Comments on this article:
  • "Please reconsider! Our family of six has enjoyed your food for years but can not continue to do so knowing that our money is going towards your new cause. We urge you to continue being a place where traditionally wed families feel comfortable."
  • "I sent an e-mail to McDonalds in April advising them of my personal boycott and received a condescending reply, much as you have described above. I am pleased to see AFA take this action. I have not and will not spend one penny at McDonalds since April."
  • "America is tired of corporations and organizations twisting the free speech and actions of its citizens into 'hatred' when we simply oppose the corporation's, or organization's, involvement in areas where we don't want our money going. Opposing your involvement says nothing about the individual's point of view on homosexuality and yet you claim to know, anyway. How arrogant and childish. We are tired of the brainwashing politically correct movement. I hoped McD's was smarter than that, but obviously it's not. Don't expect anymore of my money."
  • "shame on you, do you not realize this was a family restaurent---NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!"
  • "because McDonald's had taken a stand to support the activist gay agenda that is destroying the core of family values in the U.S. we will take a stand to support McDonald's competitors such as In-n-Out and Chick fil-A."
  • "McDonald's is a thing of the past for me. Hope they stop their arrogant attitude toward the American Family before it is too late and they go bankrupt."
  • "I used to be a regular customer, but not any moere if Mc'Dees is actively supporting this agenda."
  • "We love your fries, but we will not compromise truth. 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. Perhaps you should spend more time sitting at the tables in the play yards of the thousands of McD's restaurants around the country. We will only be missing the fries, but your corporation has lost something much greater, respect and truth."
  • "I will take me 10 great grand children to Wendys BurgerKing or some other place. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!"
  • "We're done and not another dime will be spent there from our family."
  • "I just ate my last Big Mac!!!!"
  • "I have signed this Boycott because of the actions of your company. Your support of the Gay Agenda is disappointing. My daughter loves Happy meals, but I will put my money where my mouth is and go somewhere else. Hello Burger King!!"
  • "No more McDonald's for this family!"
  • "It was bad enough having to keep my Spanish to English dictionary handy every time I pulled up to your drive-thru window (to the tune of about $1,000 per year). But this is the final straw (and I guess the final Big Mac) for me. Your blatant disregard for the strongly held moral values most Americans hold dear has cost you my business. Yes, Wendy's, I will have a Frosty with that."
  • "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."
  • "I will not patronize McDonalds again because they are in support of gay marriage. The foundation of this country is at risk of being destroyed if the gay agenda continues to be supported by your business."
  • "No more McDonald's for us - zip, zero, nada. You have taken the wrong side of this issue. We are not the haters here. The homosexuals are the intolerant ones. It's their way or the highway."
  • "You have the right to support the homosexual agenda. But it is unnecessary in order for you to do business on an equal basis to all. But I also have a right to express my dissatisfaction and to let you know that I will no longer buy from McDonald's as long as you actively promote the homosexual agenda."
  • "Very disappointed in the McDonald's corporation and what they promote. They will never see a red cent from us again!"
  • "We will not spend our money at MCD's until the Co. becomes neutral on the homosexual agenda which breaks down the natural family unit. Having two gay sisters, I know first hand how destructive this agenda becomes. I do not take it lightly labeling Christians as hateful. We just dislike the carefree lifestyles imposed on others. Lets keep our American values."
  • "You've lost our business. Take a stand for what's right!"
  • "It is sad that McDonald's is not FOR the nuclear family. Please put Ronald Mc Donald in the closet."
  • "McDonalds is certainly free to throw their formidible support behind whom they wish. However small, we are also free to choose where to spend our money. We were frequent customers of Mc's but now will throw our relatively small monetary support behind Wendy's because they have good burgers too. They are just a bit more difficult to find. Sorry McDonald's you are off our favorites list."
  • "My family has supported your business for well over 25 years. We have been loyal customers eating at your establishments 4 times/week. It pains me to say, but, I now will take my business and hard-earned money elsewhere. As much as we have enjoyed the food over the years, we will not continue to do so because of your close-minded leadership. We are amazed that your leadership is taking this stand. Such ashame. You will be losing nothing just to be neutral on same sex marriages. Now you WILL lose.... customers. The loss of revenue is completely YOUR choice."
  • "Will boycott until you change your policy."
  • "I was very disappointed when I heard that McDonald's has chosen not to stay nuetral on the issue of homosexuality. It is not about hate. Marriage was ordained by God to the union of one man and one woman. Why is the opinion of homosexuals now more important and why do they have the right to tell me I don't have a right to my opinion and that if I don't agree it means that I hate them. I don't agree with everything my husband says and I certainley don't hate him! I am sorry to say that I will no longer be able to patronize McDonald's until they change their stance and appoligize for calling anyone who has a different belief hateful."
  • "McDonalds, we will not eat at McDonalds until your establishment stops promoting the homosexual agenda at the expense of the rest of society."
  • "Saying that decent family people who are the backbone of this country are "hateful" is an insult to the customers who have built your business. Unless you stop showing support for the Gay Agenda, consider my family's patronage "McGone"."
  • "The LORD is the author of moral standards. He lovingly calls all sinners to repentance, including sodomites. McDonald's is choosing to promote perverse behavior in blindness or defiance. This is between McDonald's and God. I'm disapointed with McDonald's in the disreguard they have shown for the convictions of the majority its customers. I will join the boycott."
  • "My daughter nor I will be eating @ McDonalds as long as they support homosexual agenda. We will not be eating @ McDonalds again. Nor will my son-in-law, daugher, & grandchildren be eating there again. I would rather pay lots of money to eat @ a sit down restauranct than to go thru a fast food restaurant & support something that I know to be wrong."
  • "Being for traditional marriage is not hatred. Warning others of dangers is not hatred either. Homosexuals are still at higher risk of AIDS. We that have lost loved ones to AIDS don't want others to go through it."
  • "I and my family will be buyers at burger king.. You need to change your gay position.."
  • "This is very disturbing that a fast food chain is entering into social or religious arenas. You are loosing market share with this type of stand. Marriage is and has been between a man and a woman. Too bad you chose to go this route. We have many other options for a quick meal. You can reconsider or ask God His opinion."
  • "McDonald's first turned me off as a Father when they decided to turn their advertisements from the family to an "urban image". Now they have really disenfranchised me with this. Your promotion of "Gay activism", and the assistance of those who want to cram their idea of what is right down my throat is the best reason I can think of to no longer patronize your "facilities". As if your food has not gotten bad enough.."
  • "I think a fast food business that is considered "child" friendly with Ronald McDonald and everything else that is seen in commercials as family friendly and then turning around and supporting homosexuality is wrong. You are sending the wrong message to familys everywhere and I believe the consequences will be evident."
  • "Just this weekend my children wanted to go to McDonald's. Upon hearing the news that McDonald's supports the homosexual agenda, I asked them to make another choice. We went to Burger King instead."
  • "Mc Donalds for years have used the American Family (male and female and children on commercials) to sell their food. If this is not HYPOCRITICAL then I don't know what is. I also would call it FALSE ADVERTISMENT. I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!"
  • "I'll take my family of 4 elsewhere. No more Mcdonalds fries for my kids."
  • "Just because I am opposed to SSM does not in any way mean that I am motivated by hate. My daughter worked at McDonald's for two years and was a great employee. Both my daughters have friends who are bisexual or gay and they oppose SSM. Since when does having an oppinion that does not support the minority of gay/lesbian activists mean that all people are motivated by hate? I cannot believe that a company the size of McDonald's would take any stand on this issue other than a neutral one. We will no longer be eating at your restaurants."
  • "I am a big fan of McDonald's, but my familiy will no longer be eatting at your resturants until you all decide to become neutral. Why don't you donate it to starving children, surly no one would object to that!"
  • "I live in Astoria, Oregon and I, my family, and friends will nolonger eat there."
  • "I am absolutely appalled that McDonalds is publicly supporting same sex marriage. My family use to go to McDonalds at least 4 times a week but in light of this news, we will take our business to Wendy’s or Burger King or any other fast food “FAMILY” restaurants and I hope all the people who believe in GOD and FAMILY will boycott McDonalds also!"
  • "We are sad that McDonald's has chosen to support the gay movement instead of neutrality. We will not be able to patronize your business as long as this is your stance, and will share the news with all of our acquaintances and family. Please reconsider!"
  • "I will not patronize mcdonalds again. I will make sure I tell everyone I know to do the same. Unfortunately, money is the only thing that talks."
  • "As long as McDonald's keeps supporting same sex marriage my family will NO longer be eating there. Please Do consider others Faith and our children. It is Very wrong to be supporting gays, it even says so in the Bible. I feel that you are so wrong about supporting gays, mabey you should pick up your Bible and READ it!!!"
