With all of the injustice, strife, pain and misery in the world, I find it puzzling that "christians" pay so much attention to arbitrary human behavior such as sexual preference. Why are they so concerned with what appendage goes where?The gay people I know are some of the most intelligent, well adjusted genuine people I've ever met. They actually love life. A far cry from the bible thumping rednecks who look like they're gonna blow a gasket if you question their programming
While I support gay rights, I'd never set foot into a McD's or Disney park. They represent the nadir of the lowest common denominator pop culture detritis. Dead goat porn has more cultural or artistic merit than those institutions. I am happy, however, to avoid support of Cracker Barrel, Chick-Fill-A, and Hobby Lobby and their low-key peddling of christian smut.
@bdpickett You may be correct; I haven't seen them. The only substative difference may lie in which organ you wish to destroy: pancreas (McDs) or brain (Wayne bros.). Speaking politically, to their credit (as far as I know), the Wayne bros. don't donate large amounts of money to organizations that attempt to deny people basic civil rights, as do Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.
I boycotted McDonalds a long time ago for a simple reason, they support the illegal state of Israel and fund war. No I'm not a Christian, I'm simply a pacifist.
@TheAnonymousAspie I have no problem living with anyone *except* those who would deny me the exercise of fundamental rights that all other citizens enjoy. If that bothers you, tough shit.
Sorry I can't buy McDonald's I'm vegetarian. If there is anything vegetarian at McDonald's I MIGHT buy something from them. Most likely there are some salads that are vegetarian.
Unfortunately it seems like the boycott worked, as McDonald's has pulled out of the organization and has continued to distance themselves from the LGBT community.
Honestly due to a lot of their seedy behaviors I've unofficially boycott McDonald's for years now, so continuing not to patronize them will be easy. But perhaps we could all drop McDonald's a line and tell them why we're not going back.
To all you salami smugglers and clam eaters of the same sex.When I go to mcdonalds for lunch is to eat;not to support you fags and dykes.Coral ridge has every right to boycott whomever they please.You are so fucked up in the head you actually think it's o.k. to be gay.
Your lofty rhetoric and sagacious analysis are just too fancy for this forum. No doubt there is a university out there with a named professorship just waiting for you.
Just one time I wish AFA would have the courtesy to boycott some places that serve healthy food. Why? Because when I hear the bigots at AFA are boycotting some business, my first instinct is go support that business. Do you know how many calories are in a Big-Mac & fries?!
One funny thing about boycotts: You get to pick the best time to start one, usually there's no clearly defined absolute objective & you can end it and declare victory when it's politically advantageous to do so.
ProfMTH: I'm caught in a double-bind here as regards your call for supporting McDonalds. McDonald's doesn't exactly have a good reputation on a lot of other social and environmental matters. So I'll order only the Cheesy French Fries whenever I pop in to a Mc's outlet, if that's alright with you.
As I said in the video, even an e-mail encouraging them not to be intimidated by anti-gay bigots would be fine. I'm not one to frequent McDonald's either.
fuck the afa they are fuckin retarded they are just a bunch of old 40 -60 year old fucks who are anti-gay.I also read that they have sued a bunch of companies because they sometimes include gay people in their ads or gay references they have even taken it as far as taking out ads in newspapapers saying that being gay is a sin they also tried to ban the movie cartoon shark tale because "it encourages children to be gay" i can almost assure you everyone in the afa are republican
While I agree with your overall sentiment, Fresapaletosa, I haven't a clue what the ages of the members of the AFA have to do with anything. I'm over 40. I'm neither "fuckin retarded," anti-gay, or -- I hasten to note -- old. :-)
I began taking my wife and kids to Mickey D's a lot more often after this "Christian" boycott was announced. Also, when the AFA & similar hate groups announced a boycott of Pepsi for granting domestic partner benefits to its employees, guess who switched from Coke to Pepsi?
Do I have a particular fondness for gays or gay rights? Not really- but I've hated bullies ever since I was a kid, and anyone who stands up to these religious thugs gets a vote of confidence from me.
"What do you mean when you say you don't have a "particular fondness for gays or gay rights"?"
Essentially, I bear no animosity toward gays of course, and generally try to maintain a live & let live attitude. I sure as hell don't see their lifestyle as a threat to me(like the religious righties claim)- but in all honesty, I have no strong feeling one way or the other about gays as a group. Among those I've met: some are outstanding people,some are not. Pretty much like any other group.
profmth always sounds so cheerful. he's like a 'morning person' you don't want to strangle. or the friend that buys a case of beer and only drinks 1. if everyone could express passionate views w/ such candor, compassion and friendly accessability....well i don't know what would happen, but it would be good.
I already in general boycott (or at least avoid shopping at as much as I can) all those businesses for less stupid reasons so this is an issue of conflict for me :p. I would love to support gay rights, but I don't want to get fat again.
Hey if they wanna hold a boycott more power to them, i for one don't approve of the homosexual lifestyle, but chicken nuggets with spicy buffalo sauce proved just too good to ignore. This video really just seems like another liberal tool crying bigotry so they don't have to talk about the issue, just like how they always cry racism when things don't go their way, have a nice day :P
Ummm, well, its not just liberals, many libertarians (which I am) support Gay rights and anti-bigotry towards gays, when the far religious right starts legislating its own narrow-minded beliefs on others that harms and infringes upon the freedoms and rights of others then you got a fucking problem with me!
