I mean after all isn't that there sex preferences. Does it make it right? Neither does this!!!! Please don't get involve McD's the majority doesn't want this!"
"My two kids and I (sometimes the hubby) frequent McDonald's more than I'd like to admit - but this is it for me. We have a cause other than "we need to eat healthier" - we're willing to take a stand on the homosexual agenda you seem fierce to defend. Shame on you McDonald's!"
"I want to thank you McD's- I now have a reason to go to Wendys and eat-- then go to your airconditioned play area to play with my kids--- you don't make any $$$!! RECONSIDER--- we go once a week--- and while there I tell all the moms about your NON FAMILY adgenda!! Support family values since your revenue comes from families!"
"I have been a customer for 50 years, but I cannot patronize your establishment any longer since your have chosen to promote a biblically incorrect and shameful lifestyle."
"What people do behind closed doors is their business, but I do not condone "gay pride" parades, homosexual unions. The ACLU and the likes of your corporation are changing what America was founded on - Christian values! You are no longer America's favorite eating establishment and I will boycott you"
"I am very disappointed that your company chooses to support gay and lesbian. you should remain nuetral. we wont be eating there any more."
"I have already stopped eating at your restuarants. Normally I will frequent them about 10-12 times per month. I have told my friends and family to do the same! So long, Big Mac! And shame on you, McDonalds Corp!"
"You have made your fortune off of families with children like mine. Now you are supporting the gay people and their x rated parades?????? Won't be giving you our business till you return to conservative values or at least some neutrality in your corporate sponsorships. Have you actually seen a gay rights parade? Look it up. Mother of 6 says good bye to you, there are many other fast foods to go to!"
"Shame on you. We are not being hateful"
"Not only did I sign this boycott petition, I will also encourage others to do so until McDonalds changes their position."
"My family of 7 will no longer be going to McDonalds.We refuse to give money to a corporation that supports the gay agenda.Your businesses will suffer, just wait and see."
"Our Sunday morning would always begin with a run through the drive thru on our way to church. Aug. 17th was our last visit."
"McDonald's has been my first choice for fast food since I was a child (I am almost 50). I choose not to patronize McDonald's as long as McDonald's chooses not to stay neutral on the gay agenda. I believe that the gay lifestyle is an abomination to God and it would be wrong for me to help support that agenda by spending my money at an establishment that supports what I believe to be wrong. If you reconsider, I will bring my business back."
"ray kroc is rolling over in his grave. this is a travisty that you support this cause but not the christian movement. what has happend to selling hamburgers and fries? it is not your job to promote certain life styles. only to sell food. go back to what the company was founded on hamburgers and fries."
"It is very disturbing that McDonald's has chosen to side with the gay agenda. This "family" restaurant has ironically taken a side that is attacking the American family at it's core. It is NOT a matter of hating gays, it is a matter of principle that homosexuality is wrong and should not be supported. McDonald's has made a stand to discriminate against heterosexual families. Because of that, I will boycott McDonald's and will not allow my children to go there with any family or friends."
"How sad that a "family restaurant" has to turn on itself. You do realize gay couples cannot have children?? Who are you going to sell your "happy meals" to? Whether you choose to recognize God or not, He will take this matter up with you."
"I am saddened that you would so aggessively promote the gay agenda. Staying neutral and paying attention to what you have done so well for so long would get my vote. Your stand is against God's Word and I can no longer support your organization. Please reconsider!"
"You have disgraced the very foundation that McDonalds was built for; the family. Your obviouse political motives behind these actions of yours will haunt you until you change your stand on this. Your gut will let you know this. No, we are not motivated by hate. God did not call us to hate but out of love for man. Homosexuality is not that kind of love. That kind is perverse and unnatural and you know it. I used to take my family to your store because it was a family friendly atmosphere. It is no longer. I will never see the inside of your store again until that changes. I am sorry for you. You have know idea what this will do to you."
"This is really upsetting to here that McDonald's would do something as sickening like this. Did you even stop to think about our children and screwed up this world is all ready? I will boycott until there is a change. Shame on the person whe decided to do this. Your money comes mainly from the parents who purchase for their children. I am a mother of four, and McDonalds is one of my kids favorite. We will find another favorite place for them"
"We are shocked and disappointed to learn of your support of the activist gay agenda. I will no longer in good conscious be able to dine with you again until you change your policy. What in the world are you thinking? We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful country and your support of such radical ideas with help take us to ruin."
"There is nothing hateful about recognizing the need for every child to have a mother and a father to help them to reach their full potential in life. That cannot exist in a homosexual marriage. That is a loving response and we can only benefit our society when we do everything we can to support the traditional family. It doesn't mean that we don't love those people involved in homosexuality but rather that McDonald's should be supporting what is best for our society as a whole. I will have to rethink my future patronizing of McDonald's based on their strong stand against the family!!"
"My fondest memories are going to McDonald's with my grandmother when there were fewer than 100,000 served. Now they have cast off mainstream America by supporting immorality AND have the gall to accuse us of hatred. I have a good friend, a niece and a sister-in-law who are lesbians; I certainly don't hate them. But me, my kids and my grandkids won't be eating at any McDonald's ever until they change their position promoting that lifestyle!"
