Comments on this article:

"Its completely wrong that McDonald's is doing this. And whats worse, if they gave full support to heterosexuals there would be a massive protest by the gay community, what has happened to this country that we favor minorities yet turn the other cheek when something like this happens?" "We will not give our money to a company that uses it to support the homosexual agenda. By supporting their agenda, you are going AGAINST mine. How dare you? Wendy's and Burger King, etc will be getting our families' business from now on." "I'll miss my fix, but McDonald's has no business in this arena and our family will exercise our choice. Pax" "We have been customers of McDonalds for years, supported the Ronald McDonald house. It was always family friendly. NO MORE. How sad." "Last night I took my 6 year old to Wendy's instead of her favorite McDonald's because of the stand on gay issues." "i went to mcdonald's a lot for sweet tea and chicken sandwiches but i will not be back until this support of the gay agenda ends. thank you. rob in IL" "My family and I have not gone to McDonalds for months due to the first instance I heard about this support. We loved McDonald's, but will never go there again as long as it supports these kinds of agendas. I now will redouble my efforts to tell as many people as I know just what McDonald's apparently is about." "You have forced me to change a family tradition of going to Mac's on Mondays. No more. Your choice to hate my lifestyle forces me NOT to support yours." "I absolutely support diversity. However I absolutely oppose you forcing your values on my family. We are officially boycotting McDonalds." "McD's has always been an American Symbol for "Family" value(s). Seeing the golden arches has always reminded us that there still was a place to take the kids (now grandkids) for a quick value meal and some family fun. I can't help but see the golden arches now standing for a political agenda and an organization that now spends time and money to further anti-family values. NO MORE McD's for this family. Find another source for your funds!" "I'll never go to McDonalds again!!!" "Come on McDonald's, stay remain neutral in this culture of homosexualty. It is not hate. Do you not have the Holy Bible somewhere in your offices. I know you do." "I have been going to Mcs since 1970, now never again. Can't they just sell hamburgers?" "We will now eat ANYWHERE ELSE!" "I will never go in a McDonald's again, as long as I live. It's disgraceful. Coach" "Disapproval of a life choice is not synonomous with hate. I resent the word twisting of the homosexual community that equates my disapproval of homosexuality as hating the people that engage in that activity. That doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't make any sense for a corporation to attempt to influence morality when the government nor anyone else is capable of accomplishing that goal. Such endorsement could only be taken as a pushing of an agenda. In the days when TV broadcasting companies attempt to distance themselves from various contributor's opinions, it seems odd to have a huge company like McDonalds go out of their way to not only endorse homosexuality but to encourage it as well. If you - McDonalds - want to allow your employees to participate in moral choices, why would that require you to support the organization of that moral choice. And no, you cannot prove that is not a choice." "I used to be a regular customer, but not any more as long Mcd is supporting this agenda . James" "We believe in God and family (unlike McDonald's), so we will only eat at restaurants who share our values. Sorry, McDonald's, you're off our list." "I am so dissapointed that you choose not to remain neutral in the cultural war and more so that you are so open about your support of the gay & lesbian organization. I have always known you to be a family fast food chain where children enjoy eating. I will no longer patronize McDonald's and will tell everyone I know not to as well. I am so glad AFA has taken action on this issue, remember.. we did it to Ford and we can do it to you. We have other dining choices and I'm sure Whataburger & Jack in the Box are loving our business. We'll be praying for you." "i love mcdonalds but i will not put my money where it wiil breakdown family values. mcdonolds was started for families" "I will no longer buy anything at McDonald's until you choose to support the family." "This is a disappointment to read of McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. I will not be spending any money at McDonald's unless they make a change in their policy of pushing and supporting the homosexual agenda." "My "family" has given McDonald's dollars of business over the last 20 plus years, because of it's family oriented business code, but NO LONGER. We you stoop so low as to give away your customer's hard earned money to give to such a far out and anti-biblical cause I and many others will NO LONGER support you. I will continue to support Chick Fil A and any other of your competitators. Keep up this stance and YOU, MCDONALDS will be OUT of BUSINESS! NO MILLIONS SERVED! Thank you/" "The morning crew at my McDonald's knows me and knows my regular order. But today, my breakfast came from Sonic. I will continue to boycott McDonald's as long as they actively encourage homosexuality. Of course, I don't support discrimination against gays - or anybody else! But none of MY dollars will go to McDonald's for them to use for this agenda!" "I am saddened that McDonalds has chosen to support the homosexual community both financially and philosophically. I and my family will boycott McDonalds until they reverse this pro-homosexual policy and remove their corporate name from the NGLCC. Sincerely-teve oody" "I've eaten at McDonald's for as long as I can remember. I have had my children's birthday parties there, and enjoyed the food and family atmosphere for years. It will be sad to me to think of never darkening your doors again. But, the way I look at it is, this was your choice. You are choosing political correctness over the American Family. So, I will choose other restaurants to feed my family." "I am sorry to hear about your support of the homosexual agenda. I cannot support your business, just as I would not support any business who is pouring patrons' money into any socially harmful activity. Would you support an organization that promoted alcoholism, drug abuse, pedophilia? It is really no different, especially in the harmful effects it has on our society." "I don't eat at McDonald's anyway, but this will ensure that forever. Your drop in business is not due to lack of support for homosexuals, but it is due to poor quality of food. Children still like your food, however, but it is unfortuate that a restaurant which caters to children has such lack of tolerance for traditional family values and is using its influence to fight those values." "My first job way back when, in high school, was at McDonald's. I eventually became a Manager and worked there for a few more years. I had fun then, it was a good experience, a good company to work for...no longer. I have eaten at McDonald's more times per week than I would care to admit. But when I learned of McDonald's support of the gay agenda, that all stopped for me, my wife, and our sons. McDonald's is now a thing of the past. I have switched to Chick-fil-A and Wendy's instead, I don't miss the golden arches at all! Sorry Ray C., look what they have done to the company you founded..." "McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda is misguided and unfortunate. Such a "family" restuarant should seek to support the traditional mores and values, not those of a small but very vocal and agressive lobby. I and my family will no longer patronize your restuarants. We need to follow our conscience. McDonald's should have remained neutral. You underestimate how many folks your political support has offended." "My family and I will no longer spend our time nor our money at McDonald's. We cannot eat another meal there until they change their policy on the gay issue. You are making a mockery of the true meaning of family! Shame!!!" "My family of 5 has always preferred McDonalds over every other restaurant until now. I have also always shared my positive experience being trained for the workforce by McDonalds as it was the first job I had. I am so sad on every level at the stance McDonalds has taken on this issue. It reveals how far they have strayed from their original ideals and that they too are falling prey to the Homosexual agenda of legitimizing this immoral lifestyle and actually celebrating this sick and twisted movement." "First they have a not using American beef anymore agenda and now they are promoting homosexual agenda's...you lost my business on the first agenda and you definitely won't be receiving our support or business concerning the second aganda...this encludes all our family and friends...!!!!" "How can a company who helps ill children and their families through Ronald McDonald House connect their name to and support such an immoral cause? Has anyone from McDonalds seen the pictures from this gay parade? It just boggles the mind!!! I and some friends stopped at McDonald's every Saturday night after Mass to have a bite to eat and a cup of your coffee (which I truly love) but neither my values nor my friends' values will be compromised for a cup of coffee. You have seen the last of us. Your competitors, however, will be seeing us at a minimum every Saturday." "I won't be shopping at McDonald's." "Since hearing of your outright support of the homosexual agenda I will NOT eat at McDonald's again, and I will tell all my friends of this." "May God have mercy on those ignorant of his word. May those who blatantly disobey reap what they sow!! NEVER again will I take my children, grandchildren or anyone I know!!" "My family and I will no longer be patronizing McDonald's." "Shame Shame I will not give my hard earned money to McDonalds." "I am sorry that you you are supporting a cause that will destroy our famileys/ and nation" "I will not eat or order from McDonalds any more" "I am very disappointed that McDonalds is NOT neutral in the CULTURAL issues over homosextuality. I love your tea and hamburgers. I am in the military and travel and eat at McDonals even last weekend. I will now STOP eating there and will share this information with all my family because you only care about a limited group of citizens. THIS IS NOT DIVERSITY THIS IS CLEAR BIAS. I WILL GO TO BURGERKING AND ARBYS 5 for 5.95" "I have a six year old son, how do I explain this to him. Yeah, thats what I thought, I'll keep him out of your restaurant until he's old enough to comprehend the issue, which is about twelve more years." "I LOVE WENDY'S" "My biggest disappointment in McDonalds is the nudity that was seen by those who did not want to see it. Because you seem to have no tactfulness, we refuse to support you after 35years of my life. Sad day in America." "We are no longer bringing our family to McDonalds in protest of their support for a lifestyle we believe is destructive to healthy families." "I am very disappointed in the McDonald's promotion and support of the gay agenda. As a world-wide corporation, and a family restaurant, you are doing all a disservice by not remaining neutral in this cultural issue. I will no longer buy from McDonald's stores." "my family and I and all our friends have already quit going to mcdonalds we will not spend anymore of our money there." "It's one thing not to discriminate against who you hire, but it's another to outright support an organization that is so wrong. Please rethink your position because you are wrongfully supporting a group that is against all that we as humans were intended to be... you are doing more harm to our society than good!" "Sorry, but you've gone too far this time - no more McDonalds for me" "It is not the place of a buisness to promote an alternate lifestyle. This is wrong. Thats why it is called alternative lifestyle. Not the normal" "What's next? Man boy love groups? They claim the same science/medical status...they were born with the DNA that makes them that way. When are you going to make a stand for real family values." "Love your salads,fruit parfaits and wraps, but will now eat at Wendy's instead! Bill" "I am sorry that you feel you have to PROMOTE the homosexual agenda, My husband and I were just riding to our sons college and mentioned that McDonalds is the best place to stop for a quick inexpensive meal. I am sorry to say that we will not be patronizing your restaurants any longer. I feel the traditional family is a very important part of society and I can not support those who oppose it. Sincerely Kathleen Tanzer" "I have always considered McDonalds as a family-oriented establishment. You should seriously reconsidder your commitment to this anti-family agenda and re-commit to the real families that have supported your company for so many years. Sorry, but its Us or Them! Do the right thing and set a good example for all companies. If you stand by your decision, I will actively boycott yoru establishments and be very active in spreading the word among the real families of Florida." "I am ashamed that the most famous fast food restaraunt in the United States has chosen to take this stand. What does this say about America? It certainly does not promote what themajority of America stands for!!! As for being motivated by hate..that is obsurd!!! Family values are just that "Family Values". Family id 1 man 1 woman= a child, without help from an outside source!!!" "I will definitely boycott. Me and my family, including kids, grandkids, cousins, and parents have received message and agree on boycotting. If I figure right based on just my family alone, will keep about $1300 a year from these idiots. Others that follow should equate to less business." "At our recent pastor's continuing ed. sessions, we were in full agreement that we would not eat any meals at McDonald's. They are certainly not family oriented when they support organizations such as this." "The customer is always right! McDonald's should have remained neutral? Don't our values matter. Apologize to your customers." "I am a grandmother who has occasionally taken those precious grandchildren to McDonald's because they enjoyed it despite my misgivings about the quality of food they would ingest. It is obvious that food is a minor concern compared to the depravity that supporting gay pride exhibits. One can only speculate as to motives other than the obvious one of money. Such a business has far to go to regain any support from this grandmother!" "No more big macs for me and my family. From now on I will spend my money at Chick Fil-A and other places that represent the values I hold dear. Shame on you McDonalds!" "McDonalds taste for supporting the gay agenda has ruined my taste for their food. I will not patronize their establishment until they cease their support of the gay agenda." "McD is not a place for me and my children" "it is a cheap place to eat, but my soul is more important to me than eating cheap!! bye mickey D's..." "We are disgusted by McDonald's actions concerning homosexuality. Our family will no longer have anything to do with McDonald's. McDonald's is no longer a family resturant!" "im not lovin it mcdonalds you will not get anymore of my money" "Dear McDonald's Corporation, I will no longer buy anything from McDonald's restaurants. I am notifying my family, friends and associates of your decision to embrace this perverse lifestyle and contribute to the demise of our culture" "I do not intend to eat at MacDonalds again until they change their view and I will tell all my friends and family to do the same." "We will no longer visit McDonalds until you stop your militant pro gay activity." "We enjoy eating an easy meal at McDonalds but now that you are openly supporting the sinful gay lifestyle and boldly say you are acting correctly has made it impossible for me and my family to STOP eating at McDonalds. Please reconsider your foolish stand. From just my family you are losing $300 or more dollars a year." "For years our family has supported your establishment. No more! You have made a colossal Mc-stake in thinking that the very people who have caused you to thrive will continue to line your pockets so that you can give money that will cause a further break down of the values that I believe our nation was founded on. Go left and go without our support. You have lost much in this decision--particularly our respect.Bad call--" "My moral compass will be pointing to another place to find a burger." "Thank you AFA for this website! I am so glad to see there are people still left in America who actually care about family values besides myself. I am sick and tired of a small group of people pushing there personal agendas on the rest of the American public because they think they have the correct definition of right and wrong in there minds and hearts, when they couldn't be further from the truth. They like to hide behind and promote the word "Hate" along with their agenda so they can buffalo others into believing their trully destructive lifestyle is ok will not "affect" you or anyone else. There is a serious attack against real familiy values, or at least what they used to be. I will no longer bring my business to Mcdonald's, or any other business owned by Mcdonald's, like Boston Market. Sorry Mcdonald's, Im not "Lovin' it" anymore." "Was it back in 1959 that you first came to MA? I think so. Well you have GONE a long way baby away from the family fun restaurant you use to be. Sorry you have deceided to take such a road, and have lost your way. No more will we be entering your door." "Sad to say I worked for McDonalds But thand God I don't anymore And neither will my family members we will no longer spend any money at any of these establishments. We can eat hamburgers and fries at home." "We found out what McDonald's was doing when we were pulling into your parking lot to eat. We turned around and went across the street to Jack's. We are a family of seven with five chidren. When we explained to the kids what you are supporting, same sex marriage and the homosexual lobby agenda, THEY DID NOT WANT TO EAT AT YOUR RESTAURANT. With five children, McDonald's truly was our restraunt of choice before. NOW, MCDONALDS NO LONGER REGISTERS ON OUR RESTRAUNT RADAR. We do not hate ANYONE, but as Christians, we do not agree with homosexual lifetyles/agenda, and we will no longer spend any money with your establishement since you are CHOOSING to support and promote it. We really will pray for your company leadership. They are sadly misled. A FEW POINTS TO PONDER: 1)We are no longer your customers. 2) Our children are no longer your customers. 3)Many of our friends are no longer your customers. 4)When we pass McDonald's now, the parking lots seem emptier than before." "This is not how my parents raised me. This goes against all my values. I still remember growing up in Bradenton,Florida and how the Shake Pit Restaurant on Manatee Ave. still stands after Burger Chef & McDonalds opened across the street and we all stayed loyal to Shake Pit because of the family values they have & the way they treated us. Like Family. I now live in Redington Beach and will never step foot in a McDonald's again unless they think about our Christian values. My Father served in World War 2 along with his 3 brothers and these were not the values of our service men or our forfathers. McDonald's is a money hungry disgrace. Please reconsider what message you are sending out to all your customer's." "Think on this McDonald's...It looks like you Want to share your money with other fast foods by sending your many families else where by giving out a bad tasting choice in choosing to support sin. well this FAMILY has just done that! That is our choice! the truth will set you free!" "Promoting gay rights is not what I go to McDonalds for. If individuals want to support this or other causes, they can do so on their own time and on their own dime. I'm for non-discrimination in the workplace and and in society, but do not want a corporation to endorse the agenda of anybody or any group." ""Please reconsider! Our family of five has enjoyed your food for years but can not continue to do so knowing that our money is going towards your new cause and the breakdown of families. We urge you to continue being a place where traditionally wed families feel comfortable."" "I won't be eating there anymore, plain and simple." "I have eaten at McDonald's on a regular basis in the past, but I will not be eating at any McDonald's restuarant based upon your outspoken support of the homosexual agenda. Thank God for Truett Cathey &Chic-Fil-A!" "me and my family will never eat at mcdonalds again unless policy changes" "McDonald's is overrated anyways. Most food is bad-tasting and bad for you. Try Subway for a healthier option! Subway-Eat fresh, not subpar garbage that has been sitting under a heat lamp." "I have enjoyed McDonald's menu offering lower fat meals and it's close to where I work. Unfortunately, I can't give my dollars to a company who aggressively supports the homesexual agenda. McDonald's used to stand for a family atmosphere. The gay pride march was anything but family oriented. You have the best fries in town but you'll have to keep them as I choose to eat elsewhere." "i will not eat at mcdonald nor take my 6 grandchildren carlean" "Even though it has been hard for us, our family of 10 has stopped eating at McDonalds since we found out you are pushing anti-family values. We plan to continue our boycott until McDonalds stops pushing the homosexual lifestyle. We don't hate anyone, but we certainly don't like your arrogant attitude. Now we are trying new restaurants that we had never considered before." "I have just gotten to where I enjoy mcdonald's food. I love some of the newer menu items where there was a time when mcd's was the last place I'd go. needless to say i'm disappointed that mcdonalds has chosen an anti-family path. The company may not see it that way, but supporting the gay agenda is supporting anti-family values. I'm sorry to say my family will not be eating at mcdonalds anymore until we see a change of heart." "Our church, of several thousand, no longer offers McDonald's breakfast in its cafe. I no longer purchase product at any of your restaurants. I hope that others who do not agree with your agenda will take a stand for what they believe." "Why do corporations/companies feel the need to support immorality (what ever the issue is)? Any stand for God or anything related to God is now considered old fashioned and anything but right. I am taking a stand and teaching my child that the Bible is right and I am putting a stop to supporting an organization that doesnt care if they keep my business!!!" "Starting today, August 19th, My family and I will no longer be eating at McDonald's because of their uncalled for support of homosexual activism." "McDonald's has always been thought of as a child friendly place. My family and I will not eat another McDonalds meal because of their lack of common sense and good judgement to the family and it's structure. Good Bye and good ridence." "The bottomline is that I will not spend my money on a company that turns it around and spend it on unethical behavior. What's next?" "I'm so disappointed in the refusal of McDonald's to remain neutral on the homosexual agenda. My family has not eaten at McDonald's for the last month, though we had ample opportunity to do so on our travels. Instead, we chose places who do what they are supposed to do: serve food and stay neutral on these issues." "To McDonalds Coop. Sorry to hear about your support of the Gay and Lesbian goals. There will be no more visits to your stores from my family and friends." "Mc Donald's fail to realize our free society requires idealism and virtue. Buggery equals decadence. I neither enhances nor ennobles our society" "Yesturday,I purposedly avoided going to McDonalds for dinner. They can count me out as a customer from now on." "WELL< WELL< those who have profited the most from families are biting the hand that feeds them... why would mcdonalds not remain nuetral on this issue? why is live and let live one-sided? what does a happy meal have to do with what you do morally? YOU TELL ME>>> if you don't know, maybe you betterr start asking yourself some questions." "I am disappointed on your supporting the Gay agenda. I will boycott McDonalds until you respect family values." "I don't hate gays, I feel very sorry for them. If your funding is to help reabilitate them so they can lead a normal life, then I support it. If not, then I've made my final stop at McDonalds." "Because of your continued support of The GAY ACTIVIST agenda, and being on their board of Directors, I WILL NO LONGER be a customer of ANY of your restaurents. And with 4 children... I WAS a pretty active customer." "I never plan on eating at McDonald's for the rest of my life now." "My family will no longer patronize McDonald's. We are disappointed in your blatantly political stance on Prop 8, and will spend our money elsewhere." "I'm sorry to hear you feel the homosexuals are better than the rest of us. I won't be buying you products in the future." "It appears that McDonald's is no longer safe for our children, since they have joined the race to support this agenda. McDonald's is no longer "My McDonald's" as their slogan indicates. I will be praying for McDonald's and for the GBLT community that they will not endure anymore humiliation or persecution from this and will choose to remain neutral and choose morality over indecency. My family and I do not spend our money at McDonalds, but I can honestly say that I have not gotten the word out like I need to. I will be spreading the word in my community now though...it's obvious that they have no intention of reversing their decision. I should be informing Wal-Mart customers as well." "I think the heads of McD's Corp. can be more rescourceful that this. My family will no longer give you any of our money. That is a lot of responsibility to be head of where money is spent. There are lots of other areas you could really be of help. Please reconsider where you put your support!" "I use to love eating breakfast at McDonald's, but not any more!! They need to either stop the promotion or change the golden arches to pink ones." "I have always thought that the McDonald's restaurants were for the betterment of American People and for family values. I am disappointed greatly, and with much heartache please know that I refuse to enter your restaurant and will encourage others to do so until you reconsider. I do not support the flagrant lawlessness and perversion in the gay/lesbian movement and will not support anyone that does." "We have been and will continue to boycott McDonald's until you become neutral in your support of the gay and lesbian agenda." "Wendy's and Chick fil-A now has all our business. Your agenda is totally offensive, and you can be sure I will spread the word to everyone I know to boycott McDonald's." "I just found out about this, and I am requesting you stay nuetral. I am a national speaker, and I will be asking everyone I know to boycott, forever if needed, McDonalds until is chooses to remain nuetral again. It is my favorite fastfood, but have no problem going to Burger King or Wendy's (have already started). I hope you reconsider. Thanks for listening." "We are heartsick that McDonalds is bowing to the pressure of the gay agenda - you're supposedly a "family" friendly establishment. Well, not anymore. You are now a "past" restaurant for us - there are so many others we will now get our meals from. Your breakfasts were great, too. Well, not anymore! We sure pray that there are thousands out there who feel the same way as we and so many others feel about your new stand with the gay movement. We will tell all we come in contact with. -MI" "I am so utterly disappointed in McDonald's. Advertised as a "pro-family" restaraunt, has chosen to walk down a sad path. I am not for discriminating against anyone, but when I see pictures of what McDonald's supports--it sickens me! I will never spend one more penny at this place of business. There are many more deserving places to choose from. This is so sad!" "I am very sad to learn about the promotion of homosexuality by McDonald's. Our family will not be making our weekly or bi-weekly visit to play and enjoy a McDonald's meal." "So disappointed to find out about McDonald's support of the gay agenda. My family will be staying FAR away from McDonald's !!!!!" "Since you as a company have chosen to be pro-active in promoting gay and lesbian lifestyle in contrast to promoting Biblical lifestyle, I and my family and my friends will be choosing to eat at McDonald's again. It is not about "hate" (as you put it) of these people. It is about your desire to impose it on our country (80% whom claim to be Christian). It is a matter of "distaste" for you position and now your burgers. Richard Wheeler" "I can't support a company that fights against moral principles that I esteem as critical. We will no longer eat at McDs." "I cannot believe that McDonald's is supporting the gay agenda. I will boycott McDonald's and am very disappointed in their decision." "How could you say you are a family rest. I use to take my Grandchildren there before going to church. Not anymore,we will visit Burger King. Or Chick Filet. Thanks L/Dadin" "The McDonalds Stores used to be a cool place to take the children. Now your company has decided to comply with those of the homosexual movement. I will not be taking my family to any of your stores at all ever. What you people are doing is wrong and immoral. I feel sorry for the children who see what kind of people you have turned out to be. And I sure hope that through this boycott your profits tumble. I sure hope you lose more custtomers as you have now lost my family as customers." "Father of three, pastor of a thriving local family oriented church, business owner, president of local ministerial association, active chamber of commerce member, and FORMER patron of McDonalds. Happy Meals are a favorite of my children, Big Macs are my wifes favorite meal however we will find other places to enjoy our family meal time together. I will also encourage all those within my circle of influence to do the same. Its sad to see a company like McDonalds make such poor decisions and force anti family and anti christian agendas on your faithful customers. We will be Eating elsewhere till you publically change your association with the NGLCC..." ""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."" "It is out of love, not hate, that I boycot McDonalds decision to support the gay agenda. I love my family of 6 which no longer utilizes your company services. I love my God who tells us that the life style you promote is unhealthy for those who pracitce it and for the society that embraces it. I love the family and the tradition of one man and one women joined by God and with God to accept life and build a strong family and healthy society. Although we enjoyed McDonalds french fries and McFlurries and playlands, we, out of love will no longer attend until the restaurant that was built on "family" goes back to its roots and supports those who made it what it is today. My God guide you to do what is right in His eyes and not the eyes that have blinded you to true hope and love." "My family is amazed & VERY disappointed that FORMERLY family-oriented, family-friendly McDonald's, has actively chosen to support the activist homosexual agenda. No more McDonald's for us!!" "I think Mcdonalds needs to stick to making burgers and stay out of the Gay Rights movement. This movement is undermining family values and goes against what the Bible says is to be a union of a MAN and a WOMAN. Please do not take this comment as an assult on Homosexuals, as it is not. I am not speaking out of hate and this is not a personal attack on those who believe their homosexual lifestyles are normal.I am simply stating my beliefs. If I am forced to hear their beliefs why then when I speak my side am I considered a hateful person." "FOr years I have been good to start my day with McDonald's coffee, etc.. and who knows what on the weekends. I have stopped cold turkey, and will remain so as long as McDonald's actively promotes the homosexual agenda." "I'm going to miss the bacon,egg and cheese biscut, but I cannot support a company that does this." "I am extremely disappointed that corporations can no longer simply conduct business and stay out of political agendas. I am a Christian and do NOT hate homosexuals - only what they stand for. God loves them in spite of the lifestyle choices they have made, and that is what I try to do as well. However, I DO have the choice as to whether or not my money is spent in a business that openly supports something that I am completely against. We're being told to keep our opinions to ourselves - why can't McDonald's do the same thing ???" "I have a few friends who are homosexuals. I love them dearly but I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle. It is unnatural and I do not want my grandchildren to grow up "learning" about the "alternative" lifestyle. I disagree with you, McDonald's, and I will not support you any longer." "I'm so disappointed in McDonald's!" "I will not be stopping at McDonald when you are supporting an agenda that stands for everything that is against my moral values. I don't hate anyone but can't endorse the homosexual life style." "I understand equality in the workplace, but promoting and sponsoring a parade that is obviously contrary to this country's moral values (not to mention X-rated) and believing that this is what equality is about has cost McDonald's my business. This is supposed to be a "FAMILY" restaurant!!!" "I oppose same sex marriage. I also oppose McDonald's support of the gay and lesbian community and the promotion of their lifestyle. I believe, however, that everyone should be treated fairly. McDonald's position on this issure will definitely affect my decision to patronize their establishments." "McDonald's is an American favorite. But so are family values. Our country was built on Christian teachings. Christianity doesn't teach hatred of people, but it teaches hatred of sin. We are to be set apart - holy. I used to feel sorry for people who chose to ignore God's commands and the teraching of Jesus. I don't anymore because these people are making informed choices. They choose their lifestyle. Think about it: would God call it a sin and then tempt His creation to commit the wrong?" "I have no problem with you hiring, serving, etc of gays...I have a problem with your prejudice against those of us who are not gay. You should be equal. Do you put funds into the promotion of "normal" sexual relationships????" "Not only my immediate family, but extended family as well will not eat at another McDonald's until the corporation decides to remain neutral on issues of the homosexual agenda. Your corporation has lost our respect and we will not step foot in McDonald's until you change your stance on the above issues. We do not hate anyone, and this is not about who you hire, who eats at your establisments etc., this is simply about your endorsement of the spreading of the homosexual agenda through your $$$." "I'm boycotting until McD goes neutral. I don't hate anyone." "Our family of five would like McDonald's to reconsider being involved in supporting a group that is not for promoting families. Remember who it was that helped you become what you are today--the American FAMILY. Please choose to remove your membership in the NGLCC and remain neutral on the subject of homosexuality." "This is to let you know how much we will miss McDonalds food, but we will not be purchasing anymore until you stop your support of the gay agenda. We will also be encouraging our friends to stop eating there as well." "I have not eaten at a McDonald's since I was made aware of them supporting the homosexual agenda." "The pro "gay" agenda McDonald's has taken is an anti family stance that is destructive to the moral integrity of our nation. Individuals do have the right to choose their lifestyle and everyone, regardless of their choice is to be treated with respect. But history and research reveal the social (and personal) destruction that occurs as a result of choosing homosexuality (and other sexual immorality) as a "valid alternative lifestyle". I cannot suupport you in your choice against our people and nation." "My son just had his last Happy Meal!" "I am so disappointed in McDonalds. so much for family values. No more eating there. I will be contacting the local McDonald's. What a waste of $20,000, when their are so many worthy causes." "If McDonalds think I hate homosexuals because I oppose this lifestyle, they don't have any understanding what they are doing. If homosexuality was so wonderful, why is there so much death and disease spread within the gay community? Why is the average life expentancy of peoplep who choose the gay lifestyle 20 years less than heterosexual lifestyles? One has to ask the question...Why do you support the pre-mature death of gay and lesbians? If you truely care for the welfare of someone, you would not allow them to lead destructive lives." "McDonalds has made most of their profit on the back of heterosexual families. McDonalds shouldn't turn their back to the segment of the population that made them and are the only segment that can sustain them." "My family & I spend $20.00-25.00 every week in your restaurant. Not anymore. Shame on you!" "Please remain neutral in the cultural war and not take sides against others. You are a food establishment." "This is very disappointing and not about hate. I will also be boycotting your restaurants, each one in Tucson, AZ and all in between to Las Vegas that I used to visit. When was the last time your "focus on diversity" team donated $20,000 or even close to it to an organization like the American Family Association or any that support the family values? Who is motivated by hate as you are supporting an agenda geared to destroy the traditional family?" ""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." "I have signed this Boycott because of the actions of your company. Your support of the Gay Agenda is disappointing." The above quotes say it all for me. Neither I or my family will ever spend our money at McDonalds again." "I haven't gone to a McDonald's since I discovered what their agenda is. I notified friends and family of this and sent info to the cable news stations regarding their bias against families with moms and dads." "You've crossed the line in destroying family values! We and our grandchildren do not eat at your joints any more! Hope you go out of business!" "What's that sound...it's McDonald's stock price falling from parents taking there kids to Wendy's and BurgerKing." "I am so happy to see people standing up for what's right and not supporting something so wrong. My children and I have eaten at Mcdonalds for 36 yrs. Not anymore, and I will tell everyone I know about this. Hollywood and Corporations can have their opinions, but should keep them to themselves and not use our money to support their agendas." "My family has enjoyed your fun restarant for years, but we will no longer give our money to a company that supports the gay agenda. It is a destructive lifestyle, and I won't be part of supporting that. Please reconsider." "I disagree with your position on homosexuality and will no longer take my six grandkids to any of the McDonald stores." "Burger King and chick Fil-a all the way!! No more McDonalds for me and my family." "No more cold limp fries, not so clean resturant and Spanish speaking non- English employees for us. So dad to see our America down the toilet. Married 38 years to a man and have a wonderful MARRIAGE and yes we are BREEDERS, isn't that what the queers call us traditionals that are a family. Funny how they want to adopt a breeders child. Poor choice McDonalds." "I would like to encourage you to put the money you are spending on the gay pride movement toward AIDS research. THIS benefits everyone." "I have always taken my grandchildren to Mc I have always taken my grandchildren to McDonalds,but I will incourage them to eat somewhere else until you change your position on gays." "I can't believe McDonalds is choosing to destroy their image of being a family/kids restaurant! Have the powers that be lost their minds???" "hello, this is an unfortunate & harmful lifestyle to those in it. We hope they will be able to get out of it, and feel that McD. heads in the opposite direction. We'll be eating elsewhere and hope McD will reconsider." "We don't love anything at McDonald,s enough to support you or compromise us for this. Our family is trying to teach our children right from wrong, and to love the Lord and do his will. Sorry but you are not who we want in our lives or for any example. No more Mac's , or anything from there for us. It's not good to know you anymore." "Thank you for making your hidden adgenda public. Now that we know for sure who you are we will be going elsewhere for refreshment." "I hope that you will reconsider your position and remain neutral on the position of gay rights. Our family of 7 will now drive a little futher up the road to Wendy's as long as McDonalds supports Gay Rights" "My family of 5 used to eat at your restaurant every Wed. after church. Not any more. We will not spend any money there nor support any agenda of yours." "I will never step foot in McDonalds again!! You are supposed to support family values, this is a poor example of that!" "My family began boycotting McDonald's as soon as the first attention was brought to their support of the Gay/Lesbian agenda. We will continue to boycott McDonald's until at least a year goes by after they stop supporting the Gay/Lesbian agenda." "McDonald's has a right to spend their money any way they want - and so do I. McDonald's has received their last dollar from me. I hope that their loving it! The food is as healthy, as this decision. It brought them short turn gain for long term pain - they will have to raise prices to maintain stockholder value - good luck!" ""Our family used to eat at McDonald's about 2 or 3 times a week. I love the convenience of McDonald's, but I love my God more. My children asked why can't we go to McDonald's anymore mom? I said, because they are choosing to support people that are gay and we want to do what is right by God. It is important to take a stand. They said, Oh. Now my four children tell there friends and my husband and I haven't stopped telling our friends. We bring it up whenever we get the chance. As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of bringing it before our elders at our church. We have about 425 families at our church. School starts next week. I will make it my mission to tell as many families as I possibly can to boycott McDonalds. I bet we could spread the word pretty fast." "Dear McDonald's: So long. Dear Burger King: Hi!" "If you want to support the gays and lesbians then I won't purchase any more food from you. You could have remained neutral, but you didn't. So I have to uphold my morals and stand against you. It was a good friendship while it lasted. Maybe we can be friends again if and when you change your position on gays and lesbians." "I'm glad that I have'nt been a supporter of McD's and I will continue to remain a non-supporter!" "McDonald's supporting the gay agenda? What a disappointment for a so-called family restaurant. Not only is your fast food dangerous for our bodies, now your company shows it is dangerous for our souls. My family will not be spending any more money or time in your restaurants. I will be alerting my extended family and friends of McDonald's support of gay activities." "No more Big Mac's for me and my family" "McDonald's, I have been a supporter for many years. I pray you will take an active stand and change your outward support of NGLCC. I'm not a hater of any race of gender of person but you could make a stand for so many other issues in the world. Your restaurant has feed many individuals as well as families please do not change this and make McDonald's #100 instead of #1. Please reconsider your actions. Your organization is in my prayers but I must refrain from eating at your restaurant." "It is a sad day when a big corporation such as yours sponsers something so against the family. I will not go to a McDonald's again, or my family. SAD, when McDonald's House and the good you do." "I don't plan to patronize McDonald's, which I have thought an integral part of American fabric." "So long McDonald's. My money is now going to Whataburger or Jack in the Box instead!!!!" "After your decision to support an extremist homosexual agenda, I have decided that I will not be visiting McDonald's restaurants anymore. I'd rather spend my money at a location that is truly family-friendly." "McDonalds was founded on family values, which led to its success. By entering the political arena will cause its demise. I never really cared for mcdonalds anyway. Ray would be ashamed!" "We will not be supporting McDonald's with our patronage due to Mr. Whitman's spreading the hatred of moral values and the undermining of the American family and culture." "Because McDonalds is a large corporation with stores and influence world wide, perhaps it thinks Christians will not be a threat. But when you consider that Rome once dominated the world and was destroyed by its own corruption, McDonalds can surely suffer the same fate. Arrogance and pride says such foolish things like, "Even God couldn't sink this ship." Well, perhaps this is the beginning of the end for McDonalds." "Yes, stick to the fast food business and stop trying to force your personal agenda. I won't be eating McDonald's anymore. More Starbucks!" "Dear McDonalds, I have been a patron of yours for years. However, your support of the homosexual agenda has forced me to patronize other fast-food establishments. I will be shopping at Wendy's, Spangle's, Subway, etc. Just in the last week I have spent over $40.00 for lunch for myself and my employees -- we are