  • "Not only will I be boycotting McDonalds, I will also be boycotting Chipotle, a burrito restaraunt owned by McDonalds. You will never again see business from my family of 5. As long as you(McDonalds) CHOOSE to promote unhealthy lifestyles, I will CHOOSE to spend my hard earned money elsewhere."
  • "We are a family of four. We will not eat at Mcdonalds again because of your stand to openly support same sex marriage. We have strong family traditions and do not believe that this life style is biblical. It is not about hate. I am very disappointed in McDonalds for backing the gay agenda. I will let everyone know what McDonalds stands for, and urge them to participate in a boycott of your restaurant."
  • "My family will not patronize your restaurant until this support of the gay agenda is terminated. I'm sorry to hear this because McDonald's was one of my favorite and most-visited fast food eating places."
  • "Your decision McDonald's has made many families make an easy choice for where we should dine and shouldn't dine. We NO LONGER will support you. We'll support family-supported organizations that know how important Christian-heterosexual families are. It is unfortunate that you have taken a minority stand and turned your faces against majority loyal customers all over this world who have chosen to stand firm on the beliefs this country was founded on. We boycott your ideas because we know that you are actually trying to destroy Christian-heterosexual family values."
  • "We eat at McDonald's twice every week, for now, we have to wait untill you guys change your mind. This will hurt you Internationally."
  • "My Children love McDonalds and we hate to have to do the boycott, but our beliefs are so. We do not hate gay people. We just disagree with their lifestyle and want to be no way in support of it. We cannot sit back and support something that is in direct opposition to God's word. We will pray for you."
  • "I am disappointed that McDonald's is allowing itself to be swayed by a minority at the expense of the heterosexual portion of society. This could be construed as reverse hate toward heterosexuals. I see no need to go to McDonald's again."
  • "My family and I will boycott McDonalds as long as you continue to actively promote the gay agenda, which is against our family values."
  • "Dear Sir, I find it ridiculous to be called a "hater" merely because my values do not match those of the gay and lesbian community. It sounds like the response of one small child to another. As a christian, it is my responsibility to love and pray for those behaving in a manner outside of God's will. As you have chosen to stand behind this childish logic of "hate" and promote the homosexual lifestyle, my family will now be joining the AFA boycott of McDonald's. We have enjoyed your restaurant for many years, but we fortunately have many other choices."
  • "Issues of sexual orientation have NO PLACE in an organization that specifically targets children in its advertising. To treat homosexuality as an issue that has been 'settled' as a cultural norm is to spit-on the cherished religious beliefs of millions of people throughout the world. This is not about HATE, McDonalds, but about good people opposed to a lifestyle we believe is immoral. You are free to use your money and power as you please, but until you resind all public support of this agenda, I will exercise my freedom to not support you."
  • "Throughout history, the most oppressive societies have been the ones that have allowed - or actively promoted - the destruction of the nuclear family. Opposition to the gay agenda is not "hate" - neither is it same thing as "hate" for homosexuals. My son has more happy meal toys than I care to admit - but the last one he got is the last one. Not one more dime of mine is going to elevate gay couples to the status of married, or to endorse adoptions for gay households. What a travesty for McDonald's to consider itself a model of corporate responsibility."
  • "Although it was vey inconvenient my husband, son, daughter-in-law and their two children walked out of our way at the Orlando airport recently to seek out an eatery other than the McDonald's that was readily available. We are committed to our boycott even if it means missing a meal in order to avoid patronizing a business which publicly supports gay marriage."
  • "I can not support any company who goes against the very group of people, the family, they are getting so much of their business from. The other fast food chains will now get all of my business, and I am sharing with others this decision you have made about supporting the homosexual agenda and what it means to our country."
  • "I have to stand behind my Christian morals. I don't hate people who choose the gay lifestyle, but I don't agree with it either because its wrong. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Because of McDonalds stance on this issue, I will no longer patronize them...and yes, I have told family and friends as well about this."
  • "I eat at McDonald's at least 5 days a week....either breakfast &/or lunch. I will not be eating at McDonald's any more. I also often meet my friends/family members there since it has a nice playground area, but again, I'll arrange for another place to meet them. I have always enjoyed our 2 McDonald's in Plainview, TX."
  • "I am a Christian, and I do not "hate" anyone. Your support of a lifestlye threatening to my beliefs, combined with you accusing me of hatred, closes any possibility of me or my family EVER eating at MacDonalds again."
  • "I can't in good conscious support the pro-homosexual agenda by patrionizing McDonalds restaurants because I know by doing so I am helping a cause I don't agree with. I don't hate anyone. If one large chain were putting their money behind one presidential candidate you can see that those who do not want that candidate for president would actually be supporting him(her) by choosing to eat there. That's not fair to the general public and I hope you will reconsider getting involved with political agendas and special interest groups. Thank you."
  • "I'm currently in Iraq. When I get home from, I won't be spending any of my hard-earned money at an organization supporting a degenerate and unbiblical lifestyle."
  • "I have been a McDonald's customer sine your 'burgers cost fifteen cents! Since you have decided to advocate and support the destruction of traditional mariage, and, by extension, the family, I will no longer patronize your stores. Burger King suits me fine now.I agree with the reasons provided by the other writers below. Front Royal, VA."
  • "McDonald's targets 2 year old children to blackmail their parents into bringing them to McDonald's, & has helped to undermine & destroy the family by turning meal time into "play time." Now "IT" wants to foist a "gay" time on all Americans. This is beyond "hatred." This is arrogance & contempt for even basic human dignity. No McBuggers for me."
  • "We are NOT against gay people, but we do oppose the gay agenda!!!"
  • "We don't eat at McDonald's much anyway, but you've given us a reason not to eat there at all! We'll certainly be passing this along to our children's (we have 4) friend's families!"
  • "My Family patronized McDonald's for years, but will cease to eat there until McDonald' stops fund the homosexual agenda. We will encourage other other friends to stop eating at McDonald's."
  • "McDonald's should stick to the food making buisness, and stop promoting anti-family lifestyles."
  • "Competitors of McDonalds will now be getting my business. McDonalds is no longer a family restaurant."
  • "My family and I will no longer visit any Mcdonalds until they stop supporting the homosexual agenda. They should just stay neutral!!!!"
  • "As soon as I heard about this, I immediately sent out an email to over 400 of my friends and family, as well as posted it on a networking website encouraging others to boycott as well. We just went on a trip, in which we usually stop at McDonald's 3 to 4 times for our 4 children. This time we opted for other choices and explained to our children why we can't eat at McDonalds anymore...they were very sad. We traveled with a group of 10 people and after discussing what was going on, we all opted to not eat at McD's the entire trip."
  • "I will not be patronizing McDonald's this summer. I do not agree with them actively promoting the gay agenda."
  • "My children love McDonald's. I think we will be going to Burger King from now on if McDonald's feels that homosexuality is right. We need to take a stand and stop being politically correct. God loves all people. But, gay and lesbian lifestyles are wrong and McDonald's should not support it."
  • "We have generally chosen McDonald's. We now will simply make another choice. There are other options. We cannot support a company with an agenda."
  • "please reconsider your agenda of supporting the gay agenda. Until you do I and my family of 6 will need to dine out elsewhere. thanks for taking the time to listen and hopefully reconsider. regards, the Hanson's"
  • "My husband & I are ministers and we are so ashamed that McDonalds would rather support the Homosexual Agenda than the American families that have enjoyed eating at Mc Donalds down through the years. We have up until recently ate at McDonalds three to four times a week. WE will we no longer eat at Mcdonalds. Revs Joe & Arlene Rohrbacker"
  • "We will be boycotting McDonald's until they stop promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.Mr.& Mrs Pritchard"
  • "I'll be going to Burger King from now on."
  • "It seems funny to me that any company would support such a small percent of the population as if they could survive on that percentage alone. It matters not to me what decision you come to; I will never cross the threshold of your establishment again."
  • ""unbelievbale...you should have stayed neutral, we will not eat at your restaurants again" includes 5 young children and my husband and I. We can no longer patronize a business who supports and promotes values that are in conflict with ours. God bless!""
  • "I use to love McDonald's food but I cannot stomach your food now because of your decision to support the gay agender in this country. I will be diligent in getting this message out to everyone I know To boycot McDonald's PS I have found Hardees has much better food."
  • "I am so tired of your attacks on the family and traditional institution of marriage that has served us well since the beginning of time. My family of six and all my friends have had their last McDonalds meal until you elect to remain neutral."
  • "We will not be going to your restaurant unless stop your full support of the homosexual lifestyle. We have 3 young children and I am expaining to them the choices your company is making and that's whey we cannot go there. Please be careful what you support."
  • "My Mother-in-law told me 3 months ago we should boycott Mcdonald's. After watching this utube commercial now I finally know why. 2 adults and 4 children will no longer enjoy McDonald's Sunday morning breakfast and the occassional week day lunch. Bummer for us; but we are willing to make a sacrifice. Hopefully millions will join us."