Marriage is a religious issue, not an issue that the state should get involved with, and all religions pretty much say no gay marriage, therefore if you think about ur the bigot for trying to step on ppl's religious beliefs. If they wanna boycott mcdonalds because they don't agree with some of their agendas that's their right, more power to them, good for them, if you don't agree with why they're doing the boycott it's not really any of ur business.
"Marriage is a religious issue, not an issue that the state should get involved with, and all religions pretty much say no gay marriage, therefore if you think about ur the bigot for trying to step on ppl's religious beliefs."
1. The state is involved with marriage by giving legal status to one kind of marriage but not to another.
2.ProfMTH does not want to legally force churches to perform same-sex marriages.
3. The Church of Sweden accepts same-sex marriage, as does the Boston Presbytery.
funny how they never call boycotts against companies that use child labor and sweat-shops. I'm so fucking glad I left that void of ignorance and hate and became a rational atheist.
Your videos are hilarious and informing, excellent stuff!
I don't think you need to support McDonald's, I mean they are not exactly princes of ethics on other issues. Scientology has a car in NASCAR, how well you think a NASCAR boycott would work? LOL I just don't see the impact.
McDonald's Food is the only reason why I would boycott it. Homosexuals are people too, and they shouldn't be discriminated against just for their sexual preference. Its unfair, unjust, and against what Christians call "morals".
Nope, sorry, can't do it. I still fucking hate McDonald's. I don't like eating food that reminds me of my own excrement. Nothing against fast food, but there's something about pretty much everything but the chicken at McDonald's that is just disgusting. Taste, texture, everything.
anyway, I find it hard to get excited by the cause of supporting mcdonalds, but if they have wall e toys in thier happy meals next time I go past, I now have an excuse for getting one.
Also, who thinks mcnuggets were better when they were made from mechanically recoverd meat (as oppose to breast meat now)??
To boycott all the "heathens" who will "burn in hell", I will complete my bible study over Sunday breakfast at McDonald's. Later I may even have to indulge myself with a Big Mac & Happy Meal. Oh what a horrid sinner I am!
This situation reminds me of a quote from the show Firefly. In the episode "Shindig" one of the elite guests came to the defense of Kaylee who was being ridiculed by some snotty girls. After he told the girls off he said "I cannot abide useless people." I agree anyone who takes the time to find ways to hurt/hate their fellow human will get the same response from me. There are many paths of greatness and wasting time being destructive is not one of them.
LOL, I can't believe that in the US, the land of the free, there are actually whole organizations out there fighting against anything remotely gay.
I live in Europe and there are probably just as many homophobes here than there are in the US. But it would be inconceivable for an organization to start a boycott because of things like these...
I guess it really comes down to hardcore Christians who actually believe it to be a sin...they hardly exist over here...
"I can't believe that in the US, the land of the free, there are actually whole organizations out there fighting against anything remotely gay."
There are loads of them. And they rake in lots of donations from the gullible. There's still big money in anti-gay bigotry. Send out a fundraising letter that says you're fighting the "radical gay agenda" (you gotta include 'radical') and, to up the flame a bit, mention something about protecting children, and the checks come rolling in.
I thank you for pointing out yet more inanity by uppity religious crackpots trying to tell people how to live. You are truly yet one more voice of reasonable passion amongst the radical crowd!
Like McDonald's gives a shit whether or not their patrons are gay. As long as they cough up the dough. The free market triumphs! (Sorry, just had to throw the libertarian shit at you.)
Although I've got issues with Disney, I have loved them giving the symbolic middle finger to these intolerant fucks. I understand they even have a 'gay day' down at Disney World. That must drive them into a frothing frenzy. I'd take it a step further and Goofy and Mickey making out.
"Like McDonald's gives a shit whether or not their patrons are gay. As long as they cough up the dough."
Indeed. As George Jefferson used to say, "If you got enough green, they don't see the black." In the instant case, if you got enough green, they don't see the lavender.
"I'd take it a step further and Goofy and Mickey making out."
lol My partner is a huge Disney fan, so we've been there a lot. It's the gayest place in earth, even when it isn't Gay Day.
Interesting sidenote: I've discovered that the segregation laws weren't being enforced by the train and bus companies in the south, pre-civil-rights era. Apparently the states had to come in and force them to comply. The companies didn't give a shit where the passengers sat so long as they paid. Only after the states enforced the 'back of the bus' statutes was it possible for Rosa Parks to make her famous ride. Ironic, eh?
WTF?!?!?! Those guys need to get a life and stop making everybody else's miserable by shoving dogma down our throats. I for one will protest the AFA and Coral Ridge by telling them how STUPID their beliefs are.
I wonder if aside from almost killing himself, that perhaps morgan spurlock had the urge to buy a rainbow bumper sticker, the soundtrack to rent, and assless chaps after eating that much mickey D's?
As much as I enjoy your videos and respect your opinions, I think I'll pass on the buycott. I'm pretty sure that the largest fast food company in the world will do just fine when a few fundies decide to avoid the evil homosexial agenda and order a whopper instead.
I don't eat there normally but I'll go to see if I turn into a radical homosexual when I eat a hamburger and fries. I'll see if the Cretards are right!