learning that these other choices are excellent. We will not be patronizing McDonald's until they stop supporting the homosexual agenda. You may call our actions "hate", we call them "choice"." "If it wasn't for AFA I and my family would still be in the dark about McDonald's supporting the Gay Pride parade. I will definitely be supporting Chick fil-a more." "i was just starting to enjoy the many "healthier" options mcdonalds has to offer, but i will not be going there again if they continue to support the same- sex marriage agenda." "Shame on you" "Because of your choice to support the gay agenda, instead of the family created and ordained by God,we will no longer frequent your establishment." "This is unacceptable. I usually avoid getting on various protesting bandwagons, but this is nonsense. You can believe what you want, but when you begin openly and actively supporting activities and ideas and practices that are firmly against Biblical values, I have to draw the line. If you decided to actively and openly support abortions, I’d feel the same way. Actively support incest or polygamy or any multitude of other practices – same thing. The line has been drawn – my money will no longer be spent at McDonald’s." "i'm very sorry to hear about mcdonald's comments. we eat often at mcdonald's and will miss it. but some things are more important than where we're going to eat!" "No McDonalds at our house. Wendy's and Burger King will serve us fine. Thanks, but no thanks." "My family has stopped eating at McDonalds until they stop pushing their agenda." "I am extremely disappointed in the ant-family stand that McDonald's is taking in regards to the homosexual agenda. I will no longer choose McDonald's. McDonald's is not a family restaurant!!" "I hope this is not true. Until I hear it's a mistake, I won't be supporting McDonald's anymore. Too many other places to eat. I don't like what I've read. Too bad McDonald's couldn't stay neutral." "I will not be spending my $ at McDonald's until you stop this aggressive support of the gay and lesbian agenda. I am also disappointed that you chose to hang posters in support of the Mexican soccer for the Olympics in your USA stores. I will be driving a mile more to Sonic for my fast food service. I am sick and tired of American Corporations that belittle and devalue American values. I will not support anything or anyone that engages in any anti-American or anti-family practices." "Please remain neutral in the area of sexual preference. It is morality issue that deeply affects families and should not be advertised or debated in the commercial world. We will not be eating at or supporting McDonalds until they show respect for both views on this subject by remaining neutral. J.Graham" "U got my attention. I will not be going to or supporting Mcdonalds again . Too many other choices out there than to go to a place that actively supports the gay and lesbian movement." "I'm very disappointed in the McDonald's corporation. I eat at the Inman chain McDonalds at least 2-3 time per week. Due to your recent decision in supporting the NGLCC, I will no longer be eating at McDonalds. We will pray for your reconsideration in this matter." "you have lost another customer. Why can't you just sell hambergers and leave the other now related issues alone?" "I don't understand why a restaurant wants to be political on a moral agenda which has nothing to do with anything. Your support is lacking in understanding regarding the opposition. To call it hate shows lack of understanding and is just plain hateful itself. You should stick to hamburgers and stay out of the political and moral issues of the country!! I won't eat at McDonalds anymore." "I deliberately avoid eating at McDonalds, and will continue to do so until they stop supporting the gay/lesbian agenda. I have a coupon for a $1 iced coffee. Sorry, won't be used. In the trash it goes. The mere thought of a portion of my money, no matter how small, goes towards this immoral group makes me lose my appetite. Frankly, I am appalled they are continuing to ignore the truth of their disgusting actions... This is a place for families and their children! McDonalds, if you dare say I am motivated by hate, think again. I am motivated by God's law. You will not get a cent from me until you stop this nonsense and remain neutral! This new information is appalling! I love the fries, but I will live without! You do a lot of good things, McDonalds, this is a real shame you are tarnishing yourself! I look forward to the day I can buy a combo again, large fries!!" "Members of this church will support the boycott until a change in policy is made!" "Well America is really going down the tube with one of Americ'a top fast food(especially for children) is now sponsoring a group that will surely be the downfall of Americna Families. Don't you car? Open your eyes and see what is happening to the families of America. How can you support such a thing, can't you find something worthwhie to sponsor?" "I am sure gonna miss your double cheeseburgers. Do you have any idea how many customers you will lose by going forward with this? If it doesn't bother you that it is morally wrong (which it is) you should think about how it will affect your bottom line in this economy!" "Since McDonalds does not support or endorse heterosexuals, then I guess I can't eat there anymore. I refuse to support a company that does not appreciate and respect ALL of their customers equally." "I am joining the boycott, not out of hate, but out of love for those who are victims of this. Those poor people have lost sight of their human dignity,and are being fed a lie.They are good people, believing a falsehood. This lifestyle only increases the chance they will die of a terrible disease. I've watched somone die this way and it is not pretty. Advancing this lifestyle should be a hatecrime!" "I remember as a child going to the local McDonalds and what a fun time we had. I took my children there as well. I will not take my grandchildren. My daughters absolutely refuse to go there anymore. You have lost three generations of one family because of your stand on homosexuality. Goodbye!" "Sorry Ronald... No more of our family funds going to your resturant. Just like I did not purchase a Ford this last time. When will American Corporations realize they do not need to get involved in politics or attempting to solve or set course for our nations policies. You make hamburgers... stick to what you do best please. Let the Political Action Commities fight it out please." "I'll never enter another MacDonald's restaurant" "I will not financially support any institution that involves itself with homosexual activites. My family will move ALL of it's business to another restaurant. You are committing financial suicide!" "It used to be a treat to take my 91-year old mother to McDonald's on our day out, but I can no longer do that and support your tactics. Taco Bell, here we come!" "I worked as an employee of my local McDonalds to put myself through NUrsing School. At that time it was a great place to work. However after hearing about their support of something that goes so totally against my values and upbringing, I will no longer frequent their establishment and will encourage my friends and family to avoid them as well." "we will never buy from mcdonalds again.As a popular eating place for families you should have known better than to support gay rights.dont we have enough problems in this world with out this. the lovell family" "Sad that you feel you can't just serve food, you must also serve us your opinions. My children will now be playing at Burger King!" "While growing up as a kid, my parents would take us to Mc Donalds. This was a special treat for me and my younger siblings. Now that I have two of my own, my husband and I used to take our kids as a treat. Because of McDonalds choices in discouraging family values, we choose to no longer stand on the sidelines but to defend our rights and the rights of our kids as a family. NO MORE MCDONALDS for US!!" "We want everyone to be treated equally and fairly when they walk into your restaurant and when they are working at your restaurant. But for McDonald's to actively support and endorse homosexuality as a viable, healthy lifestyle that deserves acceptance by society-at-large is ridiculous and dangerous. It is irresponsible. Homosexual behavior is an unhealthy lifestyle choice that has nothing to do with an immutable characteristic such as gender or race. It is ignorant to argue that sleeping with someone is the same as being born a woman or black. I do not want this ignorance imposed on those who are making minimum wage at your restaurants (usually with no offers of health insurance) and so we will not be eating at your restaurant." "I have eaten at McDonalds all my life, but never again as long as McDonalds supports the gay and lesbian agenda." "McDonald's has lost touch with what made them great. The cost is loss of credibility and my business. Ultimately, McDonald's will fail because of this thoughtless compromise." "In light of recent corporate decisions to actively promote and encourage the gay lifestyle agenda I have no other alternative to but to discontinue my patronage of your restaurants. My decision is not based on any personal feelings against homosexuals. I fully agree that they be aforded the same rights as anyone else and should be treated fairly and respectfully in the workplace and society. I have had many homosexual coworkers and have always treated them with honor and respect regardless of my personal views. In fact I have been more understanding to them than individuals who claim to be more tolerant. However I do not condone my hard earned dollars to be used to promote and further the cause of a radical pro-homosexual agenda while actively rejecting values that sustain traditional families. I fully support your right to use your corporate resources in any manor you see fit but understand that all decisions have consequences." "My husband and I always enjoyed McDonalds salads and bought them frequently. No more, we have found other places that serve good salads...we do not need McDonalds and will no longer patronize them. We are also spreading the word to our families and friends." "I will NOT go to McDonald's anymore!! Everybody go to Burger King!! It's better!" "We went on an extended vacation this summer. In past years, we always chose McDonald's over other fast-food restaurants. This year, we chose the other fast-food restaurants over McDonald's. If dollar-wise, McDonald's lost money. We will continue to boycott McDonald's as long as they choose not to remain neutral in the cultural debate." "McDonald's management: I don't care if homosexuals work there, eat there, but I do object to your company supporting them outside the workplace. I have many coupons and 2 for 1's that I will not use. Please be aware that I am not a right wing evangelical, but an ordinary American who does not support your actions, thus will boycott your business. I will be passing this on to many family and friends who feel the same way!" "I am amazed a company as large as McDonalds could ignore so many customers. Too bad they can't stay neutral. I will miss you Big Mac!" "McDonalds, I will not be eating at your restaurant any longer. Who do you think made you rich. FAMILIES! That's who. Families of America. It wasn't a hard choice to make at all. And it won't be a hard choice for me to make either." "I have noticed most of your ex-customers say when you reverse your stance on this very wrong Issue they will return, as for me and my family we will not give you the opportunity to change your thinking based on your loss of dollars and cents you have spoken your true thoughts and we know how you feel about this very wrong subject. If people join and support this boycot it will not be long before we see McDonalds equipment sales going on all over this great country, stand up people lets take our country back." "My family eats at McDonalds every week, sometimes more than once, especially because we have a 4 year old son who loves going to McDonalds. However, I will not give you another penney now that I know where you stand with homosexuals. I worked for McDonalds a few years ago and was eventually promoted to crew chief, I loved my job but now I don't look back on it as fondly and will think twice before urging someone to considered working for a company who has such low standards." "Since when do you have to support immorality to make money! And if not for money, why do you support immorality period?" "Since McDonalds has chosen to openly support the Gay and Lesbian lifestyle and agenda, I have chosen to never spend another dime eating in your restaurant. I have five children, so you have just lost another seven potentially lifelong customers by your endorsment of the gay agenda which I do not want my children to be exposed too." "I am disappointed that McDonald"s would support the homosexual agenda. McDonald's has long been a family friendly place to take children to eat and play. I will boycott all McDonald restaurants and I will tell all of my friends and family they should do the same.It is time that we take a stand against organizations who choose to destroy the traditional family. McDonald's ought to focus on making the best product at the lowest price and cease from supporting the homosexual lifestyle." "I nor anyone in my family will be purchasing any food at McDonald's due to their stand to support the activist gay agenda. Treating people fairly should be the main goal: hiring or serving; reqardless of their religion, gender, or race. However, financially supporting activities that corrupt the family values of the U.S. is not something I will support and will actively boycott. I will support other local corpoations (Chick fil-A and others)." "I am disappointed at the decision you have made to become part of a radical agenda, the purpose of which appears to be to force acceptance of a lifestyle choice which many of your customers believe to be not only wrong but destructive. In making this decision you have chosen to disregard my values in favor of a group who blatantly disregards my morals. If at some time in the future I become aware of a position change by your business, I will consider again patronizing McDonald's." "I wanted to leave a comment and got caught up in reading all of the other comments. Are you getting it yet McDonalds? Are you feeling the pinch yet? I honestly hope you open your eyes to the seriousness of your decision to support the homosexual lifestyle. It's not about hate, it's about standing up for what is right and wrong. We don't hate the people, we hate the sin. I pray that your eyes are opened." "You obviously don't need the business of those who oppose the Gay Agenda, so we will take our business elsewhere." "I will be telling everyone I know where you spend your money to promote this type of thing.We need to love these people but not support the life style. there is many other places that you could spend your money that would be very rewarding." "I have missed eating at Mickey D's, and my 6 year old doesnt understand. Frankly I dont understand either, this has been part of my life as long as I can remember (40 years). I cant believe an organization that has been so big a part of the family unit is not only supporting the homosexual lifestyle, but they are helping them promote it. I have noticed that the lines arent as long as they used to be, haha. Remember that McDonalds is NOT the only company under this corporate umbrella. IF you want to do this right, do your research and ban the whole organization, and anyone affiliated with them." "We should not hate homosexuals... At the same time, we should not support companies that promote this lifestyle. Regardless of what the world thinks, God's standards will never change. He is clearly against this type of lifestyle as it says in His Word. Those who don't agree will tragically find out the truth at judgement when it's too late. My family, therefore, can no longer support McDonald's because they have now become supporters and promoters of living in a way that God does not tolerate. Thanks for reading..." "This is absolutely appalling that you would support such immoral and discusting behaviour while enticing children with happy meal toys to your establishments...I wonder how many parents realize they are also contributing through buying those happy meals for their children....not me!" "never will you get another dollar of mine or my family" "I pray that you will stop supporting something that is completely unnatural and does not stand to save the reason for marriage between one man and one woman, reproduction as my God intended it to be. Please stop supporting this. Please be nuetral. You don't have to agree with me, just stop agreeing with them." "I am so very diappointed that you have decided not to remain neutral in the culture war. I have instructed my investment broker to sell McDonalds stock and I will not invest untill/unless you are neutral. I am not buying at McDonalds nor taking friends for meals. I have advised my family/friends and associates to do the same." "My two children have eaten at McDonald's for the last time. Family values are important." "thats it! my kids usually eat at mc d's 3x weekly, no more for us." "Dear McDonald's, As a family of 6, we love to eat at McD's, good fast food at a reasonable price. But we have not eaten a meal or snack there in more than 6 months. Businesses should not promote agendas of any kind, if individuals choose to give words or finances to support any type of lifestyle agendas that is their right, but businesses should stay out of it. Support cancer research, birth defect research, support for military families etc. Save the agendas for the individuals!" "I'm proud to be McDonalds free for more than 6 months. I don't plan on EVER eating at McDonalds again." "I live in Hemet, California and I have two beautiful little girls, they enjoy your food and playground. And because of your support to the agenda of Gay and Lesbian, we have made the decision not to take our girls to your restaurants, I also like your ice-coffee and have decided to come to your restaurant and I am telling my friends to stop taking their kids. We are speaking for the future values of our kids. Thank you to God we have other restaurants such Burgue King or Carl's Junior, where we take our kids now." "My husband & I are so very disappointed in you for bowing to the pressure to align yourselves with this controversial agenda. We will refuse to support this cause by patronizing you store." "I am truly happy that I no longer work for McDonlads. I did for 8 years, 2 of that as a manager. It saddens me that the corporation has chosen not to be neutral on this issue. I will be telling all of my friends, family and former workers about it. Please recant your support." "We ate ate McDonalds and then took our children now we are taking our grandchildren. As of today, we will not be going to McDonald's again. McDonald's is not a political organization and should remain neutral in controversal topics. You don't need to be on either side--just make good fast food." "What are you thinking!!!" "there's more of us than you, unite and eat a taco." "I am shocked to learn that McDonalds, the most popular restaurant for families with young children has taken such a controversial stand. I for one do NOT want my young children a part of this. My family typically eats at McDonalds at least twice a week, we will now go elsewhere." "as long as you continue supporting immorality i will not eat at any of your restaurants and we have 2 where i live. my support and money will go towards the companies that remain neutral in this decision." "Because of your continued support of Homosexuality, myself and my family will no longer "do business" with your chain, but rather spend that time in fasting and prayer for McDonalds." "We have enough trouble in this country without McDonald's now becoming a lobbying agent for homosexuals. I will not support you." "I'm so sad that I have to explain to my too young children that we will not be able to go to McDonald's anymore. Seeing the images of the children at the parade you support was sick and discusting! It's one thing for a leader of a company to believe in something, but to take the whole company down with you is very sad. God be with you!" "I believe God made a man and women marriage only." "My family of five have not gone to McDonald's on four separate occations in the last two weeks. Once for breakfast, once for ice cream cones and twice while traveling. Instead we went to a local restaurant for breakfast, it cost a little more but was worth it. We got our soft serve at Dairy Queen and lunches at Subway. It's getting easly to live without Mickey D's!" "This is terrible! Maybe Chick fil-A is a better FAMILY restaurent deserving of my money!" "I have been enjoying since I was a kid and love my mum to bring me there for the food and playground. But I am very disappointed in Mcdonald making such a stand in sponsoring homosexuality which jeopardise its core value of being family friendly. I am not against Equal Employment Opportunities for homosexual person but McDonald is making a big mistake of choosing not to make a neutral stand on this very controversial issue. Sadly, but I have to stop dining at McDonald until you have change your stand." "I will not take my grandchildren to your establishment anymore until you change your views on homosexuality and STOP sponsoring their parades..." "It does not make any sense for a restaurant to take on a 'cause' for sinful behavior. You should have remained neutral in this matter. One day you will be judged by your actions and have to answer for this. We will pray for your change of heart. God bless," "We will not do any business with McDonalds until the boycott is ended." "We will not do any business with McDonalds until the boycott is ended." "I am a father of 4 children and I will boycott Mcdonald's. I will send this email to everyone that I know in several organizations that I am involved with. Since Mcdonals's has chosen to be part of the problem instead of the solution, I will make sure not I do not spend one penny at their stores. It is disgusting that an organization that prides itself on being family friendly would choose to involve themselves in support of the gay agenda." "Since McDonald's chooses to take a stand on a practice in which only 3% of the country views as 'right' I will choose to take my business elsewhere....mother of 5 in Mississippi." "Yes, I have 17 grand children and No, I do not take them to McDonald's. I do NOT approve of McDonald's support/encouragement of the sin of homosexuality." "I am very sorry to learn of McDonal's stance on Homosexual Issues. I will not be stopping at any McDonald's from now on. I do NOT hate homosexuals, in fact, I love them as Christ asks me to love my fellow man, but simply cannot support their agenda. Perhaps you've heard of "love the sinner but not the sin". I am glad I do not have little ones clammoring for "happy meals" for I would have to deny them." "I'm concerned for our culture & the next generation we have a chance to be an example to. As leaders we have a chance to make a differance for the good. I have always felt McDonalds was a positive influence, I'm sorry to hear about this unfortunate news that you are behind the gay agenda. My sincere hope is that you will consider your ways and see how you can once again be a positive influence" "not another penny for as long as this family walks this earth SHAME ON YOU!" "Oh, and I so enjoyED your coffee. But, folks, as a former employee of McD's and as a customer for almost 50 years, it's goodbye. You have made your choice at the expense of being fair to the other side. We are having homosexuality "crammed" down our throats and you have allowed yourselves to be manipulated into this. You make and serve food. Why did you even get involved in this "choice" to support homosexuality. Those who oppose it do not do it for a "hate crime" (their favorite phase), but because you are supporting a cause that you have allowed to be pushed on you. You're a food corporation that has allowed yourselves to be targeted by a political machine that is pushing their agenda on every aspect and citizen of the country. I choose to refuse to be "pushed" into something that you have allowed yourselves to be pushed into. So long, Micky D's.........." "Your fries are the best and I will remember them with mouth-watering fondness. I look forward with great anticipation to the day I can enjoy them again - the day McD's moves back to a nuetral or better yet, a pro-family position. McD's has perfectly illustrated the far left's hypocrital nature. If choosing to take a stand for what one believes, such as those of us who follow Jesus and biblical principles on marriage, is hatred then McD's has chosen to become "haters" of family values by chosing to take a stand with those who oppose them. I pray God softens your hearts and opens your eyes to what His will is for McD's." "How dissapointing! My children love McDonald's but we will no longer give you our business. We normally eat from there 3x a week. Remaining neutral is one thing, but openly supporting homosexuality is another. The MAJORITY of your business comes from heteroseuals and families. If you alienate us, you will certainly lose profits. Serves you right!!! I will tell everyone I know of the shame mcDonalds has brought upon themselves." "In-n-Out only from now - they dont have the playgrounds but we'll get it to go and drive to a playground. Plus IN-N-OUT is the best tasting, highest quality burger around." "I think we should never support a sex preference That God doesn't intend on you doing, what's next a child predator, I mean after all isn't that there sex preferences. Does it make it right? Neither does this!!!! Please don't get involve McD's the majority doesn't want this!" "My two kids and I (sometimes the hubby) frequent McDonald's more than I'd like to admit - but this is it for me. We have a cause other than "we need to eat healthier" - we're willing to take a stand on the homosexual agenda you seem fierce to defend. Shame on you McDonald's!" "I want to thank you McD's- I now have a reason to go to Wendys and eat-- then go to your airconditioned play area to play with my kids--- you don't make any $$$!! RECONSIDER--- we go once a week--- and while there I tell all the moms about your NON FAMILY adgenda!! Support family values since your revenue comes from families!" "I have been a customer for 50 years, but I cannot patronize your establishment any longer since your have chosen to promote a biblically incorrect and shameful lifestyle." "What people do behind closed doors is their business, but I do not condone "gay pride" parades, homosexual unions. The ACLU and the likes of your corporation are changing what America was founded on - Christian values! You are no longer America's favorite eating establishment and I will boycott you" "I am very disappointed that your company chooses to support gay and lesbian. you should remain nuetral. we wont be eating there any more." "I have already stopped eating at your restuarants. Normally I will frequent them about 10-12 times per month. I have told my friends and family to do the same! So long, Big Mac! And shame on you, McDonalds Corp!" "You have made your fortune off of families with children like mine. Now you are supporting the gay people and their x rated parades?????? Won't be giving you our business till you return to conservative values or at least some neutrality in your corporate sponsorships. Have you actually seen a gay rights parade? Look it up. Mother of 6 says good bye to you, there are many other fast foods to go to!" "Shame on you. We are not being hateful" "Not only did I sign this boycott petition, I will also encourage others to do so until McDonalds changes their position." "My family of 7 will no longer be going to McDonalds.We refuse to give money to a corporation that supports the gay agenda.Your businesses will suffer, just wait and see." "Our Sunday morning would always begin with a run through the drive thru on our way to church. Aug. 17th was our last visit." "McDonald's has been my first choice for fast food since I was a child (I am almost 50). I choose not to patronize McDonald's as long as McDonald's chooses not to stay neutral on the gay agenda. I believe that the gay lifestyle is an abomination to God and it would be wrong for me to help support that agenda by spending my money at an establishment that supports what I believe to be wrong. If you reconsider, I will bring my business back." "ray kroc is rolling over in his grave. this is a travisty that you support this cause but not the christian movement. what has happend to selling hamburgers and fries? it is not your job to promote certain life styles. only to sell food. go back to what the company was founded on hamburgers and fries." "It is very disturbing that McDonald's has chosen to side with the gay agenda. This "family" restaurant has ironically taken a side that is attacking the American family at it's core. It is NOT a matter of hating gays, it is a matter of principle that homosexuality is wrong and should not be supported. McDonald's has made a stand to discriminate against heterosexual families. Because of that, I will boycott McDonald's and will not allow my children to go there with any family or friends." "How sad that a "family restaurant" has to turn on itself. You do realize gay couples cannot have children?? Who are you going to sell your "happy meals" to? Whether you choose to recognize God or not, He will take this matter up with you." "I am saddened that you would so aggessively promote the gay agenda. Staying neutral and paying attention to what you have done so well for so long would get my vote. Your stand is against God's Word and I can no longer support your organization. Please reconsider!" "You have disgraced the very foundation that McDonalds was built for; the family. Your obviouse political motives behind these actions of yours will haunt you until you change your stand on this. Your gut will let you know this. No, we are not motivated by hate. God did not call us to hate but out of love for man. Homosexuality is not that kind of love. That kind is perverse and unnatural and you know it. I used to take my family to your store because it was a family friendly atmosphere. It is no longer. I will never see the inside of your store again until that changes. I am sorry for you. You have know idea what this will do to you." "This is really upsetting to here that McDonald's would do something as sickening like this. Did you even stop to think about our children and screwed up this world is all ready? I will boycott until there is a change. Shame on the person whe decided to do this. Your money comes mainly from the parents who purchase for their children. I am a mother of four, and McDonalds is one of my kids favorite. We will find another favorite place for them" "We are shocked and disappointed to learn of your support of the activist gay agenda. I will no longer in good conscious be able to dine with you again until you change your policy. What in the world are you thinking? We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful country and your support of such radical ideas with help take us to ruin." "There is nothing hateful about recognizing the need for every child to have a mother and a father to help them to reach their full potential in life. That cannot exist in a homosexual marriage. That is a loving response and we can only benefit our society when we do everything we can to support the traditional family. It doesn't mean that we don't love those people involved in homosexuality but rather that McDonald's should be supporting what is best for our society as a whole. I will have to rethink my future patronizing of McDonald's based on their strong stand against the family!!" "My fondest memories are going to McDonald's with my grandmother when there were fewer than 100,000 served. Now they have cast off mainstream America by supporting immorality AND have the gall to accuse us of hatred. I have a good friend, a niece and a sister-in-law who are lesbians; I certainly don't hate them. But me, my kids and my grandkids won't be eating at any McDonald's ever until they change their position promoting that lifestyle!" "Why has McDonald's chosen to support an agenda that is anti-family in it's nature? My family will no longer be eating at McDonald's until this cultural attack on my family ends and there is an apology for accusing me of hatred for thinking differently then McDonald's chooses." "stay neutral, as most of the companies." "when you wake up and do whats right i will be back" "Me and mine, will no longer frequent McDonalds. I refuse to donate to a cause I find repulsive. Businesses are to provide goods and services, not make political statements or further a political and immoral agenda." "Dear McDonalds, I love McDonalds and so does my family of 6. I considered it a family friendly place. I was extremely offended when I saw the Gay Pride Parade and that McD's supported it. What does being a homosexual have to do with a trashy parade of men walking naked or 1/2 naked women with tassels on, dancing on poles in a parade float. I am not a homosexual nor do I hate people that are. However, the fact that McDonalds could support such a trashy, distasteful thing, like that parade or anything that linked to it tells me you are not for the family or have children's best interest in mind. I am sick. McDonalds is the closest fast food place to us, it is also in our local Walmart. However, I will now go out of my way 15 min. to eat at Wendys. I will now get my soda and snack at Walmart and eat in the car, before I sit down, like normal, with my family and eat at the McDonalds inside our Walmart. McDonalds should have stayed neutral." "It is a shame that a place that always has been considered a family place has chosen to support homosexuality.We have not eaten at McDonald's since we first heard about this. We do not hate gays, we just do not agree with their lifestyle. We will support Chik-Fil-A.Read Romans Chapter 1." "I do not agree with what you believe, The Bible says, marriage is between a man and a woman. You will not be seeing my family at the golden arches." "Ithink it is a shame that McDonald's has taken this stand. As long as they support this my family and I will not step foot in the doors." "I am shocked that a corporation would try so hard to drive sales by supporting immoral behavior. I am not saying that people don’t have the choice to do what they want, what I am saying is that a restaurant corporation should focus on food not on immoral life styles. I will no longer endorse a company that makes such choices and I will encourage everyone I know to do the research and make the choice to go elsewhere." "McDonald's choices are not supporting a healthy society. I will not buy your products" "Is is sad to hear of your poor choices and my family and I have choosen to do what is right and to place our money in another restaurant that will NOT support this kind of behavior. Goodbye McDonald's...you should have stayed neutral!!!" ""As long as McDonalds is going to take this stand on homosexuality, I will no longer be a customer. I will also encourage all my family, friends, and co-workers to do the same."" "We have always thought of McDonald's as a family supporting organization. It is unfortunate that you have choose to support events like the San Francisco Gay Pride parade with a television commercial that openly attacks traditional marriage. If children are important to McDonald's, McDoanld's should be supporting the one fundamental union that gives birth and nuturing to children, the union of Man and Woman only." "I am 52 years old and rember my first big mac, In my opinion McDee's food has fallen off over the years,but has always been considered a family place, I see that has now changed also, no more breakfast stops for me." "It is one thing to choose for yourself to be homosexual but it is an infringment on my freedoms. To shove someones elses sexual preference in my face, as well as my children, or be hostile and intolerant to me because I am not a homosexual,it's violated my rights. Also promoting hatred for heterosexuals and the family is what has made our country suffer greatly. Freedom of speech was never intended for others to abuse people of different beliefs. If you studied the Constitution in its original form, it would state that freedom of speech stops when it is used for personal gain and to hurt or take the rights of others away." "I'm saddened by McDonalds' choice to become a proactive voice for the homosexual movement. I will not purchase food at McDonalds unless they forsake such endorsements." ""How can you have something good like the ronald mcdonald house for kids and then give in to something that is going to destroy marriage and the family unit as it was meant to be? Shame on you. Burger king here i come!" "I have eaten at McDonald's twice this past week but but I will not and my family will not eat there any more until McDonald's makes an open apology to the American public for sponsoring such an immoral and obscene event and cause." "being tolerant of, not discriminating against and supporting gay rights are different things. Like Jesus I can eat with those that are different and love them without supporting their beliefs if they are different from mine. Gays and Lesbians are not entitled to any rights that I am not entitled to as a heterosexual. If I were a vegetarian would I be entitled to rights that meat eaters aren't? I think that we are all created equal so if you are going to support the gay and lesbian agenda then you also have to support those that are against SSM, those that are pro-life, those that are pro-choice, and so on. While gays and lesbians should not be discriminated against or hated simply because of sexual orientation they should not have special rights simply because their beliefs are different. No more big macs or fries for me." "We are a family of 7 so it seems someone is always at McDonald's everyday...even if only to buy a drink. I will say that I am very disappointed that McDonald's would not choose to stay nuetral on this issue. We cannot frequent an establishment that so blatantly refuses to stay out of what doesn't concern them." "And to think that I took my kids over there...No more frequenting mcdonalds" "Of course, I have been a customer of McDonalds since I was little. My big brother's first job was at the original kind white/with a single arch! Yeah, that is 40 yrs ago. When I received the email, I knew I was instantly done with them. We as a family ate McDonalds at least twice a week. We will no longer. A year and a half ago, when Burger King did the commercial of "Big Bucking Chicken", I chose to boycott over such a lewd commercial and haven't eaten there in that length of time. I can promise your support will be noticed by people who have quality morals and christian beliefs alike and you will miss their dollars for your poor choices. McDonald's Who???" "I will pray for your McDonalds while boycotting. What I don't understand is if heterosexuals marched half or wholly naked it would be considered indecent. Why is this acceptable for homosexuals who claim to want to be normalized yet exhibit abnormal, pornographic behavior? How is this reconcilled in the homosexual agenda? And McDonald's supports this? May the Lord have mercy on all of us." "I love McDonald's food. But since the company has decided to embrace and support the homosexual lifestayle, I will be eating at Burger King and Wendy's." "No more decision to be made Burger King it is!!" "We as a family are saddened that you do not support the family values that have grown your company to what it is today. You have lost sight, as has America, in God centered values on which our nation was founded and has thrived. We cannot support such an agenda." "I am so unhappy-no happy meals- because of your non traditional family values. I have 8 children, and we have'nt been in a McDonalds for ages. It'll be that way until there is a change. My friends have'nt gone to McDonalds for the same reason. Too bad, but for fast food we'll go to Arby's and Chick fil A. Having Cameron blood in the veins, I can see that McDonalds are the same, traitors. Check the history books." "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 ."shame on you, do you not realize this was a family restaurent---NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!"" "I am truly sorry that McDonalds is committed to the destruction of the lives of people suffering from what has been scientifically proven to be a serious psychiatric disorder connected to root gender issues. I am sorry, McDonald's, but offering to help people "come out" is only helping them continue to live in denial that they have a problem. Please quit your failed policies of support for the gay community. The only real way to help them is to share the truth (that they can get help for their issues) in love. Stop corporate enabling!" "We're done and not another dime will be spent there from our family." Will boycott until you change your policy" "I cannot support any company that openly defies good values in support of wicked perverse activities that will cause many to be lost in eternity. You would do better concentrating making better food and stop your other disservice to mankind." "McDonalds thinks that no matter what they do to support the gay homosexual agends, Americans wil continue to spend their hard earned money eating McDonalds food. The best way to hurt the McDonald orginization is to hit them in the pocket book. If enough customers join this boycott of McDonalds, they will soon realize the error of their ways. My family and I, and everybody that I know that used to go to McDonalds on a regular basis, will never spent one red cent there again. There are too many other fine fast food restaurants available. They are definantly not the only show in town." "Our family frequented Mc'Dees in the past but will no longer do so as long as the corporate policy is what it is." "I've purposely avoided eating at McDonalds for months because of your pro-gay stand. You are losing a lifelong customer." "We went out for fast food this evening, a family of 6, but it was not to McDonalds and because of your corporation's active stand of promoting the homosexual life style, we will continue to spend our money elsewhere. I hope many more do the same." "We will no longer be supporting McDonalds since you have decided to not support families and their values." "Congratulations Mc Donalds! You have now allied your once great name (along with the Miller Brewing Company) to the purveyors of the desecration and destruction of what was once good and right in this (formerly?) great nation. We used to look upon the name McDonald's as standing for traditional family values and virtues; as something all-American and wholesome. Take a look at what goes on at these so-called "pride" events and then tell your loyal customers that your corporation wholeheartedly endorses this kind of behavior. Do the activities at these events really and truly reflect what the (once?) great name of McDonald's stands for? If so, then I fear that your company has made a disastrous decision to abandon it's founder's principles and instead debase itself before the false god of soulless profit. Is nothing sacred anymore? Have you at long last sold your good name to those would call evil good?" "No more Big Mac's for me nor my family of 6. I will also tell everyone I know to not patronize McDonalds. My money will not support such an appauling cause." "Since you are bend on supporting the gay agenda, we wont be dining at McDonald's any more" "Praise God for leaders like Truett Cathey of Chick-fil-A who continue to put Christian values first and who continues to thrive in the business world. McDonald's seems to be standing for nothing and in the process is losing a lot of the all-American family support that built it's brand. I can only hope that their top leaders and decision makers will reconsider their alignment and focus on the American family once again." "Sonic has better fries anyway." "My family and I will not be eating any more at McDonald's until you cease your support of the gay agenda. I have talked about the boycott to all family, and they are joining me." "It's sad to see another American icon fall to the pressure of a minority group. This great country is being dissolved bit by bit because companies and individuals will not stand for the very principals and morals that built this great nation. May God have mercy on us a nation." "When my children were growing up, we ate at McDonald's several times a week. I considered it a Family Restaurant -- a safe place for my children. I was so disappointed to hear that McDonald's is sponsoring a gay pride parade and supporting the gay agenda. I no longer feel that it is a safe place. I will be taking my grandchildren to Chick-fil-A instead of to McDonald's as long as this indifference to families continues." "Why is it that when God has stated that homosexuality is immoral and we are to follow what He says about not indulging in it, all of the sudden God's Word is considered a "hate crime"? This has nothing to do with hate, but everything to do to with standing up for God and His commandments. That is all it is and nothing else. Being on the defensive about any topic is one thing, but ridiculing people for following the Truth is another. Let's get real here and and quit playing the blame game for opposing a violation God Himself ordained. People don't hate because someone endorses another lifestyle. The sin of that lifestyle is hated, NOT the sinner. We pray for them." "Are you serious!? An American Icon - McDonald's - has turned it's back on American values? Your commercial says you "activly support" people being lured and trapped in the confusion and pain that is homosexuality? McDonald's has been my favorite restaurant all of my life! The company I have loved has lost it's way. I have eaten my