  • "Mcdonalds, I don?t buy anymore from you, neither will my friends here in my nation, Uruguay! You have greatly offend everyone with your antchristian hatred!"
  • "I am dissapointed that you would choose sides in this debate. I can no longer support your business. There are other businesses that have chosen to remain neutral and we will give them our business."
  • "I am disappointed that McDonalds are FUNDING and supporting the homosexual agenda. I will no longer support McDonalds."
  • "I'll not go through the doors until McDonald's get out of this homosexual issue."
  • "It is with sadness that I have learned of your alliance with the anti one woman/one man = marriage belief, and with an agenda that promates hate of Christian beliefs because I always thought of McDonald's as a very family oriented business."
  • "Goodbye Big Mac - Hello Whopper!"
  • "I couldn't be more disappointed in an American institution.You have the opportunity to support the ideal this country was founded on - family;. that is, marriage between 1 man and 1 woman, the foundation of the family,the way God intended it.Now, instead of being a leader, you have become a follower, and it will come as no surprise when your company falls.I will encourage everyone I know to eat their burgers elsewhere."
  • "I used to think that you company was a friendly moral but this latest tactic has gone too far. I and my family of seven will go elsewhere."
  • "As long as McDonalds continues to promote homosexuality I will continue to support Wendy's. This is not something that a family friendly restraunt should ever think of doing."
  • "McDonald's behavior, rhetoric and stance are a slap in the face to their traditional core market--that being families with small children. You have clearly abandoned us, and we are now abandoning you for your competitors. I and my family previously visited McDonalds an average of at least 5 times per week. We have stopped."
  • "I am very sad to hear that McDonalds supports the gay community in their efforts to make others condone this sin as a lifestyle and change the nature of marriage that God set in order. Nature itself tells us that it takes a man and woman to procreate. My family has eaten at McDonalds for 4 generations. We no longer will do so. I cannot patronize a company that chooses to go against Christian values that our country was founded upon. And those who openly support this sin should not expect the blessings of God."
  • "From the below comments it looks like you have lost your customer base, I am sending this page to everyone on my email list."
  • "Please consider remaining neutral in the homosexual lifestyle issue. It really is not about hating the homosexual but a deeper concern for their eternal welfare and their health now. Their health is at a high risk as you consider the devastating effects of AIDs and the other health issues that result from the homosexual lifestyle."
  • "You must understand that standing up for less than 2% of the country in an activity that is wrong by any standard, is not a very smart business decision. You have lost the business of my family."
  • "Due to your support of the gay agenda, my family and I will no longer eat at your restaurant any more. I have talked to my church and co-workers about what you all are supporting and they will not be supporting your restaurant. This is wrong and we will not be a partner by buying your food."
  • "My wife and I will no longer support McDonald's financially nor through labour."
  • "I have boycotted McDonalds because of your support of the gay agenda! A former McDonalds customer"
  • "Genelemn, it is the family that supports your resturant. Will not be supporting your business with my family dollars"
  • "Burger King Here I Come!!!!!!"
  • "McDs was once a great resturant, but once my family of 5 found out about your support for the homosexual agenda we have decided to no longer patrone with your facitities. We hope you change your minds on this issue, but until then my entire family of over 200 will no longer be a patron at any Mcdonalds or any other place that supports agendas as this. Sorry."
  • "there are too many good fast food places to give McD's a 2nd thought. Goodbye Quarter pounder, hello Chik Filet!"
  • "I will do all I can to see that all those in my youth football league, bowling league, and at the city parks dept boycott you for your unfamily values."
  • "McDonald's is not pro-family! I will spend my dollars somewhere else."
  • "My family WILL NOT be visiting the golden arches until your company quits supporting the homsexual lobby. There are plenty of other places to eat. Bye, a long time customer"
  • "I can't believe that they think we hate gay people. Thats reason enough not to eat there."
  • "I was not planning to boycott McDonald's. However, when they responded to they boycott saying that those who participated were "hateful" people, that was the last straw. If McDonald's feels that it does not want the business of those who disagree with the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle, then they won't get it. I will gladly take my business elsewhere. If they really wanted to promote diversity as they claim, they would stoop to name-calling against people who disagree with them."
  • "Somehow the thought of Ronald McDonald in a gay pride parade doesn't go over well. Keep McDonald's neutral!"
  • "My family will no longer support a company whose policies are in direct opposition to our moral values. The militant homosexual movement is a threat to national security and my family. I will oppose it and all who support it."
  • "Any corporation that unilaterally decides to weigh in on cultural and moral issues such as this, deserves any and all backlash.....I will NEVER eat at MacDonalds again, and will encourage others to join in this boycott."
  • "I had craving a McDonald's ice cream cone recently, but I'm now dedicated totally to this boycott."
  • "I WAS a twice a week "eater" at McDonald's. That has changed now. I will NOT eat there again and will not take my grandchildren there. Since you have such a hate for christians and those not supporting the homosexual agenda, I'm sure you wouldn't want to take my money any more. As a christian, I've NEVER been taught to "hate." Too bad you haven't."
  • "Dear Sir, It deeply saddens me that MacDonald's is taking such a political pose. You used to support children only. How sad is it that a great American company has decided to polorize itself with an issue for adults rather than the agenda of supporting what built the business."
  • "There are many choices for fast food. You will never be my choice again."
  • "Due to faith and conscience,my family will no longer eat at any Mcdonalds restaurant again."
  • "You are a very large company with a fair amount of influence.To bad you have chosen to offend so many of your former customers. Sorry, but no more visits to your storesfor this family."
  • "McDonalds, you are history. I will throw more of my money in the direction of Chick Filet."
  • "Our family and all of our friends and relatives 32 aunts and uncles across the USA will not eat at McDonalds again until they stop supporting anti family agendas. I used to work for McDonalds corporate in the 70's and I know Ray Kroc would be so ashamed of the direction of this company."
  • "Hi folks. I haven't eaten at your business since I found out where my money goes. How about that? Then you chose to insult me and call ME a hateful homophobic (a non-existent condition according to the APA) Have you seen the behavior of those whom you're supporting? Talk about "hate"!! You're messed up. thank God for Carl's Jr."
  • "Dear Sirs, Oh NO! Say it isn't so! How will I live without those french fries! Please, please return to a position of neutrality. Of course this issue isn't about your great french fries. It is about McDonald's abandoning their family-friendly roots and embracing a culture that desires the break up of the American family. So sad! I love you guys, but I will miss you! I am headed to Chick-Fil-A!"
  • "My boycott of McDonald's just cost your company at least $300 dollars a month...and that's just what my family spent there. That does not include all of our friends and family that I've told who were equally outraged at your support of the NGLCC. Did I mention the roughly $300 a month over the last 5 years or so? Add that up if you will."
  • "I will not take my kid to McDonalds again. ChiK Fil-A has better nuggets and a better Family environment."
  • "Sadly, McDonald's has come a long way AWAY from it's origin...a FAMILY place...where families have felt that McDonald's truely cared about them and their needs (aka McDonald's and McDonald House. Our family (as well as my parent's and grandparents) have always considered McDonald's a "regular eating place". This is NO LONGER THE CASE. We WILL NOT PATRONIZE McDonald's any longer due to it's stand on the homosexual lifestyle. This is not an issue of hate...this is an issue of moral behavior. We want our children to grow up to be adults that take responsiblity for their actions instead of hiding behind uncontrolled sexual misconduct."
  • "Interesting how those who hate so much like to point fingers and accuse others of what they alone are guilty of. It is so sad to see McDonalds - a "family friendly" restaurant go so low. McDonalds was my favorite place to go, but now I will not spend another dime there. How sad. I hope the price you are going to pay in lost business for this decision is worth it!"
  • "As a long time & frequent customer of McDonalds and a share holder I was shocked to hear their support of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. I am dismayed by their support of them. Since it appears that McDonalds is no longer family friendly I have no choice but to stop frequenting their restaurants and I will be selling my shares in their company."
  • "I have taken a full page ad in my local town about this issue and have reminded folks that those who remain silent are condoning McDonalds! We are tired of having this shoved down our throats by Hollywood, Liberals, and the Democratic party. I was once a Democrat until this and abortion became their platform. The party left my father and now they have left me! Never will I support McDonalds by visiting them. Even if the boycott is called off!!!"
  • "I am more than happy to Boycott this anti-family Restaurant. This will benefit my Conscience,pocketbook and my waistline!"
  • "No longer will I buy anything from McDonalds and no longer will my friends either. Burger King is the way to go!"
  • "Because of your pro-homosexual stance, our family of 7 will no longer be McDonalds customers."