Hell, i hate McDonalds, but i will at least buy a drink or a 99 cent cheeseburger from there just as a fuck you to the boycott. Ehh, sometimes you have to side with the devil, and there are worse devils than McDonalds.
Yeah, but if you're a good liberal, don't you feel bad about all the pollution, deforestation, obesity and wage slavery that corporations like Mickey-D's contributes to? And don't we have a duty to support big corporations as good Republican to keep Bush's machine going?
Even if you were homophobic, this seems extreme. It's one thing to be opposed to gay marriage, but to organise boycotts of companies for employing a homosexual, or because of the healthcare schemes they offer to their employees ... you'd have to be a foaming-at-the-mouth paranoid lunatic. A good example of the effects that religion can have in its extreme cases?
Hey ProfMTH, I'm a paramedic AND I support gay/lesbian rights. If we make that known, do you think they will boycott the EMS system & stop dialing 911 every time they pass out in church? I say its worth trying.
LOL. I'm gonna guess that in the case of emergency services, they're gonna make an exception. Expedience is usually one of the salient elements of this sort of nonsense.
"Expedience is usually one of the salient elements of this sort of nonsense."
Alas, I feel you are most correct there. When I tried to say 'calling 911 was interfering with god's divine plan' It didn't stop them from calling either. Amazing how easily god can take a backseat to an atheist with a defibrillator.
Yeah, they don't even do a veggie burger any longer, do they? Hmm. Well, send them an e-mail if you feel inclined. And while you're at it, tell them they should have more vegetarian options. ;-)
Hummm... I'm torn, I not against boycotting McDonalds, as I'm not a fan of their practices, but ahhh, yeah, couldn't careless that they have miniscule ties to supporting homosexuals. Their fries are still pretty good though.Of course I haven't gone to McDonalds in many, many years.
I usually cannot stand McDonald's ... however I think I shall make an exception because this is just downright ludicrous. Are we sure they're not a troll group like the landover baptist church?
Anyways, great vid Prof as always. I will try my hand in being fabulously homosexual, and order a strawberry shake. Is that sufficient?
I try not to eat at McD's too often for health reasons but occasionally when I'm in a pinch, their dollar menu includes double cheeseburgers, sundaes, and that fruit parfait thingy. I like saving money.
wow eh. this is like something you'd see on a stephen colbert satire show, but it's sad because it's real life. in the so-called "conversion therapy" programs, they force the alleged gay children to watch football. And this is real life. This is sadism.
I'm intrigued by the cinammon melt thing. I don't believe we have them here in New York. I'm going to be paying McDonald's another visit over the weekend, so I'm going to keep an eye out for the cinammon melts.
I will support McDonald's, also. How pathetically ridiculous can these people be? They will go out of their way to harass homosexuals because of a few passages in the Old Testament. However, many of their churches will marry previously divorced people even though Jesus explicitly defined such act as adultery. I wonder why these people didn't call a boycott of Ted Haggard's church when he admitted to buying meth from his male prostitute behind his wife and kids' back.
OK, boycotting a particular company that hires people with different sexual orientation has to be one of the most discriminating action to take in 21st century.
Sure, McDonald as a company has its own problems -ie. tendency to make everyone fatter- but I think its unconstitutional for people to boycott for reasons such as gay people working for that company.
I can't stand McDonalds apart from the new coffee bars which now produce some half reasonable coffee. However I will make a point of going in and at least ordering a coke or some french fries. Sorry I cannot bring myself to eat a Big Mac even for you PfofMTH
I will consume some frech fries or have a coke just to show ny support however not wishing to reduce my life expentancy any further I will give the burgers a miss.
I dont eat maccas because it is crap... I have seen a 12 yr old cheese burger and that motherfucker has not worn out or broken down... Ive seen preservatives extracted from one meal and left in a plastic container over night where the perservatives ate through the plastic... Plus there is no one animal i can point to that a mcdonolds burger actually tastes like but if this is the reason because of mcdonolds homosexual agenda... I mean really What the fuck ?
It doesn't surprise me. Left a message with Coral Ridge Ministries. I'll contact McDonald's giving them my support. After building creationists' museums, what could be surprising?
OK, I'm off to McD's for a Big Mac, a large order of fries, a chocolate shake, and an apple pie. Then I'm going home for a VERY LARGE swig of Pepto-Bismol. I hope you know what a sacrifice this is going to be.
My son works at Walt Disney World; I didn't realize they were so forward-thinking. I do believe that the young generation has a better attitude on practically everything..in my generation we were called *flower children*. We accepted people based on their character. I wonder where all those peace loving people went? Seems to me so many went to churches where they learned bigotry and intolerance and ignorance. Ugh. Me? My brain is as young as ever. The rest of me a bit shop worn..Big Macs? Mmmm
Ran out of space...Big Macs are easy to avoid. They were yummy when I was younger, but Red Lobster is more my speed when I am looking for fast food today..
"My son works at Walt Disney World; I didn't realize they were so forward-thinking."
I was kind of surprised myself, 8journey8. My partner is a huge Disney fan, so we've been to their "properties" a number of times over the years. It's gayer than a clutch purse at the Tony Awards. ;-)
Really, though, how pathetic. Where do these people get off? I just don't understand it. Well, I suddenly fancy breaky at Maccers, Prof, I might go get a Sausage McMuffin. Then I might have something to say on that video you linked. ;)
Hey prof, they could of at least boycoted a resteraunt that doesn't give me the shits. I guess I will have to grab a big mac anyway. Maybe they can boycott Olive Garden next hum hum.