last double cheesburger." "Im surprise to hear McDonalds is supporting gay life style. If you want to give money away support our children starving, homeless people, hospitals, school etc" "I am very disappointed that you choose to promote the homosexual agenda. I will not be setting foot in any McDonald's restaurant until you return to a position of neutrality on the subject. And to call those of us who favor traditional marriage and family "hateful" shows how shortsighted and uninformed you really are." "McDonalds has proven they are not aligned with American Family values. They have joined the enemy in the culture war and I will boycott the restaurants" "Bye-Bye Golden Arches!! I would rather eat last nights left overs!!" "I am sorry you have chosen to ignore traditional American values. I am praying for America!" "Our family will not step foot in a McD's until you have decided to remain neutral in situation. For years you have supported families, when did you change your views? We will also share this with EVERYONE we know." "It is with regret that my family will not be visiting McDonald's anymore or until you stop supporting gay people and their horrible tactics of a gay parade. Totally offensive to the family unit." "I am personally offended that you would choose to promote one lifestyle over another. Remaining neutral is the way corporations are supposed to operate, it's fair and balanced. I am disappointed to no longer feel like I can eat from your restaraunts." ""I have signed this Boycott because of the actions of your company. Your support of the Gay Agenda is disappointing and un acceptable. I have supported you for at least 34 years. I will no longer do that but I will put my money where my mouth is and take my grandchildren somewhere else." "I love McDonald's fries and have missed going this summer. However, I am telling everyone to boycott McDonald's because of your support of homosexuality." "I have eaten at McD's for over 40 years. Well no more. Your sponsorship of the gay agenda and your condescending attitude to people that disagree with your views is not acceptable. RIP Ronald McDonald." "The only time I'll ever go in a Mc'Donalds again is for an absolute emergency bathroom break!" "I refuse to be support in any ways your values, and neither will my children. Shame on you" "I am not an activist by any definition but I will not spend another cent at McDonald's. When my teenage daughter and her friends are informed of McDonald's political stance on this issue they will shift their patronage to the local Jack in the Box!" "A strong healthy America is an America of families. Promoting perverted sex and a San Francisco lifestyle is not promoting a strong America. You have lost my business forever." "McDonald's-shame on you! I must now explain to my special needs child that Ronald McDonald and everything he stood for is false! It's not for the kids anymore, but for you agenda of tearing down the American Family! This family will be visiting other restaurants instead of yours!" "I take great care in choosing where I take my family. I do not want my children and grandchildren to be influenced by, or have any part in supporting things that will harm them. Your support of homosexuality (ie: sexual disorientation) is in direct conflict with the moral truths that my family has always been taught. This chosen lifestyle of sexual activity outside of legitimate (one man / one woman) marriage can only harm our society by degrading the importance of marriage, fidelity, and integrity." "I will not support McDonalds anymore." "McDonalds has the right to support any group they want and I have the right to take my 2 sons somwhere else for a kids meal. McDonalds has chosen to aggressively support an alternate lifestyle that I do not support. McDonalds did what they wanted to do and I will do what I want to do. I hope the stockholders take note and rethink their position. If you don't believe this stance is morally wrong, you'll have to admit it's a bad business move. Burger King, Wendy's, and Chick-fil-A here we come!" "I will NOT be a patron at McDonalds anymore. McDonalds should remain nuetral/silent about their position on sexual perverted lifestyles." "guess we will favor Burger King next time" "It appears as though McDonalds has forgotten how family values have gotten them where they are. My family thinks it is shameful and we vow never to patronize there establishments until they stop supporting their gay agenda." "Thank you, AFA for shedding the light on McDonald's. For some reason their coffee does not taste as good as it once did. I will not be patronizing their eateries any longer until I hear that they have changed their minds regarding these issues." "My family and I will no longer be eating at our local McD's here in Alabama. Your organization is blatantly supporting those who would destroy family values and the principles on which our country was founded. We will now eat at one of your many competitors who do business in our community. I will also be sending this information to my friends in Florida, Tenn., Washington, Miss., and Texas (oh, yes, and also to my son and his unit serving in Iraq) who will make the same decision I have and notify THEIR friends across the country. What a disappointment you have become!" "Our family of 5 will be making the choice to not go to McDonalds. There is no reason you had to TAKE A STAND with the Gays and promote their destructive agenda. With the rate of teen suicides today, drugs, sexual abuse and just the lack of moral values today, remaining neutral and not choosing to promote this dangerous life style would have been int he best interest for all of your Patrons. We will be glad to eat at other Restaurants until you reverse your decision." "The grandkids have had their last "Happy Meal" while I am in the driver's seat! You have permanantly lost 15 customers in our family alone, due to your ill-advised endorsement of an "agenda" that includes activities such as Gay and Lesbian "Parades", with their unrestained and obscene sexual demonstrations. This corporate choice reveals moral and cultural ignorance, not the political correctness intended." "No longer a "big mac" purchurser. I think more of my time and money." "I am speechless. My 10 year old son loves your food. Unfortunately we support the traditional familiy. Our family believes that marriage is sacred and is between a man and a woman. We love all people, but we do not condone immoral behavior. Unfortunately corporations like yours contribute to the rapid decline of our society because you stand against morality and family values. It still escapes me why people have to identify themselves by their sexual preferences. I believe those are private matters and all MARRIED ADULTS should be discreet in public displays of affection because the rest of the world really don't care to watch. No more chicken nuggets and fries for our family." "I cannot believe that McDonald's is supporting such a cause, and will not take a neutral stand on this issue.This is no longer a "FAMILY" resturant...and because you have made the decision to take the stand that you have on supporting the homosexuals, then my family and I must take a stand to NOT EAT AT McDonalds anymore..We WILL NOT COMPROMISE OUR FAMILY VALUES! if you must make that choise, so be it...we've made ours.There are many places where we can go and feel like it's a FAMILY RESTURANT supporting American family values." "Mcdonald's is no longer an option for me. I cannot contribute my hard earned cash to a corporation who supports "sinful and immoral" behavior." "Dear McDonald's, I will not support your stance to promote homosexuals within the ranks of your business. I have let my large family know about your support for the gay agenda, marches, hiring within McDonald's and monetary support ($20,000) to the gay agenda. I am not against homosexuals just the lifestyle and the need to make them a special class of their own with special rights that infringe on my own belief system. Iam not homophobic. I have had homosexuals as friends and I do not judge the people just the lifestyle. I think itis an unwise choice you and your corporate offices have made to promote this as you serve a large diverse population not just the gay agenda!!" "what poor leadership from the top..use some common sense" "What's that sound...it's McDonald's stock price falling from parents taking there kids to Wendy's and BurgerKing." "How about focusing on making better hamburgers at a better price instead of funding "social agendas." I've eaten my last McNugget until this practice is ended. I'd rather spend my money at Chick-Fil-A...a restaurant that shares my values...and whose chicken sandwich blows away that junk McDonald's just introduced." "What do hamburgs and fries have to do with sexual preference? Mc D, what is next? Gay or straight toys in the Happy meals? Get back to food choices only." "I choose to boycot McDonalds until such time that they descintinue their promotion of the gay/lesbian agenda." "I have for years boycotted Carl's Jr. due to their use of Playboy Bunnies in their commercials. I will now ad McDonald's to my list. I will explain to my grandson why grandpa will not take him there. I know that you are very children oriented with your play area. I stand on principles. Your support homosexually goes against my family values. You have lost my support of your restaurant." "I will continue to pass out flyers in front of the "rainbow arches" to educate and turn away your customers." "Just make hamburgers and let them be less expensive and not contribute to an agenda that offends people." "I will ask everyone I know to stop patronizing MacDonald's. A considerable number!!!!" "Sorry to hear Ronald is selling out to an agenda that does not promote health and LIFE to its customers. Besides getting the trans fat out of your menu, please consider just what your aggressive actions are doing to promote unhealthy lifestyles to all the children who dearly love McDonald's. I am sad to hear you won't be remaining nuetral in the stance you have chosen. There are many who will have to withdraw their support, bye bye miss american pie, and bye bye McDonald's!" "very disappointing!!! If Mcd's has now made it there aim to promote special interests rather than providing value meals my family will make it a point to eat elsewhere and encourage others as well......." "I wish McDonald's had stayed neutral in the culture war over homosexual marriage. But you've made your decision, and now I've made mine - no more McDonalds until you back off and become neutral." "McDonald's. One of the biggest dissapointments of the century. McDee's Golden Arches are no longer Golden. You have tarnished them forever. McDonald's management has brought dishonor upon themselves and all of the thousands of McDonald's worldwide. You've not only lost your basic moral values you have lost you basic moral customers. You should be proud of yourselves for you have caved in and exposed your weakmindedness. Family values used to be what McDonald's was all about. Said values now, at McDonald's, are valueless. You have aided and abetted the destruction of traditional marriage. I will help spread the word far and wide. Whats next on McDonald's anti- traditional family values agenda, will you now also lend your support to the murder of the unborn human child? The path you have chosen is littered with dishonor, disloyalty, disappointment and much shame. McDonald's must make a course change and come back to the true center of family values. T" "McDonald's has a right to support whomever and whatever they choose. I also have the same right. I choose not to support a company which supports a depraved lifestyle. Signed - A mother of six and grandmother of 13." "You can add our family of 8 to the growing list of those who will not be spending money at McD's! Shame on you for being cowards and turning on families....."Happy meals" will be replaced and will become a thing of the past for our family!" "A group of us from our church have been meeting a McDonald's once a month for dessert. We as a group have now decided to go to another place because of your choice to support gay and lesbian agenda. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!" "Why do you refuse to remain a family friendly cooperation? If you want to show your support for a group of people, then don't promote gay/lesbian/transgendered people...they can take care of themselves like normal straight people (heterosexuals) do all the time. Send your support...our money we pay for purchasing your food to people that need your help, like the homeless, soldiers returning from war, orphanages, married couples wanting to adopt but don't have the funding for it (heterosexual couples). I don't get you...if you could go back in time to the man who first began McDonalds before it was named that, then you would see what he stood for and it would not be to support the gays, a group of people who want help to promote their lifestyle. Let them live that way if they want. They know it's wrong or else they wouldn't be fighting for it so hard. Don't you think?!" "Please, why support any agenda that is clearly controversial. I have nothing against "gays" but I do have a problem with anyone pushing their views on me or my kids. Like any view , its personal and not hateful. We are all different and thats what makes us unique. I will not support Mcdonalds anylonger . Your clearly on an angenda. burger king, wendys, hardees are just as good. bye" "Tell me why I should not dump my McDonalds stock!" "It is a very sad day for true American families when McDonalds chose to support the homosexual agenda. Shame on you!!! My money will be spent at other fast food restaurent that do not support the gay lifestyle. Please re-consider your decision on this matter" "My friends and family will not support McDonald's as long as you support giving to "gay" events!!!!" "We have 5 children, still young and 10 grand children just as young. We love those relatives and friends that have adopted the gay livestyle but we do not support what they believe. We cannot afford to support their ideas because we are responsible to mould their minds, their heart or their soul. We cannot support purchasing anything from your organization any further because we do not believe in the ideas you support." "I will never eat at McDonalds again, as i don't shop Ford motor company or any other companies at sponsors the gays..." "I will no longer go to McDonald's, and I am forwarding your support of the homosexual agenda to everyone on my email list. Maybe if you are hit in the pocketbook, you will realize that 90% of this country is against the promotion of radical gay & lesbians." "I have no hatred - not even dislike - for people who are gay as long as they don't flaunt it (i.e. parades, etc.) However, it is totally wrong to encourage & to try and promote any life style that is detrimental to family & moral values. Why encourage a life style that is helping to tear down America? I am so disappointed in McDonald's." "what you are doing is just wrong!! If you continue we will have no choice but to no longer eat at your restaurants. What a shame!" "Your agressive support of the activist gay agenda has illustrated your nonbelief in the core of family values. No more McDonald's for me--or my husband or our eight grandchildren! Chick fil-A will continue to be our choice. Oh, and if we happen to be traveling on Sundays when Chick fil-A is closed, we will either eat somewhere else or take along some home-fried chicken and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like we used to do when our children were small. It was cheaper then and it will be MUCH cheaper now! Hey, what a novel idea!" "It is truly sad when a company once thought to be so family oriented chooses to support a special interest group whose whole agenda is to destroy the traditional family in America. As long as McDonald's chooses to drop this endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle they will not get any business from anyone in my immediate and extended family." "McDonalds can not have it both ways; it cannot be a family restaurant and support values which are attempting to destroy the family. We would not support mistreating homosexuals; but if we truly cared about their welfare, we would want to let them know what God has said in His word about their choices rather than affirm and promote them. We will try to avoid McDonalds." "i will take my children to another restaurant....peroid" "Don't throw away traditional family values just to please a few or one special group. You need to support the traditional family values." "Marriage=one woman one man...support that MCDONALDS! That is something real that every family should live by." "We've been loyal customers for 35 years. We were disappointed to learn of your stand promoting the gay agenda. We 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. McDonald's, you're no longer an option for us until you change your stand in supporting the homosexual agenda. We will be going to Wendy's instead. Thank you." "As a mother of 4 boys who all Love Mcdonalds spending $30 a week on our way home from games. That's amost $800 a year. We will miss your fries." "Quoting: :"Shareholders as well as customers should be outraged at the blatant position this company has taken on this issue. McDonald's corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to continue to earn profits and expand their company. By alienating such a large consumer base, the Christian community, they are undoubtedly neglecting this responsibility," he said." Exactly. We will be dining at Burger King, Arbys and Culvers from now on. We are sick to death of having this stuff shoved down our throats, and if a boycott helps to end it sooner, rather than later, so be it." "Burger King is now my choice to eat." "My family has supported your company for years by eating at your golden arches all over the country. NO MORE! You have dropped completely off the charts as a moral and caring company catering to especially children. The entire family finds your stand on this issue totally disgusting. As long as you continue to support the Gay agenda we will not eat at your places! NO MORE MCDONALDS FOR THIS FAMILY." "My family and I will no longer eat at McDonalds as long as you support anything with the gay or lesbian or any other such movement. I have also forwarded this to my whole e-mail list. Craig" "My son plays soccer for our local high school and the team bus and parents always stopped at McDonalds because the kids liked it and the coach got to eat free. The team will be finding a new place to eat!" "We have enjoyed McDonalds for years, but will not continue to support your establishment since you have decided to support the gay agenda....and we thought this was a family establishment! You are contributing to the demise of the family and the moral standards of our country. Shame on you!" "Because of your undying support for homosexuals, my family of seven (and hundreds from our church) will no longer be visiting your restaurant. What you are promoting is immoral and cannot work. Gay relationships and marriages will never work. They are set up to fail as they were not meant to be. What you promote will always fail. Their failure rate is 100% within 10 years. Cant you see that. If you want to promote something, promote a true marriage between one man and one woman. We need to love everyone and I mean EVERYONE. I don’t care if your gay, straight, male, female, black or white. We should love all people. Love does not mean we have to say that everything is ok and that nothing is wrong. You can make every excuse you want and try to blame it on Christians but ultimately, you will find out your wrong and I hope you have a change of heart before you’ve taken this too far." "I am very distressed that Mc Donald's has chosen not to be neutral on th homosexual agenda. You have stood for years as a family-friendly business. I am compelled to take my business elsewhere." "adios, goodbye, farewell, so long" "McDonalds's has taken its last dollar from my pocket." "Our family of 5 Just ate our last meal at McDonalds---What a Shame!!!! We love your fries, and double cheese burgers, but we like many other's who care about core family values 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, and our support, both in loyalty, and financially. We will not spend another penny at Micky Dee's." "I eat at McDonalds at least twice a week,not any more. I guess its going to be Burger King or Wendy's from now on. Is it really worth the amount of new business that you think you might get ,as ooposed to the business old and new that you will lose. You are only being asked to remain neutral, and not promote an alternative lifestyle." "I hate this! I love their coffee, but I too refuse to spend a cent there. Why do these huge corps. think they have to get involved in this kind of stuff,(like joining the national gay and lesbian of commerce) you'd think it had nothing to do with serving hamburgers and chicken nuggets." "You should remain neutral. You have taken a stand a wrong choice I might add. I will choose a place that supports moral values. The way individuals choose to live is their business but for you to support that particular lifestyle.... I will choose to support other franchises." "You have enjoyed the freedom of America all these years...taking the side of those who desire to TAKE away freedom from others is wrong. We do not hate, only wish to keep immorality out of our society." "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!" "I have boycotted McDonalds because of your support of gay agenda - I will let others know." "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?) must be rolling in his grave!! Huh, motivated by "HATE"?!?! Idiots!! So long McDonald's!!" "My son's favorite food is your double cheeseburger, but he agrees with us that we must boycott McDonald's if you continue to put your money behind the homosexual agenda. We don't hate homosexuals, in fact we love them as God does, but we believe the Bible when it says that the homosexual lifestyle is wrong. It's not just another choice, it defies the order that God Himself established. Our family of 6 will miss your food, but we won't eat at McDonalds again until you decide to change your stance back to a neutral one. Andrea B." "we have been long time customers of McDonalds, but until you respond in a more "neutral" manner to the boycott, we will be eating our hamburgers elsewhere. My son has also "retracted" his application. Look forward to hearing from AFA that you have reconsidered. Thank you, A. Myers" "This has nothing to do with hate, the boycott is about McDonald's helping to fund and agenda that is destroying our country!" "I don't understand why a large corporation such as yours would choose to support a minority group. The fact remains that the vast majority of Americans oppose same sex marriage. By supporting this issue, you are trying to help a small percentage of the population, which seems to be poor business practice." "Based on McDonald's logic if someone perferred a Whopper over a Big Mac, that person obviously hates McDonalds. I do not hate those that believe in same sex marriage, I do however disagree with their position and I am boycotting McDonalds for supporting the Gay Agenda" "Let me just say I am so sad to hear that another what I thought was a Family restaurant is no longer Family friendly. This is really a sad day for America. I will try to choose other places to eat when you all are an option." "What a sad choice they have made. McDonald's is about the only fast food we have in our small town. I plan to drive into our next town over to eat somewhere else until McDonald's starts promoting my family values." "I will boycott McDonalds. It's not about hate, it's about the law and my belief in the Bible, that says it's homosexuality is wrong" "This has nothing to do with hate, the boycott is about McDonald's helping to fund and agenda that is destroying our country!" "I know that this boycott is not about hate, because I have a daughter that is gay and I don't hate her. This boycott is about not putting Corporate support behind same sex marriage!" "You saw what happened to Ford Motor Company when it was boycotted. Are you prepared for the down hill financial run your corporation will do because of this stand you are taking!!! How can you sleep at night? Family values are very important to us. This nation was founded on it!!! God will have the last say in this matter!!!!"" "My 13 yr old son and I just got back from a 1400 mile road trip. On four occassions we purposefully chose not to eat at McDonalds on the trip. It was sometimes difficult to to find other resturants in some of the small towns, but we took the extra time to find them. There are so many other causes to support. This one has been rejected by most of the world's cultures for centuries. Why would anyone choose to support this cause that is at the bottom of list of just causes to support in the world we live in. Why do this and why now? Darrell" "I will not be eating at McDonald's. There are plenty of alternatives where I can take my grandchild." "As long as McDonald's continues to support the gay agenda which includes homosexual marriage, our family will discontinue patronizing this establishment. We will pray for the leaders of McDonald's." "Our company has been eating breakfast at McDonalds every weekday morning for the past 6 years. With this stand you have taken against the American family, we can no longer in good conscience support your company by eating in your restaurants. We do not hate anyone; we simply love God and His laws about marriage. If our stand is one of hatred, then your company is taking a stand of hatred against God, against family, and against those who support same sex marriage." "How sad the a corporation like McDonalds bows to the fears of the Gay Agenda. They've sold themselves out, for what? I'm not asking them to publicly make a statement against the Gay Agenda, but to publicly make statements promoting them and then to financially support them is appalling. Remember, homosexuality is NOT a race, or gender. It is simply a matter of how you choose to have sex." "I am sorry that I will no longer be able to support McDonalds. It is clear that your support of SSM is hatred for christians and GOD. I will pray for you" "I LOVE McDonald's. Have eaten there since my children were 4,5, and 6. They are now 48,49, and 50. I had breakfast EVERY morning until McDonald's blatantly slammed my face with their new agenda. It hurts my heart! Now I am eating breakfast at Wendy's. It's not very good food---but I just can't in good conscience support McDonald's until their policy is changed. There's just too many restaurants for me to choose from....I am sad for I LOVE NcDonald's, but NOT the new policy! It would be great if you would just be neutral. The word HATE is not in my agenda...PLEASE rethink your decision...." "I am sorry that you have decided to support the gay agenda. I will go to another resturant for my fast food. Guntersville Al." "I will boycott! McDonald's could have avoided this SSM issue but simply remaining neutral, period!" "I am really upset that a business that tries to attract children would also agree tosupport such a wrong lifestyle. My children love McDonalds but we as parents have explained to them we cannot and will not supoort such disgusting behavior. We will all we called to acocunt for our actions and all that we lead astray. I hope you change direction before it is too late. As for our family we will be eating at Chik Filet. I will not spend my money with groups that blatently tear down my faith and the values I teach my children." "My boys just love McDonalds, but with the stand that McDonalds has taken makes it easy for me to choose another place to eat. In case you haven't noticed a majority of the states now have marriage being between a man and a woman in thier state constitutions. I guess the majority of Americans don't matter to you guys." "Our family with six children has refrained from purchasing at McDonald's Michael, Guelph, ON" "our family is no longer supporting your restaraunt anymore. because of your stand Me and My family will make a stand. Peter" "I am boycotting McDonalds until you withdraw your support of the NGLCC. I am the mother of two small boys, ages 2 & 4, and the aunt of a 10 & 12 year old. I am simply ask you that you focus on making hamburgers, fries and shakes, not social policy. Thank you." "We will never again eat at McDonalds. You have successfully alienated a huge segment of the Christian, moral population. I hope gay/lesbian dollars are enough for you because you won't be getting mine ever again. I'm sure you "hate" that!" "How sad. I also wish that McDonald's would choose to support a cause as world hunger or child abuse - instead of wasting dollars after other agenda's." "Never would I have believed McDonald's would take such a firm stance against family values. Honestly I have no problem with homosexual's having the same rights to insurance and other benefits, and they are welcome to live life any way they choose. My issue is that you support granting special rights to people based on their sexual preference. I have four children and we've frequented McDonald's often;however, we'll not be visiting your restaurant until we see a change in your discrimination against the families that were once your customers." "I am amazed that if you disagree with a lifestyle you are called a bigot and a hater. Seems to me that the ones calling you a hater are the true haters. No more McDonald's for my family of four. TB" "Who dares to set themselves as the judge of another's motivation? To say people are opposed to anything motivated by hate takes a lot of gumption and self grandeur by the accuser!" "Thanks McDonalds I needed another reason for not eating there besides the terrible food." "I have been eating less and less @ McDonald's for health reasons but this is overboard and your hard-core stance of a "chosen" way of life will not be tolerated by me or my family. I have many friends who are gay and they know I love them but don't condone/promote their chosen lifestyle. The same should go for McDonald's. Please stick to just serving food. Thank you!" "I am stoked! I never liked eating at McD's my kids and husband have already agreed not to eat there anymore because of this!! Whoo Hoo no more McD's!!" "McD's "I'm Loving It" NOT!!! My wife and I boycotted Hardee's for airing smut-filled ads and we haven't eaten there in almost 4 years! Now, we'll only choose a corporation whose profits go for the good, like Chick-Fil-A. It's a shame I have to base my eating choices on your dumb choices. Sorry for your loss." "You've made a choice, or rather your CEO and Board of "directors" made the choice for you all of you share holders. Now the American public has a choice to make whether to support your company or take a stand for family morals. Personally I hope that sales drop off so bad that the CEO has to make a TV ad to apoligize to American families. TEXAS" "It is my hope that the MCDonald's leadership will come to understand that opposition to the homosexual agenda is not motivated by hatred, but by compassion and concern for what is truly best for our nation and every individual in it. I have family members and friends who are gay and their lifestyle is NOT full of joy for them. While they have bought into the lie that they are "born this way and cannot help it" they struggle greatly to find true happiness and peace. I have four young children and it is too bad that we now have to pass by every McDonald's we see from. I hope the leadership of McDonald's opens their eyes to the reality of the homosexual agenda and the destruction it is causing. If any group is motivated by anger and hatred, theirs certainly is." "We do not hate gays. It is just not a lifestyle I want to promote. Thank you. I will not be stopping at McDonald's." "As usual, the Spin Doctors are hard at work. Personally, I don't give two hoots what consenting adults due in their own bedroom. It's none of my business. What is my business is Freedom of Speech and, whether you want to admit it or not, the homosexual agenda is going to help usher in an era where citizens will have to watch what they think, say and do. Not only will this end free speech, it will make it a crime to even discuss a different mindset than the new 'norm', Mark my words. Oh and almost forgot. No more McDonalds for me and my house!" "As a Christian, it is easy for me to no longer patronage McDonalds. I can live with it, can McDonalds?" "Wrong! It's not hate (although there is some pity involved). It's a matter of an icon that's been created by decency for children turning to sponsor and support something indecent, immoral, abnormal and forbidden in the Bible for our children to be brainwashed to think it is the opposite of all those things "because McDonald's thinks it's OK". What goes up must come down, and McDonald's is not too big that it can't be brought down, and I'll sure do my part. Shame on you, of all companies, to betray the innocence that has made you great and betray the great country founded on moral principles that allowed you to become great. Stop sponsoring SMUT or begin your decline. Companies like you really do underestimate the fiber of this great nation and misunderstand the reason it is great. Bye-bye, McDonald's." "We will no longer patronize McDonalds and do all possible to inform those we come in contact with about McDonald' anti-morals and anti-family practice demonstrated by their support of the Homosexual agenda. I would think many of you would have children and grand-children. Have you no regard for the kind of world you are helping to create and the ultimate destruction it will bring to the family unit? As the family goes, so goes the nation. It has nothing in the world to do with hate - it is about right and wrong. Homosexuality has always been wrong and always will be regardless of what man has to say." "I am 70 years of age. My wife and I have 4 adult chidren,12 grandchiidren and 1 great grandchild due in a month. We have been patrons of Mc Donalds from the very beginning of your business. I am disappointed to have to stop eating with you, but we already have done so and it will not be a quick turn around if you choose to reverse your position. But... should your apology be sincere enough and your your change of position strong enough, we could be persuaded to consider eating at your places again. No flippant change will be sufficient. Your present mentality is a threat to our cherished way of life. I can and will forgive you, but I will never support your anti-family agenda. Millard F Jackson" "I raised 3 kids and we have supported McDonalds for many decades. I am saddened that you refuse to remain nuetral and are actively promoting an a lifestyle that goes against God's standards. One day we will all bow before Him and many will have to answer for their choices. Are you comfortable answering for yours? I pray you have a change of heart and repent of the message you are sending to the youth of America!" "You say that you want people to live in a society that is free from hate and harassment, but the fact is this, there will always be hate and harassment. Society tries to tell Christians what is right and what is wrong, and then we are ridiculed for our beliefs and convictions. Is this not a form of hate and/or harassment? Are you going to put all of your backing into Christian organizations now?" "How ironic is it that McDonalds is using the argument of hatred against anyone opposed their pro homosexual agenda. This is a thinly veiled attempt of disguising their hatred. Roxbury, CT." "Though I really like the Big Mac's and the snack wraps, I will have to refrain from eating them until McDonalds changes its policy on supporting the gay agenda and becomes neutral on the matter. It should not be too difficult though with so many other eating establishments out there. As a matter of fact, some people may find something they like better while on this boycott and McDonalds could lose their valued business forever. How sad!" "I am deeply disappointed with McDonald's stand against keeping marriage between one man and one woman. I will tell everyone I know not to support McDonald's." "Sorry but it's NOT a matter of hate as you're bosses would like to portray it. Homosexuality is simply WRONG. It doesn't matter how you want to redefine moral standards. The standards that have always existed will always exist, regardless of what mankind may try to do. Just because I may totally dislike what someone else does, that does NOT mean that I hate the person. That's just another line of baloney to try to excuse supporting something that is wrong." "Myself, my children and grandchildren will not be spending our money at your restaurants. My mother and 5 sisters have also expressed their disgust at your remarks." "As long as McDonalds supports the Homosesual agenda my family will not support McDonalds." "In supporting the gay agenda, and using its terms in your communications, you are clearly in violation of what GOD put down for us in HIS directions: the Bible. GOD did not say that it was okay for anyone to make up their own version of what HE said!" "You support of an immoral lifestyle and an complete lack of family values leaves me (and my family) with no choice but to stop supporting you and your company. I think you will find America has higher standards than you realized and you are out of touch with reality. I will spread the word to others!" "McDonalds I can't believe you would be so biased. Originally this same sex marriage thing was because they wanted equal rights. I believe if they want equal rights as a couple, call it a civil union and give them the same rights. A marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not the judge onle God is. Love the person hate the sin. That is the only hate thing we are about. I am sorry but during this tough economic time I am sure you are feeling the pinch like everyone else. I don't think you will appreciate it when you business drops down." "I take offense when this is being portrayed as hate related. It's not!!! We simply oppose same sex marriage. Since when did it change in this country that to have an opposing view on something automatically means you're a bigot,discriminating or hating someone or something?" "I really did enjoy taking my grand children to McDonald's. It is a real "Shame" that a business like McDonald's has to get involved in moral wrong issues. In no way is this a "hate" issue. Its about what's right and what's wrong. America does not need anymore companies doing whats wrong, we need companies setting an example as to whats right. This issue on SSM is wrong and no matter how many large corporations stand behind it, it is wrong and the only thing that will make it right is for the people in America to say "no" to this issue." "Your slogan used to be "You deserve a break today". You're right. I deserve a break from companies that support perverted lifestyles, like McDonald's. Hope you're prepared to live with your "courageous" decision. Goodbye." "What in the world is McDonald's thinking?! Didn't they appreciate their position as the #1 fast food eating establishment all these years? They have been an icon with my family of 10 and all of our children and grandchildren. In fact for as long as my husband and I can remember, we have even recommended them to others when we have been out and about on vacations and other various activities. Sadly now that they have chosen to mock traditional families and marriage, they will only be forcing all of us to consider fast food alternatives. Since McDonald's has obviously lost respect for us there is no point in continuing to patronize them." "I can not patronized your establishment knowing that you are in support of the gay/lesbian agenda. I'll plan to support your competitors. Dan" "My family eats at McDonald's twice a week. I am sorry but because you choose to take this position, I will not, will not eat in your resturants. I will take my business to chick-fil-a" "I truly regret the stand you have taken. My little granddaughter dearly loves McDonald's and it pains me to have to tell her we will no longer be eating there. But we won't. And let me tell you , I am not motivated by hate and I strongly resent your implication that I am. There are homosexuals in my close family and I do not hate them. I oppose same sex marriage for moral and religious reasons--matters you obviously have no clue about." "I was going to stay out of this fight because I believe that companies have the right to support whatever agenda they want to. However, I cannot support McDonald's if they choose to criticize me on my beliefs. I don't hate homosexuals at all. I don't condone homosexuality nor do I belive that a lifestyle should have special rights. By calling me a "hate"-r you have LOST my business forever McDonalds." "Standing up for what is right is not hate. God said that marriage is between a man and a woman. I will oppose this agenda but it is not out of hate it is because of God's Word." "Would it not be fair to say that McDonalds is biased since they choose which agendas they will support financially? McDonalds needs to stay away from supporting a select group of people. To be fair maybe this corporation needs to send equal funds to Christian organizations. That is, if they are not prejudice against Christians. I am through with McDonalds." "To say that opposing SSM is "hate" is ludicrious. The Bible clearly states it is sin and wrong. To give the NGLCC $20,000 IS the compnay supporting their effort to change the facts, it is wrong, period. It has nothing to do with living or working in the community and it is not discrimation. Until McDonald's withdrawls it's support, my family will boycott. You are not giving help to people who are without basic needs, you are trying to change culture and convince people what is wrong is right." "I resent McDonald's name calling towards others who don't agree with their immoral support of the gay agenda. If anyone is hateful, it's McDonalds." "McDonald's should stay away from social engineering until they have mastered the restaurant business." "You can be sure I have eaten my last meal at your company." "Our family will also vote with our wallets to show that we disapprove of the support of McDonald's for the homosexual political agenda. We are not advocating any kind of discrimination, but we are offended that the gay and lesbian agenda is being forced upon our society, against the will of the majority." "I can not patronized your establishment knowing that you are in support of the gay/lesbian agenda. I'll plan to support Chik-Fil-A and others alike." "It is not "hate." It is a stand for what is right. "Political correctness" in this matter is WRONG. My prayers go out to your corporate officials, and to your employees." "I am terribly disappointed in McDonald's for not taking a stand for family as God created it. I want what is best for the homosexuals also. They should be allowed the right to a job, the right not to be beaten up as a homosexual friend of mine has been in the past. I love my homosexual friends but when it comes to same sex marriage they are way off the mark and I hope that McDonald's will stay neutral in this matter. Speak up for the feelings of others when it come to not being harassed and to live a life able to find a job and friends just like everyone else. Until such time as McDonald's decides to remain neutral I will not be eating at McDonald's and I am advising my friends to do the same." "I am saddened to read that McDonald's position now accusing Christians of hatred. To paraphrase on of the fundamental Christian beliefs "Love the sinner, hate the sin". I cannot and will not give in to the belief that same sex marriage is right, and I stand by my right to oppose this agenda by not supporting McDonald's in theirs." "I'm a brand new grandparent and had been looking forward to taking my grandson to the McDonald's PlayPlace that every kid seems to adore. Sadly I will not be doing this as long as you continue to support the same-sex agenda." "You saw what happened to Ford Motor Company when it was boycotted. Are you prepared for the down hill financial run your corporation will do because of this stand you are taking!!! How can you sleep at night? Family values are very important to us. This nation was founded on it!!! God will have the last say in this matter!!!!" "Count me and my extended family out at Micky D's as long as you want to donate our burger money to the promote a gay agenda. I will go to Wendy's, Arby's, Burger King and better yet...Chick-fil-A, the folks who still close on Sunday." "The position that those who oppose same sex marriage are hateful is insulting to a majority of Americans, including myself and my family. I have to believe Ray Kroc would be saddened to see McDonald's taking such radical, anti-family positions." "I am very sad McDonalds that you have decided to promote the "gay agenda". Then on top of that, call those of us who believe in the institute of marriage, "Hate mungers". WOW, pretty sad. I don't hate anyone. In fact I love them and pray for them often. It can't be an easy or blessed choice of lifestyle. I will no longer choose McDonalds for my fast food wants. I will be praying for you, Luana" "McDoalds had been a family friendly place to take our kids and grandkids. Not any more, thanks to your spineless way of handling the homosexual pressure. No, I do not hate homesexuals, but I do hate their lifestyle and the way they want to convince everyone that it is right for all. My money and my kids & grandkids will go somewhere else where the air is easier to breath. Jonathan, Texas." "My family will no longer eat at McDonalds - Mark" "Family values are important to us. McDonald's, you have waid in on the wrong side of the Culture War. Be prepared to suffer the consquences, even as FORD did." "It's not "hate". It's love and concern that you would support a lifestyle which leads to death. It's not hatred to be concerned for a whole category of people