At work the other night a friend of mine told me that McDonald's is now supporting gay rights. This was a detrimental blow to him cause dude loves McDonald's, and now he won't go there anymore cause he does not believe or support anything related to the gay community.

Myself? Well, I don't care for homosexuality at all, but I do believe in free will, and a person has a right to choose who they want to be with. Still, if I want a Quarter Pounder or a Big Mac, then damn it I will get one. I just don't get boycott's at all. What's the point? Anyways, discuss.

I don't see anything wrong with supporting gay rights.

Was this verifiable? Sometimes people make crap up. Or, if they do support gay rights, I doubt they'd be blatant. Do they also support heterosexual rights? Then what is the issue really? Like you say, it's a free country. Let the chips fall where they may. But, they also better support hetero rights, dag nab it!!

It doesn't bother me as long as they do not come on to me.

Neither do I. Like I said, I think it is silly that he won't eat at McDonald's cause they are. But hey, I will give him this much, he is strong with his conviction. I need a Big Mac now.

Who cares....a Big Mac Attack is a Big Mac Attack...gay or straight!

Not sure, but I would not think he would lie about something like this, and also considering the guy watches all the news channels more than anyone else I know of.

aside from being a show of support (whatever the cause),
boycotts usually serve to get people/business where it hurts enough to take notice...the profit margin.

i have been boycotting target for 2 yrs, and albertson's for the
last year&1/2.
it's just me, as far as i know...but i feel right knowing that these businesses aren't getting anything from me.

i haven't been to mcdonald's in 8 years, so that will not change.

I actually heard the same thing. I am not going to boycott them but at the same time I am Christain and do not believe in that act. But I have friends that are gay and I love them for them not what they do. I have no place to judge them...

i work at mcdonalds and i havent heard anything about that.... maybe its just a few where ever u are.

I am just happy if the place is clean.

I love gay guys...used to roommate with one! They're awesome! And they have great taste!

the targets out here(oregon) decided they wouldn't let the salvation army bell-ring and collect outside of their stores
because they were a Christian organization.

Same here in NC

My sediments exactly.

I thought gay meant you were happy.

Do you think the large corporations really notice if one or two people haven't entered the store or restaurant .....

nope, they really dont.they make madd amounts of money anyways.. on a slow day a mcdonalds can gross over 3,000 dollars between rushes.

Your friend needs to get a life!!!