This situation reminds me of a quote from the show Firefly. In the episode "Shindig" one of the elite guests came to the defense of Kaylee who was being ridiculed by some snotty girls. After he told the girls off he said "I cannot abide useless people." I agree anyone who takes the time to find ways to hurt/hate their fellow human will get the same response from me. There are many paths of greatness and wasting time being destructive is not one of them.

LOL, I can't believe that in the US, the land of the free, there are actually whole organizations out there fighting against anything remotely gay.
I live in Europe and there are probably just as many homophobes here than there are in the US. But it would be inconceivable for an organization to start a boycott because of things like these...
I guess it really comes down to hardcore Christians who actually believe it to be a sin...they hardly exist over here...

"I can't believe that in the US, the land of the free, there are actually whole organizations out there fighting against anything remotely gay."
There are loads of them. And they rake in lots of donations from the gullible. There's still big money in anti-gay bigotry. Send out a fundraising letter that says you're fighting the "radical gay agenda" (you gotta include 'radical') and, to up the flame a bit, mention something about protecting children, and the checks come rolling in.

Like McDonald's gives a shit whether or not their patrons are gay. As long as they cough up the dough. The free market triumphs! (Sorry, just had to throw the libertarian shit at you.)
Although I've got issues with Disney, I have loved them giving the symbolic middle finger to these intolerant fucks. I understand they even have a 'gay day' down at Disney World. That must drive them into a frothing frenzy. I'd take it a step further and Goofy and Mickey making out.

Interesting sidenote: I've discovered that the segregation laws weren't being enforced by the train and bus companies in the south, pre-civil-rights era. Apparently the states had to come in and force them to comply. The companies didn't give a shit where the passengers sat so long as they paid. Only after the states enforced the 'back of the bus' statutes was it possible for Rosa Parks to make her famous ride. Ironic, eh?

Even if you were homophobic, this seems extreme.

A good example of the effects that religion can have in its extreme cases?

I will support McDonald's, also. How pathetically ridiculous can these people be? They will go out of their way to harass homosexuals because of a few passages in the Old Testament. However, many of their churches will marry previously divorced people even though Jesus explicitly defined such act as adultery. I wonder why these people didn't call a boycott of Ted Haggard's church when he admitted to buying meth from his male prostitute behind his wife and kids' back.

OK, boycotting a particular company that hires people with different sexual orientation has to be one of the most discriminating action to take in 21st century.