whose eyes have been so blinded by a terrible enemy that they cannot see that the end of that road leads to destruction. What will you do Oh McD leaders when you have to stand before a righteous and just God at judgement day and explain your actions." "It is truly a sad time that McDonalds is entering into with the support of this choice to support SSM and the gay lifestyle. Now I will exercise my choice and go acroos the street to Chick Fil A to eat in a family restaurant. It will be ith glee as we watch McDonalds lose marketshare. I will informa ll my friends about this foolish and abomionaable choice by McDonalds. My granddaughter will thank me for the exercise of choice." "How disapointing is this? I can and will not support McDonalds at this point. An American Resturant????" "Why give $ to ANY sexual-preference group? That's my question. SEXUAL preference groups of any kind should not be getting $ period!!! Support a real cause- like helping world hunger or child abuse. I can find better places to spend my $ that at places that use their profits for non-humanitarian groups." "WE WILL NOT BE TAKING OUR 5 GRANDCHILDREN TO MCDONALD'S TO EAT AS LONG AS THEY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A LIFESTYLE THAT IS WRONG...GOD FORGIVES SIN AND THIS IS A SIN...HE MADE MAN & WOMAN TO LIVE AS MATES & HUSBAND & WIFE...HE WILL FORGIVE & FORGET...WE PRAY FOR YOU THAT YOU WILL CHOSE TO CHANGE TO WHAT IS GOOD, MORAL AND RIGHT." "It is nothing to do with hate or homophobia. It is just that you are not going to use profit from my support of McDonalds to promote the gay agenda... this used to be a family outlet, not a place to make a staement to support people who can not procreate because two same sex people can not produce families" "Until McDonald's drops its support of same sex marriage and the gay agenda, I will not cross the doorway of any of their establishments. If enough people stand up and refuse to buy their products maybe the negative financial implications will help change McDonald's mind." "I will miss my fish sandwiches but with the McDonald's attitude about homosexualality. I will go elsewhere. It is a matter of principle and I know McDonald's doesn't understand anything about principles." "What is wrong with your company, our families and friends will not purchase from you ever again" "I haven't eaten at McDonalds in many months. We would typically spend $20 a week. Hiring, serving is different-that is fine, but given $20,000, no way! I'll have nothing to do with it ever again and will tell every person I meet to do the same." "I and my family will be boycotting all McDonald's food chains due to your decision to uphold the homosexual agenda. We frequent your fast food business on a regular basis; however, with your recent decision to honor the homosexual agenda we will be eating elsewhere." "I am on the road quite a bit for my job, and McDonald's used to be my friend. Now I will only stop there to use the bathroom. JUST SERVE FOOD! Why do you feel the need to jump into the culture war?" "As a father of three young boys, I regret not being able to take them back to McDonald's. I hope to hear that you have changed your plans." "It is amazing to me that people actually think that it is acceptable and normal for people who are the same sex to be married. It defys every aspect of Religion and Science. When people point this out they are called bigots? haters? This is absurd! I would never never eat at Mc Donaldsanyway because their food is very unhealthy. But now i will make sure many more do not eat there as well. There are plenty of alternatives." "It is a real Shame, Ray Kroc would roll over in his grave to see what has happened to his company. My family will no longer eat at McDonalds. We will support business's that reflect the Majority of this country and the principles it was founded upon. LOOKS like Chick Fil A will double there business from us. Cpt Kirk" "I am not motivated by hate when I oppose SSM. As with my love for my son, I discipline him when he does not do what is right, not according to what my neighbour defines as right, but by my conscience based on my Judeo-Christian beliefs-and in the case of SSM, it is firmly against everything I consider to be right." "We live in a small town in PA but there are both a McDonald's and a Burger King. McDonald's has done a far greater business than BK but as of now, we will encourage everyone we know to stop frequenting this establishment. my husband is a pastor in this community and knows many people that like McDonald's, however unless this corp. decides to stop actively supporting and promoting the homosexual agenda, we will support and encourage a boycott." "Me nor my family will be eating at McDonald's as long as you are promoting the homosexual agenda. I will also be sending this to everyone I know." "This is not about hatred against the homosexual agenda and I believe you know that. It's about morality and family values. If you continue to support the homosexual agenda, I and many others will boycott your bussiness till you make a decent decision." "I am sorry, we will no longer be able to eat at McDonalds because of your support for a sinful lifestyle." "I will do my best to assure my friends and family do not patronize any McDonald's as long as the company actively supports the homosexual agenda." "I have always viewed McDonalds as a family friendly place where I could take my children to eat and play. However, because of McDonald's decision to support the homosexual agenda, which they have a right to do, my family will use it's right to go elsewhere to spend our money. We'll just eat healthier by eating more "Chikin" from now on!" "Dear McDonalds, How dare you accuse us, your loyal customers, of being motivated by "hate". You obviously don't know "us". We can disagree without that accusation. Homosexuality is an abomination, a sin, unnatural, perverse. Its crazy and doesn't make sense. It goes agains everything that God intended. We don't hate homosexuals. I love them like I would anyone else. If incest and rape became the "new norm" would you also buy a seat on that board? Wrong is wrong, period." T.Zdelar, Ohio" "My family and I, and my grandchildren, will be no longer be eating at McDonald's because of your support of the homosexual agenda of same sex marriage. Corporations should never be allowed to push a political agenda." "I will not eat at a Mcdonalds as long as you support ssm barney wilson" "I am dissapointed that McDonald's shows no backbone in standing up for decent families. I do not hate people, I feel sorry for them. They have no families without the opposite sex....guess why? God did not sanction that lifestyle. I hope every Christian boycots you. I can assure you my family will. McDonalds is not a place I want my family to do business with. Stay out of politics or go out of business." "Yet another corporation falls prey to the gay/lesbian agenda. I will no longer eat at McDonald's. My family will no longer eat at McDonald's. I will share information on this boycott with everyone who mentions McDonald's to me. I will be taking all my fast food business to Family Friendly Chik-Fil-A and suggest you all do the same." "Family values based on Christian principles are what built your company. Turning your back on them will be your undoing. You'll not get another dollar from me. Bruce in Texas: 3 daughters & 2 grandchildren (so far)" "I and my family will be boycotting McDonald's because of your dupport of the homosexual agenda of same sex marriage. Please be advised that I will choose other eating establishments. Thanks, Don Coombs" "I'm a regular customer of McDonald's but I do not believe they should be promoting or supporting a gay/lesbian agenda. And, if need be, I'll take my, and my family's business, elsewhere until they reconsider their position." "Hate no, principles and beliefs yes. This is culture war and I will not spend my money at McDonalds as long as they promote homosexuality. --- Jeff Payne" "I read:"Ellis was quoted as saying: "I'm thrilled to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce team and ready to get to work. I share the NGLCC's passion for business growth and development within the LGBT community, and I look forward to playing a role in moving these important initiatives forward." Well, Ellis (like McDonalds) is on his own. You folks are experts at making Wendys and others look very good. You will not see me anytime soon at Mac's. Meantime I will pray that the scales will fall from your 'value eyes'." "I will no longer buy from Mc Donalds. Also, my children and grandchildren will not be stopping and eating at McDonalds either. It's not about hate, I don't hate anyone, I just don't think you should verbally or in any other show support for the gay community. Remain neutral." "No more McDonalds for me." "I will no longer be a patron of McDonald's as long as you support the gay agenda. You have lost my business until you decide to remain neutral, not choosing to support either side. I am sorry." "McDonald's "NOT SO FAMILY FRIENDLY" stance has left my family with no choice but to take our business to Wendy's or Chick-fil-A. How disappointing that McDonald's would choose such a radical stance and still proclaim themselves a family establishment." "Our prison ministry team (Kairos) no longer has its breakfasts at a McDonald's restaurant, my wife and I drive out of our way to buy fast food at a non-McDonald's restaurant" "Well guy's now you have done it. way to go and give Burgerking and wendy's my business when I eat fast food." "McDonalds was founded on good old fashioned American, Christian values...please don't get caught up in the secular world for the reason of making profit. Thanks." "We no longer patronize McDonald's because of their position. If they choose to become neutral on this, we would consider changing our attitude about them." "For years McDonalds has been such a family oriented restaurant chain. I am greatly saddened to understand you have taken such a bold stance to promote such an anti-family group. One day everyone will have to answer for the decisions they made. There is a right and wrong. Morals are not gray or undefined. I do hope you will reconsider your position. Until then, my family will have to choose not to support your restaurant." "It is ignorant to think we hate gay and lesbians. We don't hate them. We don't like their choices but we care for them a lot. Don't distort the truth. Remain neutral in this political issue and stick to your business of selling burgers and fries. Don't push any political agenda! Stay neutral." "We are going to miss eating at McDonalds, but it is a small price to help clarify this issue with another misguided national corporation." "Please reconsider your support of the homosexual agenda of same sex marriage. Otherwise, I will have to choose other eating establishments. Thanks, Dorsey Sweat" "I resent your comments that I am motivated by hate. I have many gay and lesbian friends and they know me as a kind and loving person. I am not hateful. I simply believe marriage should be between one man and one woman and that is my opposition to same sex marriage. My gay friends know and understand my position. AND WE ARE STILL FRIENDS! Sylvia McGuire" "This news is incredulous! Why would you a huge corporation want to put your stamp of approval on an organization that flaunts their immoral lifestyle? Why would you want to not only put your stamp of approval on them but do so with monetary backing? McDonald's you have lost my business. I know you think that sooner or later we will all capitulate to your way but I hope that is not the case. I hope that our standing strong as a group who are against having this agenda force fed to our minds is not going to happen. You are no longer family friendly and I will not shop at your establishment here or anywhere! It is time we stood up and said, we do not want our nation's businesses cowtowing to those whose lifestyle is immoral and undergirds all our nation stands for." "my wife, children, and i really like your restaurant - but, you can not disrespect our beliefs and continue to earn our business. are you giving the same amount of money to those who feel the way i do? i assume not. please reconsider and remain neutral on the issue of sexuality. i don't think that is asking too much." "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HATE. I LOVE ALL OF GOD'S CREATURES INCLUDING YOU. BUT AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE A STAND FOR IMMORAL BEHAVIOR WHILE CARRYING ON THE PREMISE OF BEING A FAMILY RESTAURANT, MY FAMILY, A HUGE FAMILY, WILL NO LONGER BE EATING AT MCDONALD'S. WE WILL, HOWEVER, BE PRAYING FOR YOU." "McDonalds will NOT get any of my money any more!!!" "I will miss your company - but supporting the Truth - Jesus and what he taught - is far more improtant. Until you consider supporting organizations that positively contribute to family, I will not support your company." "I've been going to McDonald's since I was 16, which was 48 years ago, but I will not eat another quarter pounder. GUARANTEED !!!!" "It is very disappointing to see what promotes itself as a family oriented business choose to encourage radically opposing agendas." "No more Happy Meals, now it's "Sad Meals". Reason to eat elsewhere now!!" "While McDonalds, and any business, has an obligation not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or sexual orientation, I am disappointed in the corporate leadership and its failure in this regard to stay out of this debate. Goodbye Snack Wraps - I hardly knew ye!" "What a shame that senior executives are so ignorant to their true job....selling a quality food product to American families. I will be switching to Burger King myself in order to prevent my hard earned money from supporting such radical anti-family morals." "We no longer take our children to or eat at McDonalds, due to McDonalds lack of family values and morality. We now solicit other fast food restaurants that support family values. We have explained this to our children as well, since they were the primary drivers for eating at McDonalds and need to understand why they can no longer eat there." "No more McDonald's...Burger King for our family." "Do you know that there are over 30 sexual preferences/orientations ranging from Apotemnophilia to Urophilia? It is inappropriate that there should be heightened protections for any one particular sexual behavior. Freedom means exposure to contrary behaviors and ideologies, but it shouldn't mandate acceptance. That is LOSS of freedom." "I will NEVER eat in a NcDonalds AGAIN!" "My 3 kids love to eat at McDonald's but until you change we will no longer eat and support what you represent." "My husband and I were recently on a road trip, and had to choose a place to get breakfast. Guess what?? We didn't go to Mickey D's! We went to Wendy's, which business does NOT promote homosexuality. There is a difference between being tolerant of, and PROMOTION of a lifestyle. We choose not to support your decision and will not fund your activities by our patronage of your outlets." "So, another major company "bites the dust" (or "gets deeper into the dirt") by its refusal to separate itself from the issues that are destroying our families. The "NOT SO FAMILY FRIENDLY" McDonald's will not receive any business from this family. Maybe, if enough Bible-believing, pro-family Christians will join with me in not buying from McDonald's, perhaps they will re-evaluate their current decision to promote the homosexual lifestyle. Glenn Waters Bath, NC." "I am so disappointed in your decision to support the Gay & Lesbian agenda. There are SO MANY other organizations where your money would really make a positive difference. Our kids will miss your fries, and I will miss your iced coffee." "I eat there alot especially breakfast and I also take my grandchildren there, but no longer until McDonalds changes their support and public stand on homosexuals and will send to all my friends and they will do the same. I thought McDonalds was always a decent family business, but I will not longer support them." "Ray Kroc was a fantastic business man. With humble beginnings and an American Family, he never knew he had started an empire. Not him, not the creative management team that took it to the next level, and then the next. It wasn't the incredible Marketing team that was so ingenious to know how to sell and advertise to billions world-wide. It wasn't the chefs who perfected the Big-Macs, Quarter Pounders, Egg McMuffins or those Fantastic Fries. It was you. It is you the board members of this era, that chose not to stand up for what is right." "We eat there with our children all of the time. It is sad to no longer be able to take the kids somewhere they enjoy. But your lack of family values made the choice for us. There was not even a second thought about eating there ever again as long as the support for homosexuality comes from McDonald's." "I will not be giving McD's any future business. I do not wish my money to be used to support these types of values. I'll go to Burger King for my fries!!" "I recently spent some time out of the US and walking into a McDonalds made me feel as though I was back at home, proud of my country. I am so sad to hear that you do not represent the american family anymore. McDonalds will no longer feel "home" for my family and I." "I will no longer support McDonalds with any of my funds because of the support you show to the pro-homosexuality agenda. This is against all Family values." "No more senior coffees for my husband and me." "I will not be doing anymore business at McDonalds due to your support of the homosexual community. Patty Wolstenholm" "Since McDonald's chooses to suppor the gay agenda and not the "family" agenda - my family and I choose to not support McDonalds. We will be eating at Burger King and KFC." "How can such a "family-oriented" restaurant chain as McDonalds take such a stand for homosexuals since millions of children eat there a lot!" "My first visit to McDonalds was in 1963 when your facility opened in Tulsa. I have been eating Quarter Pounders for fourty-three years. It's over! Not one more penny from my pocket will be spent at McDonalds. I have influence with others. I will be using it to steer them away from McDonalds too." "Mr. Ellis, It is such a shame that you have led the McDonald's ship into this situation, I believe, a bias based on your own personal and private preferences. I will not be patronizing McDonald's again because of this. You should have maintained a neutral stance, which your stockholders will soon let you know in a definitive manner. Thanks." "I am sad to see that a company that promotes family is pro-homosexuality/gay/lesbian/transgender, which is not what God had designed for "family."" "McDonalds management may choose to actively support the gay agenda. I choose not to spend money there for them to use in that manner." "My husband and I have 12 children plus a couple of others that live with us. We are very disappointed that you have chosen to not put the family first in what is supposed to be a family restaurant. We are not asking you to choose sides, but rather to remain neutral. Since you choose not to, my family chooses to give our money to an establishment that does still value the family. I will also not stop at any of your restaurants on field trips or after sporting events that I drive the school or church bus for." "I cannot support your business if you support anti-family values." "How sad that a restaurant our FAMILY has always patronized is supporting an organization and lifestyle so anti-family. Unless and until McDonalds changes it's support of homosexuality, our family will not purchase anything at McDonalds." "I eat there with my children all the time. I meet friends with their children to play on the playground. I hate that I have to stop eating there but I have to stand behind what I believe. Please rethink your ways! Thank you." "McDonald's was the only fast food chain our family ever patronized. No longer, never another dollar to McDonald's. We will go to Wendy's from now on." "my large family and i will no longer patronize your sorry company." "I am so dissappointed to hear of your decision to support the gay community. This clearly tells us that you no longer support the family as you once did, but instead have chosen to undermine the family. My family and I will no longer be eating at your restaurant and will encourage others to do the same. Enough is enough!" "I am sure am proud to be able to choose Chic-fil-a instead of you guys anyway. See they are not afraid to promote family values or the Christian values that this country was founded on! Hey they even close their doors on Sunday! Way to go b/c I was tired of eating at your establishment anyway!" "You are a family establishment. AS a mother with 4 children, I can no longer support a company that is anti-family with their profits. L.Connell, Glen Arm, Md." "Mcdonalds is suppose to be a place to eat and enjoy your friends and family, not an institution to promote controversial and political issues. McDonalds has clearly decided that a major controversial issue is more important than providing food and atmosphere for the public. May I add that Mcdonalds is exactly that-a public place to eat, which has absolutely nothing to do with any political or lobbying agenda. Shame on you McDonalds. I will never eat at your place of establishment again!" "From its beginnings, McDonalds has courted and served the family, and children in particular, with safe playgrounds, happy meals, and the ever-smiling Ronald McDonald. I would have thought, therefore, that IF you made a controversial stand at all, it would have been for family and children. Publicly drawing a line in the sand in a divisive cultural matter forces your customers to choose which side to stand on. My family will no longer choose to eat at McDonalds." "You were always the 1st choice of our kids and we will certainly miss you. Maybe someday you'll discover that radical politics has no place in the boardroom. Until then - may you tighten your belts." "We will not be supporting McDonalds with our business as long as they support the homosexual agenda and same sex marriage." "In this struggling US economy it is sad and unfortunate to see an american icon take a stance to support immorality. We pray that your corporation recognizes it's error and does so quickly enough to survive the definite financial loss due to this boycott. This is most definitely not a wise business decision. JB" "My money will be spent with restaurants who listen to what the majority of the US wants and expects out of organizations that get our hard earned money" "I will stop patronizing McDonalds because of their corporate stand, and I will encourage others to do the same." "I am boycotting your establishments immediately. Your promoting this Gay agenda is contaminating the very moral fiber of our society. I am extremely disappointed. My family, including my large church family only support Corporations that push such a wicked agenda. What a shame that a once enjoyed tradition will end. You have made your choice and we have been left with a choice to go with the very moraly upstanding Corporation, Chickfilet. I will pray for you. You will reap what you sow, more than you sow and later than you sow. You truly are going to be in need of great prayer." "Gone to Wendy's & Hardee's" "I like Wendys better anyway. No more bigmacs!!" "We eat at McD's all the time because it is my kid's favorite not necessarily mine. But, since hearing about this, we will no longer spend any of our money to support your endeavors. If we spend our money @ McDonald's and that money supports homosexuals, it is like we are saying it is ok also. You are either with God or against him--there is no middle road. And this is definitely against God. I was looking for a good excuse to not feed my kids so much junk. Thank you for your poor decision." "I have been eating at McD forever my family and i will not eat there no more and will let otherrs know where you stand on distroying the family with suporting the gay rights" "It's the wrong thing to do....supporting the homsexual agenda. In clear conscience I cannot give my money to a company that I know does this. KR" "It's shameful and a sign of the times that the homo agenda be pushed down our throats ONCE AGAIN! I'm disappointed/angry that McDonald's has chosen this path. I will not support this agenda by boycotting McDonald's in the future. Let's return to doing the right thing." "As a Christian I love everyone but I cannot support McDonald's decision to support the gay community and blatently flaunt it in my face. I have eaten there since we were kids but no more. This really saddens me and I know it saddens God. I will pray for the lost. Good bye Mc Donald's. Please reconsider." "I cannot tell you how dissapointed I am that McDonalds has chosen to endorse this agenda by providing monies. I must in all good concience take my business elsewhere untill you stop supporting this particular group by donating monies and serving on the board. I will have to take my business elsewhere and will encourage my family and friends to do the same." "I eat @ McDonald's almost daily because of it's location near my workplace. The McDonald's of the past has always stood for strong morals and family values. The Bible speaks clearly on homosexuality. As a christian, I love the homosexual but I hate the sin. Therefore, I will not eat there unless your stand changes. I'm praying that you will know the TRUTH." "Part 4.. Hey Guys, I just got back from BK. The Whopper was great, and the fries really hit the spot!" "I've been a faithful customer of McDonalds since I was able to ride my bike and buy a hamburger for 15 cents. Now you've thanked me by slapping me and my family in the face by being active in the homosexual community and helping to destroy the traditional family. Count us out as being customers any longer." "Sad state of affairs...with so much competition, you will now lose my family's business." "I have five grandhildren who live in the same town as I do. They love McDonald's chicken strip meals but I will no longer buy them for the children and I will no longer eat at McDonald's myself. Burger King is just across the street and I will give them all my business." "Suport means approval. Since I won't condone the homosexual agenda I won't support you with my business either." "I believe a person has a right to choose his own lifestyle but the Gay and Lesbian movement goes too far in pushing their views on society. Therefore, My family of 8 and I will not be visiting McDonald's as long as the McDonald's corporation supports the Gay and Lesbian agenda with money or resources of any kind, refusing to remain neutral. I am also letting all my friends and extended family know about Mcdonald's refusal to remain neutral in this controversial issue." "My family and most of the families I have contacted concerning McD's support of the gay agenda, have stopped spending our hard earned money with a corporation that refuses to stand for what is right and moral. Goodbye Mickey d"S" "My wife and I are truly sorry that the McDonalds corporation has decided to support the abomination God speaks against in his Word. We will no longer be able to be patrons of your establishments until repentance comes to the McDonalds corporation and end your support of the sin of homosexuality. We will continue to pray for the members of the McDonalds corporation and those that are living in sin. John McCarthy, Fenton, MI" "I have boycotted several establishments over the years, but this one hits close to home. As the mother of 3 young children, we used to eat at McDonald's often. But when a "family" establishment begins to fund the undermining of the family by promoting homosexual marriage, we "families" take our money elsewhere. We'll miss you, but we'll get over it. J Madison" "I've eaten at McDonald's most of my life. I still like it better than all the other fast food establishments. I will no longer be eating there. it pains me, but at the same time I will probably live longer now!" "I am extremely dissapointed in your decision to support the gay community. I thought you were a family enterprise. I tell you now that my family an I will no longer patronize your business." "To the Senior Management of McDonalds, look into the past and see how the company was started, serving good fast food to hard working people. Why would you take such a political stand on such a controversial topic. It is not important to you if I agree or disagree with homosexuality and I feel the same about you, but the stand you as a team of supposedly inteligent, experienced, professionals have made a terrible mistake. You have chosen the all mighty dollar over the choice of remaining neutral. Extremly ignorant move, very disappointing. I will no longer support the Ronald McDonald House (of which I am a large contributor), I will no longer frequent your restaurants, and will discuss my disgust with my associates, colleagues, and family. IN & OUT BURGERS (A CHRISTIAN BASED COMPANY), you are going to receive a tremendous amount of business soon!" "Good thing that other restaurants have playgrounds for children. Like Chikfila and Burger King. That's who will be getting my money now." "I will not patronize McDonalds now or in the future. I will make all of my friends and family aware of your support of the homosexuals. BYE" "On average, my family spends $40 per week in your restaurant. I had NO IDEA that as a corporation you subscribed to activism. There is a Sonic next door to the Mc D's in my town. As long as I don't find out they are involved in your same endeavors, we'll be taking our business there instead. With regret, Lisa McKay" "McDonald's should have never supported something so anti-family! I will spread the word to everyone I know - my company, my church, my relatives, neighbors, friends, and as far as eating at the Golden Arches,...I'M DONE!!" "McDonalds management has the right to support the homosexual agenda regardless of how ill-advised (translate stupid) that decision may be. It amazes me that franchisees have not been alarmed by this course of action. They will suffer more as we frequent other fast food providers. Management will still reap their extreme salaries and bonuses. Sorry franchisees, we used to enjoy frequenting the Golden Arches! From Aurora, Colorado" "My family and I have stopped patronizing McDonald's because of their support of the homosexual agenda. We will be passing this information on to all of the people on our email list. Sincerely, Ernest & Julee Sparks, Vista, CA" "I am tearing up the recent coupon mailing from McDonalds and joining the AFA boycott. I will miss McDonalds but will console myself with Culver's, Wendy's, and Burger King. Carole Walker" "i will nolonger eat at mcdonalds . nor will my family ." "McDonalds has been a favorite of my family and my church for get togethers after church for many years. We will no longer meet at McDonalds simply because we want to support the Word of God which states that this act is against all God stands for. I pray for those who are confused and love them, but cannot support the sin they are in." "Homosexuality is not an inborn, natural orientation. It is a deliberate choice to live in sin. If it was as natural as what you're trying to make us believe, then homosexuals would be able to procreate and have children like themselves. I refuse to have you bully me and those of like-minded faith to accept homosexuality as valid. We will tolerate homosexuals but never accept their choice to live in sin as wonderful." "McDonald's has a place in the hearts of children from the last several generations. Abusing that iconic role, and using it to become a political and cultural spokesman is disappointing and unprofessional. I'm sad that my children will not know the fun McDonald's I grew up with, but instead a McDonalds that is nothing but an unhealthy fast food restaraunt that is nothing more than a front for pushing unhealthy values in a controversial culture war." "My family and I have eaten at McD's since the hamburgers were 15 cents, but now we no longer can buy your products due to your stand on homosexuality. I find it hard to believe that you, being a family oriented company have chosen to openly support this ungodly agenda. I know God loves the homosexuals but hates the sin that sets them apart from Him. Until you change your open stand on this, my family and I and every one of my friends that I have shared this with will not spend our money in your establishment. Please reconsider before it is too late to recover your business and reputation as a Family oriented restaurant. Mary Smith, Decatur,IL." "I am saddened with McDonald's uneducated and godless attempt to justify their stand on the homosexual agenda. It is not about hating the sinner, it is about hating the sin. Why can't society just read the bible and BELIEVE!? I will pray for them that they accept God's truth and God's laws." "I have 3 children and 9 grandchildren and we will all stop going to McDonalds until they cease their support of the homosexual community and gay marriage." "How sad another corporation gives in to a small minority of the population and promotes a lifestyle that is so inheritenly wrong. Those of us who believe in God as our creator know He will judge our human actions and it is not up to us to judge others; however, that does not mean we condone behavior that is wrong. An example is the Islamic extremists who feel they are right in killing. More examples are not necessary to list, it is sufficient to say McDonalds has chosen to support wrong...just as a couple of California judges decided to re-define the meaning of marriage. Homosexuality is not new, it is part of humanity since the beginning of time. That does not make it right. Wrong is wrong. Whatever one's sexual preference is, it does not matter...sin is sin, even among heterosexuals who do not follow God's laws. . ." "I'm disappointed with McDonald's use of the word, "hatred" to describe opposition to the homosexual agenda. I agree with AFA that no one is asking for discrimination against homosexuals or anyone else. But McDonald's "in my face" support of the homosexual agenda and careless disregard for Christian sensibilities is offensive to me. I love eating at McDs, but they're not the only show in town. I will honor this boycott." "This is very disappointing. That Mc Donalds actually uses its money to be a member of NGLCC, support it. It is one thing to remain neutral and hire and not discriminate against homosexuals, it is another to actually fund their cause. Our family has eaten at Mc Donalds for years. You are close by and its great for the kids. Not anymore. There are plenty of other fast food places to take the children where they enjoy themselves. For me and my family our money will not be spent to help fund NGLCC. My hard earned money is not going to be spent financing the NGLCC." "I believe what the Bible has to say about marriage. God designed marriage to be of one man and one woman, not the same sex. As a corporation it is important that you remain neutral. You have not. You chose to publicly financially support the gay marriage issues. We will not go back to any of your establishment and will encourage others to do the same until there is a change in your policy. S. Wilcher, Louisiana" "I was especially surprised and disappointed to here about McDonald's involvement in the gay/lesbian move. My grandchildren and I go often to McDonalds, but no more. We will go to other places that are more family friendly. I makes me sick to know that any of the money that I work so hard to earn is going to promote this particular issue." "I stopped eating at McDonalds when this first came out. My family does not eat there anymore and we are happy to eat at such places as Chik-Fil-A or Taco Bell. I have been encouraging my friends to take the same action. Charlie, Spring, TX" "McDonald's is my first choice in fast-foods. In fact, I just had lunch there yesterday. My family has patronized your restaurant for decades! Until you stop patronizing such groups as NGLCC, I refuse to patronize you." "How disappointing! Our family will no longer be eating at McDonalds. We are spreading the word to family and friends. McDonalds is blatantly targeting young children with their message. Parents will be forced to explain sexual preferences along with ordering a happy meal. Are there not other causes to support? Ones that kids can understand and are worthy of the same support?" "I am disappointed at the action of McDonald's to support the Gay Community. I will not be taking my family to McDonald's and I will encouaging others not to go to McDonald's. If there is a change in policy with McDonald's position I will likewise change. brother gale" "I will stop eating there. I used to go once a week, now I will go to Taco Bell or something." "Wow.....neutrality is necessary for any business that wishes to retain customers. Well, it looks like we will be treating our kids to something other than Chicken McNuggets and fries when they want to go out..." "Boy, you really shot yourself in the foot (financially) on this move. We have already started our boycott, as soon as we heard about your stupid move(about a month or so ago.) Robert, Paola, KS" "supporting gays and lesbians is wrong. God intended for a man and woman to love as a couple, not same sex. I will not be eating at anymore of your restaurants. R. Bladen, North Carolina." "We will no longer trade with you because of the stand you have taken. We will try to discourage others to do the same. N Gazaway" "There are plenty of other places to take the kids on the weekends. You won't be using any of my 'resources' for your new agenda! When you regain your family friendly image, we will consider coming back." "I will no longe purchase anything fron McDONALDS and I will get others to do the same" "We are a family of 5 that will not eat at McDonald's while they support non-traditional family values that help children grow up emotionally & psychologically strong. What a shame to now see Ronald McDonald in a new light. Honeycutt, North Carolina" "You do have competitors and I will do business with those who support traditional family values. I do not hate homosexuals. I hate the sin that harms them - physically, emotionally, and spiritually." "I eat at McDonalds OFTEN, but if the company continues in the direction it is going, there are a lot of other places That are as good and as cheap." "We are sorry that McDonalds has chosen to take a stand for supporting the homosexual agenda. We have made McDonalds our most frequented fast food stop for many years. No longer. Now we are choosing other places to eat, even when a Cheesburger sounds especially good." "I have been to McDonalds ever since I was a child. As a matter of fact, it is only one of the few fast food places that my family has ever gone too. But that has all changed. As a parent, I have to protect my children and this is certainly one thing we will not stand for. My whole family has decided to boycott. There are plenty of other fast food places to frequent nowadays. Wendy's is sounding better all of the time!! Independence, KY" "I am disappointed that McDonalds is supporting the NGLCOC, and urge that the corporation remain neutral in the issues of one man, one woman marriage. I will not patronize MCd's as long as the present policy exists! George Wiland Tulsa OK 74133" "I will miss McD's. But I can't support teaching children gay is "normal"!!" "shame on you !!I will boycott and encourage my entire family to do so also. Look what happened to K-Mart." "No more McDonald's for me and my family!!!! Homosexuality is an abomination to God, damnation of civilized society, the ruin of great countries (if you disagree you do not know the Bible or history very well). NO MORE McDONALD'S for us..if we want fast food there are too many other places to go eat that offers good food and does NOT advertise, support or be part of such perverted evil." "It is so disheartening to see our Country going down the drain... to see some big corporations, the media, TV shows, movies, ETC., ETC.! give in to immorality! Rather than encourage and condone this immoral behavior, McDonald's and others should instead genuinely be concerned about homosexuals' wellbeing, should be concerned for their very souls. The devil has indeed taken the high ground in our Country - we see it more and more. As Fr. John Corapi says: "THE HOUR IS LATE!....WAKE UP AMERICA!" We had better wake and in a hurry!! And as he also so eloquently puts it with now homosexual marriages being legalized in California," "McDonald's has recently closed it's store here in our small southeast Arkansas town in order to build a new and larger facility scheduled to open in a few months. I was very much looking forward to patronizing the new McDonald's in our small town of limited dining options. How disappointed I am that I can't, in good conscience, give my hard-earned dollars to a corporation that actively promotes the homosexual lifestyle and its harmful political and social agenda. When there are so many other positive causes to which McDonald's could lend its influence and support, why support a movement that seeks to undermine the freedoms and quality of life enjoyed by the millions of families. . ." "Shame on you and shame on those who still buy from you. It's time to say goodbye to my favorite fast food restaurant (McDonalds had been my first choice for quick meals up until now)" "HOW SAD TO SEE THIS ONCE GREAT COMPANY FALL TO SUCH A LEVEL OF DISGACE. MY GRAND CHILDEREN WILL NO LONGER BE A PART OF MCDONALDS I ASSURE THAT!" "I live in Ocala FL and can remember when the 1st McDonalds was opened. I have always loved the golden arches and have chosen McDonalds most of the time even over Burger King.. I am boycotting you because you blatently support homosexuality.. Evidently you do not care what the people think, that has been buying your food.. Well wake up before it is too late for you to recoop your loses. I believe there are enough people that will oppose you and stop buying your food... I know you will not get another cent of my money to support your agenda.. Does this sound hostile? I am sick and tired of the political correctness of this country that has forgotten God and high moral standards.." "I am very disappointed in your support of gays and lesbians --think about the impact on the children. Are you more interested in the money than the family structure?" "McDonalds is a food service company. Why should the corporation think it has the right to promote a social agenda that is contrary to the majority opinion of its customers. It is ok for individuals to do this but not for corporations unless that is their business. Does McDonalds believe it has the right to speak for its shareholders, employees and customers on such a contraversial social issue? McDonalds should not be involved in this issue at all. It chose to do so to its detriment to the extent I can do anything about it." "Now this really saddens my heart to see this take place within McDonalds. There are so many other causes that are worthwhile supporting that actually benefit and improve humanity....why support something that is destructive and perverted? But, we can't bend the knee to such irrational pressure. I too will join the ranks of letting McDonalds know that we cannot accept this. I hope they wise up to their folly in this." "What happend to helping children and their families with illnesses? We are boycotting McDonald because you are putting our money into supporting homosexuallity." "My family will no longer be considering McDonald's as family friendly place to eat and will not frequent your restaurants until your position has changed regarding the full support of your corporation for the homosexual agenda. I will work to promote this boycott, as your position is very controversial and anti-family." "I have always taken my 9 yr. old granson to McDonald's. I am very upset about the stand you are taking against our country's families. I have not eaten at McDonald's since I first heard of your public stand on gay marriage. I would hope you would see what this stand will do to our country. Sincerely, Cindy Bullard" "I VERY disappointed about McDonalds choosing to not remain neutral in the homosexual culture war. I will not be eating there until their policy changes." "i am very disappointed in your organization. we spend a lot of money every year at one of your locations but we will not be doing so in the future as long as your current agenda does not change." "McDonalds and their "Happy Meals" have been a favorite for my 9 and 11 year old children, and a big part of my childhood growing up. Therefore I'm personally saddened to see them take an active position in the homosexual agenda. I will no longer do business with them under their activist position, and must now explain to my children how McDonalds' choice to promote an anti-Biblical practice requires us to make a choice in not supporting them." "Because of your insistence of support the gay/homosexual lifestyle I choose not to patronize the McDonalds corp." "I am so disappointed in your decision to back the homosexual agenda in this country. God did not create this "alternate lifestyle." He abhors this behavior in those he loves. We will no longer be McDonald's customers!" "How disappointing! I ate at MacDonald's as a child, and took my own 2 boys there for years. As far as I'm concerned, there is no more McDonald's. No one in my HUGE family will ever eat there again! HOpe your gay couples will have enough children to keep your stores open!!!!" "I love your coffee, burgers and breakfast burritos. But your advocacy of the homsexual agenda is appalling. I won't be back until you come to your senses." "We live in a society that is quickly eroding. In just a few short decades we have gone from the Bible being a staple in every classroom, to gay pride rallies and homosexual unions. My family values mean more to me than your hamburgers. We have plenty of other fast food restaurants to choose from and will patronize the ones that choose to use their