(New York City) The conservative social action group American Family Association has made Pepsi Cola the latest target in its ongoing boycotts of what it calls “pro-homosexual” companies.

The AFA, in an Action Alert to its more than two-million members, urges supporters to sign an online pledge to boycott Pepsi products and to call the company to tell it “to stop promoting the homosexual agenda.”

“PepsiCo has refused a request by AFA to remain neutral in the culture war,” the Action Alert said.

“In the last two years, Pepsi has given $500,000 to the Human Rights Campaign and $500,000 to the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. The $1,000,000 was to be used to help promote homosexuality in the workplace,” the AFA said.

“Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda. Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion,” according to the Action Alert.

Ha, I didn't know that... looks like I will have to buy more Pepsi

Why people feel they have the right to dictate what goes on in the bedroom between two consenting adults is lost on me. Guess THEY have some issues...

Well, I'm certainly going to call ALL the numbers listed, to tell them in response to AFA's nonsense I will start buying those products whenever they fit my shopping list.

Good. I'm already a pepsi drinker. This gives me one more reason to keep consuming.