"Why has McDonald's chosen to support an agenda that is anti-family in it's nature? My family will no longer be eating at McDonald's until this cultural attack on my family ends and there is an apology for accusing me of hatred for thinking differently then McDonald's chooses."
"stay neutral, as most of the companies."
"when you wake up and do whats right i will be back"
"Me and mine, will no longer frequent McDonalds. I refuse to donate to a cause I find repulsive. Businesses are to provide goods and services, not make political statements or further a political and immoral agenda."
"Dear McDonalds, I love McDonalds and so does my family of 6. I considered it a family friendly place. I was extremely offended when I saw the Gay Pride Parade and that McD's supported it. What does being a homosexual have to do with a trashy parade of men walking naked or 1/2 naked women with tassels on, dancing on poles in a parade float. I am not a homosexual nor do I hate people that are. However, the fact that McDonalds could support such a trashy, distasteful thing, like that parade or anything that linked to it tells me you are not for the family or have children's best interest in mind. I am sick. McDonalds is the closest fast food place to us, it is also in our local Walmart. However, I will now go out of my way 15 min. to eat at Wendys. I will now get my soda and snack at Walmart and eat in the car, before I sit down, like normal, with my family and eat at the McDonalds inside our Walmart. McDonalds should have stayed neutral."
"It is a shame that a place that always has been considered a family place has chosen to support homosexuality.We have not eaten at McDonald's since we first heard about this. We do not hate gays, we just do not agree with their lifestyle. We will support Chik-Fil-A.Read Romans Chapter 1."
"I do not agree with what you believe, The Bible says, marriage is between a man and a woman. You will not be seeing my family at the golden arches."
"Ithink it is a shame that McDonald's has taken this stand. As long as they support this my family and I will not step foot in the doors."
"I am shocked that a corporation would try so hard to drive sales by supporting immoral behavior. I am not saying that people don’t have the choice to do what they want, what I am saying is that a restaurant corporation should focus on food not on immoral life styles. I will no longer endorse a company that makes such choices and I will encourage everyone I know to do the research and make the choice to go elsewhere."
"McDonald's choices are not supporting a healthy society. I will not buy your products"
"Is is sad to hear of your poor choices and my family and I have choosen to do what is right and to place our money in another restaurant that will NOT support this kind of behavior. Goodbye McDonald's...you should have stayed neutral!!!"
""As long as McDonalds is going to take this stand on homosexuality, I will no longer be a customer. I will also encourage all my family, friends, and co-workers to do the same.""
"We have always thought of McDonald's as a family supporting organization. It is unfortunate that you have choose to support events like the San Francisco Gay Pride parade with a television commercial that openly attacks traditional marriage. If children are important to McDonald's, McDoanld's should be supporting the one fundamental union that gives birth and nuturing to children, the union of Man and Woman only."
"I am 52 years old and rember my first big mac, In my opinion McDee's food has fallen off over the years,but has always been considered a family place, I see that has now changed also, no more breakfast stops for me."
"It is one thing to choose for yourself to be homosexual but it is an infringment on my freedoms. To shove someones elses sexual preference in my face, as well as my children, or be hostile and intolerant to me because I am not a homosexual,it's violated my rights. Also promoting hatred for heterosexuals and the family is what has made our country suffer greatly. Freedom of speech was never intended for others to abuse people of different beliefs. If you studied the Constitution in its original form, it would state that freedom of speech stops when it is used for personal gain and to hurt or take the rights of others away."
"I'm saddened by McDonalds' choice to become a proactive voice for the homosexual movement. I will not purchase food at McDonalds unless they forsake such endorsements."
""How can you have something good like the ronald mcdonald house for kids and then give in to something that is going to destroy marriage and the family unit as it was meant to be? Shame on you. Burger king here i come!"
"I have eaten at McDonald's twice this past week but but I will not and my family will not eat there any more until McDonald's makes an open apology to the American public for sponsoring such an immoral and obscene event and cause."
"being tolerant of, not discriminating against and supporting gay rights are different things. Like Jesus I can eat with those that are different and love them without supporting their beliefs if they are different from mine. Gays and Lesbians are not entitled to any rights that I am not entitled to as a heterosexual. If I were a vegetarian would I be entitled to rights that meat eaters aren't? I think that we are all created equal so if you are going to support the gay and lesbian agenda then you also have to support those that are against SSM, those that are pro-life, those that are pro-choice, and so on. While gays and lesbians should not be discriminated against or hated simply because of sexual orientation they should not have special rights simply because their beliefs are different. No more big macs or fries for me."
"We are a family of 7 so it seems someone is always at McDonald's everyday...even if only to buy a drink. I will say that I am very disappointed that McDonald's would not choose to stay nuetral on this issue. We cannot frequent an establishment that so blatantly refuses to stay out of what doesn't concern them."
"And to think that I took my kids over there...No more frequenting mcdonalds"
"Of course, I have been a customer of McDonalds since I was little. My big brother's first job was at the original kind white/with a single arch! Yeah, that is 40 yrs ago. When I received the email, I knew I was instantly done with them. We as a family ate McDonalds at least twice a week. We will no longer. A year and a half ago, when Burger King did the commercial of "Big Bucking Chicken", I chose to boycott over such a lewd commercial and haven't eaten there in that length of time. I can promise your support will be noticed by people who have quality morals and christian beliefs alike and you will miss their dollars for your poor choices. McDonald's Who???"