profits for the good of our nation. The sin of homosexuality will be punished one day. I only hope and pray that the eyes of this nation will be opened that they may see what a destructive and sinful lifestyle this is. Dana, Kentucky" "I am highly disappointed and disgusted that McDonalds has chosen to abandon family values and support what will be the demise of our country. With so many charities that could benefit from support from McDonalds, it is literaly disgusting that they have chosen to support a cause that so morally wrong. I have already abandoned purchasing anything from those businesses that openly support the gay/lesbian revolution- McDonalds is just the next one that will never get one red cent from me again!" "Neutral is OK, Gay Lesbian support is not OK. Sorry to see this. Have eaten at McDonalds all over this world, Russia, Europe, etc. Won't support your decision! Praying for you Richard Ellis." "Sorry MacDonald's...it is one thing to 'not discriminate' but quite another to support the Gay Agenda in this country which is anathema to traditional families in America. i am disgusted to see such an American icon becoming another adversary to the most fundamental aspect of what has made America strong since it's inception...the family." "I am disappointed in the stand that McDonalds has chosen to take. Our church recently went to summer camp with over 30 youth. We choose to eat at Wendy's only due to the stand that you have taken. Please reconsider your stand and choose to stop your support of supporting homosexuality! Sincerely Lawanda Winn" "It breaks my heart in two to hear of an establishment whose primary customers are children and young people to guide them into the destructive and desertland of the homosexual lifestyle. GOD HELP YOU, McDonald's! I beg you to stop your efforts immediately. I will be encouraging ALL of my family and friends to boycott your establishment until you discontinue this behavior. For your sake and our children's, I PRAY you reconsider your actions and the profound affect they have. Jana in Huntsville AL" "Not only will my three children not be eating at McDonald's again until they stop this support, but there is a huge community uprising over this issue!" "My family and I normally eat at McDonald's 3 to 4 times a week. We will not be now." "I have been eating at McDonald's for years including when I was a kid and now my children. I will no longer be choosing McDonalds. I am appalled to learn of McDonalds support of homosexual agenda. My family is Christian and support Christian morals and values. Homosexuality goes against everything Jesus teaches. I am very disappointed in McDonalds and Mr. Ellis." "I make a habit of not eating at McDonald's because of their questionable quality of food, however I applaud their support of human rights for all. I will now find something I can purchase to support them." "I too, will no longer purchase food from McDonalds, and will encourage co-workers, friends and relatives to do the same. McDonald's used to represent family values, now you are only concerned about your profit margins, which will now only be negatively afected by your support of the unnatural gay and lesbian "lifestyle"." "These are unsettling times in our culture, and I am sorry to see that McDonald's is aiding in the confusion. I would much rather see them supporting a better cause. Catherine Honeycutt, Concord NC" "History has shown that sexual perversion and homosexuality destroyes nations. Why are you so set on destroying America? Homosexuals are no different from alcoholics and drug addicts. It is all about life choices. They are all roads that lead to denial then heart ache and destruction. I wouldn't wish these consequences on anyone. It is about choices. Please reavaluate yours. I sure miss McDonalds. Keith, Florida" "It is a major disappointment to the Country that McDonald's would choose to support the gay and lesbian agenda. You are supporting a corrupt agenda made up of approximately 10% of the population, having turned your back on the rest of society that supports you. How disappointing that you have abandoned the values of this Country and of those that have supported you for many years. R. Rogers, North Carolina" "Boy!! Have you gotten off track from where you started!!! I am a Grandmother of 12 and Great Grandmother of 2. Needless to say, McDonald's became a household word; BUT no more, we will spend our time at Wendy's, Hardees, or Chick Fe Lay. I am very disappointed in your stand that you bave taken to support the Gay and Lesbian Group. Good Bye, McDonalds. We (ALL OF OUR FAMILY) will never be in your restaurant again!!" "I cannot in good conscience bring my grandchildren into one of their favorite restaurants -- and most certainly one of mine too! -- knowing that McDonalds has willfully abandoned its commitment to American family values of decency and respect for our American way of life! This action by McDonalds is not an affirmation of principle; it's an abdication of principle! SHAME ON YOU! I am a Vietnam Veteran, and I will not return to McDonalds ever again under these circumstances." "I too have eaten McDonald for many years... not any more." "I am appalled at Mcdonalds agressive position,how disappointing that Mcdonald's is abondoning the family values millions of Americans hold dear. I usually have 10 Big Macs a day but now am going to Burger King for some whopper meals instead C.Jessup,Greensboro N.Carolina" "I will no longer be a customer of McDonald's as a result of their support of the homosexual community. As a mother of six I take very seriously where I spend my money. This decision my McDonald's disqualifies them from our menu choice completely." "McDonalds has stepped over the line and will lose more straight people than the gay people it hopes will patronize their business. So long McDonalds, you received my last penny." "I have gone to McDonald's for as long as I can remember. Things have changed now. I will not be stepping into a McDonalds again unless McDonalds remain's neutral in this gay agenda. McDonalds has strived and made their money from traditional families & marketing to traditional families. It is a sad day when McDonalds loses its moral compass. G. Cantu, Illinois" "My first job was at McD's. As a family we went to McD's. I grew up thinking it was a familiy oriented establishment. As the director of a Christian preschool I arrange our Spirit Night fund raising events at our local McD's. To set the record straight, I am not saying that I hate gay people. Quite the contrary! As children of God they are to be loved and protected as much as any other human being should. It is the chosen lifestyle that I do not agree with or see as an 'alternate'. I believe that McD's should remain neutral in this issue and not aggressively support and promote the gay lifestyle. It is a marketing nightmare! Some one was not thinking clearly when this action was chosen! I will not be visiting McD's or scheduling any more of my fundraisers with McD's until I know that the membership in NGLCC is renounced and the support for the gay agenda is ended. . ." "I have been a supporter of your Ronald McDonal house in the past but CHOOSE now I withdraw my support. If you CHOOSE to have money to support such an organization as gay and lesbian agenda pushing then you have money to support Ronald McDonald House on your own." "McDonald's,of all places, should be "family friendly". It's very disappointing to realize that this corporation is actively promoting an agenda that is contrary to traditional family values." "By reaffirming your support for the gay agenda, you show us that traditional family values means nothing to you, and therefore me and my family, who like to have take out on the weekends, will skip Mickey D's as we have been doing since we first learned of your pro-gay policies. As a Christian, we cannot knowingly spend money with a company that has taken an immoral stand. Mary Mitchell" "I live very close to McDonalds and was proud of the way they supported the schools and other activities but not this so I will no longer go to McDonalds. I will miss them but there are other places to eat even though they are further away and the price of gas is high. They could have supported other programs without tearing the family apart." "How disappointed I am to hear of your support of the gay and lesbian community. I will never take my grandchildren or myself to your establishment again. I will encourage my children to do the same. SHeila Webb. Texas" "Having eaten at McDonald's for as long as I can remember, I am sad to say, never again. A company that will go against the value of its primary customers to support the homosexual agenda is a poor business. McDonald's choice will cost it the majority of its business. I will encourage my family and friends to boycott McDonald's also. Mary Hinder Lakeland, Florida" "It is a shame that a business has to support the homosexual lifestyle. The money donated to the GLCC could have been used to feed the hungry." "There will be no more happy meals for the children and grandchildren in my family. McDonald's choses to support nonChristian and immoral ways. These are antifamily. I cannot raise my family to spend money we work hard for in a restaurant that choses to send money to gay and lesbian organizations. I have been a customer of McDonald's for 40 years and therefore feel that it is my right to let you know how I feel. I am very serious when I boycott a business. When I say that I will boycott a business I do." "McDonald's, we will be leaving shortly for a vacation in New York. We will be driving both ways. We will not stop at your restaurants on this trip nor any other time as long as you support the gay agenda. That agenda seeks to undermine marriage and the family. Please reassess what you are financially supporting. I speak for a large family and I am a teacher which puts me in contact with many, many people. I will be telling everyone that I can of your irresponsible decision. DG, Missouri" "To McDonalds Corporation, I was very disappointed that you chose to get involved in the political arena to avocate for the homosexual agenda. Our family does not agree with the Homosexual lifestyle and the many harmful choices they make. There is no valid evidence that this lifestyle is at all genetic! We will not be eating at your restuarant until you change your position." "It's a fast food company not a propogators of morals. To base your consumer choice on morals and not the quality of the product is kinda silly, but whatever - thank God that like you, McDonalds has first amendment rights." "I Will not go to McDonald's until you change your ways and go back to an all-american value. I can't believe you would do this and support the homosexual agenda" "Shame on you....hate that we won't be dining there anymore to support your position" "Ronald McDonald is crying. Ray Kroc is probably turning in his grave. I don't go to McD's much, but now I am quite sure I will not go." "Unfortunately, our family will need to end our trips to McDonald's until you end your support of the homosexual agenda. A "family restaurant" need not link itself to such a controversial effort." "We're very disappointed at the position McDonalds has taken regarding the homosexual agenda and will join the boycott. Most sincerely, Mark and Lynn Dittmar" "I don't participate in boycotts. However, McDonald's decision to support an organization dedicated to "waving the flag" of positive promotion of a negative and ungodly lifestyle will surely enter more than one conversation. As a member of the media, I know the value of publicity - good and bad. So does Mr. Ellis. There are many things you can choose to support, and when you tie a longstanding family eatery to something as divisive as the homosexual rights agenda, you should prepare for the backlash and keep your resume' handy. Dan D., North Carolina" "I've actually been boycotting McDonald's for the last 4 months - ever since first finding out about this. I am glad to see McDonald's actions are getting some of the attention they deserve. Until McDonald's figures out that its core business is food and not lifestyle promotion, we won't be going back." "I honestly can't understand why you would compromise such a family oriented corporation by singling out a group of individuals that have an unhealthy lifestyle and demand they be given preferential treatment.Why can't we all be given special treatment? I am deeply saddened by you decision." "McDonalds, like so many others in this country, is a huge disappointment. I will be taking my business to Chick-fil-a instead, a company that has always stood for Christ." "I am so disappointed that McDonalds has chosen to take this position in support of homosexuality. We will no longer search out the "golden arches" for a meal for our family." "McDonalds has made its fortunes primarily off of families with children. If they feel the need to vigorously offend their primary customers, then their customers have the moral obligation to remind McDonalds who we are and what we stand for. It's way past time for the "silent" majority to speak up on important moral matters across our nation." "I have enjoyed eating and coming to McDonalds my whole life. I was born in 1955, the same year McDonalds was founded, and usually eat there numerous times a month. However, I will not stand by and support your establishment with it's stand regarding the gay agenda that your corporation now is supporting. I will truly miss eating my double cheeseburgers, cherry pies and fries. You have made a bad decision, both morally and financially. Aloha McDonalds." "Perhaps you believe the boycott of McDonald’s by families will subside after a brief time; allowing you to continue unhampered with your radical reversal in family values. Your actions make a mockery of the many good things you have supported in the past for American families. You would do well to remember your stockholders are among the families learning McDonald’s is promoting the homosexual lifestyle through membership and active support of the Gay Pride Parade. I’m sure glad I no longer own any of your stock! IM – Dallas, TX" "It is very disturbing to hear that a business such as McDonald's that was always considered a family oriented place is now actively supporting the homosexual agenda." "I don't and Won't patronize McDonalds,EVER" "McDonald's can keep their Happy Meals b/c my young son would rather do the right thing than support McDonald's ill-guided endeavors. Same sex attraction is one thing (many feel it but don't act on it) but homosexual activisim and the support of it by large household and corportate names such as McDonald's is completely another---one that is unacceptable." "I have enjoyed McDonalds hamburgers for decades but as of July 09, 2008, It is finished! No more Mc Donalds for me or my family. Moreover, I will certainly spread the word that MD supports same sex marriage. A friend of the world is the enemy of God." "My family is no longer patronizing McDonald's. I have told all my friends about the support McDonald's is giving to NGLCC. Wheather you want to hear it or not, homosexuality is sin and a stench to God. Please repent, before it is too late. Jesus died for all your sins and will save you and cleanse you from sin, if you will repent." "Don't blame your profit losses on the bad economy when this comes back and hits you in the pocketbook. It's your own bad decisions in promoting and supporting immorality. There just might be enough of us out there that fear God and love righteousness to get your attention. The thing that I really hate is that a lot of your franchises are owned by God fearing people who are against your homosexual agenda and this will hurt them also, such as a McD's owner in our hometown whom I have great respect for because of his strong Christian values, neverless, I will join the boycott and pray God blesses him with another franchise and he disconnects from you. You would have served your nation and your company better by not taking sides in this matter. Just remember, you drew the line. Shame on you McDonald's. "C" Columbia, Tn" "No more McDonald's for our family.Not staying neutral on homosexuality is a big mistake on the part of the suits at McDonald's." "We've have been customers for McDonals since it first arrived here in Ind. and it seems to me that an agenda like this, they would want to be netural. Consideration should be given to those who's views are opposite of others. This is discrimination pure and simple, when one uses their position from an corporation to further their beliefs or cause. We all know their (corporations)main objective is making shareholders happy and making profit... I or my family of 8 won't be going there any more I sorry to say.." "You have lost me as a customer forever!" "It is very odd that McDonald's would chose to take a stand on a 'sexual preference' issue. They are in the hamburger business, not the business of promoting homosexualism. At least thats what I USED to think. As long as McDonald's takes this approach, I will take the approach to not take my kids there any more." "Shame on you McDonalds. You should support the sanctity of a marriage between a man and woman as God intended." "I a sorry you feel as a Corp you must support the gay agenda, it is not diversity, they are not a culture unto themselves; their culture did not come here to build America when it was young and become part of the melting pot. They have the same advantages as every other citizen, they don't need special privileges. I have 12 grandchildren to protect from this "diversity - we will no longer be going to McDonalds." "I'm very diappointed, I will no longer go to mcdonalds" "I am concerned that McDonald's is not more responsible in terms of its support of homosexuality. The life span of those that engage in behaviors associated with homosexuality is severely truncated. Our youth and nation deserve to know the truth. Thank you." "I am sure Ray Kroc would not be happy with this missuse of what he built! I just changed resturants! I will be supporting FAMILY run local resturants in the future. This evening I ate at a resturant run by a Korean FAMILY." "Why are you supporting this? Our family consistently visits McDonald's 5 times a week. We will not go again until you renounce your gay support."" "I HOPE YOU GO BROKE" "I am so upset that McDonald's chooses to support the NGLCC. I absolutely will not support McDonald's by any means. I will not ever take my children there again. You are setting the wrong examples for our children so as a mom with Christian beliefs and morals, I will do all that I can to inform all of my family and friends of where McDonald's priorities are and ask them to join me in this boycott!" "The traditional FAMILY got you where you are today. WE made you millions, now you literally bite the hand that feeds you." "From the company that uses it's website to discuss nutrition, health, wellness, and quality, and who gives us the incredible Ronald McDonald, this news is disconcerting. It's very simple. Since McDonald's chooses to share their profits with organizations whose agenda actively supports gay parades and gay marriage, then no more of my money will go to McDonald's." "I am very surprised that McDonald's has chosen to actively support such a controversial issue as homosexuality. Why not aggressively support marriage and family values? I have been trying to wean myself off of Micky D's for awhile now. Now not only will I be eating healthier, but I will not be supporting values that will help to destroy our family units." "I have gone to McDonald's for years. But that will not be the case now that you are aggressively supporting the homosexual movement & have abandoned family values. Shame on you. Denise Soule'" "McDonalds--- HOW SAD!!Just one more business that does not value morality. They will not get my business again. Susan , Arizona" "I'm totally disappointed in McDonald's support of the gay agenda. Until things change, I and my family will not be eating at Mcdonald's. By saying my family it includes my wife and I our 6 children and 6 grandchildren, my brothers family including his wife and their children and their grandchildren that number 14, my two sisters and their families that number 24. All of us are contacting our friends to be a part of this boycott. I guess Burger King will benefit from your choice to support this perversion. Scott Boettcher" "It's a no - brainer. Don't endorse things that are offensive to so many of your customers. I've eaten at Mac Donald's almost every day for years. I've suddenly lost my appetite for it." "I will no longer be stopping & eating at McDonalds; as I will not support a company whom strongly goes against my morals, what would I be teaching my children?" "I will no longer be eating at McDonald's. Hello Jack in the box, and Wendy's" "Most Americans consider the homosexual agenda and lifestyle as a sick perversion of human sexuality. McDonald's shows no concern for the religous views of the majority of Americans who believe in the Judeo-Christian morality. You have alienated most of the American people, and you will certainly pay the consequences of your lack of consideration. Homosexuals and lesbians have the right to eat and work at McDonald's, certainly, but they do not have the right to flaunt their perverted lifestyle before the American people. What's next? Is McDonald's going to support the bestiality and bigamist lifestyle also? Suddenly I lost my appetite for a Big Mac." "I'm so disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will no longer be taking my family to your restaraunt while you continue this support!" "I am already not a supporter of fast food in general but MC'ds is my usual stop when I am traveling...this ends now...It is one thing to hire people who do not share christian values, because not everybody has a relationship with Christ, which is important...but everybody on this green earth needs to make a living somehow. on the other hand I think it is sick that of all the things this corp. has supported and created in the past...places my youth group have served at such as ronald mcdonald houses....A. why would you insert yourself into a social war when you have not in the past, B. why would you alienate the values of the organizations that are the hands, feet, and volunteer support of your chilren's organizations...this is depressing...as said before...look at Ford and other boycotted companies...falling @ 10% or more every month...year by year....you may want to think this over again McDonalds. (concerned in TN)" "I am a regular @ McDonald's for breakfast & lunch, but I will be taking my business elsewhere, and will be prompting others to do the same! What made you decide to get out of the fast food business, something you have done very well, and take this risky position concerning the homosexual agenda? You are risking many of your employees jobs as this will most certainly affect them as well....shame on you!" "Considering that McDonald's is a large corporation, you would think common sense would keep them from making such a financially stupid decision. Mr. Skinner needs to consult with FORD CEO Bill Ford and ask him how many billions of dollars were lost by his company simply because we stood up and took a firm stance on what we believe in most. FORD still has not recovered, nor may they ever recover! If a leading worldwide auto manufacturer can suffer greatly from financial loss and a degraded reputation, how much easier will a major fast food chain (McDonald's) lose out? I have a multitude of friends and relatives (and their children and grandchildren) spread all across the U.S. who will all be boycotting your restaurants. Is it worth it, McDonald's? McDonald's also actively promotes and seeks out the hiring of illegal aliens to staff its restaurants. . ." "My family and I have not eaten at a McDonald's since we first learned of your pro-homosexual stance. We will continue to support other food establishments such as Wendy''s because they support all types of families (adoption) and education(scholarships), instead of a lifestyle. Joan J., Louisiana" "None of my 4 children or my 10 grandchildren will be going to McDonalds again until McDonalds goes back to being neutral with the recognition of homosexuals." "It is too bad that you have forgotten the family type of people that made you what you are today. This not only a bad moral decision, it is a bad business decision. I'll bet more "family" customers have kids and grandkids than gay rights customers. And from what I have read, they have made their stand. Good bye mcdonalds, hello Wendys, Whataburger and others." "Its hard for me to believe that a company that owes its existence to the Traditional family, would take a stance such as this, and as for me and my family we will no longer be spending our money at your establishment." "I am so disappointed that McDonald's would choose this path. I will miss frequenting McDonalds." "I'm surprised and disappointed in McDonald's. All I can say is later for you!!!!" "I started reading the comment boxes but then wondered how many there were. Wow! No more sweet tea, french fries, no more McDonalds." "I'm sorry to hear of McDonald's position on this. They make the best french fries in town and have a wonderful play place for my grandson. I'll miss them both, as I won't be returning to McDonalds. There are other places, like Chik-fil-A that do support my values. They have a great play yard and great chicken sandwiches, too. My money will not be used to support an anti-family agenda." "I take my grandkids to McDonalds all the time. I won't be able to do so since McDonalds has decided to take such a pro stand for such a controversial issue. They have a right to do so and I have a right to make a the decision I am making. McDonalds is a place for children so why do you take a position on a lifestyle that can't produce children to enjoy your restaurant?" "Because McDonald's has chosen to spit in the face of the traditional family customers-mother/father with children-which make up most of your customers, not the homosexuals. I have chosen to never spend a dime of my hard earned money at your establishment. Why is it that you want to cave in to a very small portion of the population, about 2% to be exact? I hope that this boycott will show you how much you depend on the thaditional familyfor you business. If it were not for the traditional family you wouold be out of business." "McDonalds has always been a family place to eat. Children do not need to be exposed to the gay lifestyle through your establishments. I am ashamed that this company has chosen to support gay marriage and not remained neutral on the subject." "I love Big Macs and fries, so does my 3 year boy, but tonight we had no choice but to go to Burger King. This family will not give its support to a company who so openly supports the homosexual agenda." "I've not been in a McDonalds since your decision to promote the Gay lifestyle and I will encourage others to do the same. You're success has been based on being family friendly and now you abanden it. Good bye." "I have grandchildren, and because of McDonald's embracing the homosexual agenda, they will never know what a happy meal or any other meal is at McDonald's. I am disappointed. Frankly, I am now wishing only negative financial growth for this company. Hope someone will come to their senses and pull out of this support for homosexuality. It does not belong in a corporation which involves children. Shame on McDonald's." "Do we really need another playground for the representation of the gays and lesbians? Where do the straight adults children get to eat and play? Let me see, where can I take my grandchildren now since it will no longer be McDonald's." "I can't believe that McDonald's in not more sensitive to everyone. We chose to go to Wendy's this week in support of the boycott; even though we would have normally gone to Micky D's. If they don't change their policy, I don't care if I don't ever eat a big Mac." "In and Out here we come!!! My kids are happy to no longer attend a favorite restaurant." "WalMart learned it's lesson. I guess you will have to learn yours. We have given up McDonalds foods. I have shared with my children why McDonalds has decided to stop supporting traditional families- even in the face of overwhelming evidence that a Mommy and a Daddy are the best for raising children. As a Teacher I am appalled that McDonalds wants to throw in the towel on normal families.... Don Deal Pea Ridge, AR" "I USED to think that McDonald's was "family- friendly," and family oriented. I no longer do, and I'm spreading the word!" "I will encourage everyone I know to stop purchasing any McDonalds products. My company has always purchased gift cards from McDonalds. That is promptly coming to an end. Wake up McDonalds!!" "I am very, very disappointed with McDonald's. I eat there two to three times a week. However, that is going to stop due to your desicion to support homosexuality. Please reconsider your position on this matter. Until you do I will not eat at McDonald's and will encourage others not to also." "As long as you support the gay agenda, my family of 7 WILL NOT be supporting your business! Please rethink your decision." "I have four children, 11-6 years old, and a very large,close knit extended family. This family unit alone totals over 160 people. At our last gathering it was interesting to note that we had almost all, independently, decided that our families' needs and preservation would best be served by no longer financially supporting McDonalds and their twisted, anti-family ideology!" "I have eaten at mcdonalds all over the world but since learing of their support of the so called gay and lesbein agenda I refuse to eat at Mcdonalds again. They will not get any money from me as I travel from Okla to N.C. this summer. I did like their coffee and chicken sandwiches Frank" "My family and I will not be eating at McDonald's in our hometown or anybody else's hometown anymore until they renounce this latest stand. I'm ashamed of the McDonald's Corporation!" "I too am disappointed on the position McDonald's has chosen to take. All we asked is that you remain neutral. I guess our business is no longer needed. We will no longer visit McDonald's and will encourage our family and friends to do the same." "I am very much ashamed at McDonalds for supporting homosexuality. I'm sure they would never think to support anything Christian...and I wouldn't want them to because they should remain neutral on cultural issues. They're a resturuant, not a political advocacy group. Stick to frying burgers and leave the supporting issues to individuals. I won't be eating at McDonalds until they stop supporting homosexuality." "As a stay at home mother of three we watch our dimes and nickles. My children enjoyed eating mcnuggets at McDonalds as well as the fries. We have eaten there many years but I will NOT step foot in your restaurant to help you support something that is morally wrong. I am disgusted and disappointed that you would choose to listen to a minority and abandon family values that Americans cling to." "You have now become the pied piper of the deceived. With your propitiation of homosexuality, you are leading those souls over a cliff. In putting my money where my mouth is, I have stopped eating at your fast food chain, and so have my teenage children. You will feel the effects of the boycott in short order." "I am very disappointed to learn of McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. Please know that I will no longer support your company and will urge my family and friends to do the same." "I am will no longer patronize McDonald's due to their support of the NGLCC." "In McDonald's commitment to the gay and lesbian community, they have turned their back on and isolated a majority of Americans-those with family values. I've always supported McDonald's but how can I support an organization that is so openly pushing the gay and lesbian agenda? Our country needs to get back to what our country was founded upon. Union between one man and one woman is the only way our country's families will stay intact. C. Heyland Tennesee" "I have loved McDonalds for the past 40 years and in fact grew up on them.. No longer will I support them.. I will tell all my children and many grandchildren that McDonalds is no longer a respectable place to eat due to their promotion of the gay agenda.. Wes Johnson" "I work for McDonald's as a manager. I am forced to boycott your chain because of this action you have chosen to take. This will be your loss nationwide."" "Mc donalds has always been a family place. By supporting the Homosexual movement you have slapped the faces of all the families in this country that have supported you all these years. I personally have kept McDonalds afloat since high school 30 years ago. I have no objection to an individual supporting their cause , but to support them as a corporation is not o.k. with me. It goes against everything I stand for. Until I hear that you have reversed your decision, I will join the boycott of McDonalds and get as many of my friends to also boycott." "I ate at McDonald's today as I have often in the past. That was before I was made aware of your position regarding your support of the homosexual agenda. Today marks the last time I or my family eats there until your company opts out of supporting the homosexual lifestyle in our country." ""IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND ANSWER THEM, AND HEAL THEIR LAND" As a Christian, youth leader, children's church director, homeschooler, and a mother, I love homosexuals. As a Christian I will show Christ's love to EVERYONE I can. I feel compassion for those homosexuals lost in sin and blinded by the world's (satan's) lies, and I know homosexuals are just like I was at once, lost. I would give a homeless gay person my coat and a hot meal in an effort to demonstrate God's love and reach that person for Christ. I will not however, give my money to a major corporation that is supporting the breakdown of family values. Being lost in sin as a person is very different from a promoting godlessness nationwide. Shame on you Mcdonalds. You have the power to do so much good. Please change your position. Thank You. Amanda M, Batesville, AR" "I really miss the McGriddles but since McDonald's is now an open supporter of sin I have to settle for the frozen ones from the grocery store. They are not as good but until McDonald's stops supporting the gay agenda I guess they will have to do. Heather Montgomery." "McDonald's position on the homosexual issue shows a lack of concern for family values. I cannot support such a company with my business." "I will no longer be a Mcdonald's customer" "I have been eatibg at McDonald's with my family for the last 35 years. Because of your support of the homosexual agenda, I will no longer be eating there." "My family (and we are many) will no longer support McDonald's. The homosexual lifestyle is not something I will support and I do not think they should receive special treatment just because of their lifestyle. There are many charities that need support and are not controversial, such as cancer research, education, veterans, the elderly, etc. I thought you were all about children." "Another one bites the dust! Months ago when I first heard of McDonald's backing the homosexual agenda, I stopped going to McDonald's cold turkey. Since I've eaten there as long as I can remember and especially since they have my favorite breakfast and I treated myself every Friday, I mourn your decision for more than one reason. Please reconsider and turn away from supporting homosexuality and back to the family values that have sustained you for years before it's too late." "McDonalds will no longer be our tradition,since they don't support the traditional family. Durham, NC" "As a Christian and a supporter of right morals, I will no longer buy anything from McDonalds and will talk to my friends and relatives to do the same thing. Kathy Scheer, houston" "I am shocked that of all the good a corporation like McDonalds can do this is what you choose to support. I will support the boycot and will let all my freind and family know about this" "I'm sorry to hear about the position McDonalds is taking in supporting homosexuality... I really thought that McDonalds was a family-oriented fast food place. My family and I have stopped eating there for about a month now and have been taking our business to Chickfila!! Wish they would reconsider their decision..." "I will not be doing business with McDonalds as long as they choose to keep their position with supporting the Gay and Lesbian community." "Dear McDonald's.....I am choosing to let you know my family will choose other options for our fast food as we cannot support someone who does not show respect for our beliefs. You have chosen to politicize and spread an agenda that insults us so we cannot support your goals that seem to go beyond service to agenda Sincerely'The andersen Family" "I am ver disappointed that a business that caters to kids, such as McDonald's, would support such an immoral organization as NGLCC. As they will soon find out, there are many people who will choose to eat elsewhere rather than have their support of this business go toward the support of open immorality." "I dont eat in Mcdonalds much because of a heart condition. But knowing that you support the above groups,you just lost all of my business and all that the others i can send this to" "When will they ever learn? We have a choice of fast food and I choose not to purchase anything from McDonald's as long as this company aggressively supports homosexuality. I am a children's pastor and will actively encourage boycotting McDonald's to the many families I serve." "Actually, I stopped eating at McDonalds a long time ago due to their poor service. However, with this info, I can tell you that my family and I will never eat at a McDonalds again." "i am very disappointed with mcdonalds. i have just signed a petition to boycott mcdonalds." "I am very disappointed to hear that McDonald's is supporting the homosexual agenda. I worked for McDonald's for several years when I was in high school and am confused as to why they are financially supporting such a controversial cause. There are so many organizations that could use their financial support. I don't understand why they are trying to undermine the traditional family. Sadly, I will no longer be eating at this establishment. There are many fast food restaurants to choose from.. like Chic-fil-a. Their customer service is phenomenal, and they are pro-family!" "I thought Mac' hamburgers were great, not any more." "my family was very excited when mcdonalds came to our small town,we have been there on numerous occasions being my pre-teen daughter's favorite place to eat.but now because of mcdonald's strong support of the unGodly lifestyle our new favorite place to eat is CHICK FIL-A" "Remember K-Mart? That is when I started going to WalMart. I like the sausage mcmuffin w/egg and the Big Mac but no more. I had my last sausage mcmuffin w/egg just this morning." "Dear McDonald's leaders, I believe all persons should be treated fairly and with respect. But I am shocked that you would so agressively support the homosexual lifestyle. The health of you business depends on traditional families. Ours will no longer be supporting your company with our purchases as long as you use my dollars to support the homosexual agenda. There are so many worthy and more universal causes to support. Why this one?" "I am saddened to see an American institution fall in line with this bogus thinking(that homosexuality is an ethnic/racial group),it is NOT!It is a perverse lifestyle and behavior!No one cares what people do behind closed doors but when a company starts or endorses a policy aimed promoting of accepting that it is enough!I will NOT go to Mcdonalds and I will tell everyone I know not to go!McD's will regret this!Shame on you McDonalds!!Stop the charade of using this to "promote diversity".It is perversity!" "I am truly disappointed with the decision made by the McDonald's corporation. I will not support a corporation that does not support family values. My family will no longer be eating at McDonald's." "I nor any of my children or grandchildren will be eating at McDonalds because they have chosen to do evil in the eye's of God!" "I'm really sadden by McDonald's decision to actively support the gay agenda. My family of 8 will no longer eat there unless this position is changed. J. Crosby" "I take my daughter to McDonald's everyday, but now that will stop. I am very dissappointed they would be part of something that is not family based." "This Homosexual agenda is so sad. I hope that you change your mind and follow family value." "This just shows McDonalds no longer is a pro family organization. We'll take our kids to Burger King from now on." "I as a grandmother was surprised when my grandchildren informed me that they would no longer go to McDonald's , they did not know the reason, but Mom and Dad said we couldn't because of something , they did , this children are 8yrs and 5yrs and they used to love McDonalds. How sad that you are loosing the children, the next generation..." "I remember when the first McDonald's opened. It has always been a family friendly place. I am saddened by it's choice. My family can no longer support your chain. Family values are the core of America. Ann Cromer" "I am so sorry that I will have to boycott Mcdonalds in my town. I am sorry because it will ultimately affect employees jobs when business begins to decline. If you are truly a diverse company then you would stay away from taking such controversial positions. Someone mentioned why don't you support habitat for humanity or send millions of dollars overseas to feed starving children and families or any number of other charities that help keep people alive and make a better life for them. Supporting those that choose same sex relationships doesn't keep people from starving to death it just degrades the family unit which God ordained two thousand years ago. Read the Bible and you will see that God loves all people even the people who choose gay and lesbian lifestyles he does not love their lifestyle and clearly tells them it is wrong." "McDonalds used to be our family's favorite restaurant because it was so family friendly. Sounds like you have changed your mind on being friendly to families. We,our 8 children and now their families will not be spending any of our money at any of your restaurants again until you wake up and realize the mess you have gotten yourselves into by supporting a completely NON-FAMILY FRIENDLY group. We will also all be sharing this information with our friends, business associates and church groups. Our Christian boycotts have done damage to more than one business or group that chose to make this kind of mistake. McDonalds, please rethink what your are doing!" "By taking a definite side on this controversial issue, McDonald's is shockingly disregarding the values of the families who have kept them in business. Sad." "This is very disappointing. What a way to send the wrong message to the children of our future, and to mislead those of us who are lost. Shame on you! You may think this move is helping you financially but in the long term, it will prove to have hurt you. And to think I worked for you. Absolutely disgusting!!" "This is very disappointing. What a way to send the wrong message to the children of our future, and to mislead those of us who are lost. Shame on you! You may think this move is helping you financially but in the long term, it will prove to have hurt you. And to think I worked for you. Absolutely disgusting!!" "My family and I are done with McDonald's! It's time to take a stand for good morals!" "I am really disappointed with McDonalds. If they don't support our opinions, then we won't support their business. I will NOT take my children to a place that cares more about this issue than the children. They should be protected from this, not thrust into the middle of it." "McDonalds has always been a fun place to eat with my family. FAMILY, as in a male husband, female wife, and children. We won't be eating at McDonalds again." "My family and I been Mcdonalds fans for decades but we cannot support your stand on these issues. Knowing the money we spend at y our stores goes towards this liberal agenda just doesn't fly. Why further this m" "I'm surprised that you are not just sticking to what you do best...making great food. But because of your support of things that weaken America's families and morals, I stopped eating at McDonald's some time ago. What a pity." "I will never again support Big Mac as a customer...their audacity in openly supporting the homosexual agenda using customers' monies is appalling." "When McDonalds was first established, Homosexuality was listed as a perversion in the abnormal psychology books. Will Pedophilia be the next perversion that McDonalds endorses???" "My family has already been boycotting McDonald's due to the company's endorsement of a lifestyle that is contrary to our beliefs. We will continue to boycott McDonald's as long as the company chooses to support homosexuality with my money." "This is the end of McDonald's for me. This is my stand for Judeo-Christian values. Maybe McDonald's corporate will change their mind when they start losing the percentages of business that Ford Company is losing for the same homosexual support that I oppose." "As owner of a childcare center I will openly tell parents of McDonald's agenda for gay rights. None of our field trips will include McDonalds now!" "What's next McDonald's? You have painted a picture of supporting a minority group that is wrongfully discriminated against. This group does not fall into the same category as black equality and women's rights. This is a group of immoral people who do not value the traditional family. I figure the next "misunderstood" group companies will try to champion will be predators of children. After all - don't these people have the right to "love" kids? I will not eat at McDonald until they change their position on this