  • "It is a sad day when McD's chooses to support a less-than 3% portion of the U,S. in the name of diversity. And to labels others as "haters' or other such trash tells us all we need to know about how our business is viewed. Well, we are neither haters or fools, and we do intend to spend ou dollars at businesses that do not share your so-called diversity views and hold their "majority" spenders with somewhat more esteem. Your products are not THAT good and there pleanty of marvelous alternatives!!!!"
  • "Thanks for your stand McDonald's. In our part of the country, Chic-fil-a just got a big sales boost!"
  • "As a McDonalds regular for the past 35 years I find your policy promoting the homosexual agenda disturbing. I will not continue to patronize your business."
  • "Even though McDonalds is my favorite fast food, I will not be purchasing anything until I hear that you have abandoned your support of the gay/lesbian agenda. I do not agree with the gay lifestyle and do not want my money going towards that agenda."
  • "McDonald's (as well as any other "business" that will not stay neutral on any "cultural" issue) will not get my "business" ...they need to stick to ..."business". On the "cultural" issue of homosexuality, the reason I oppose it is not because I "hate" anyone...it is because I have come to know God personally through His word. I have come to learn that, just as a parent loves their child too much to let them do something that will destroy their (or anyone else's)lives, so does God. He loves each of us and desires that we come to know the truth ...so that we won't hurt ourselves or others...so we can be set free."
  • "I will tell all my friends about this. McDonalds isnt the only game in town. We did the same thing with Starbucks and look what happened to them. They are closing them by the hundreds."
  • "I could have never imagined a restaurant that promotes thmeselves as being family would put their entire future in jeopardy to support the homosexual agenda. This is a big mistake that I hope you reconsider."
  • "My family and friends will no longer be eating at McDonalds. I used to eat lunch at McDonalds. I had to go out of my way to eat at a different place. I will not compromise my values. It's not about hate. It's about morals. Obviously McDonalds hates the family unit. I will not go where my family is not wanted."
  • "I will never, ever, visit a McDonald's in lieu of these developments."
  • "This boycott is not about hate. I will no longer be a McDonald customer. Ken Dawson"
  • "I have been going to McDonalds for a long time and enjoy the food, especally the Big and tasty meal. But , because of your stand supporting same sex marriage and the gay life style I and my family will no longer patronize McDonalds."
  • "You folks made a very bad decision by supporting the Gay Agenda. It cost you our business. Faithful customers for 47 years but no more."
  • "My Grandson and I will no longer eat at McDonalds and will encourage others to boycott also"
  • "I enjoyed eating at McDonald's for many years and I used to work at McDonald's too, but ever since I became aware of your support of gay agenda I have stopped eating at your restaurants."
  • "If you had stayed neutral, we would still be patronizing your restaurants. We are a family of 5, who probably eats at McDonald's once a week. Not any more."
  • "It's a wonderful thing when God-fearing people in this country can stand up and say "no" to obvious societal wrongs. Even though McDonald's is the only 24-hr fast food restaurant in town, and I work late hours, I will go home and make my own food rather than give such an abhorrent business my hard-earned money. May God have mercy on our souls, for we live in a terrible world."
  • "It's interesting that you have proven yourselves anti-family. by supporting the gay agenda. Even though there is a McDonald's a mile a way, I'll gladly drive the extra two miles to Chick-Fil-a, a family friendly establishment."
  • "My Family, friends and I are boycotting McDonald’s."
  • "When Mcdonalds implied that those who reject the homosexual life style are motivated by hate, I immediately started boycotting. My disapproval of the homosexual life style is based on expressing my religious beliefs and my personal freedom of expression,protected (for how long) under the constitution. Gays should not be discriminated against nor treated unkindly. Love the sinner, hate the sin. gl fayetteville, nc"
  • "Our children like McDonalds and we can easily spend $20. Oh well, Burger King is just down the road."
  • "Sorry but my morals outweigh my appetite. It is so sad I can't enjoy this eatery anymore. Please consider the MORALS and FAITH of what made this country great."
  • "McDonalds - as long as you are supporting the gay agenda my family of 5 will eat somewhere else."
  • "My family and I, including our grandchildren will not patronize McDonalds again unless they change their policy of activly promoting the homosexual lifestyle."
  • "Dear Sir, This is not about hate, it is about right and wrong. I believe that same sex marriage is wrong. It is a distortion of marriage. Marriage was ordained by God to be the union of one man and one woman."
  • "I have no choice but to take my own stand which is to stand behind my family which includes 5 young children and my husband and I. We can no longer patronize a business who supports and promotes values that are in conflict with ours. God bless!"

  • "unbelievbale...you should have stayed neutral, we will not eat at your restaurants again"
  • "My wife and I have been faithful, regular customers of McD's for 40 yrs. Due to your decision to corporately support and defend the gay agenda we will no longer fund McD's corp with our consumer dollars."
  • "I am VERY disappointed that McDonalds has decided to openly support gay activists and so called "gay marriage". Our family has been regular customers of McD for 30 years, but we are no longer. When we travel this summer we will be looking elsewhere for food -there are many alternatives.True Christians don't hate Gays, they only desire to have them acknowledge their sinful lifestyle and and accept Jesus' forgiveness! We are ALL sinners in need of Jesus' foregiveness."
  • "We are a family of 9. We refuse to eat at Mc Donald's and choose to not spend a sigle cent at an organization who markets to the family while financially supporting agendas such as homosexuality that undermine traditional family values."
  • "While we as a Christian nation must engage in civil behavior to all people, we do not, nor should we, have to condone and/or accept the agenda of those that oppose the Christian values of family upon which our nation was built. To that end, I am disappointed in McDonald's open support of the homosexual agenda. McDonald's has been a family-oriented business for many years, and has been a part of our family for three generations. We will now choose another place in which to spend our money."
  • "McDonald's should remain neutral."
  • "Dear McDonald's people, I have been a faithful patron of your establishement for over 35 years. I have chosen to spend my extra $$$ in other arenas that are consistent with my beliefs. I have enjoyed your products and have enjoyed enteraction with your employees. I am sorry to have to make this decision."
  • "my 3 children and I will not dine at McDonald's as long as they support the gay agenda"
  • "When I travel I look for a McDonalds for breakfast now I'll go to Bojangles"
  • "3 kids 2 adults will now go to a competitor. If we all do this, the numbers will add up."
  • "To the McDonald's corportaion: Simply disagreeing with someone's beliefs is not hatred. I disagree with those who believe that pedophilia is just another alternative lifestyle, but I do not hate them. I would suggest maybe you state your opinion on this matter. Do you agree with pedophilia? If you do, this boycott is all the more needed. If you don't, does that mean you hate pedophiles? C'mon McDonald's, don't treat us like fools with no brain. You are in business to make money, which is perfectly fine. But be honest and admit that throwing your weight behind the homosexual lobby is merely a business decision. Well, me and tens of thousands like me are making a business decision too. Tomorrow, I plan eat lunch at Arby's. I'm through with McDonalds until you can get your head screwed on straight and stop lying to the American people. No Big Mac is worth the moral compromise of agreeing with the homosexual agenda."
  • "We have avoided purchasing McDonald's food for several months now. We do not want our dollars to support the gay agenda."
  • "Shame on you McDonald's. You are promoting hate against our Heavenly Father and His instructions to all those he created. I do not hate the those who choose the homosexual lifestyle, they are still a soul that needs to be reached for everlasting life in eternity of our Heavenly Home! As previously stated, McDonald's will NO LONGER enjoy the support from my family!! A joyful Christian and proud to be a child of God."
  • "I will make sure everyone I know is awrare of Mc-Donalds Stand for the Homosexual agenda. We are Christains and my grandchildren love to go to your resturants, but no more!We will be spreading the word to those we know everywhere to not buy your products!"
  • "I am 73, my wife is 70 - As much as we have enoyed the golden archers over the years, we will not continue to do so because of your close minded leadership. To call us haters tells us your mind is closed, not open to change. We are amazed that your leadership is taking this stand."
  • "I "hate" to say it, but McDonald's just got its last dollar from me."
  • "My boycotting would not be based on hate. I have many friends that are homosexuals I do not condone what they do and would pray they would find out for themselves that is not what the Lord would have them to do. I dn't condemn them in anyway but love them. My boycot of McDonalds though would be because they support this a s a business. If I don't believe my dollars that I spend there should go to promote homosexuality, then bing this is still America, then I choose to do so. I would still be friends of any homosexual person that considers it honorable to be my friend knowing full well I am a Christian and do not necessarily agress with his or her position. No Hate here. We're talking my choice for my money and my choice to still care without being a "Homophobe" as we have been labled."
  • "This makes me sick! McDonals's has chosen to accommodate a small group of people who live by what is right in THEIR eyes, and they expect all of society to accept their definition of morality and tolerance. "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.""
