The above statements are on the boycott website itself. And it's not just that they supported the parade, they're doing much more than that for GLBT agenda.

Frankly I can't stand it, when someone tries to hide their true motives, and hide behind/for the sake of the children.

Good for McDonald's. Now go get it a happy meal
The world as you know it will not fall apart - it just won't
be as bigoted as you would like

I always knew that Ronald looked like he should be part of a gay pride parade.

New York City-based artist and photographer Sally Davies bought a McDonald's Happy Meal back in April and left it out in her kitchen to see how well it would hold up over time.

The results? "The only change that I can see is that it has become hard as a rock," Davies told the U.K. Daily Mail.

She proceeded to photograph the Happy Meal each week and posted the pictures to Flickr to record the results of her experiment. Now, just over six months later, the Happy Meal has yet to even grow mold. She told the Daily Mail that "the food is plastic to the touch and has an acrylic sheen to it."

where's the vomit smiley?? *sick*
I've actually tested that theory. Its true. I didn't test it purposely though....

Also those boxes of donuts you get at the grocery store. They are like 12 packs i believe and come in a box all standing up. Normally its like plain, powered sugar, and chocolate coated. Well the plain and powered sugar are basically the same way. Looks perfectly fine after about 7 months. You couldn't tell the difference, until you pick it up and bang it on something. Then its like a rock. lol

Really. I've been looking for an unusual centerpiece
Add a little shellac and voila
I think those chocolate coated donuts are really dipped
in wax.

Oh no. I hope not....I ate the chocolate ones before they went stale. Just plain and powered sugar can now serve as a centerpiece that will stand the test of time. lol

I like to boycott Right-wing Repubs because of their narrow minded bigotry.

Make up your own minds on this, but I for one am disappointed that a family restaurant that has a real hold on our children's attention decided to supplant family values for it's "committment to the gay and lesbian and transgender community."
i hate boycotts, they dont work, and they cause all kinds of problems along with hate and discontent. if you dont like what mcdonalds is doing, fine, you dont go there. there may however be many others that like what mcdonalds is doing, and will support them even more because people like you are calling for a boycott.

Sheeesh. It makes as much sense to boycott businesses run by brown-eyed people, or those with noses that are too small or too large, or based on shoe size.

You.were.born.with.an.opposite.sex.attraction. Not.everybody.is. Get over it, and stop worrying about other people's in-born preferences. I hate sweet pickle relish and love dill pickle relish, but that doesn't make me better or more moral than someone with the opposite preference.

My strong family values include acceptance of my children and other relatives, just as God made them. If your family values are not as encompassing, they suck. God Bless Everyone--no exceptions!

Empty belly trumps sticking my nose in others business. How about focusing on your 401k, fake Obama health care. bogus stimulus package, forced legislation with no debate by the Pelosi socialists team.
When you put things into perspective then you will see that if McDonald's supports a gay issue it doesn't alter their providing jobs, paying taxes, feeding me ( a hard thing to do) ect ect