issue." "Please do not side against the traditional family on this issue. A family has never consisted of two people of the same sex living together as husband and wife no matter what a small percentage of people think today." "McDonalds is a half mile from my home and is a favorite place to stop on my way home from work. No more! I refuse to allow my money to be used to promote the moral decay of American society and will take my dollars around the corner to another business. We have taken our grandchildren to McDonalds for years but if they ask why we don't go any more they will receive a full explanation of what you do with our money. Ray Crock must be rolling over in his grave. I intend to get as many people as possiable involved in this boycott." "My family and I have always eaten at McDonald's close to once a week. With McDonald's new support for homosexuality, unfortunately we will no longer give our business to your company. Our 3 children will be very disappointed. If McDonald's returns to it's support of true family values, we will return our business to your establishment." "I have eaten at McDonald's for 30 years. Obviously, your institution no longer represents the family values that I thought it stood for. There are many other good places to eat. You have lost my loyalty and my business. Debbie, Springfield, MO" "Dear McDonalds associates: Please let us stand for Gods' moral principles on which our forefathers have founded our country and stop the support of the immoral values that the gay commmunity is trying to foster in America. My family and I have so much enjoyed visiting and eating at McDonalds but will no longer." "Dear MD's, anyone can shop there, work there etc. but please do not be a part of the promotion of this lifestyle which is pushing itself on the rest of us. You know it is un-natural for men to be in union with men etc. think about it. Benny Cunningham" "I am very disappointed that McDonald's would choose such a controversial subject to support. McDonalds is my very favorite place to take my grandchildren to eat. However, I will not take them to McDonald's or anyone else until McDonalds agrees to not openly support the Gay and Lesbian issue! I will email all my family and friends and ask for there boycott in this matter!" "I am really sorry that McDonald's has taken this stand against traditional American values. I will no longer go to McDonalds and will encourage others to do the same" "You gave into PETA, now it's the NGLCC and their agenda. What's next? Al Qeda" "As of today my family will never spend another penny at any one of these places.I will spread the word on the type of homosexual life style that my money promotes to our young children. You have seen my last penny spent and my wrath verbally expressed where ever I get the chance. Ray Ramirez, CALIFORNIA" "I guess we will have to switch to BK for our burgers in the future. Helen & Arnie Brandon Bellevue, WA. 98006" "Just wanted you to know none of my family,nor my grandchildren will be supporting you any longer-am now going to Wendy's or Sonic" "Very Disapointed that you are not concerned or have any loyalty to upholding family falues. My family WILL NO longer vist mcdonalds and i will certaintly tell others to do the same." "This is not an easy choice for our family, we eat at Mc Donalds a lot. Until Mc Donalds stops supporting anti family (Gay and Lesbian) groups my family will not eat there. I will require an apology also." "I am so disappointed. McDonald's has ALWAYS been the favorite fast food restaurant of me & my family but we MUST follow our beliefs. We will no longer enter a McDonald's as long as they support the homosexual agenda. I will also do all in my power to spread the news of McDonald's position to everyone I come in contact with, whether at work, church or just on the street. Denise Tessener, Fayetteville, NC" "My family usually stops at McDonald's 2-3 times a week. As long as McDonald's choses to support the homosexual agenda especially gay marriage, then we will no longer do business with them. We will now become loyal supporters of Burger King and Wendys." "I don't understand why McDonald's is willing to alienate a large portion of society by not staying neutral on the homosexual rights agenda. I will not use McDonald's until they become neutral again. Mick Bohn" "Dear Sir or Madam: I am very sorry to hear that McDonald's is no longer a family establishment. I have enjoyed the food in the past but will not any longer. Sincerely Charlotte Urbanowski Canada" "It's sad to see the direction McDonald's is choosing to take in opposing true family values. In doing so my family is choosing not frequent their business. I hope many more Americans do the same." "I am an administrator of Harbor Cristian Academy in Austin TX. We have many Happy Meal Parties and have found McDonalds to be helpful in our causes. To think that our money will be used to promote an agenda that we have not approved of is sad and polarizing. Our school cannot tolerate being used this way. Deborah Baker" "I do not understand how a company that has promoted for years and years that this is a place to take your children/family, is spending money to promote the break down of families!!! I will be encouraging and spreading the news to family and friends to do the same!" "I,too, am disappointed to learn that McDonald's would rather support the homosexual issues than the family values that have always been associated with the McDonald name. I have one grandchild who will be especially disappointed not to be eating at his favorite place." "I add my voice to the many others here! I will no longer support McDonalds as they choose not to support the family values that I, and many others hold. I will sacrifice whatever it takes to keep the standards that our founding fathers fought for!" "I can't understand why you are taking sides in the culture wars. Everyone knows the homosexual agenda is not just a cultural matter. It's against family. I thought family was what McDonald's was all about." "Just want McDonalds to know I will not longer be eating there. You have chosen to side with a group that is wrong and sinful. I will pass this on to others as well. Sharon Brunk, Harrisonburg, VA" "We will not be going to McDonalds again for awhile. You choose to support the gays. I choose to take my family to WENDYS!!!! OR BURGER KING!!!!!!" "As long as McDonald's supports the homosexual agenda I will NOT be giving them any business nor will any of my influential friends." "If McDonald's wants to sell good food at a fair price and deliverit with good service, I will continue to be a good customer. If they want to affect the social, political and moral trajectory of this country, especially in the way they have recently, my family and I will no longer be buying anything at their stores." "i am ashamed of mcdonald's. my kids will not eat there anymore either. mcdonald's use to be the family place to go but not anymore!" "I am deeply disappointed that McDonalds deems it necessary to be an advocate for the NGLCC. This is deeply disturbing to me that a fast food chain as large as this one is choosing to push a lifestyle that is abhorrent to most people. This is suppose to a "family" oriented restaurant but it is pushing a lifestyle that is contrary to the family. NO longer will my family be a party to this. As of today there will no longer be "Happy Meals" purchased by me or any one else in my family. Ronald McDonald may as well turn that smile back into a frown." "I have been eating at McDonalds since was about 8 years old...almost 40 years....but no more. This is the most disgraceful thing you could have done I think. You have lost this customer and family, which by the way thats about 4 meals a week from just me...not counting my daughter and husband. You all should be ashamed!" "For as long as I can remember, I have grown up frequenting McDonalds and now, as a parent, enjoy taking my child there. How dissappointing it is to see McDonald's enter the political arena and show support of the homosexual lifestyle. In this economy, money is important, but family values are of greater importance. My family and I will no longer frequent McDonald's. What a sad statement of where your company chooses to spend it's money. Please be aware that my family will choose restaurants, and always will, that support traditional family values." "I have a family of 5 that will not be spending our money at Mcd's until there decision has changed. And over 900 members of my Church that i am Sure will feel the same way. and by the looks of it there are Many, many people across the nation that also feel the same way,its just a matter of time now that you will start feeling the effects of your bad decision." "I am so disappointed in McDonalds' position on homosexuality, on the gay & lesbian issue. I have been a faithful customer since the 60's and have always thought of them as family place. I hope that they can feel the disappointment of their customers and will think also about morality and character and values. If not, I don't think I can, in good conscience, continue to patronize them." "It truly saddens me that your company has placed the dollar bill over family values. My family will no longer support your business, and I will encourage everyone I come in contact with to do the same. David Harris, M'boro, TN" "You has already lost a client." "As long as McDonald's Corporation chooses to support the homosexual agenda, me & my family and anyone else I can get the word out to will not spend our hard earned money at McDonald's. McDonald's next 40 years may not be as profitable." "With all the options McDonald's has to support community growth and all the options you have to support the needy, am truly saddened by your choice to support the G&L's as you have chosen to do. Like so many growing up eating at McDonald's was a part of life, but it no longer is and will not be again. My wife and I have a firm belief that the G&L life style is wrong and any organization that supports it can not, in my opinion be supported with my hard earned dollars. You have so many options and so many choices to use the money you make from your customers, to be a help to society, yet you have caved in to the pressures of this current age and followed after so many that have come so close to closing down because of poor choices like this. I hope that those you have chosen to support can afford to eat all their meals at your locations because if not you will join the ranks of so many others that have lost billions due to your choices." "How disappointed I am to learn of McDonald's position. I can only guess how disappointed Ray Kroc would be. I viewed McDonald's as an all-american values company. Their position on the Gay and Lesbian issue underscores the fact that they have no concern for the welfare of our nation. They are only concerned with expanding their customer base. Unfortunately for them and what they don't seem to realize is that by taking this action they have only served to erode their customer base. Hopefully, they will rethink their position." "I am appalled at McDonalds aggressive position on supporting homosexuality! I have been going to McDonalds since I was a kid and now my kids and I no longer go to McDonalds. I am proud of my kids because they support the boycott!! There are other places to choose from!! Joanne Muniz, Albuquerque" "I've eaten at McDonalds for as long as I can remember. Now I know better than to ever go there again--especially when my children are with me!" "I am truly disappointed at McDonald's. I will no longer purchase anything from them and will strive to get others to do the same." "I have gone to McDonald's for as long as I can remember and eve worked as a manager for you. I am forced to boycott your chain because of this action you have chosen to take. This will be your loss nationwide." "I am amazed that McDonald's is not supporting Habitat for Humanity or children's literacy or something NONcontroversial. Shame on you and know that my grandchildren and friend's children and I will not longer visit any of your establishments. Barbara Jones, Florida" "How disappointing that McDonalds is abandoning the family values millions of Americans hold dear. We will no lonter be frequenting your establishments. B.Anderson, Virginia" "I am one of 12 living siblings who all have bunches of kids and grandkids. Do you get the picture? We won't be eating our normal weekend sandwich at your place. Beside, shame on you. I'm Mad!!" "I will no longer purchase food at McDonalds, a favorite of my kids. As long as McDonalds supports the homosexual agenda, its not family friendly, so we'll take our business to family friendly fast food places. Sherry Stacy" "I am very disappointed with McDonalds position on this issue. My family will boycott your restaurants in our area and go to Traditional family oriented restaurants." "I have always seen McDonald's as a family friendly place but not any longer. The Homosexual lifestyle is contrary to the family structure and is contrary to my values. All people of all beliefs and practices have value but to elevate a degenerative lifestyle instead of family values is the undermining of the core organization of our country. I refuse to do business with a company that undermines my values." "Sorry to hear or your decision to reaffirm your position on the gay agenda. I have no problem with people chosing that lifestyle, my cousin is gay, but he doesn't push his decisions on the rest of us telling us how we should think about this. Sorry, we won't be spending our money in any of your establishments, again." "We also realize you used to have values. What happened. We will no longer visit your outlets. No more McDonalds. We have 10 children and 27 grandchildren. None of which will go to McDonalds again. Sorry you have taken this avenue in business." "What a shame! McDonald's are "shooting themselves in the foot" by going against the FAMILY! I'm disappointed - .S.D. Missouri" "My voice may be small, but my family and I will not go to McDonalds until the membership in this chamber of commerce is revoked." "I've just learned that the money I spend at McDonald's is used to fund a concerted effort to promote, normalize & encourage children and adults to embrace homosexuality and sodomy. Please know that I cannot support the commendation of sinful acts and, as a result, will no longer patronize McDonald's. Promotion of Sodomy underscores all that is decent, good, and pure in a society. Please drop your financial and moral support of sodomy and join me in promoting goodness and virtue." "No more big macs or fries. My kids grew up with mcdonalds but since you support the gay agenda we will no longer visit mcdonalds. Ask FORD if it was really worth it?" "Our family of 5 will be leaving for vacation soon. We have eaten regularly at McD's in the past, especially on trips, but you can count of the fact that we will NOT be spending any of our hard earned dollars at your restaurant while you continue to support the gay agenda. I can guarantee that our extended family, friends and church family will also be made aware of your stand AGAINST the TRADITIONAL FAMILY! ---K. Jones, Arkansas River Valley" "I'm disappointed to discover that McDonald's has taken an active role to support the homosexual agenda. Our family will not knowingly support a company that supports NGLCC or organizations similar to it. It will be sad for our children, when they are told that we can no longer go to McDonald's. I will be sure to inform my friends about McDonald's decision to support the NGLCC." "I have 12 grandchildren and I wil make sure they boycott McDonald's." "I am outraged! As much as your fresh hot fries are a joy in our home, my whole family will no longer step foot in your restaurants. You were built on values and for kids! Where did you loose your way? A.A California" "As long as McDonalds continues to support the gay agenda, I will be having my breakfast at Spangles; this is sad because I will miss their sausage and egg biscuits." "I will not be purchasing food from you and will urge all my friends to do the same, because you have chosen to support the gay agenda with the financial weight of your corporation." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's has chosen to support the homosexual agenda. The traditional family is under attack on so many fronts, and now even from a fast-food chain. You can be assured that I will not spend any more of my money at McDonald's, but will choose other places instead. The NGLCC is not an organization with which I choose to be affiliated, and I will not knowingly support a company that is affiliated with it." "I have been a customer of yours during my 4 children growing up, and now 6 grandchildren. I will not be a customer anymore until you decide to follow the tradition you have set for family values over these many years. We will boycott your business until you rethink your position." "How sad this is going to be for my six grandchildren and I. This was our favorite restaurant. They love the mighty kids meals." "I am greatly disappointed at McDonald's stand on this issue as I have been a loyal customer for many years and my daughter loves the food, however I refuse to support their backing such an organization. It is not about the issue of homosexuality rather the manner in which this organization promotes their agenda which is offensive and infringes on the rights of others when they go to family establishments and blantently expose children to their deviant behavior! I have several homosexual friends who are also offended by such behavior. Barbara Denington" "Our family of 9 will be participating in the McDonald's boycott. We eat our often and will support businesses that support family values. We will encourage everyone that we know to do the same." "Boycott McDonald's? You bet! My small family of 13 along with every member of my church and everyone at work will be made aware of how the corportation is choosing to use their profits. I'm very sorry. Like so many others I thought of McDonald's as a family-oriented business. I guess that's my mistake. Mary -- Kansas City" "How sad that your organization, because of a ONE individual who chooses to be gay, ruins the entegrity of McDonalds. The SUCCESS OF McDonalds has been built ON THE FAMILY RESTAURANT. Now you are telling us that 97% of the population (hetersecuals) are wrong. Think about it...Families built and supported you, and this is your appreciation? All my family and friends will be informed about your disregard of the "family" a will be persuaded to move to Burger King. I PRAY that someone in your company has the Courage to recognize God's law of marriage. SEE YA !!!" "After learnin' that McDonald's now supports the gay agenda, I've just got 1 thing to say: Burger King & Culver's, here I come! Dave Wollenberg, Wheaton,IL" "Why would a family and child oriented restaurant make such a foolish stand, contrary to your entire focus? Our family-- and as many friends as we can inform-- will be boycotting McDonalds until you regain your senses!" "I am totally shocked at the actions of McDonalds to support the gay and lesbian movement. If they were smart,they would remain neutral to continue to draw business from all aspects of our society, now,they are LOSING more business then they realize.We will no longer go to McDonalds! I pray they will change their position! Lets do all we can to take back America and the values that are SO lacking in our country!!!!!TAKE A STAND!! Michele in AZ." "K-Mart has never recovered from the boycott years ago for their ungodliness. Disney no doubt lost millions. Just a hint: Christian boycotts are like a snowball rolling downhill, they start very slow and very small, but they will devastate you if allowed to roll on." "As a soon-to-be-parent, I was shocked to see such blatant disregard for the traditional family values that I assumed your company was founded on. My child will not be a patron of your restaurant, and I will share this information with friends and family." "It is with deep regret that I will no longer be taking my grandchildren to your establishment, even though they like your fries best of all! Please reconsider your stance against traditional family values." "I strongly dissaprove of your support of the NGLCC. Through the years, while driving buses for youth trips, I have taken literally thousands of people to McDonald's for something to eat. I'm sorry to say that neither me or my family or the groups I lead, will be returning to McDonald's. What a shameful thing you are doing. I could never do business with a company that supports such deviant behavior." "Mcdonalds is on a downward spiral that leads to bankruptsy. I will go to the competitor, Hardees, for my breakfast. Mcdonalds is a corporation that no longer serves the family. Read Genesis, the first chapter. You will God meant for a man and a woman to unite in marriage. Mcdonalds people are losers" "I am very disappointed to see that McDonald's has chosen to take sides against the traditional family! My family will not be eating at any McDonald's until this policy is changed." "How sad that you have chosen to take a stand against families. You have instead decided to support the homosexual lifestyle. Until you reconsider you stand in this matter, you will not be getting any more of my business. There are still other restaraunts like Wendy's that will cater to wholesome family living. Thank you for your time," "wow...i didnt know....sorry folks, i'm gonna eat elswhere untill you get it right!" "you'll never see anymore of our family budget going to McDonalds.thank goodness for other fast food outlets." "You can push whatever adjenda you want; I can also spend my money where I choose; and it will not be at McDonald's anymore...." "Remember one thing,there are more straight people than homosexuals. I will not grace your doors again." "McDonalda will not see any of my money until they change their stance on monetarily supporting homosexual organizations. I will tell everyone I know. The vast majority of your clientele wants you to stop supporting this group. The silent majority could hurt your business." "I am enraged and disgusted that you will support the homosexual lifestyle when you are a company that has always made it big on family and children wanting to eat there. You will not be getting any more of my money and I am encouraging my family to stay away from McDonalds." "How sad that you have chosen to go this direction...you appeal to families, children, how can you also support homosexuals? We will be buying no more gift certificates for the grandchildren or getting our morning coffees at our favorite McDonald's....please reconsider your stand." "G ood thing I saw this. I took my kids there often when they were younger. A ny thinking person would know to eat elsewhere. Y esterday I vowed not to return." "I'm so sorry to hear of your decision. Diversity IS the difference in our nationality, of which we have no choice BUT the homosexual lifestyle IS A CHOICE. I'm sorry for your decision because my wife and I are regular customers BUT not now. Sorry!" "Looks like Burger King or any of the other hundreds of fast food burger joints for my family & friends. Too bad y'all are so closed minded." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's is choosing to be supportive of the gay rights agenda. The gay agenda is an abomination in the nostrils of God. I am taking my family (incl. 4 kids)to a much better place to eat." "We will not, and we will tell all our family and friends, not to eat at McDonalds! Your willingness to be used by the homosexual activists above the families and children who have built your financial empire speaks louder than any Ronald McDonald ad ever could." ""Global Diversity Officer....." So if McDonalds does what the American public wants, then you are out of luck and work. I cannot support Mc Donald's until this piece of diversity is not longer a priority with your company!" "This is not a good policy and it will keep my family and I from frequenting McDonald's, which I did several times a week. I will not go to another McDonald's restuarant until you change your stance on this issue." "I used to frequent McDonald's often. I am not "against" gays - I have many gay friends as a musician. But the lifestyle is harmful and I am morally opposed to it, and to any organization that chooses to actively support this harmful, immoral lifestyle. Please return to the favor of the public, and to doing right instead of wrong." "I'm so sad to see McDonald's supporting an organization that in no way promotes healthy families. My daughter will miss her favorite quick meal of Chicken McNuggets, but she will learn that having a happy, healthy family is more important than eating her favorite meal. We will not eat at any McDonald's anywhere unless you choose to stop supporting the anti-family lifestyle." "IF McDonald's decides to be neutral in the culture wars on sexual orientation, I will again spend my money with you. I have eaten your food for years, sometimes several times a week. My extended family also. My husband stops for breakfast every day before work. We will no longer choose your restaurant. Your corp. needs to remain neutral and not alienate the family. I have no personal problem with GLBT persons, but do not feel you should be promoting anything other than the traditional family. It is a shame, McDonald's has been a family restaurant prior to this." "After years of buying your products, I was really surprised by McDonalds stand. I think that if a few million people join in this boycott, you may realize the error or your ways." "I am very disappointed in McDonalds, you are traditonaly are a family restarant, how can you allow this to be apart of you. This is a bad example for our youth and our childern. You will no longer get my business until you change your mind. I am a mother of 4 and we eat at your restruant alot, but not anymore." "I am a former McDonalds customer. I am a father, grandfather, and pastor of a large and growing church. I have spent many dollars in the past with your McDonalds Corp. and I am very disappointed in the position you have taken as a company concerning the support of the Gay rights agenda. I will spend no more of my money at your restaurant, and I will use my considerable influence to see that others are educated as to your unfortunate decision. If and when you reconsider your position I will reconsider mine. John Nations, White Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church." "I am disappointed in McDonald's choice to support the homosexual lifestyle. I will be boycotting Mcdonald's until you decide to stop furthering such anti-family agendas. Mrs. Sandra Robertson" "It is a sad thing when a family restaurant choses to support an anti-family, anti-christian cause. The homosexual agenda is a very radical agenda and one I cannot support. I have alerted my many conservative friends and family members to BOYCOTT McD's. We'll miss your burgers, fries & especially those weekend breakfasts. A Christian Mom, Simpsonville, SC" "Under no circumstances will I patronize another McDonalds until you publicly reverse your decision in your support of this disgusting life style. It is anti-family. It is not what McDonalds was supposed to be. I will publish every comment on this website to my public and on my blog. I will place it on YouTube, my space and any other media possible, including FOX (the O'Reilly Factor), CBS, NBC, ABC and even CNN. Edb" "Please stop the support of the Gay and Lesbian agenda and Homosexual marriage. My Family will no longer support McDonalds through the patronige of there store suntil it stops. The Taylor's, Lilesville NC" "Dear McDonald's I'm very discouraged to hear of your endorsement of the National Gay and Lesbain Chamber of Commerce. Until you withdraw your endorsement from NGLCC, you will lose my family's business. Tommy Stogner" "Could have gone to McDonald's for breakfast this morning to get my son the hashbrowns he loves. I took him to Burger King instead. There will be no more money from this family, going to McD's, until they give up their support of those who are trying to normalize and legitimize as an identity issue, what is really nothing but an issue of deviant sexual behavior." "Shame on you McDonald's. You promote yourself to millions as being a family oriented establishment, yet at the same time pomote a cause whose very existence is against not only the family, but humanity itself. We need strong people who will stand against corporations like yours. I will let my children and everyone else know why we don't eat at your restaurant anymore. If this generation won't stand up to you I plan to do my part to make sure the next one does. Homosexuality is immoral and you are promoting immorality in our society. In my opinion, if you won't change your position you should be closed!" "It is so disturbing to me that McD's would choose to support an organization that is so totally out of line with the American Family Unit! (You know, the ones who made McDonald's the huge corporation that it is today.) What a stab at the hard working people who have spent their hard earned money supporting YOU! My family, and EVERYONE we can alert, will not support you any longer. You should be genuinely ashamed!" "My family will no longer patronize McDonalds." "I was very disappointed to hear of McDonald's support of the gay/lesbian agenda. We will from this day forward boycott this business, which our family frequents 2 to 4 times a weeks. thank you Copeland family Florence, AL" "I cannot believe your position relating to the homosexual agenda. McDonalds is an American 'family' icon. A family is Dad, Mom, and the children - NOT Dad & Dad and adopted children. My business will be conducted elsewhere - Hello Burger King!" "I have always been a regular at McDonald's especially taking the family out and on business trips... however, if this is the way McDonald's is going, I'm going (have already done so) to other places. I have of course others to do the same over here in Spain." "Dear McDonalds, I've been eating at McDonald's since the 1970s and always thought it was a great family place (even saw Hamburger University being built). Now it seems you have become politically correct by pandering to the gay agenda by supporting the NGLCC group. Well, good-bye McDonald's - you'll not get my business any more and I'll make sure my family and friends know why." "My family & extended family will not patronize any McDonald's products nor contribute to THE MCDONALD HOUSE." "I do hope this sends a positive message as to how we see family: Man & woman with children. Ray Kroc would be amazed at what we have become or what we call normal. Family? I think McDonald's has just professed it has no idea what this is! I will enjoy a Burger King meal from now on." "Homosexuality preys on the children of others. No one who cares about children should be in favor of this or support the homosexual agenda. The RC Church has learned this the hard way. Wise up." "My family and I will not be giving McDonald's our business any longer because of your stand on the homosexual issues." "Children LOVE McDonalds...with six children we can visit McDonalds a lot, BUT with McDonalds stand opposing traditional marriage, I will no longer be patronizing any of their establishments. I am so dissapointed in them." "McDonald's, I will boycott McDonald's as long as you continue to fund the gay rights. The future of our children and the sanctity of marriage are at stake. Children don't need a perverted view of sex; they need to grow up understanding the value of a marriage between one man and one woman. As a Christian, I still love the homosexual person; they are a valuable human being in my eyes and in God's eyes. Please stop funding the homosexual agenda, if you want my business again. Frances Saylors Smithville, TN" "I love your hamburgers and a log of other things you serve. But as long as you continue to chose the Gay agenda I will not be a customer. Thank you." "Sorry, we'll be avoiding onee of our favorite eating places ." "Since receiving the sad news of your decision to support this ungodly agenda, my family has chosen to no long eat at McDonald's. Please understand, we are not against the employees, nor do we disapprove of the food. We are opposed to the blatant anti-family, anti-Christian stance which the CEOs of this corporation have chosen to support. Until your position changes, our family will no longer be eating at your establishment." "My family and I been Mcdonalds fans for decades but we cannot support your stand on these issues. Knowing the money we spend at y our stores goes towards this liberal agenda just doesn't fly. Why further this morality when there are plenty of other causes you could support that would encourage our children?" "Have always loved McDonald's. Looked forward to stopping for fries and a fish sandwich...no more will I do that...McDonald's should be fair and impartial to all but to pick out a group and stand behind it I will not accept...sorry McDonald's...me and all my friends and family won't be seeing you any more at this time." "1 heterosexual Christian against McDonald's I will eat elsewhere, there are a lot of choices." "I am definitely worried about Ronald McDonald house. The kids that it helped will be hurt by the choice of the management of Mc D's to go against the family values and for GLB lifestyle. Wake Up McDonalds we are a caring country but we are christian based and our families come before our bellies!!" "Since you are supporting same gender marriage instead traditional marriage you will no longer receive the business from my large family." "Disappointed. What's this world coming to?" "Our family has been visiting McDonald's for over 30 yrs. McDonald's has chosen sides and so has my family, we will no longer be visiting McDonald's! It is hard to believe that McDonald's made such a choice when they could have stayed neutral, but to promote homosexuality and homosexual marriage how appalling. You better believe I will be passing the word to everyone I know!" "No more McDonalds for my family at all. I will not and cannot support a company that seeks to destroy the traditional American family by the company it keeps. I hope McDonalds changes it ways soon!" "I can assure McDonalds that I will not spend another dime with there Co. If family values where so important to them they would not support this. I do not hate homosexaul people. I hate the sin that they have become lost in. I will pray for this Co. that they will not contune to support this." "We will not be supporting McDonald's. We will be supporting Chic-fil-A and others that support family and Christian values" "SADLY - I will take my business to a fast food chain that does not PROMOTE the homosexual lobby's agenda." "As a former stock holder I am appalled at your decision to take a stand promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage. Especially without putting this issue up for vote with your stock holders first. The Founder Ray Kroc once said “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” In the past McDonalds has done very promoting families and selling to families staying persistent to the founders goals. If this new stance" "As long as McDonalds is going to take this position on homosexuality, I will no longer be a customer. I will also encourage all my family and friends to do the same." "My husband and I will not go to a McDonald's as long as you support homosexuality in any way." "I am very disappointed in the McDonald's stance to support the gay / lesbian movement. I have been a patron of McDonalds for years and I will no longer go there. The tradional family is still the foundation for a strong society. I hope Mcdonalds will reconsider the stance and to support traditonal family values!" "There are other places to get a quick meal We'll be using them now." "All my life i have enjoyed eating at MacDonalds because I thought they supported traditional family values. As of today I will not enter another MacDonalds and I will let my voice be known on your stance on the gay and lesbian agenda. Beware - Big companies can fall big when enough people get behind a cause. I am praying that you change your stance but if you don't you have lost a faithful customer!" "My great grandson's favorite place to visit was McDonalds. I will not be taking him there anymore and when I explain to him why and what the homosexual lifestyle entails, I'm sure he will be as disgusted as I am with McDonalds. Goodbye Big Mac." "Agenda's just make the food taste bad...sorry we will be spending our hard earned money elsewhere." "I recently began stopping at McDonald's again because of the salads. Now I'll be staying away. Corporations have no business promoting social agendas like this. If you are really "family-friendly" how about supporting the Natural Family, the one that has been functioning through millions of years." "I will be passing by every pair of golden arches that I see WITHOUT stopping. I am APPALLED and SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED in your support of ANY homosexual agenda. Count me now as a non-customer and I will certainly be passing the word." "I wish McDonalds would stop alienating such a fundimental demograph of America. Families are the foundation of society, but it appears that is of no consern whatsoever to this great proponent of social well-being." "As for me and my family, we will spend our time and money at Chic-fil-a,as we follow those with christian value and principles." ""Supporting sexual perversion as a normal and acceptable lifestyle will NEVER be part of my life!!! Goodbye to MacDonald's! Supporting the homosexual agenda is astonishing and unacceptable!!! There are many other options for fast-food...I will take my business elsewhere..."" "I will not support McDonald's again until you change your stand on homosexuality. Nothing Family Friendly about it!" "Our family will not longer be McDonald's customers as long as they promote the homosexual lifestyle and homosexual marraiage. This goes against our moral principles and we will not bring our family there any more." "We have a choice where to eat fast food. We choose to not eat at McDonalds because of your support of homosexual agenda." ""In and Out" makes incredible burgers. AND their beef is grass-fed. A more healty and responsible choice - physically and socially." "I live in Ukraine, and when I want an American treat, I go to McDonald's - the only American fast food place in my town. But because McD's wants to throw their support behind the homosexual agenda, I refuse to eat there any longer. I will miss the fruit pies and chicken sandwiches and french fries. Please change your position, McD's, so I can treat myself again to American fast food!" "I have grown up with McDonalds, I have worked for McDonald's and now I am Boycotting McDonalds. I have six (6) grandchildren and will not have you manipulating their young minds with pro homosexual garbage. I love all people. I do not love the things they do. As much as I love McDonalds and enjoyed taking my grandchildren there, I will make my own chicken nuggets and french fries. I will take them to the park and enjoy nature as it was intended." "My family and I will, not eat at McDonalds until you change your support of the homosexual and gay agenda.This is a sad day for America when supposed family friendly restaurants take sides on political moral issues that we conservatives hold so dear to our belief in the teachings of Gods word." "I am shocked to learn that you are supporting the homosexual lifestyle. McDonalds has been a family restaurant and our family and friends have been loyal customers ever since I can remember. You insist on promoting this lifestyle and supporting it. We can no longer support McDonalds nor will we give you any money to use for that agenda." "Me and my family visited McDonalds quite frequently. Every time that I would ask them what they want to eat they said, "McDonalds"!! Now as a result of the Corperate decision to support the NCGLCC, I too will join the massive group of boycotters along with the rest of my family! I am tired of the ignorance that companies like yours continue to show. Your business was designed for the family and to make money to make a living. I can certainly learn to live without McDonalds in my diet. I suggest that you take a look at what happend to the Ford dealership when they decided to do the same thing. Finally I bid you a farewell and will take my hard earned money else where!!! If you change your mind I to will change mine." "I spend approx $20.00 weekly at McDonald's. I will patronize other restaurants until I hear that McDonald's is against homosexualilty!!!!!" "I do not believe that your corporation should be funding Gay Pride events or funding the NGLCC. I will give up my much loved fries and go to Burger King or Arby's. I choose where I spend my money. Sincerely, LeAnna Brennan" "I have no anger in my heart by the choices McDonalds has chosen, but I must now take a stand by not buying anything at McDonalds because some of the money I spend there will be used to promote the gay agenda. How have you supported the tradtional hetersexual agenda lately? Why are you supporting a sexual lifestyle in the first place?!" "I am truly saddened by the choice that McDonalds seems to be making. Many people will say that God doesn't judge. They're wrong. God is judgement. He is so perfect that He cannot even look upon sin. Praise God that there is a difference between judgment and love. While God does judge each and every one of us, He loves us all equally. Those who are in the homosexual lifestyle are loved by God, but that does not change the fact that homosexuality is a sin and God will judge that sin and those who engage in it. God will also judge those who promote it. I am by no means perfect and sinless, there has been only One who has walked this earth in those shoes, but I will not allow my children to be exposed to this lifestyle if I can help it. I will pray that McDonlads sees the light before it is eternally too late." "I will no longer eat at McDONALDS. aS LONG AS YOU ARE A MEMBER WITH THE NGLCC" "I am not MCKidding, I will no longer frequent a MCDonald's restaurant until the corporation has withdrawn its support of the homosexual agenda. A New Mexico native" "Sorry McD's, my family will not eat here any longer until you change you position. I will also be making sure everyone I know hears about your stance. Make no mistake, the people you are supporting may cry the loudest, but they are not the majority and you will find out the hard way I guess." "I am a busy mother of four who frequently visits the new McDonald's in our small community, but I can not feel good about stopping in for a quick bite knowing how your feel about American family's and our traditional values... I pray your business will be effected until you think about what is important to your customers!" "SO disappointed.....I had grown attached to your affordable and yummy iced coffee....oh well, until you guys change your stance and support family values, I'll spend the extra dollar and get my iced coffee at Sonic." "I have 3 small children that have enjoyed McDonalds, but do to your non-neutral stance they will get their French fries elsewhere. McDonald's is not making the world a better place for my child's future" "I think it's a shame that McDonald's, a family oriented franchise, should support gay and lesbian causes. The Bible talks against that. Families trust Mc Donald's to provide an appropraite atmosphere. Promoting homosexuality is not, in my book, promoting a family atmosphere. Jan Williams" "In view of your homosexual support, I will choose other food establishments and encourage family and friends to do the same. This is appalling and makes me throw up that you would take this position. Bonnie Merritt" "As a current consumer, past employee, and Christian American, I am disappointed to find out that McDonald's is deciding to support the gay agenda. I would hate to tell the kids that we could no longer eat at McDonald's, but I am willing and will ask our church leadership to advise the congregation to do the same. McDonald's should be about FAMILIES. That is who have supported you throughout the years." "I'm very disappointed in McDonald's decision. I take a group of teens there every week and am going to ask them not to eat there until they decide otherwise." "For a family oriented food chain, it would seem that you would align yourselves with the makers of your families who support you. You might as well get rid of the playgrounds...you're not a family hangout if you support the G/L agenda." "Darn, I am sure going to miss my Big Macs, but I simply cannot support a company who supports those who want to destroy our values. I am not anti-gay, but I certainly oppose the gay political agenda. Bye Bye, Ronald" "McDonald's has always been equated with family fun and good food. I grew up being taken to McD and I have taken my (13) most of his life. What you are doing is supporting a group of people walk in sin. The Holy Word of God, Creator of all things and people says homosexuality is an abomination. These people need Jesus Christ in their hearts not support for their tuning farther away from the Lord. Your establishment is no longer considered a family-friendly and we are boycotting you until you see the Truth. -S.Berry (WA State)" "Family?!!! Family is one man & one woman, no matter how you try to twist it. God says so!!! no more MacD's for us. Kirk Family" "I have enjoyed McDonalds in many states and countries during my life. My oldest son worked at a local McD's. It was a great experience. Now because of the CEO's choice to support the G/L agenda, I am telling parents not to go eat or allow their children to work for McD's. We have not eaten at a McDonalds since this issue fist came to light. We pray for not only McDonalds but all corporations to make wise moral choices that will impact our culture and country for good and not evil." "Today was the last day I will be supporting your establishment until you change your position." "I will no longer be buying from McDonald's, it is not the what I would