  • "I am appalled and dismayed that McDonalds, a family restaurant, is supporting the gay agenda. What kind of message is that giving to your valued customers? It's not about the food or the staff or the gay people who eat at McDonalds, it's about your support of the gay agenda."
  • "I never thought i'd say this but Burger King fries look a whole lot better now-a-days."
  • "Are people opposing murder motivated by hate? We are motivated by the things that our maker hates. You too will one day stand before our maker and explain to Him how He was wrong. I pray that you meet our maker on this side and come to know what He loves and what He hates and base your morals on that. God loves us all, and He wants us all to be healthy, that's why He gave us commandments. Blessings to you."
  • "Dear McDonald's, Until your company publically changes its stand, I will not purchase any of your products. I will insure that my children don't go there and I will tell all of my friends to avoid your store."
  • "I eat at McDonalds frequently as it is near where I work but that has all changed now. I will take my business elsewhere and will encourage anyone that I can tell about McDonalds stand on this gay issue. I cannot believe that a place that promotes families would give their money and support to this cause. I will no longer take my grandchildren there we will patronize other restaurants. I wonder what the founder of this restaurant would say if he were alive?"
  • "I have seen the standards of McDonalds in decline for many years, so this comes as no surprise. They get no more of my or my family's business and I will actively spread the word! Randall Maden Lakeland, FL"
  • "You've lost my family (5) business. We are kind people who do not discriminate against others but we also do not change definitions as in MARRIAGE!"
  • "My wife, my six children, and I will not be supporting McDonald’s. I do not agree with McDonald’s, as a company, using their financial resources to promote a political issue instead of making fast food. If McDonald’s has money to give… then give more to charity…or help fight the spread of AIDS in Africa, etc., use McDonald’s resources to make a positive impact. I sure am going to miss the Southwest Salad, I was addicted."
  • "Dear Mr. Skinner: I do not have hatred for gays. I have a very dear friend who has a gay son. I have a brother-in-law who is gay. I have business aquaintances who are gay. I do not approve of their lifestyle, but I do not hate them. They have chosen a path that is morally wrong and no matter how much it is promoted or pushed, it is wrong. Don't try and make it right by pushing your agenda on the world. Howard Norton Salt Lake City"
  • ""Political correctness operates by shutting down non-politically correct people's freedom of speech. Anyone who challenges the politically correct stance is automatically labeled as intolerant, a bigot or hatemonger" Margaret Somerville How true this is!! McDonald's will learn the hard way as did Ford Motor Co.. I am sick and tired of having to be "tolerant" and accept deviant behaviour. McDonald's will no longer enjoy any support from my family! Peter C. Browning"
  • "Dear McDonald's I have dear friends who were in the homosexual life style and I have dear friends who are still in it. I love them all very much. They are close friends. But, the homosexual lifestyle is unnatural to the body function. It puts the participants at untold risk and is counterfeit to what God has designed the partnership of marriage to be. To deviate from something is to go off track from a set course. My friends who have come away from that life style will be the first to tell you of the relief from going off course. They are joyful in their new lives. Has McDonald's deviated from it's course to serve the public with quality food and gotten into the politics of the day without vision for McDonald's family profile that we have honored for so long? Come back to your correct navigation. Please go away from the direction you have taken. Currently, we are unable to patronize you in your present course. We wait your decision."
  • "It sounds to me that if anyone hates anyone, it is McDonald's Corp., for their ugly tone they take with their customer base. Of course, we know their eyes are blinded to the truth, and we know who blinds them. I have influence over at least 200 people in different states .... through a prayer organization. We feel that it is not only our right, it is our Christian duty, to boycott McDonald's in every way we can, especially by each family increasing the boycott among their friends and family. Let this be a lesson to those many companies out there that it is not profitable in any sense to turn their collective noses up at those who built you!"
  • "It is not about hate! It is about morality! McDonald's used to be a good wholesome family restaurant. No more! Satisfaction guaranteed! I am not satisfied with McDonald's! You just lost 6 paying customers. And, once the news spreads to the rest of my family... The number could be 100 plus customers!"
  • "The corporate management of any corporation has the full rights to choose how to govern that corporation. Where they go wrong is to totally ignore their biggest stakeholder - customer who provides the financial income to that corporation. As a customer and a community stakeholder I choose not to spend any further money in a corporation whose agenda I totally disagree with. Nora Nevers, Arlington, TX"
  • "Sounds to me like McDonalds "hates" traditional christian family values. I'm sorry to hear that, and I will be doing business elsewhere from now on."
  • "I am disappointed in the stance McDonald's has taken in its gay agenda. I do not hate gays and lesbians. The ones I know I genuinely care about, which makes me hate THE SIN that has enslaved them even more. Homosexuality destroys the life of the one trapped in it and it destroys a culture that is forced to accept it. My family used to eat at one of your restaurants at least once a week. It breaks my heart to have to boycott you, but I will not knowingly give my money to those who support any alternative lifestyle. I also apologize for those on my side who come across as hateful. They do not represent the majority of us, who are making this stand with a heavy heart and are praying for you."
  • "Sorry, McDonald's - You've stepped outside the bounds with support for a political agenda that flies in the face of family values. Yours is one place this grandma will not be stopping. This is not a response motivated by hate, but by the desire to nurture another generation to value the heritage of our country."
  • "It's a sad thing when a company like McDonal's cares more about supporting the gay life stle than Christian families. Well, they won't get any more business from our family! From here to shining sea we won't eat at another McDonalds!"
  • "My family will no longer spend our money in an establishment that goes against the fundamental religious beliefs of the majority of the people in this nation. Accepting and promoting Same Sex Marriage is an affront to the majority of Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc., in this country. You have given in to the radical gay agenda and our family will never spend one more penny in any of your stores. Brad Rehn Oceanside, Ca."
  • "McD's, please do not confuse hate for intolerence. I tell my children that I will always love them but I will not always tolerate there actions. I suppose Mr. Whitmore always tolerates whatever his friends, neighbors, loved one do because, by his account, if he does not tolerate them then he hates them. Do not market yourself as a family friendly place if you are going to take this stance. Christians or any one who cares about the moral well being of their children or, for that matter, the nation can no longer stand for it. No McD's for my family but I do pray for Mr. Whitmore, his employees as well as the gay community."
  • "McDonald's, You are suppose to be a family restaurant. I believe that it is inappropriate for you to speak for or against gay issues. Ronald should be neutral."
  • "I do not hate you or anyone else not my own son for his choice,I love him but I am not happy,no Grandchildren,what if all the Roosters,all the Bulls were "Gay" you would be out of business. I will no longer support your business,really dissapointed in your decision to actually support their marriage...Betty Park"
  • "I don't hate anyone. I think that it is crazy for a hamburger joint to think that they have to get involved in politics. How much money did McDonalds donate to Christian organizations?"
  • "I have been a loyal McDonald's customer for as long as I can remember. Even before becoming a father and taking my children and now grandchildren to Mickey D’s to enjoy a simple, fun and tasty burger meal. I respect that the McDonald's leadership feels it must follow its heart in supporting the Gay and Lesbian agenda. Please respect my decision to follow my heart as I can no longer support a company that has forgotten the families who help build the McDonald's organization. Tony Harris - Marshalltown, IA"
  • "It is not about hate. It is about caring enough to let gays and gay supporters know that whether they admit it or not, opposing the laws of God their creator can only lead to God witholding blessings and the whole country losing out."
  • "We stopped attending McDonald's restaurants since we heard of it's monitary support of the homosexual agenda. My kids are gladly helping to spread the word of this boycott through word of mouth to their own friends. Our family is gladly giving their $40/week eating out expense to other restaurants who make better use of OUR money."
  • "It is understandable that these people will not listen to reason, and want to say this is for hate. They never look at the Bible, and dont care what this will do to the families of people that practice this kind of lifestyle. They are the ones that will be hurt ultimately."
  • "For McDonalds whose growth over the last forty years can largely be attributable to the average American family to do this is inexcusable and a slap inthe face of the millions of us who thought we were patronizing a company that indeed shared values with the MAJORITY of American families. I think every American in addition to not buying food at McDonalds, Boston Market or any other associated enterprise should also SELL any stock they have in this corporation AND call for the ouster of top management AND the Board of Directors. Enough is enough."
  • "McDonald's recently stated in their statement to the Washington Post that companies should be socially responsibl corporate citizens and I wholeheartedly agree with this philosophy. That is why I am shocked to hear that McDonald's support the National Gay and Lesbian Coalition. Obviously, no member of the McDonald's executive team or board of directors has ever visited any gay bars, or spent any length of time around gay individuals either this or they are all gay themselves and this is why they support such an unhealthy lifestyle; a lifestyle that could never be considered socially responsible. Anyone who has ever spent any length of time saturated in the homosexual lifestyle can first hand to tell you how unhealthy this choice of living is on the individual who practices it and how it deteriorates their lives."
  • "Until I found out your stance on the homosexual lifestyle, I was a daily customer. Me and my family will find other avenues to spend our fast food dollar. Probably need to eat healthier anyway."
  • "Please read Genesis 19* God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah* Godly moral values has nothing to do with hate. This is about TRUTH. "The TRUTH will set you free". GUARANTEED! Then please read 1st Timothy 1:9-11."
  • ""I am shocked at the lack of intelligence in the McConald's management. Supporting the gay agenda is not an extension of 'love' but a act of foolishness. You are makeing irresponsible choices that will affect our young population in adverse ways. You should really be ashamed."
  • "Even my gay friends admit that investing in a cause is not neutrality. You have become a standard bearer for one viewpoint."
  • "I am appalled at the fact that McDonalds would so blantly spit in the eye of all Christians and not remain neutral on this issue. I do not wish anyone injury or harm, but I do hold to the belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. I will no longer go to a McDonald's nor take my grandchildren and I will gladly forward all the info to as many as possible. Marion Pate"
  • "Just as you have the freedom to make your own decisions, I will use my freedom and make my own decision to not frequent a McDonalds business. I can no longer see McDonalds as a place I would bring my family."
  • "It's a shame that McDonald's is allowing a few misguided persons in their upper management to use McDonald's funds to promote their own personal gay agenda. I'm also deeply insulted that they are labeling persons opposed to the gay lifestyle as hateful. At least they seem to have moved on from the term "homophobia" which was really stupid. I'm not AFRAID of them, nor do I HATE them, I just don't agree with their lifestyle choices. My family will not be eating at McDonald's anymore, and I'll pass this along to everyone I know. I think McD's is really going to regret this."
  • "I am appalled that Mc Donald's Corporation is backing the gay community with their financial donations. Same sex marriages are not only sinful but the homosexuals are in terferring with the family unit consisting of one mother and one father. Mc Donalds Corporation is not being neutral in their decision. This not a hate issue it is a degregated issue when they profess to be a family place. No more Mc Donald's for us."
  • "We will never eat your food again, should you choose to support such radical and anti-family organizations."
  • "Every individual and corporation has a right to choose what they will support. However, with that freedom, there can be a price. I resent that those of us who want to preserve the morals that this country was built on are being labeled as the hate mongers. There still remains "right and wrong" stances on issues. To push the gay agenda is repudiate these values and morals. It is a shame that you could not just remain neutral or at least silent on this issue. The price that you will pay for this decision, will be in your wallet. If the "silent majority" will stand up against stances such as these, I think the impact you feel could be very substantial. I wish it did not"
  • "Goodbye from most of America. If homosexuals are more important McDonalds than the families that made you what you are today - you obviously don't want your business to stay afloat. Burger King will now sky rocket."
  • "It makes no business sense to take the biased social stance which McDonalds Corporation has taken. Therefore, they are squarely deciding to support same-sex [SSM]marriage in our culture. And likewise, I have a right to decide not to support SSM because of its demonstrated destructive impact on our country and society. Therefore, my family and I have decided to join the boycott against McDonalds restaurants and products, a stance which my family and I will take until McDonalds decides that their corporation will no longer support SSM. Our action in this is not, as McDonalds officials have suggested, based on a hate posture. The boycott is not against people, it is against an ideal which has been demonstrated to be destructive to our country by sociologigical study after study ... and that is SSM. I hope that McDonalds will become neutral in this issue; but as I said, until then, I will do all I can to influence others to avoid any McDonalds restaurant."
  • "McDonalds, let's just look at the pure economics of your situation: You're pandering to a demographic (practicing homosexuals) that represents certainly no more that 4% of the population. You are offending a demographic (Bible believing Christians) that represents something over 70% of the population. That's just plain bad business. Speaking of business, you won't be getting any more of mine until you turn around and once again support God's defeintion of "family". For your employee's sake, I do hope you can stay in business by pandering to the 4%, but I doubt it."
  • "I do not hate anyone. However, I do not approve of the gay agenda or same sex marriage. To the extent that McDonald's chooses to support these initiatives, I do not wish to support McDonald's with my patronage or that of my family."
  • "Dear McDonald's, I have two young children. We attend church on a regular basis. After Sunday church service we almost always treat the kids by taking them to one of our near by McDonald's. Not any more! You just lost a life long customer. We do not hate anybody, plus it is not our right to judge anyone either. But, the day will come when we all will be judged! Which side of the fence do you want to be on? I know for sure which side I want my family to be on! May God bless you and have mercy on your souls."
  • "I worked for McDonald's for 11 years as Manager and produced a 39% PAC during that time. Which means 39% of every dollar made under my management was pure profit to the Company. I am so disgusted with the course they have taken. I would never have put that kind of hard work into a place like this. When I worked there it was strickly FAMILY oriented and did not get envolved something so sinful and just plain wrong. I am embarrassed to say I ever worked there."
  • "We used to treat our children to a McDonald's Happy Meal from time to time, but no more, since you hate the sanctity of a true marriage between one man and one woman and the institution of the family by supporting a perverted life style. You have clearly shown that the family is not important to you. You have also labeled those of us who stand for what is right as hateful people. I am a Christian -- we have loved the homosexual yet hated the sin that had them so bound, and I have seen people set free from the homosexual lifestyle, and they feel as if a huge weight was taken off of them and everything in their lives are fresh and new. We are very disappointed in you -- McDonald's is not an option for me and my family anymore."
  • "I will not crosss McDonalds threshold again. Hope you go broke."
  • "I refuse to set foot in a McDonalds till they change their ways,my 7 grandkids said "we are going to Burger King ""
  • "McDonald's, you will never again see me in one of your establishments, and I intend to inform as many others as I can to boycott your business."
  • "I have been a loyal customer of your resturant for many, many years--all the way back to 1965, When the 1st McDonald's opened in Tucson,Az. That's a whole lot of burgers & fries and drinks consumed by my family alone. Because of your stance in support of the NGLCC, I will no longer be a regular customer of yours, as a matter of fact, unless your company changes its stance on this issue, I will no longer be your customer. Elick Marusak 75119"
  • "I guess it's Burger King from now on when I need fast food."
  • "How can a company be against discrimination when they want people to discriminate by not eating at other restaurants, or giving all of those choices on their menu--for the those on a diet, a more discriminating choice in food."
  • "McD's, My family in which I grew up (yes, all 9 of us) loved your restaurant. In High School after the big game I couldn't wait to get to McD's. My family of 9, my wife and 7 children, will no longer go to your restaurant after your blatant disregard for what God says in His Word against the sinful lifestyle that you are choosing to promote. If you will reconsider, we may also. As for now, say goodbye to our business. Mike"
  • "Wrong is wrong, McDonalds. Ronald should stay out of the Political Correctness game. I enjoyed your food and always had good service (just ate there last night), but seeing this has moved my patronage to Burger King and Taco Bell."
  • "I am disappointed that McDonald's has decided to support the homosexual movement by putting money behind it. Why can't you at least remain neutral so families that oppose this lifestyle can continue to bring children to McDonald's."
  • "I am a mother of 2 and grantmother of 5 and have always loved to take my children & grandchildren to McDonald's for a family meal together. I have no hate at all in my heart for homosexuals, I just don't agree with their lifestyle and to be quite frank, I am so tired of this immoral movement being shoved in my face all the time. Goodbye McDonalds & hello Burger King!"
  • "Throwing the "hate" word around in defense of what to me is a wrong position is very objectionable to me. I do not hate gays, but I do not agree with McDonald's supporting the SSM position. My grandsons certainly won't be eating at McDonald's while they are here and I'll make it clear to them why not."
  • "You better believe that no one will eat at McDonald's in my house EVER again until they reverse their decision and at this point, apologize for the error. There are too many other places to eat and McDonald's will NOT be one of them."
  • "I've enjoyed McDonald's since I was in college 40 years ago but no more. Your blatant disrespect for my values require me to spend my money elsewhere."
  • "Since you have decided to use the resources you have made from the families of this country to support a cause you believe in, then my family will not contribute to those resources any longer. You believe that you must make a stand and so do we. I would hope that neither of us are doing it out of hate!"
  • "Gee, McD's. Too bad you think I am a hate monger. You were my first fast-food stop. I'll find somewhere else. Not that I hate gays, because I love them and pray for them, some are such sweet people (like the gals next door), but to call us Christians hateful for what WE believe in is just WRONG! So bye!! The Lord bless you."
  • "McDonald's, I am sad for you that you believe God & Biblical views are based in hate. God is LOVE, not hate. But at the same time He (and we) can't condone sinful behavior- because it destroys individual and family lives!!"
  • "I think you are totally wrong in supporting and promoting gay rights. Apparently you don't need my business so my family will no longer support your business. TW Sanders family"
  • "How trite to say that anyone who opposes SSM does so because of hate. I strongly oppose because I strongly believe God's word and SSM is in direct contradiction to Biblical teaching."
  • "I used to visit our local McDonald's on a daily basis. Until such time as McDonald's decides to withdrawl their support, I will withdrawl mine. I am passing this on in hope that others will join in."
  • "Please stop supporting the gay agenda. Until you do I will not purchase anything at McDonald's"
  • "My kids are grown and grew up on McDonald's. I now have grandkids who like it, too, but none of my family will be going back to McDonald's now! This isn't a hate issue; it's a moral issue. Too bad your top management can't see that."
  • "My family and I have been fans of McDonald's for many years. My youngest son worked all through high school for the local McD's. He turned 50 this year. What a disappointment in your leadership. I honestly don't understand why you would take a stand that is so blatantly wrong. My family and I will not be frequenting McD's again. I would suggest that you come to your senses and realize that our country is a country based on Christian beliefs. S. A. Brown"
  • "While I do not hate anyone, I do disapprove of a "family-friendly" restaurant promoting a lifestyle choice that threatens to weaken American society as a whole. Up until your support of the gay and lesbian agenda, McDonalds has been the main place my family of five frequents on road trips; it is one of the few fast food chains that has anything our allergic children can safely eat. Now we will have to look harder for food stops and McDonalds will miss out on the revenue from our family and from everyone to whom we spread the news of your close ties to the NGLCC."
  • "Shame on McDonald's I guess they don't care about families that feed their children. My children will not be near McDonald's."
  • "I really have to wonder why McDonald's and other companies have decided to take up the cause for a small group of people who want the population at large to accept their choice of sexual deviancy as normal. Besides being a sin as stated in the bible, it IS a sexual deviancy. It is only harmful to those who indulge in it. There are no offspring produced by it. I don't hate any individual who is caught up in this destructive lifestyle, but I do have a righteous anger over those activists, and supports of activists, whose purpose is to normalize this lifestyle and vilify those who oppose it. Why is McDonald's doing this? Supporting a sexual deviancy. Why not support child molesters? That is a sexual deviancy, too. Or even beastiality? Hey what about a heterosexual pride parade?"
  • "I don't hate anyone, but do support family values: a phrase which has strayed so far from its intended use. No more McDonalds for me or my family/friends."
  • "my family or our friends will not eat at McDonald's anymore nor will our church NC"
  • "We have always gone to McDonald's for treats, dinners,etc. YOu will not have our business anymore. To call people who do not agree with GLAD hate mongers shows a contempt for most of your customers. I urge you to reconsider your stance and remain neutral. If not, I hope you will see a significant drop in your business and wake up."
  • "My opposition of same sex marriage is certainly NOT motivated by hate. I hope the days are long gone where people who have cultural and MORAL differences use hateful or violent tactics. I am however, interested in protecting the family unit...and by family I mean the traditional family of one man and one woman. The majority of your clientel fit that profile."
  • "I am not motivated by hate when I decided to that I would never go to McDonald's again. Instead I am motivated by love. Love for my country, love for my family but most of all love for my creator that plainly teaches that homosexuality is wrong. If I supported it then I would be in denial of what the Bible teaches and would be disobeying my Lord and Savior. He teaches that we should not hate the sinner but that we should hate the sin and not support it in any way. So goodbye MacDonalds and I will be praying for the Lord to open your eyes of understanding and to bring you from darkness to light and from the power of Satin to God and to forgiveness of your sins."
  • "I am just disappointed to know that such an American icon has decided to take sides in this issue. This isn't about not being discriminatory in your hiring practices or employee treatment. This is clearly about supporting an agenda that is not mainstream. I'm truly frightened for my children who are growing up in a world where the differentiation between right and wrong has become so skewed. This is not about hate, this is about standing up for what is right.... and McDonalds, you got it wrong. -a mom from Flower Mound, TX"
  • "I am a mother of four children who love to go to McDonald's. Now when they ask, I have to explain to them that McDonald's has chosen to support something that we don't believe in. To show our disagreement with their choice, we can't go there anymore. Even though I strongly oppose SSM and gay rights, God gave us all the freedom to choose. Why is my right to believe SSM is wrong less important than those who believe it is right? I've never understood that."
  • "I was really surprised that a corporation would take such a hard line stance! I am hardly motivated by hate - I just simply believe that SSM is morally wrong. It doesn't mean that I treat homosexuals with contempt - the opposite is true - the Bible teaches us to love our neighbor, love doesn't mean agreement with behavior! I have plenty of close friends that I disagree with on topics - this being one of them but I surely do not hate them. We actually have honest open discussions about our opposing view points. I will no longer eat at McD's - and darn it because I love the new sweet tea!"
  • "I do NOT support you in this endeavor period! This has been an issue since time began because God mentions this in the Old Testament so it is "nothing new under the sun" but new for McDonald's. McDonald's needs to reconsider their support of the "gay agenda". It isn't about hate for those participating in this lifestyle, it is about God's laws."
  • "Give me a break Mcdonalds. opponents of same sex marraige are not motivated by hate but by a desire to protect the sanctity of the marraige relationship created by God. I can't beleive that your establishment would support this sinful perversion of something so beautful. sorry, but no more happy meals for my bunch and I will pass the word."
  • "Dear McDonald's, I find it ridiculous that you would label those of us that do not support SSM as hate mongers. Well this "hate monger" will not be spending one red penny in any of your stores until you stop promoting social and moral decay through your support of SSM. Furthermore I will be very active in relaying this info to everyone that will listen. I feel it is very irrisponsable of your corporation to side with the social minority on this matter for the sake of "political correctness" and I think you will come to regret it in the long run. What ever happened to bussineses taking the moral high ground and suporting the family culture? SSM leads to the decay of the typical family unit which in turn leads to a decay in morals among other problems. Please stop hurting ouir society and try helping!"
  • "I resent being labeled as a hateful person because I don't like my values thrown in the trash."
  • "I have a family with three small children, it is a special treat to go to McDonald's once a week. It is the right of all people in business to champion whatever causes they choose but they must understand the potential cost of business involved. I would expect that any business that chose to give large sums of money to support missionaries of the Christian church would risk losing business. The same is true of a business that chooses to financially support a group that is lobbying for gay marriage, an issue that voters in this country, in every state that has had it on the ballot, have consistently voted against. This is not a religious issue for all those who vote against Same Sex Marriage. For some it is a decision based on what they believe to be healthiest for society. . ."
  • "Our family of seven will miss the yogurt/fruit parfaits--our favorite drive-by snack!! We hope you will choose to support family values soon. Nancy Gerdes"
  • "Justifing your wrong/immoral stance by saying I'm motivated by hate is 3rd grade name calling. Christians have convictions. Those convictions will save souls - in love. Saving souls is hate motivated?"
  • "HATE, that is an easy word for you to hide behind and promote to the gay community. If you would only listen hate has absoutley nothing to do with it. I may not agree with your agenda but that does not mean HATE. Our Father teaches us to love everyone, we may not necessarily agree with their choices. Therefore, I do not choose to spend my money in a restaurant or any other business that promotes the NGLCC. You have to do what you feel is right but so do your paying customers. When we travel McDonald's has always been our 1st choice to stop, sorry my dollars will go to other restaurants that do no back the NGLCC. Your loss someone elses gain."
  • "Please let me know when I can trust McDonald's again."
  • "See you McDs. My wife and boys will not be back. I like Whata burger better anyway. By the way, the Del Rio, TX McDs flies the Mexican flag higher than our great American flag. Another reason to avoid them like the plague."
  • "I am really tired of others telling me how I should feel about same sex marriage and I resent that you call my opinion hateful. I hate no one, I have strong beliefs and I have every right to those beliefs. No more McDonalds for me."
  • "This has nothing to do with hate and everything to do with executives in a big corporation using funds to drive their own personal initiatives. No more McD's for us."
  • "will not eat at your place of business and I will tell others to boycott you as well"
  • "We have purchased our last happy meal for my family of 6"
  • "I have to ask why McDonalds would put their full support behind a behavior that has been considered deviant since the beginning of recorded history. I fully beleive in equal rights for people of all Race, Gender, Age, Spiritual belief, etc., but to support a deviant lifestyle as a protected class is simply absurd. Would you like to put the same support behind Poligamy? Beastiality? Necrophilia? Pedophilia? Please explain to me how any of the above are different from what you have chosen to support? I do not hate anyone, but there are behaviors that I detest. Please choose carefully what you will support if you would like my business."
  • "It's not about hate. it's just wrong."
  • "Why couldn't you have just simply stayed neutral? I have never hated non straight people. I have actually trained people in the work field. Glad people are sinners just like the rest of us. What is next? Will McD's support open adultry, drunkedness, pronography, etc etc???? When will it stop? Believers know that answer. Unfortunately Glad and McD's do not. It won't be long and all meals will be eaten at home. If there is any hate it appears that McD's is no longer support natural God given families. So I would suggest that when it comes to who hates Glad and McD's should be looking in the mirror."
  • "I am a grandfather of TWO grandsons and I am horrified with the stand of MacDonalds on this matter. What has happened to the FAMILY establishment. You have LOST another customer including my whole family and as many families that I can show how disrespectful your organization is toward families. You will find that we will not sit back and be complacent!!! Ed Virginia"
  • "As a grandparent who has been supporting Mcdonald's nearly since it's inception, I humbly ask you to simply stick to what you do best ~ make fastfood. Please stay out of the culture war & remain neutral in the SSM issue. We cannot support a company that throws its weight on the side of anti-family causes.Kathryn Morgan"
  • "In today's declining moral environment, I find it untlerable that you would support marriage between anything other than a man and a woman. I will not in the future spend any money at any of your chains or allow my family to either. I have to stand up for what I beleive as well which is not hateful but morally correct Tommye Bevich"
  • "I am a pastor and how you can say that our opposition to SSM or the gay movement is out is hate is rediculous. Scripture plainly states that it is a sin! Please rethink your stand. Our kids grew up with McDonald's as did we, but we will not support your business any longer. You are taking a stand against God's Word, will He accept your excuses when you stand before Him? Thank you."
  • "I fully agree that McDonald's and other companies should be socially responsible corporate citizens. With a population that purports to be somewhere around 10% of the general population (Kinsey, 1948), but in fact is less than 5%, (current national surveys indicate 1-3% of males and only about 1.4% of females are homosexuals), McDonald's leadership is not being socially responsible at all, just merely "politically correct". Unfortunately, they are unable to tell the difference because unlike any othe segment of our society, past or present, homosexuals have more money and political clout, as a group, than any other singel segement of our society. To say the least, my portfolio contains no McDonalds stock, and while I have fond memories of taking my wife of 32 years out for her very first Big Mac and countless trips to McDonald's with our children,"
  • "no more McD's for me!"
  • "1 Corinthians 6:9?Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, 10?thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers—none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. Would Mc Donald's support drug users, male prositutes or Thieves? I don't think so. So why are they so behind Homosexuals? My 6 year old grandson likes the happy meals BUT how can I explain this to him? I will just have to make him unhappy and eat someplace else! I really wish McDonalds would reconsider for our Christian families. Pam"
  • "My wife ( female ) and our two children have always enjoyed stopping at a McDonald's. Always clean , and the kids could play. But NOT ANY MORE IF YOU CONSIDER US HATE MONGERS!!!"
  • "I'm getting tired f Mcdonalds Food anyway. I will not eat or let my kids eat at a company that promotes moral decay. Hello Burger King!"
  • "Really sad thing to do, McDonald's. I will find other dining choices for my family of 10 until your company comes to its senses."
  • "I am a father of 4 young children and a youth pastor. As a youth, we couldn't wait for a burger at Mc-D's. My children grew up with a "happy meal and family harmony" feel when we would go to eat at McDonalds. I was very suprised and sorry to hear that This company would go that far out of the way to support this lifestyle. I am also sorry that this company used the same "hate" scapegoat as other companies have. I have known and prayed for and loved many homosexual people that were very close to me. I will be boycotting McDonalds along with many of my family and close friends. Should they choose a "no stance" policy we may return. Blessings to All of you"
  • "McDonald's is already a physical health hazard, and has now become a moral health hazard. How dare you call people hateful for rejecting the unhealthy, immoral practice of sodomy. It will be my pleasure to boycott your corrupt corporation. You're greedy enough to sell out the morals of the country for your profits, but you forgot that your customers include people who actually believe in right and wrong. You struck out."
  • "I will take a stand and support the Boycott against McDonald's as long as they support the NGLCC. I don't HATE gays and lesbians, I love and pray for them. I do however HATE having their agenda flaunted in my face and the face of my grandchildren. I do NOT believe in same sex marriage nor will I contribute to such a cause. If the NGLCC wants to live in such a way that is in abomination to God Almighty, that is between them and God. I will not be a part of it. My $$$$$ will be spent ELSEWHERE."
  • "I wouldn't want my children to believe that your views are not in conflict with religious precepts regarding procreation. You won't be seeing our family anytime soon, ANYMORE!"
  • "My husband and I have six adult children, all of whom have loved McD's all their lives. Our six adult children are married (yes to someone of the opposite sex) and they have given us 15 beautiful grandchildren. None of us will EVER spend one dime at McD's again. Why would we? You accuse us of hatred, simply because we stand up for our Christian values. McD's, you've lost your marbles!!"
  • "My family and I are frequent customers of your establishment. If you feel that I am full of hatred because I disagree with your corporation on Gay Marriage then my family will no longer patronize your stores and I will be sure to pass your views onto my neighbors, friends and family members."
  • "I am sorely disappointed in the choice that McDonalds has made. It was a choice to put the "agenda" of the homosexual community and lifestyle ahead of a neutral viewpoint. To say that people who don't believe a certain way are expressing "hatred" is absolutely horrid. It doesn't matter what side of the fence you are on - each side should be allowed to express their views, and not be called haters because they don't believe a certain lifestyle is right. Don't tell me that I am a "hater", McDonalds - because I will not frequent your establishment ever again. You should have chosen to remain neutral. It's not in the place of your business to be putting up gay posters and items such as that, is it? Then don't support them with your money, that WE helped put in your pocket. So long."
  • "Over the years, I have helped build McDonald's into the company it is today. I have purchased many meals from McDonald's and I even worked for McDonald's while in college. I like the food and I love the fries, but I will be eating at other restaurants until McDonald's does the right thing. McDonald's has made their choice, now I have made mine. I will spend my money elsewhere. Lamar, Lexington, KY"
  • "WOW! McDonald's what happened. You've been somewhat together for many years. You've been our place to go. But do know that every high thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of God will be Cast Down. McDonalds leaders God Loves you much but Be careful of the stand you take, it may cost you."
  • "I believe the Bible. Therefore I guess you consider me a hate monger. I will enjoy BK junior whoppers from now on."
  • "Up until recently I have ate at McDonald's for breakfast 5-7 times a week and lunch or dinner a couple times a week. I will no longer be frequenting this bigoted franchise whose hatred of those things right and moral has shown their true colors. I am also encouraging all my Christain friends and those who don't believe in homosexuality and SSM to boycott them too. If you store goes out of business in our small town here in Missouri, all the better for us."
  • "Dear McDonalds I am so sorry to have to boycott your restuarants. I have loved your fries (and only your fries) for as long as I can remember. Your stand regarding SSM is disappointing. You, like the gov., should remain neutral. There is no provision in the constitution for gov. to act in favor of or against homosexuality. The prudent, fair response should have been to just make the best fries (and everything else) in the world. That in itself is a big task - which, but the way, you do exceedingly well. Unfortunately, until you policies change regarding homosexual marriage, my family and I will no longer enjoy your delicious fries (which I love to dip in your chocolate milkshake), which makes me very sad. Thank you for your time. Debbie Peterson"
  • "Strange that McDonald's view support of homosexual marriage as being "socially responsible." If McD's truly was socially responsible they would be supporting the bedrock of society which is, and always will be, members of the opposite sex in a life-long commitment (marriage)who engender and nurture children to be healthy contributing members of society."
  • "It's not hate - it's lovo of God and his Commandments. Marriage between a man and a woman was created by God. The bible states that homosexulaity is an abonination. Perhaps if you read it, you would understand my viewpoint. I can no longer purchase anything from McDonalds."
  • "I have six children and we will boycotting McDonald's and taking our patronage elswhere."
  • "At first I wasn't alarmed about your corporate support because I thought once you saw that this boycott is not about discrimination, you would come to the realization that the most responsible corporate position is neutrality. Mr. Whitman's "hatred" comment is disconcerting. It demonstrates that the company has bought into the pop culture rhetoric and can't think independently. My family won't be gracing your doors until there is a change of heart. No hatred, just sadness."
  • "My family, friends, and whoever I can talk, call, email, or communicate with will all stop buying your products. Our boycott of the Ford Motor is working. They soon will be doing a chapter 11 bankruptcy. Our boycott worked against Burger King. You are next. Reconsider your stand against family values now. Sincerely, John Thomas"
  • "McDonald's Every Saturday for the past 10 years I've gone to your store for breakfast before going to my second job on Saturday mornings. NOW I will need to find another place to go since YOU are being foolish and I DON'T think you want/need my money to support what I do not support. I am telling all my friends to go someplace else. In our economy right now, you would think you would like to have as many happy customers as possible, but I guess being foolish has it's price. I will miss going to your place, but NOW I will not."
  • "Since when do you support the NGLCC?! Poor Ray Crock (spl?) mu