have thought McDonald's stood for as a place for families." "You choose to support Homosexuality. We choose not to support McDonald's. We have been customers of yours for many years, and are very disappointed." "I believe that Corp. America has become to involved with being associated to various life styles. Remaining to be neutral, no feelings are hurt, and values are not distorted. I hope these actions do not destroy everything that the Ronald McDonald house has built up. My donations will be questionable in the future. Steve Porter Mayfield, Ky" "For years I have been a patron of McDonald's. You say you promote family values but in reality that is the fartherest thing from the truth. My children nor my grandchildren will not be customers of yours anymore. I do not uphold homosexuality nor the gay rights movement. If you would read your bible it specifically tells you about the homosexuality and the results of it. I am very disappointed with your support in this." "It is disappointing that McDonalds' CEO wants to mix hamburgers and sexuality. McDonalds should stay out of the culture wars. People just want to eat some french fries and burgers without having the CEO support a policy and an organization that is a direct affront to our way of life. Heterosexuals have had enough, especially in CAlifornia. The McDonalds corporation should remain neutral." "I'm not eating any more at McDonald's until you change your policies and get more in line with mainstream morality and pay less attention to squeezing every cent you can out of the pool of your potential customers." "It's gonna be hard to boycott you, because I love your tea! But, my principles come before my taste buds, and my money follows my conscience. Therefore, I cannot continue to patronize your restaurants. I hope you'll see the err in your decision when your sales tank (though you, like Ford, will probably blame it on something else)." "I just had lunch at McDonalds before I read this. I am so disappointed and disgusted - if I had known this, I would have gone elsewhere. So, after all these years of putting your customers first and serving the public good food, you now choose to put that aside and put controversial sexual issues first? In a hamburger place? I guess I missed something but when I went to McDonalds, I went for a Big Mac and some of those great fries! I will miss them, however I will not be back until you change your stand on this." "I do not find any fault in your hiring of this diverse group but I do not want part of money received from my purchase of your product to be used for the support of the people in the disgusting gay parades. Have you even seen them? They are not want I want my children to be. Good bye McDonalds. You are not getting my money." "My two sons want to know every time we drive by McDonald's if the bad people have changed their minds yet? What will it take? We will not be going back as long as McDonald's chooses to support lifestyles that the Bible says is WRONG! Please change your minds." "Apparently McDonalds has forgotten who made them so BIG and POWERFUL. It is us, the traditional Americans that built this country on strong moral values that have made this country great for two hundred years. Well we made you and as a group we can remind you of things that you have forgotten by withdrawing our support for McDonalds. There are many other choices out there!" "How incredibly dissappointing and utterly ridiculous. We have patronized McDonalds for years as a family. No more." "I have been careing my Grandchildren to McDonals's every week before church. My Son-In-Law just came out of the closet as they call it. He has destroyed the life of my 6 yr old Grandson and the life of my 11 yr old Granddaughter. until you quity supporting their cause I will not be going back to McDonald's. I do not think you show family values at all. Thank you Elizabeth Dadin" "I am very disappointed that McDonald's is choosing to be so supportive of the gay rights agenda. I will be sure to take my patronage elsewhere." "have not eaten at McDonals in over a year and will not anytime soon." "I have been a customer since I was a child. But my values are more important than my loyalty to McDonald's. Why can't you just sell food. I don't care who you hire or fire but I do care when you use my money to promote and applaud sin. I will pray for you while I eat somewhere else. Sincerly,R.Dukes" "As long as you openly attack the traditional family, we will not buy from McDonald's." "Ronald McDonald must've hired Bozo the Clown to make a decision like this. You could've just taken out an advertisement saying "families not welcomed here". Take note that Ford's stock is now down to @ $4/share. You are taking the same road McDonalds. Our family of 7 will wave when we drive by to eat at Chik Fil A, Wendy's, Burger King, Hardees or anywhere but at your place." "I will not be buying anything from your company anymore. I don't want my money spent towards something I deeply oppose. Until you choose to do what AFA is asking I'll not eat there." "As working mother, I have depended on McDonald's for a quick meal and a safe place to take my children. I can no longer choose McDonald's as either. This is very disappointing!" "As a strong supporter of traditonal family values I will not be taking my family to your 'family' establishment until you take actions to change your current views." "Our family will be boycotting McDonald's because of your support of the homosexual agenda." "Your decsion re: the homosexual agenda is wrong and my family will no longer support your company by purchasing anything from your company until the decison is reversed." "Here's MY reaffirmation about the stand on NGLCC. I will NOT support McDonald's anymore. I will NOT even eat a salad there or grab an ice cream. I will find plenty of other places that support REAL family values and will choose to support them." "How sad that a family restaurant decided to become involved in the homosexual agenda." "With alll the money you make, why is it necessary to support the homosexual agenda? I plan to boycott your company until you decide to "denounce" this decision. The furture of our families in America are at risk." "Your corporate support of the homosexual agenda and gay marriage shows your lack of regard for the family structure and values our society has been built upon and has its strength and foundation. The message you are sending our children is confusing and harmful. You have chosen to cave in to political correctness when we need solid foundations for our children and familys. I do not choose to eat at your restaurant anymore with your blatant support of the homosexual agenda." "The CEO of McDonalds and its management seem to have confused ethnic diversity with sexual perversity. Christians are in favor of diverssity not perversity. Homosexuality is not an ethnicity. It is a behavioral choice. Since they have decided to endorse sexual pervisity , I say not with my money. I will no longer patronize Mcdonalds and I will recommend to all my friends and family, to boycott Mcdonalds. After all why should I fund the war against my Christian values with my money!" "I am disappointed to learn that McDonald's continues to support the gay and lesbian agenda. My family and I will choose other restaurants for our meals as long as McDonald's chooses to support the gay agenda." "All the philanthropic service will be meaningless if the basic unit of our society, the family, fails. I'll miss your fine food. We'll shop elsewhere knowing you do not support the family values we espouse. How sad!" "It saddens us to know that McDonalds has chosen to take this stand against Family values. This corp. had always been a great family supporter in the past and we have taken our children,grandchildren, and great grandchildren to eat their favorite foods, but NO MORE! As a christian family, we canot support what is and has always been in disagreement with Gods word. We will no longer be making vacation or coffee stops at ANY McDonalds and will forward this info on to all of our family and friends." "Well you guys have done it now! I wouldn't trade or buy from you if my life depended on it. And i will make sure all my friends and family know about this and i will incourage them not to buy from you either. JoAnn Stubbs" "McDonald's has always placed focus on children. Especially with Ronald McDonald House. What now, we they build special homes for gays?? McDonalds, think about the example your now setting." "I am a busy mother and grandmother, so our family eats out a lot! I refuse to support a company that so openly supports the gay agenda. You will not get any business from me until you change your policy of supporting the gay agenda! Shelly Smith" "I am deeply saddened that such an American Icon has to promote the homosexual way of life. I have friends that are homosexual...I love them but HATE the SIN! It's just like every other sin, it is just a sin. It would be like supporting alcoholism or murdering.Drastic, I know but I'm trying to make a point that I don't and won't support a sin. My children LOVE Micky D's, but I will just have to tell them that we can no longer support McDonald's!" "I'm very disappointed in McDonald's attitude. My son loves happy meals and I would eat lunch there several times a week, but we will be going somewhere else now." "To whom it may concern: I will not go to your resturant due to the fact you are financially supporting the homosexual agenda. We care about these people and their salvation. They must not feel homosexuallity is right. Me and my family will not step foot in your doors until you pull your money out from this agenda." "Mickey D's has been my fast food restaurant of choice for many many years, but unless you, as a company, stop supporting the gay community over everyone else, I will not darken one of your doors again. This information will also be passed along to three different churches with which my family has affiliation, consisting of about 8000-9000 member here in the upstate of South Carolina." "Making a decision to corporately promote an agenda that is so far away from family values has caused you to lose many customers and supporters, including our family and those within our sphere of influence. It is very disheartening to know you would choose the gay and lesbian agenda versus that of traditional family values. You can't choose both, since they are on opposing ends of the spectrum. When you choose one, you automatically do not choose the other. Poor choice." "As a mother who is raising children to have good moral values,I will no longer take my children to McDonalds. I wish that this company would stand up for the traditional family. Until then no more of our business." "My daughter and I eat at McDonald's two to three times per week. I do not hate anyone but God clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. I thik remaining neutral is better than choosing to stand for this lifestyle." "I am appalled at McDonalds supporting the homosexual agenda. I have eaten my last egg McMuffin and Big Mack (sorry McDonalds)because of your self destructive position on this matter. My friends and family shall be informed of your position on this issue..." "I am disappointed that McDonalds as a corporation is supporting the gay and lesbian agenda and using their money as a means of influencing the politics in this area. I've never seen McDonalds support family or traditional marriage which needs it's fair share of support, yet now you decide as a corporation to support a destructive and hedonistic lifestyle concerned only with self-infatuation and self-indulgence regardless of consequence to oneself or society. You have lost me as a customer, my children and anyone else that I have influence with, until you change your position as a corporation." "McDonald's has long been associated with the American Family. There are those that are striving to change the image of the American Family, as McDonald's seems to be a part of. It saddens those of us(which happens to actually be the majority, not the minority)who know that the American Family is the TRADITIONAL family as designed by the Creator of marriage and family. Unfortunately, our family will no longer be able to patronize your business due to your choice to affiliate yourself with the undermining of America itself, the breakdown of the family unit." "In my opinion McDonalds has ceased to be a family oriented business therefore I will do all I can to keep my family and friends from patronizing any of these establishments" "Our family has patronized your food establishment for many years-35 to 40 years,but with your resolve to support the homosexual movement my family and as many friends that I can contact will Boycott McDonald's. You are going against every thing traditional Marriage stands for. I am appalled that you would do such a thing. Evidently you think that the homosexual community can support your establishments . My family will not eat at your store until you change your stand on this issue!!! D. George, Georgia" "What were you thinking? Maybe 5% or less of the population is gay, but you have turned your backs on the other 95% for reasons I can't imagine. You can kiss my business goodbye." "I was so disappointed to learn that McDonalds is a firm supporter of the gay and lesbian agenda. Up to now we felt you were a family restaurant. We will not be taking our children or grandchildren to McDonalds anymore." "Our family will eat at other restaurants and tell everyone we possibly can to do the same until you reverse your support of the homosexual agenda and once again become a "family" restaurant!!! This news will spread like wildfire and you stand to loose a tremendous amount of $$$$$!!" "I am very disapointed to hear of your support of the homosexual lifestyle. Over the past 30 years, I have been responsible for van loads and even BUS loads of children and youth stopping at McDonalds to and from retreats, camps, concerts or for inexpensive outings. Until I learn of a reversal in your corporate policy, OUR BURGERS AND SHAKES WILL BE PURCHASED ELSEWHERE!" "As long as you support the Gay and Lesbian movement, including homosexual marriage, we will not be eating at McDonalds." "Myself and my family like McDonald's more than other fast food chains. However due to McDonald's open support of the gay community we will no longer be able to frequent your restaurants. I would have hoped McDonald's would have maintained a 'neutral' stance but you did not. Thank you, Tom Petrowski" "Shame on you McDonald's" "I am very sorry that you decided to support the gay/lesbian groups. I will tell all of my friends and relatives not to go to any of the McDonalds stores." "Until I hear that you are not supporting the homosexual agenda I will not be visiting any of your establisments." "Our family is very disappointed in the stand that you have made on this issue. Our family and friends won't be patronizing any of your establishments. We ask that you stay neutral as a corporation on this issue, and reaffirm what you used to stand for, and that was family values, traditional family values." "I will never enter a McDonald's again!" "Dear McDonald's Corporation, Why would you get involved with the gay and lesbian agenda? My family has been a great supporter of Mc Donald's for years. Unfortunately, we will have to go elsewhere for a hamburger or breakfast sandwich." "I am sorry that you have chosen to actively support the gay community--- You have done so much for the community and the Ronald McDonald house, I don't understand how you would take a stand on this issue. I support traditional family values and would expect a food establishment to do the same, or at least remain neutral." "I live in Saltillo, MS and noticed that a big new McDonald has been built in our expanding community. It is very near Tupelo where we also have a McDonalds at our mall. I am disturbed that you would choose to support such a horrible lifestyle above the traditional family. Why businesses are beginning to support sin is beyond me. What are you expecting from this? Will it make your life and the lives of Americans better? I don't think so. I do know that I will not visit any McDonalds nor take my grandchildren to McDonald again. I do hope you will change your mind and back off from supporting the homosexual movement and support the kind of family that our Lord gave us. Thank you and I will pray for you." "I do not hate or dislike homosexuals, but I do not agree with their lifestyle. I also do not appreciate them imposing their own choices upon me and my children. I will no longer purchase a single item from McDonalds. I will choose other restaurants to spend my money." "My family and I will not be visiting any of McDonald's locations as long as the stance toward promoting the gay and lesbian lifestyle remain the same." "I am extremely disappointed in your decision to use your corporation to promote the homosexual agenda. My family will no longer be eating at your restaurants." "As a LONGTIME customer of Mickey D's, I am really disappointed in this flagrant support of the homosexual agenda. I am sorry to say I will take my family's business elsewhere until or unless this policy is changed. I can't believe Ronald McDonald would be happy!" "Shame on you, McDonald's!" "I am not going to McDonald's. My family is not going to McDonald's." "I have 4 kids and used to eat breakfast at McD often. I'm joining this boycott because of the extremely irresponsible and destructive social stand McD is taking." "we will not support Mc Donald's because our morals and belief for family and God are not what the Mc Donalds share." "The very first fast food place I ate at was a McDonalds. My siblings and I used to have a contest of who had the longest french fry! I have been eating at McDonalds ever since and I'm 54 years old. It has always been my first choice for fast food, and even on the diet my special needs son is on, there are many things he can eat at McDonalds. I am sad to say I will stop eating at McDonald's as long as McDonald's supports the gay agenda and neglects the traditional family which has been so good to them." "They have taken God out of our schools, the Ten Commandments out of our courts and public places, and now are making a disgusting act against the normal family life. This is not diversity, its division. We have spent thousands of dollars at McDonalds over my life time. But we will not spend any more of my time or money there." "I can not condone what you are doing so I am sorry but because you are not being neutral, I will have to go to another fast food restaurant. Phyllis Stephens" "Count me out of your customer base until this policy changes" "I am very disappointed in the McDonald's corporation for not staying neutral in this culture war. I will definitely stop going to McDonald's from now on." "McDonald's is supposed to be a family friendly place to take the family, especially young children to eat. As well as a place for teens to be able to afford to eat. This homosexual agenda is not only NOT family friendly, it is anti-family." "Please, Jesus is soon to come. Don't let it be said "Too Late"." "McDonalds a company known for family values! i'm shocked that you would endorse values that would go against what Ray Kroch stood for. as a former Manager and employee of Mcdonalds i'm deeply disappointed in the stance your taking corporately! that is why i'm participating in this boycott. WOW what a change you have made as a corporation that i once would be proud to say i worked for!" "We usually eat at McDonalds 4 times/week. Its to bad you feel you have to promote a sinful lifestyle (Romans chp. 1) just common sense tells you its wrong. We will see you again only if you stop promoting and ungodly lifestyle." "You no longer represent the true family ideals. To bad. Much business will be lost. I am one of nine plus parents, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and so on. You reap what you sew and diversity is not what this is about. Courage, which you do not possess is what this is about." "it is really sad that an all amereican corporation like mcdonalds has take this position to support agressively the gay agenda rather than remaining neutral. it forces me and millions of others like me to vote with my dollar. i hearby declare that i shall never purchase another item from mcdonalds as long as they support the gay agenda. my wife and i are in the habit of purchasing meals from mcdonald on the average of 4-5 time per week." "Why would someone like McDonalds choose to get on board the homosexual agenda. As family oriented heterosexuals, we are not out campaigning for our "sexual rights" and you as a corporation should not be either. Its a pathetic 'join the bandwagon' choice as far as I am concerned. I just hope and pray it SERIOUSLY affects your sales. There are more of us out here than you assume, we are just not knocking on your doors asking you to support a perverse and anti-family lifestyle. Liking Burger King a whole lot more these days. Traditionally Married with children" "You will lose my support and my families because you have chosen to support an unGODly lifestyle." "I am very disappointed with this recent decision to support and promote a homosexual agenda! This decision is inconsistent with the mainstream moral values on which this country was extablished and has prospered. Hence, I will demonstrate my dissatisfaction by no longer patronizing McDonalds! Ric Beach Princeton, Illinois" "I have eaten at Mc D's since I was a child and take my family. since you cannot stay neutral in such a personal debatable subject which is of no concern to your corp than I have no choice but to not support your business. Barba Family, Ca" "My family and I will no longer eat at McDonalds since you have chosen to support the gay agenda. The majority of Americans believe in traditional family values and you have chosen to flaunt that in your customers' faces. I will tell all my friends about your support of the gay agenda." "As a pastor, father and a customer of McDonalds for many years, I am disappointed in your decision to get involved in this issue. I strongly feel that God's Word condemns same sex relationships. I would encourage McDonalds to stay clear of this issue and stop supporting the homosexual agenda. Until it stops McDonalds has lost my business. I will be praying for those who run this business that they will make the right choice in this matter." "NO MORE BIG MAC'S FOR MY FAMILY EVER AGAIN" "I do not hate homosexuals, but I do believe that their lifestyle is harmful in many ways. I have always thought McDonald's to be a symbol of family tradition, but now I must stand up and say I disapprove of your staunch stance to promote homosexuality. I choose to boycott your establishment until I see a change in your policy on supporting the homosexual lifestyle and I will pass this information along to anyone else who stand for family values." "What happened to family first? Our family consistently visits McDonald's 5 times a week. We will not go again until you renounce your gay support." "I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE AT mcdonalds, My Spouse and I or our grand children, and it is attack on family values." "We are very disappointed in the fact that you won't stop your support of the homosexual agenda! I will NOT go to McDonald's permanently now! I would think you would see how this is NOTHING to support! Can't you see that as a company you really NEED to keep you nose out of things like this! How can you claim to be "Family Oriented" when you obiviously don't care about the family & our children today? You will pay the price in many ways for this foolishness, just as FORD did!!!" "This is truly a sad day when a business that gained great growth as a 'family business' has chosen to promote the greatest threat to families ever. McDonalds has now become part of the amoral nightmare!" "I'm a business traveler. I won't stop at McDonald's until they change their position on this issue." "I cannot support your company due to your support of the homosexual movement McDonald's has chose to be a part of. My family and I eat at McDonald's several times a week. I gladly give up this convenient meal option and take the time and expense of making family meals or going to a more expensive place to eat rather than support this agenda." "Sorry to see McDonald's leaders using the corporation to influence personal politics. I don't believe the founder of McDonald's would have done so. The NGLCC agenda is the child of a radical minority and NOT "all-American." This move will hurt McDonald's future image. Our family and friends will definitely not support McDonald's as long as the company's actions are this far from neutral." "I have 2 girls who love to go to McDonalds but if your values are degrading to us as a family we will be taking our children and our business somewhere else!!" "I am but one family but I will have an impact by informing all of my relatives and fellow church members about this issue. We have chosen to spend our money at locations that support traditional family values. We shall continue to do so even if it means that we will permanently have to do so. So that you know, our family usually eats at your facilities as much as 10 times a week. We usually have childrens parties but you have seen fit to completely stop those actions. I will do every thing possible to inform anyone I come into contact with to make them aware of your actions. You have taken a well respected business and have destroyed your reputation. If this is the direction that you truely believe you should take I hope you are boycotted to the point that you lose your business and are closed down! I pray that you consider your options and make the RIGHT and GODLY decision for your own sake." "Sorry to see McDonald's leaders using the corporation to influence personal politics. I don't believe the founder of McDonald's would have done so. The NGLCC agenda is the child of a radical minority and NOT "all-American." This move will hurt McDonald's future image. Our family and friends will definitely not support McDonald's as long as the company's actions are this far from neutral." "I have nothing against homosexuals but we have to preserve the sanctity of the institution of marriage and traditional family values." "I waited a LONG time to be BLESSED with my children and now grandchildren - it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to raise these children up "in the nurture and admonination of the Lord" - who gave them to me in the first place! These babies will not be happy with Nana when we pass by the local McDonald's, but that's OK - they will learn to love kiddy meals from other burger joints! I'm very UPSET with Mcdonald's for taking such a stand on an issue that is such a complete abomination to the Lord! I'm afraid this action on your part will overshadow the "good" you've tried to do to benefit children with cancer! When you end up like the FORD Motor Company, how then will you be able to help those precious children and their families?!?!?!" "I am extremely disgusted that McDonald's wouldn't remain neutral on the "diversity" issue. All Christians who want our country to remain a Godly nation need to boycott McDonald's. If this country doesn't get back to Christian principles, God will take his protective hand away from us. I sometimes wonder if he hasn't already...Wake up America!!!!" "i think i will have it my way and go to Burger King from now on because i am discusted that there are no family values left in America not even at McDonalds, i will not patrionize your restraunt any more" "My business will not be at McDonalds. I'll find other places to dine." "We are ashamed that McDonalds has chosen to support such immorality! There are other restaurants available who will not use our funds to destroy our morality!!! I will be advising our family to stop eating at McDonalds! Time to dump this stock!" "First I want to say I have enjoyed the part of Americana that McDonalds has represented in my life. It saden's me to see McDonalds fall into the same social trap that has destroyed so many American Icons. People Who come to these organizations with no sense of what these corporations are or who made them great. Namely the American family. And the American family does NOT agree with the gay and lesbian social agenda. They do not now and will never. The crime in this is that the people who convince the leaders of the once great company's to embrace these idea's fail to understand that these are issue's that their customer base feels so strong about that it MAKES them look for other business' to take thier money. Hopefully McDonalds has not gone to far to turn around. Brian" "My family and I will no longer patronize Mc Donalds. As an indivdual you can support any agenda you want. I am sure there are lots of employees and suppliers who do NOT agree with your support of NGLCC. The name Mc Donalds has always been associated with family friendly values, how sad to see you degrade the name." "Dear McDonald's, My heart ached when the news broke that you were using my hard earned money spent at your restaurants to support a "sex" issue. You said you wanted to "impact the world" - if you want to impact the world, then why not use that money to feed beans and rice to the hungry or improve your recycling research or promote recycling around the world, or donate it to research to cure AIDS? I haven't purchased anything from McDonalds since the first announcement was made, and will continue to boycott all your endeavors, including the McDonald house. Please - for the sake of "impacting the world", don't continue to support someone's bedroom issues in public, use the profits to impact a much greater society - help support research to cure a disease such as AIDS, or clean up our environment or feed the hungry everyday . . ." "My family usually decides between McDonald's and Wendy's almost 50 50. Now, given McDonald's stance on the homosexual agenda, we will always go to Wendy's in the future. It is a "no-brainer" for my family." "I have contacted you before and expressed my displeasure with your support of the homosexual agenda. At that time, I said I would not patronize your business again as long as you take this stance, and I haven't! I will continue to go up the road to Wendy's as long as you continue to promote alternative lifestyles" "Diversity? are you not doing the opposite by supporting one group and not all! Please! stay in the food business. For community service, do just that and stick to serving those who have a "neutral" need like hunger and illness. I will not be eating at McDonalds, period." "As a mother and a grandmother, I stongly disapprove of your stand on Gay and Lesbion. There are plenty of places to take my grandchildren. We live in a small town and it will be worth it to me to drive to another town to take them some place other than McDonald's. We will never step foot in a McDonald's ever again!! We have been customers of McDonald's as long as they have been open. But that will all change!!" "I'm done...even 0.89 extra large diet Coke won't bring me in." "Happy Meals ? ! My family is NOT HAPPY with YOUR CHOICE - We will chose other food establishments to partonize, since you can't support traditional family values..." "I doubt if they would ever admit it but Disney, Ford, K-Mart and several others have taken a downward fall because of Christians rising up to take a stand on moral issues. My 11 grandchildren always got McD gift certificates for Christmas and birthdays but no more. My husband and I travel the USA and always stopped at McD for coffe, fries and meals but I will never support any lifestyle that goes against the teachings of the Bible. This is a shock and disappointment that McD has taken this stand. It hurts me not to buy there but it will hurt you more in your profits. Mrs. R J, Little Rock, AR" "I do no hate homosexuals, but I believe their lifestyle to be harmful in many ways, and will not promote it. I cannot help a company prosper that promotes it either." "there are more conservatives who appreciate traditional family values. i have eat at mcdonalds about 5 times a week, but now i will stop unless you stand up for us and renounce your gay agenda" "Raising our children and now caring for our granchildren (part time) has bolstered my resolve to continue to emphasize strong family values which will carry them all into the future. Your position regarding homosexuality does not fit in with those family values and I will not participate in the support of McDonalds until your position has changed and you return to a family oriented company once more. I'll be watching to see your reaction to this outpouring of strong disagreement with your stand on homosexuality." "As a mother and grandmother of 10 I do not approve of MCDonald promoting Homosexual and gay ayenda..A business which stands for american families and has done so much for children with cancer, I am appalled at your stance for something as homosexual agenda. This should be neutral grounds. So I have to take a stand and boycott McDonald's. I will also make sure all families I know will also boycott. There are other places to get a better hamburger." "Our family has been customers of Mcdonalds for years but we will not continue until your position on this issue changes." "Dear Sirs: I have spent lots of $$ over 30 years with my children and now grandchildren. Won't spend anymore and will pass word. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR SUPPORT OF HOMOSEXUALITY !!!!! patti sheppard,Burleson Texas" "I was often at McDonalds with one or more of my 6 kids. As with most kids, you are their favorite resturant. It will be hard to tell them why they can't eat there anymore but I will find a way. There are other resturant options that don't choose to make the statement for homosexuality that you have." "Diversity is a lame term for the disgusting agenda you attempt to promote. If you want to support that agenda, do it privately, not corporately. You have most certainly damaged your reputation as a family restaurant, for some it is irreparable. You have nothing to be proud of by making a decision like this. Soon you will be standing before God trying to explain your bonehead actions!" "As a mother and grandmother, I am extremely disappointed in the position that McDonaold's is taking in supporting the homosexual agenda. I have been so thank for for all the help and support McDonald's has given the public over the years with the Ronald McDonald House and many charities that have been helped by McDonalds. I am heart sick to hear that your coorporation is turning from the honorable stand you have taken in the past and turned from family values. I will not support your business and will tell others not to until you change your stand and return to the values your company was built on." "Supporting the homosexual life style is wrong. I do not wish to support any organization which attacks family values." "as a stock holder in your company i am appaled. not only will we boycot macdonalds we will also encourage others to do the same and will certainly sell this stock sue redmond" "As a family (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc.), we are very disappointed to hear of your promotion of the homosexual agenda. We want you to know that we have friends engaged in this lifestyle and love them as we do any of our friends. However, we would never promote homosexuality, as it is most definitely a breakdown of the family unit as it was originally intended. We are not asking you to fire homosexual personnel or not allow homosexuals into your stores -- we are asking you to change your decision on promoting the gay agenda. Until we hear you have decided to promote traditional family values or remain neutral on the subject, unfortunately, we will be joining the boycott of your Company." "You just lost my business." "I feel McDonalds should not support gay and lesbians and America should stand up and put God first in our lives, believing and living as the Ten Commandments tell us." "A family friendly food source - NOT! Rather a food supplier trying to become a political force to push an ungodly anenda. Your food has never been that good anyway, and your staff is rarely capable of getting an order correct. It will be my privilege to never eat at one of your "restaurants" again." "Homosexuality is strictly against the Bible. We will not buy at any McDonald's and will encourage our friends to do the same! Mary Lou Taylor" "I have worked and supported and was proud of McDonalds since 1972. Now I find it an abomination to not remain neutral on the gay rights agenda, an issue that the Bible speaks so clearly about. You can and have done well to help sick children and their families, but you have crossed the line here." "My family will no longer have our weekly outing to McDonalds to eat and play. I will no longer get lunch at McDonalds. I have no problem with employment of Gay persons, but when, as a corporation, McDonalds promotes and gives political clout to a lifestyle I can not support, my money you will not have." "I am very disappointed that a company who in the past has been so family friendly has chosen to publicly support the gay/lesbian agenda. Since you have chosen to do so, my family and I will no longer support your establishments." "I will no longer patronize any McDonalds. Nor will any of my family and friends until you change your stance on the G/L issue. Word of mouth travels fast. You are no longer a family-friendly restaurant and we will choose to eat elsewhere. Shame on you!" "The whole homosexual agenda is completely immoral...I, nor my family will spend our money in any McDonald's..." "I drive every day doing service work and I eat at McDonalds a Lot! But I will choose to eat at other places, like Burger King until McDonalds changes there stance." "We are very disappointed in McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. We thought McDonald's was a family-oriented business. Did you forget that homosexual lifestyles=no procreation therefore no family??? We will be boycotting McDonald's until they change their policies and return to the family friendly place they used to be." "I am disappointed with McDonald's aggressive, proactive position against families. I remember when Starbucks took the same position and proactively supported GLAAD a few years back and I sold my stock as well discontinued my weekly lattes. I wonder how Starbucks is doing lately?" "I am extremely disappointed you have decided to promote a social issue; one that is so controversial is a huge blunder on your part. Main steam America does NOT agree with your agenda. I will NOT support McDonald's from this point forward. Our large family will not eat at McD's again. Shame on you for trying to use your money and power to promote a social agenda! Eva" "It takes a man and a woman to have children to carry this earth on. There would be no little babies born. Where would we be." "McDonald's should be what it is supposed to be - a fast food restaurant with family values! We won't eat at your restaurant again until you stop supporting the homosexual agenda and go back to striving to be the best FAST FOOD RESTAURANT with family values where I feel comfortable bringing my children!!" "Re affirm ? Recognize your part in this family based arena, do that which is best for all people. Protect the rights of all peoples to work, live side by side. But reconsider the division you have chosen...... God's design for marriage or man's own thinking, Big Company's vs God." "I will not shop at McD and ask that my 10 grandchildren not be taken there!!!!!!!!" "I am not a religious person, but will"never" buy from McDonalds. Neither will my four children, 8 grandchildren, six friends or at least 11 friends of my children. Homosexuals only make up 2% of the population and are trying to destroy conventional marriage as well as normal parenting. The Gay Lobby is destroying certain aspects of public education and forcing gay recognition at the age of 5. NEVER, NEVER AGAIN." "I am ashamed that McDonalds has chosen to support gay,lesbian and transgender issues and lifestyle. These are NOT healthy values for our country. And it certainly does not make me want to eat at McDonalds." "For me and my house we will not do business with McDonald's until your stand on the G/L issue and support is done with...we will wait and see on your decision..." "As two retired seniors we often to our town's local McDonald to have breakfast, but rest assured that is in the past for your company. We will not support any business that goes against the teachings of our Lord and Savior. Guess your company will survive on the G/L population from now on." "My kids and I love Mickey D's. It makes me so sad that ya'll have chosen this path. No more fries and quarter pounders until ya'll decide to go neutral. I pray, Mr. Ellis, that God will open up your spiritual eyesight, and you will see the horrific sin that you are living and repent from it. I will pray for your soul. Sue Harper, Fort Worth, TX" "McDonald's officers and decision makers should go back to the Judeo-Christian heritage of this beautiful country that we love. Nothing against the homosexuals as a people, but the endorsement of their chosen lifestyle that goes against the God-fearing and God-honoring heritage of this country. Multi-racial and multi-ethnic - yes that's diversity but homosexuality is an alternative lifestyle that promotes pedophilia, sodomy,sexual perversion, and all sorts of sexual diseases like aids." "I am so disappointed in McDonalds. My grandchildren love to eat at McDonalds and my opinion was that it was a family oriented business. But, if you fully support the gay lifestyle, I will have to reconsider taking my grandchildren to eat at your establishment. We will probably start eating at the local Burger King." "A brief study of world history will reveal to you that every nation that embraced homosexuality and then passed laws to support it was destroyed rather quickly. Your choice to embrace the homosexual lifestyle, which is a conscious choice, is a step towards this destruction of our country. Please reconsider your choice to be promoter of this destructive lifestyle. Please know that I love Sausage & Egg McMuffins but I have not and will not ever make a purchase from you again until you choose to remain neutral in this issue. . ." "I am shocked and appalled that you would support the homosexual agenda. I guess no more Big Mac's for this family until you change your stance of these issues!" "I have been a costumer of McDonald's since I was a young man. I am now 63. I took my children to McDonald's, and now that I have grandchildren, I have taken them there also. But no more. Not until I am assured McDonald's has changed their stance of the G/L agenda. I can have a Big---- attack at another restaurant." "I know that God is not for it and niether am I. McDonald's is just like any other resturant, they too want to make money and by doing so they have to support any and everyone to make them HAPPY." "My family and I will not dine at McDonald's until your stand on G/L issues change. We will wait your response." "Istopped going to McDonals as soon as this was made known-I cherich my grandbabies and do not want to help expand a lifestyle that is not of God." "We will stop going to McDonald's because we cannot contribute indirectly to something so harmful to people and our country as the promotion of a homosexual, sinful agenda. Janis" "I will no longer purchase food from a restaurant that I have enjoyed for the last 30 years. It was a place my children looked forward to visiting, bringing many happy memories of family time together. It truly breaks my heart that you have chosen to participate in this agenda which should have nothing to do with the restaurant business, especially one that advertises to mostly children and youth. Please withdraw from the NGLCC and remain one of America's favorite places to eat. If not, I am afraid that you are offending a great number of people . . ." "Our family w/38 members will NEVER eat at McDonalds again!" "I am boycotting all McDonald's restaurants as a part of the AFA sponsored boycott. I will not spend one dime until the boycott is lifted. Shame on you." "I am a mother of three children. By attending a Christian school my kids have been somewhat sheltered from things that involve homosexuality. The only things I want them to know are the things that come from the Bible, which says it is wrong. Now, McDonald's is going to force me to explain things to my two older children that I would rather not do until they are older. They look forward to those after school trips to McDonald's. It's bad enough that we have to lock channels out of our TVs. Now we have to start boycotting restaurants. What's next?" "Since you have chosen to support perversive, and anti family values, I can no longer support you." "We have been eating at Mickey D's for over 37 years, but we are done if you continue to support the homosexual agenda." "I will never again eat or buy another item from McDonalds until they agree to remain nuetral in this battle. If they take sides against God, count me out! Thank You, Rodney" "I am so disappointed in McDonald's--supposedly a family-oriented organization. Rest assured I and my family will NOT patronize your business again until you change your stance on the G/L issue." "McDonalds is no longer a family friendly restaurant in my opinion. Homosexuality is not conducive with traditional family values. Thus my family and all those that I have influence with will choose to eat at other restaurants. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STANCE!" "I'm truly stunned that McDonald's would choose to go so blatantly against the vast majority of its customers' values." "You could have donated that money to a much better charitable cause, such as cancer research, etc. I am very disappointed that you would give that much money to gays and lesbians instead, when you do not donate any money to those of us who are not gay." "Bill Ford drove Ford to near bankrupcy with the same blind belief, before he figured it out, that his new friends only represented 3% of the population... Wendy's and Burger King salute your choice. My recommendation is sell MCD....." "My family and I will never support McDonalds again due to the support of the anti-family homosexual agenda that McDonalds supports. McDonald's has become an anti-God organization that represents and supports the very things that will destroy a nation and a people. Burger King and Wendy's from now on." "As a pastor I cannot continue to give my business to McDonald's after their blatant refusal to throw their support behing the NGLCC. I am greatly disappointed that such and American icon decides to move in this direction. I will encourage members of my church to join me in the boycott of McDonald's." "Chic-Filet here we come! I can't see supporting McDonald's when I don't support the gay agenda." "My husband and I eat breakfast at the McDonald's in Bryant and Benton and Little Rock in Arkansas once or twice a week. No more! We will eat elsewhere now that we've learned that your company is using it's size and resources to promote a lifestyle that is in direct opposition to God's plan for family and marriage and sex. You will alienate the masses in order to placate a few confused people. Bad choice!" "After reading about your affirmation of gay marraige I have no desire to support you in doing so, Therefore I have had my last Big Mac. Rod Anderson" "Dear McDonalds, I have been eating your food for years... It is no small thing for me to stop eating at McDonalds, as I usually have breakfast and lunch there. When I heard of this boycott, I decided it would be the right thing to join in.. I love ALL people, regardless of their personal choices or activities - but when you choose to support things that I am not in favor of, I will have choose to spend my money elsewhere. I'm sorry you have taken such a position on this homosexual issue. I wish it were not even something that we had to discuss. I would rather not have to explain to my kids why we are not eating at McDonalds, but you have forced the issue. I will miss your food and your shakes, but there are plenty of other places I guess. Please consider taking a different stance -perhaps even supporting family values. I would be very happy to be a customer again!" "Hello McDonald's, I resent the use of my money that I have spent with your Corp. being used on the promotion on the homosexuality craze. You will not get any more of my dollars! Leonard Ruffin" "I'm a grandmother, and sickened by McDonald's moral choices. No member of my family, including grandchildren, will eat at McDonald's again. I hope this helps their stock price plummet so the shareholders hear our Christian voices loud and clear!!" "I'm sorry to hear of your support of the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. I will not support a company who endorses the breakdown of our culture and values." "I have 3 children so we eat at McDonalds a lot. But after finding out they support the homosexual agenda we will no longer be able to patronize your establishment. That saddens me as well as my children." "Caring about child appropriate issues should be your #1 priority -- not your own political agenda! This is very disappointing." "A family can exist with out a country but a country cannot exist with out the family. You have chosen to stand against the family and God and stand for the further degradation of this nation. We are supposed to be a republic founded on the words of God in the Bible but even as a democracy the majority should rule. The NGLCC represents an extreme, perverse minority of our population who wants to overthrow the morals the rest of us believe in. They want any voice of opposition stamped out as well as free speech and free practice of religion (especially from Christians). That doesn’t sound very constitutional to me. . ." "I sure will miss my Big Mac and fries but I guess I'll adjust. I like the BK chicken sandwick pretty well." "I will be eating more chikin and no mcdonalds." "How disappointed we are in your decision to forsake the majority of Americans who believe in Traditional Family Values. Your desire to be in the forefront of the NGLCC w/money & board membership makes us in mainsteam America wonder how important we really are to your corporation. I had hoped to be able to enjoy many trips to McDonalds w/ my grandson just as I enjoyed time there w/ my Grandmother but obviously you would rather not have us as a customer. I cannot in good conscious spend our money in a place that I know will in turn give part of it to fund an agenda which seeks to destroy values and morals which I hold dear. I can't help wondering what Ray Kroc would say. Give Ronald our fondest regards and let him know that we will be back when we feel welcome again." "Once again christians will take the brunt of speaking out about this issue. However if the shoe fits then we are unashamed to wear it. Please keep in mind what this boycott is NOT about: It is NOT about hiring gay and lesbians, it is NOT about the right of gay and lesbian to eat in your establishment, it is NOT about the right of gay and lesbians to work for your establishment. It IS ABOUT your corporation choosing to fully support a cultural lifestyle that is totally opposed to FAMILY as your founders defined family and how many Americans still define FAMILY today. Unfortunatly we are a drop in the bucket of your profits worldwide but rest assured, you have lost another FAMILY of long time customers. C Barrett" "I am astounded at the business position taken directly in opposition to most families...who have been your customer base. I am a physician and will do what I can to make this known to all who will listen. I feel sorry for your local owners who will pay for this arrogant cultural posture. You made your choice and now I will make mine." "It is disappointing to discover that you have chosen to support the Gay & Lesbian Rights. Families are under attack because of this and we will no longer take our family to eat at McDonald's until you change your position." "It seems when the founder of a business dies and leaves it to another it goes to down. That is sad. McDonald's has been a part of my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. Our family agrees WE DISAGREE WITH YOU. No more McDonald's for us as long as you support the G/L movement." "You support the homosexual agenda which is an abomination of Gods teachings. You support the Mexican National Soccer Team instead of The American Team which proves to be anti-American. Why don't you just leave America instead of hating it's values. I will send all my business to Burger King and Wendys." "As a former McDonald's employee and manager I am flabergasded that you the "family" company could find anything good to support the Gay-Lesbian movement! Do you think God cannot see! Your blessings are about to be removed! Beware. When family quits buying your food, the end is near. I quit today!" "I will no longer be taking my grandkids to McDonald's!" "I currently live in Torino and prefer McDonald's coffee here to Expresso. No more. TOO BAD for YOU!" "Mcdonalds has been slipping the last few years but now they are completely dead to me no more golden arches for me and my family!!!" "My husband and I will not be eating at Mcdonalds anytime soon until they withdrawl of support of this Abomination. I agree with diversarity however, you need to draw the line and not support the Parades like Gay Pride Parades and ECT. Mcdonalds was a fun place to eat for children but , now your makng majority of the new resturants or current like coffee shops. Where are the playgrounds at? Well, no more wating at your place." "I am so disappointed to hear about the strong financial support that McDonald's is giving toward the homosexual agenda. McDonald's has always come across as a family friendly place. Our family has always enjoyed eating at your restaraunts. When we travel we have almost exclusively eaten at McDonalds. Since you have added your snack wraps and salads we have even enjoyed your menu more. It grieves me to hear of your support for this unhealthy, aborant life style. I'm afraid we will have to stop frequenting your restaraunts until you change your policies. Karen Harmer Fishers, IN" "A neutral stand for Mickey D's would have been a real wise choice...our church is a rather large one on Long Island, and with the wonder of the internet will change the fast food decision for the congregants...everyone makes choices, and McDonald's choice for neutrality will spur a decline in sales for your business; bad choices in business make businesses close. Those in corporate McDonalds, who own a McDonalds, and oppose this decision, please take a stand and let your voice be heard! Good-bye happy meals, and iced coffees, we will frequent another fast food facility. God bless America!" "Have our children not paid the price for our perverse adult activities fetishes enough? Do u think pedophilia is ok? Well, by supporting the gay agenda, yiu are saying perversion is ok, and do not be fooled- homosexual relationships are based on perversion, SEXUAL perversion-just as pedophilia,rape,sodomy and other perverted crimes..SHAME!SHAME! I will protect my family, but not supporting your cause with our $." "I'm very disapointed, I have always taken my family to McDonalds and thought that it was family orinated. I myself have, up until now, eaten lunch almost every day but I will not patronize McDonalds until you change your stand." "All three of my children worked at McDonald's as students and we have eaten there for years - NO LONGER !!! We are not gay bashers but to actively promote a deviant lifestyle is wrong." "How can you cater to family and kid's and support homosexual's.Shame on you. Proverbs 14:12 says There is a way that seems right to a man,but in the end it leads to death. Wise up before its to late." "Our family will no longer eat at McDonald's, but instead visit our Christian friends at Chick-fil-a. Shame on you McD's." "Supporting the homosexual agenda has caused my family and friends NOT to support McDonalds by dining elsewhere!" "I've been a McDonald's customer for years, but when you choose to support the NGLCC you lose my patronage. I will also tell my friends and family of your decision to engage in culture politics." "I am very disappointed that it is necessary to stop giving my business to McDonalds. However, since you no longer represent family value and now will support the gay life style, I am boycotting your business." "Stop this insanity. Please support the millions of families that have helped you build your business. We are talking about children here!! Children who need a Mommy and a Daddy, not two of one or the other! I have stopped frequenting your shops and will tell many others to do the same." "Even though I think your chocolate milkshakes are the best anywhere and your chicken salads are wonderful, I choose not to buy anything from McDonalds. I vote with my feet and encourage others to do so because of your duplicity in marketing your company as family friendly out of one side of your mouth and proudly supporting the homosexual agenda out of the other side of your mouth. Make a choice -- you are either on the side of the traditional family or the side of perversion of the family. I cannot allow my money to be used to support a movement that is as disastrous to the American nation as the homosexual movement with its agenda to destroy the definition of the traditional and Biblically instituted marriage of one man and one woman." "McDonalds, I will not support your organization as long as you continue your policy to donate to NGLCC. This is in opposition to my Christian belief and although I do not condemn those who sin, I will not willingly support sin either." "I am very disappointed to hear that you are continuing to support the alternative lifestyle. Our country was founded on biblical principles and morals, and homosexuality is clearly wrong according to the Bible. You are getting ready to build a brand new McDonalds in Rusk, TX, which is close to where I live. I was looking forward to having you there, but I will not be supporting your place of business, as long as you continue to openly support this lifestyle. You could choose to remain neutral, but you have not chosen to do so. Therefore, I will have to choose to take my business elsewhere. I will not support this lifestyle, and I will pass this on to my family and friends and church friends. I pray you will reconsider your position on this very important issue." "My daughter who is 8 years old loved to go and get a Happy Meal, but understands why we will not patronize McDonald's restaurants until they change their stand on the homosexual agenda. How sad it is where we are as a nation, God forgive us." "Your business exists for the sole purpose of providing food to paying customers, not supporting an immoral lifestyle. I'll happily offer my patronage elsewhere; and by the way, I'll be sure to encourage my friends and family members to take their business elsewhere based upon McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. M. Jetton -- Fort Worth,TX" "I am deeply saddened,frustrated and angry that your corporation would choose to support such an Un-Godly and destructive lifestyle which is adding to the moral,physical and spiritual collapse of our nation. I like many others grew up with McDonalds as a favorite eatery and I will truly miss the occasions when I take my family there,but I can no longer support an institution that is now working to destroy the very values I have taught to my children for years.My prayers go out to those in your company who find themselves in this position and now must choose between their faith in Christ and the convictions that go with that and a job that puts food on the table.Just remember that history shows a long list of nations that went morally and spiritually bankrupt with economic collapse following after.No country or group of people can continue to disregard God's laws without reaping a terrible harvest of His judgment." "I am a grandmother of 6, mother of 3, stepmother of 3 more. I believe in the original design for marriage which includes children that your company wants from the parents and grandparents. You have lost mine until you get off the political bandwagon which undermines the natural family system, and takes money that I spend there to pay for it. Not happening!!! I am encouraging all my children to do the same. You are not the only fast food place on the block. I will go see the redheaded girl, with no political axe to grind." "I have really liked the changes in menu that MCD's has made in the last couple of years. I had stopped eating at McD's, but had started, again, choosing McD's since the menu changes. Now that you have joined the NGLCC I will go back to other fast food restaurants! You will not have my business until you withdraw from NGLCC and stand on family values." "Sadly we will be joining this boycott until McDonald's changes it stance if it ever. We ate at McDonald's no less than 7 times a week. We will take our business elsewheres to someone who does not feel they need their business to join a political issue where it doesn't belong." "Since learning of McDonald's aggressive support of the homosexual agenda several weeks ago, we quit patronizing McDonalds and now give our business to other restaurants who remain neutral in this social issue. We refuse to support McDonalds as long as they continue to support any organization that promotes the homosexual agenda. I will support any organization that promotes traditional marriage between a man and a woman as God has intended. The homosexual agenda will only result in the destruction of our civilization." "I will have to kiss those sausage mcmuffins goodbye. Your reponsibility lies not with gays but with the American people that helped build this empire. You have lost your integrity." "I will not be back to McDonalds. I have two daughters that claim to be homosexual, and it has hurt my family deeply. I will not claim that for them for I continue to pray for them both, but you are not helping. Homosexuality is wrong no matter who says its right. When God says its wrong its wrong period. No never ever will I darken the door of McDonalds and no one in my family, except I guess my two daughters." "Your immediate withdrawal of any support for the NGLCC will be absolutely necessary for me to continue patronizing any McDonalds establishment." "I remember when I was growing up, going to McDonald's was a fun FAMILY event that we looked forward to doing with our MOM AND DAD. I had enjoyed starting the same tradition with my own children but that will no longer be the case. Until McDonald's is willing to get their nose out of places it doesn't belong I will be keeping my families nose out of McDonald's." "I refuse to spend money at McDonald's if you promote the homosexual agenda. I have two grandchildren and we will go to Burger King or Wendy's for our quick meals on the go!" "As long as McDonald's chooses to support the homosexual agenda, our family chooses not to support McDonald's." "Sorry to hear this news. My husband and I enjoyed taking our 8 grandchildren to McDonald's for fun play and food. McDonald's has chosen not to be neutral but to be against my views on family. I can no longer support a restaurant that spends their money to fight against me." "From now on I will frequesnt Burger King, Wendy's Jack and the rest over McDonalds because of your stand on NGLCC." ""I am very upset in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be supporting your establishment. I cannot wait to pass on to all my co-workers, family and friends." "I am disappointed in your company. I enjoy your 99 cent menu, but we will be looking elsewhere until you decide to leave the G/L agenda alone." "just wanted to let you know i do not agree with your belief, as a company, that homosexuality is normal or safe. i promise you that i will eat at Burger King from now on." "I've supported AFA boycotts in the past and will support this one also. We take them seriously and so should you. There are many other fast food chains around and we don't need McDonald's..." "I am disappointed in your stand to push such a profoundly polarizing issue. I will no longer purchase anything from your company and will be sure my children follow suit. What started as a small time family oriented business has now become a mockery of America." "It is too bad that you feel necessary to PROMOTE an unhealthy lifestyle. You were once a traditional family symbol - now the name McDonald's will symbolize everything that is anti traditional family." "am in japan, and i am informing all my japanese friends of the need to boycott mcdonalds." "Since McDonald's is reaffirming that they support sodomy, I am reaffirming that my family will no longer patronize McDonalds. This was hard while we were on vacation, but is getting easier and easier each day. TN" "We are disappointed by McDonalds active support of the gay lifestyle. We will not be purchasing from McD until there is a turn around." "I will now go somewhere else to provide my family an evening of eating out..." "I grew up going to McDonalds on a regular basis. Now as the mother of 7 and grand mother of 1, I am deeply saddened to hear that you no longer support family values. Shame on you! My entire family and I will not be returning to the golden arches until you change your position. You can not be for families and for the gay agenda. The two don't mix." "Our family and friends are very disappointed that your corporation has not chosen to remain neutral in this issue, therefore, we are all taking our business somewhere else." "I have supported McDonald's fo years, this will not be the our goals for the future if you continue to support what GOD has spoken against in his Holy Word. I Cor. 6:19. You will have to give an account of your decision after this life." "This is not about not allowing homosexuals to eat or work at McDonalds. It is about your support of the NGLCC causes which is an affront to all society. My family and I will take our business to Burger King or Wendy's until you remove your support from the NGLCC." "To whom it may concern, I would like to see not only Mcdonald's but all businesses open to the public to remain neutral. Actually, if Mcdonald's would like to help the community why not donate food and money to families in need, feed the homeless, or support some kind of eduacational efforts for children. Since so many of their customers are children, why not do something for them. Sincerely, Amber Trawick" "Please stop supporting homosexuals and gay marriage or we will have to discontinue supporting your Restaurant by choosing to eat other places. Thank you for your time in this matter. Jack & Laura Flynn" "Did you not know that the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah was because of homosexuality? It is an abomanation in the sight of God. Please reconsider this matter, read your bible and see what God says about this. I use to eat at Mcdonald all the time, but since I have learnt of your choice to promote homosexuality, I haven't eaten there since and don't intend too. I hope others will follow my choice not to support your business in any way unless you change your minds. Sincerely, Nancy Carter Florence, Alabama" "A group from church likes to go somewhere after services on Sunday night and McDonald's was good place to meet. NOT ANY MORE!! None of us would dare to enter through your doors! God is watching!" "Our family and friends are very disappointed that your corporation has not chosen to remain neutral in this issue, therefore, we are all taking our business somewhere else." "My first visit to McDonald's was in the early 60's in Athens. Ga. I have been a loyal customer since. I will no longer patronize your restaurants because of your decision to stand with NCLCC and their perverted agenda. The real families of this country are speaking. You really should listen to us! Good bye to McDonald's JoAnne" "Remove youself from the NGLCC or you will most likely loose alot of your billions and billions you have serverd including me and my church family which is about 10,000 or so people. Read First Corinthians 6:9-10. You should be hanging you head in shame right now. Very disappointed." "Poor decision McDonald's! Our country was founded on Christian faith, Biblical principles and a holy lifestyle. Supporting the NGLCC is like turning your back on our God. Reverse your decision McDonald's, then get on your knees and pray and ask for forgiveness. I will no longer eat at your establishment until your support of the NGLCC ceases. ***2Chronicles 7:14***" "Why is it so hard for McDonalds's to stay out of the spot light & stay nuetral on the issue of homosexual??? Is this a prolife company? What other major issues are you involved in? Please note that as of today 7/8/08 I will no longer support you or your employees,MacDonald house or anything that has Mc on it. By the way this morning before I found out about your anti family stance I spent $6.00 for 2 large coffees & a bagel. I will now have an extra $6.00 in my pocket! THANKS MCDONALDS!!! Kathi V" "I have always loved McDonald's but will no longer be able to eat there." "Please be neutrual in the cultural battle on homosexuality. What happened to family values and fearing the retribution of God? The Lewis family. We will no longer eat at McDonalds" "No more McDonalds for me!" "An unwise decision that you have made... and costly too! No morals No support!!!" "As a grandmother of two and with a recent wedding in my family I know there will be more will not patronize McDonald's. Marriage is a sacred institution blessed by God for a man and a woman. Membership in the NGLCC is a blatant slap in the face of this holy union. Thank you Nikki" "As a father of 3 young children, I have to do what is necessary to protect their "innocent" minds even if that means taking them somewhere else to eat. McDonald's is a familiar place to them. I'm okay with taking them other places, until your company chooses to take a "neutral" stance on the homosexuality movement. We will not continue to support your business until this is done! It's not about what "Richard Ellis" believes is right, it's about what your patrons believe is right!!!" Do what is right!!" "McDonald's, I am greatly disappointed at your insistance on backing the gay/lesbian agenda. I'll visit Burger King and Wendy's from now on and if they follow you - I do know how to cook. You'll no longer receive my money. Beth in SW Colorado" "Words cannot express the disappointment in an empire that chooses to embrace principles & values that are opposite from the ideals of those that helped create it. Without the support of families, McDonalds would not exist. This family withdraws its many years of patronage." "I am sickened by your corporate support of the gay & lesbian agenda. I have been an avid customer of McDonalds from the very beginning but unless you change this support I will never again go to your business. Allen Merrill" "I am sorry you have chosen to take the stand that you have. I remember the first time my father took me to a Mcdonalds in Cincinnati, Oh, I was so thrilled, it was about 1960, and I have been a fan of yours ever since. It saddens me to tell you that I will no longer stop at a McDonalds, and this is going to hurt, as I have always enjoyed your quality. I will also be taking copies of this petition around to all the people and businesses that I support and tell them what is happening and the stand you have taken to support a perverted way of life. We are told to love the sinner and hate the sin. If you think that I 'hate' homosexuals you are very wrong, as a matter of fact there is a young man who regularly comes to my home to ask for prayer and for fellowship. Please rethink this stand of yours." "As one of fourteen children, the mother of eight children, and the aunt of 56 children, I am appalled that McDonald's is endorsing the homosexual agenda. Why in the world does a company that boasts their # of millions of products sold support the lifestyle that ensures the elimination of its future customer base? This is not about quality food for consumers... it is about lost souls wanting to take down others with them. We pray that our loving God will open the hearts of those lost in disobedience and sin and save our great nation. NO MORE McDonalds for this large family, and rest assured we have passed along the sad news of your immoral leadership to our churches and neighboring communities. May the Lord in His love and mercy save us all. Sincerely, Colleen Milburn" "McDonald's has been synonymous with wholesome promoting wholesome causes like the Ronald McDonald House. Here we go with another piece of extremely disappointing news indicating a society of progressively deteriorating morals. How depressing." "Very dissipointed in McDonald's." "As a mother of 4 I'm very disappointed that McDonalds is using their size and influence to persuade others that the homesexual agenda is natural and right. I do not discriminate against individuals nor do I support sinful actions. We will be using other fast food establishments from now on and not supporting McDonalds." "McDonald's has always been the very favorite place for kids to go. No more! I am so disappointed that you choose to support NGLCC. I will no longer stop there and will encourage others to do likewise." "We live in a small town and I know all the employees at McDonalds... however due to your decisions to support the gay agenda, we will be taking our business to Whataburger and Dairy Queen." "Like most other Americans, I have spent my share of money at McDonald's. Even as an adult, I LOVE a good Big Mac with those fries. With that being said, I will no longer give my money to a company (which claims to be family friendly) that refuses to stay neutral on this very controversial topic." "I will gladly join the boycott of McDonalds. I am a Christian mother and refuse to give my patronage to a business that proudly boasts of its participation in "diversity" by funding and allowing one of its employees to become a part of the gay board of directors. I have developed a new form of nausea for this entire agenda and would not patron them again even if their views changed." "I am very saddened by the stand you have taken concerning the NCLCC homosexual agenda. Children are you main attraction and this stand is an abomination to God and His Word. I am appalled!" "We are a family of 6 who frequently patronizes your business. We will, however, not be visiting you until you can show us you are not using the profits of your customers to promote the gay/lesbian agenda." "I will not purchase anything from your company as long as I know that you promote perversion. I work in a company of over 200 who also share the same view and am sending the email to them also and will encourage anyone I know to do the same. Including our church memebers." "What a poor choice McDonald's has made. Our choice will be to go to the BK right next door." "Please, do you realize what your doing!!This is very wrong by our standards and GOD`s. does that bother you @ all?" "Having small children we have been very frequent customers to McDonalds. However, I am very disappointed to hear of your recent choices to support the homosexual movement. Because of this, my family has chosen to no longer visit your restuarant until you change your stance." "I just forwarded this to about 50 contacts in my address book and they will more than likely join this boycott...if a million Christians follow suit...well, I'm sure you know how to do the math...my 47 year patronage has ended." "I am disappointed that you, a large company, chooses to support the homosexual agenda. As a company that depends on people from all walks of life you need to remain neutral in your support." "I have loved MacDonalds french fried since I was a child and your restaurant first opened. I took my children for special lunches to Mickey D's. No longer though. I cannot with good consciene support a corporation that professes to be family friendly and yet endorse a lifestyle I believe is poised to changed what has been considered the family unit because of the perceived rights of a few. I doubt that my comments will have any infuence over your agenda as you have already acquired the money of culturally-viewed family and can do with it as you so choose. At least my few dollars will not be promoting a lifestyle I see as destructive to all of society. Yves Couasnon" "My sister and I eat at McDonald's almost every day. We will no longer patronize your restaurants until you change your policy to support 90% of your customers not 10% or less of them. I will also encourage my friends, family and co-workers to do the same. I am against NGLCC and what they stand for. I love God and America and I use to love what McDonald's stood for." "I shall also boycott them. BK & Wendy's are looking better everyday." "As a bus driver your establishments used to be convenient meal stops. However, since I sometimes am carrying a passenger load from churches I believe that it would be hypocrytical for my clientel to dine at your gay friendly restaurants. I will just drive on to other restaurants such as Chic Fil A. I have to believe that if other bus driver/operators feel the same as I do that we WILL make a difference, one bus load at a time." "Count us as former customers. Your competitors offer fine food without the politics." "I can't believe that a corporation that has billed themselves as family friendly could push the homosexual agenda. If you think about it, there will be no families left as two men or two women can't produce an offspring. Shame on you. No more happy meals for me and my family that you are so against." "Very sorry to hear of your decision. Hopefully your corporation will see the light very soon in the future. - dlf" "No more Ronald McDonald for me or my granchildren!!" "McDonald's has always been my favorite fast food restaurant, at home, on the road, and in airports. No more. Respecting homosexuals as persons I can understand; supporting their deviant agenda is going too far. If that is your irrevocable position, then my irrevocable decision is to boycott you forever. I'll steer my friends and relatives clear of you also. Goodbye." "We are fed up! You think McDonald's is the only fast food chain. Our business will go to Burger King, Wendys or other establishments. We are so disappointed in your establishment. We will go ANYWHERE other than McDonalds and encourage EVERYONE elso to do the same!" "I have been a consistent, faithful customer for about 35 years... but not any more; at least until you change your position on supporting the gay agenda." "Marriage is for a MAN and a WOMAN - read the BIBLE and ask GOD to help you to stop sinning!" "As a Christian, a mother and a grandmother of three, I am very disappointed in your decision to back the homosexual agenda. I will refrain from visiting your establishment until you alter your decision. Homosexuality is an abomination to God and YOU should be ashamed in promoting such. How can we expect God to Bless America???" "You are selling your product to BOTH sides of the community: homosexual AND those whose beliefs homosexuality offends. Why are you choosing sides by supporting EITHER agenda? My family will boycott McDonald's until the management realizes it is a restaurant - not a political activist." "How can you so boldly commit yourself to the destruction of the family? Our family then has no choice but to commit to the destruction of McDs. You will no longer receive our money for your evil purposes." "I hope you've evaluated this decision carefully. You may please a few gays, but you're losing thousands of evangelicals. Don't underestimate that impact. Our family of nine has switched to Wendy's, and as convenient as McDonals is, we're outa there until your position changes. We're not asking for discrimination, only neutrality. It's much harder to get patrons back than it is to keep them up front." "I am very disappointed that you would support an agenda that is clearly hurting the American family unit. I am also sorry that I will no longer be able to buy from your establishment since you choose such a path - tht I will not support." "Sorry to hear that you care more about profits than about homosexuals. You are encouraging a lifestyle that is unhealthy physically, mentally and spiritually. Good bye, Big Mac:-((" "As a parent to three children, we eat more at McDonald's than any other fast food restaurant. That has now changed. McDonald's will now see that we do indeed reap what we sow." "My family of five with three children will not eat at Mcdonald's. I did eat at mcdonalds for lunch often but not any more." "I can't believe that McDonald's is supporting this agenda. I will no longer support you establishment." "Shame on you McDonalds Board of Directors! As you try to accomodate those "other" people, I'd like to be there when you try to explain your justifications before God on that special day! I'd hate to be you if your wrong! I'm done with McDonalds too! ...and I really loved your sweet iced tea! but it just became bitter!" "I am currently a father of 2 teens and granfather of 7 grand kids we will not patronize any of your locations.we are going currently to burger king." "Having had four members of our family who have worked at McDonald's over the years, and looking at all the promotion you have for children and families, (Ronald and cast), plus Playlands, kids' meals, and the Ronald McDonald Houses (one of my son's Eagle Scout project was building a playground at the Sioux Falls RM House), we've very disappointed to learn you are now sponsoring the homosexual ageenda as a part of your corporate policy. Until this is change, we have stopped patronizing McDonald's, and are urging others--via e-mails and in person--to use Burger King, Arby's Subway, Wendy's, KFC, Taco Bell, Hardee's and othr fast-food establishments, which do not blatantly thumb their nose at real American family values!" "I will not buy any of your products any longer as long as you do this" "I also believe in the concept of diversity (all men are created equal). However, I feel serving food items that are tasty and enjoyable should be your main objective, not helping to promote the homosexual agenda. Due to your stand of supporting the NGLCC, I too will take a stand by no longer supporting your McDonald's restaurants. I will take my hard earned money and eat at your competitors'." "I applaud you for hiring employees with handicaps. Your funding of the gay and lesbian agenda is not in the same category and does not align with your image of being a family company. Where a company donates/gives money speaks louder than an adverstizement or rhetoric about embracing diversity. As long as you are supporting the NCLCC homosexual agenda I will not visit any McDonald's establishment again." "We're done with McDonalds." "I will no longer support your restaurants until you reconsider this decision." "I hope that you will reconsider your recent support of the NCLCC. It is a sad day when a fast food chain that has been around for all these years and is a place for families to go makes a decision to support an unnatural lifestyle I will no longer patronize your establishments until you reverse this policy." "My family and I will join the boycott of McDonald's due to your obvious approval of the Homosexual lifestyle. We regret that you are taking such a stand." "Our family was very sad to hear that you sould not remain neutral on this subject. It is a sad day when the agenda of one in a place of authority can do damage to so many...the corporation, franchise owners, employees, long-time customers, and future customers that will not ever go into a location due to this decision. I trust that this decision will be revisited." "It is hard to understand why McDonald's would want to lend their support to an organization that would promote the gay lifestyle to children." "It is indeed sad when those who target children and families for revenues take such an offensive position by encouraging the perverse actions of the homosexual community. Rest assured McDonald's is now off of my dining menu and I am also obligated to advise everyone I know of the same." "Our family will no longer patronize McDonalds. We will be sure that all our friends and contacts are aware of your decision. This is disappointing to say the least." "What makes the U.S. a great place to live is a big Company like yours can, while supporting such a shameful cause as homosexual rights, suffer from their actions. What makes it the best place is a lot of people can openly and loudly let you know your beliefs aren't supported by many of your customers. So much so that we don't want to buy from you any more...Sweet! God bless the USA." "I feel that all corporations, actors and actress should not be involved with politics. Stick with what you know best...burgers and fries. By supoorting one particular group you negate and alienate many other organizations. There are many other organizations that could have used the resources you gave to NGLCC, and would not have caused such public outcry." "I always thought of McDonalds as a "family" place...now it is a place that MY family will not enter!" "I am offended deeply." "It is sad to see such a giant in the "family business" support such an anti-family issue. If the business of business is to do business, then every heavyweight should stay out of social policy and agenda... McDonalds could set the standard, could be the strong leader, yet chooses to be the weak follower. We're done with you, though your french fries are the best." "My very large extended family and I will be boycotting McDondald's until you stop promoting the homosexual agenda including homosexual marriages. Your support is an affront to our family and family values." "GOODBYE RONALD!!!!" "I will not eat at your any of your locations and I will inform my congregrations not to visit any of your locations until you change your stance." "I will not spend my money at McDonalds!" "We, here in Russia support boycott. Never Mac until change your position!" "I am so disappointed that a company that has associated itself with children abd their best interest for so many years has decided to do this 180 degree turnabout. Our children deserve the best we can give them, and the best we can do in this case is to keep them out of your establishments." "I will not buy anything from McDonalds" "I do not support homosexual marriage. I have always used McDonalds but will no longer eat at MCDonalds restaurants and I will try to influence others in the same direction. Lars from Norway" "as of now,we will not be using mcdonalds until you withdraw from the nglcc" "I am sad to see that you have chosen to promote the homosexual lifestyle. McDonalds has always been a place where families could go to eat. Our family will choose another restaurant that has not chosen to endorse this destructive lifestyle." "I thought McDonald's had better sense??? As a mother of five children, I can assure you that I will not patronize your establishment until you change your support for the NGLCC. I guess like you, it's time for a change... fortunate for me it's still God that I trust!!!" "Please change your stance on the homosexual matter" "Dear McDonald's, You can support diversity through your hiring and serving practices without openly funding a deviant lifestyle. My family and I will not patronize any of your estblishments simply because of this practice you have chosen. Paul Buelow" "I totally believed that McDonald's upheld good family values that is the strong foundation of our country. Break these values, break this country, just as the Roman Empire fell the exact same way. Look up your history and learn. Your support of wrong values has broken my trust and expectations. I will no longer give my business to any McDonalds and I'm telling my friends and families." "We will not willingly support companies that do not agree with our moral, values, and standards. No more Happy Meals." "I am just dropping a note to let you know, that since McDonald has still not changed it position on supporting the homosexual agenda, my family of 4 has still not stepped foot inside of a McDonald restaurant. We have been spending our money 3-4 times per week at KFC, Taco Bell, Jimmy Johns, Subway, and Burger King. Arbys has just opened a new store in our area that we will be supporting also." "In your efforts to be "diverse" you should certainly appreciate that millions of U.S. citizens still attempt to lead a decent, moral life and do not support the homosexual lifestyle. I will ensure that my friends and family are aware of your corporate-level support of perversion and immorality." "As a mother of four, in a household income of $100,000 yearly, I am being forced by MCDonald's to take my children elsewhere for lunch ( and snacks) because of your poor choice to "use your size" to promote a gay and lesbian agenda! You have such an influence on young minds, but are choosing to push this unnatural cause instead of providing a fun, friendly environment for my kids and myself! This has caused us to refuse to enter any of your restaurants until you stop being an outlet for gays and lesbians, and return to your role as "family restaurant"!!!Rethink your decision or we will spend our money at one of the MANY other options we have!" "It's sad that a once-great family restaurant has sunk to supporting a deviant, anti-God lifestyle. This pro-homosexual stand means I and my family will no longer patronise McDonald's. C.J.Ottaway." "It is too bad that McDonalds has chosen to redefine family friendly. Your corporate image has lost most of its luster. Count me in a a no show at McDonalds. Maine Tree Farmer" "I will no longer be doing any business at any of your places of business as long as you continue to support something that is against all the teachings of Jesus Christ. You should be very, very, very afraid when you deliberitly go against God. I am letting all my friends know about this too." "Now Wendys has better morals and food then Mcdonalds. Even if it does cost more." "just like every company in the U.S., you forget about the everyday citizens who are the reason you are in business and you become blind to the fact that 99.9% of customers are not gay or lesbian" "I thought McDonald's was a family place. How disappointing to find that what you promate is to the contrary. Beware! God will not be mocked." "I will never eat at a McDonald's again until you withdraw your support from the NGLCC. You need to apologize for your support of this depravity." "It has been a great disappointment to hear the decision by McDonalds to support the NCLCC homosexual agenda. I had been a loyal customer for over 20 years but I will no longer support or patronize any McDonalds and will take a public stand to notify patrons unaware of your decision." "I used to frequent McDonalds 4/5 times a week, but not anymore. This is not the example large corporations should set. I will try to spread the boycott message in Europe, because this insanity has to stop! Jonas Kolka, Finland" "What a pity your company does not realize that their customers are concerned about the well-being of the family. Since you choose to support the LGBT community rather than family values, we refuse to eat at McDonalds." "I will not buy or do any more business with them.. Hello wendys" "I am greatly offended and angered that McDonald's will support NGLCC. I will never set my foot again in your establishment, and that includes all the circle of friends and neighbors. Money talks. You will regret supporting the gay agenda." "I will continue to boycott your places of business." "Dear Sir: You claim to be a good corporate citizen. Why do you not only support but PUSH a gay agenda--supported by only 2% of the population?? That is not being responsible. Our family and several others we know have stopped going to McDonalds as a protest for your lack of GOOD corporate citizenship. We will not darken the doors of McDonalds from this day forth. Any company that irresponsible does not deserve support of the community." "You've lost my business for good. Think you'll gain any because of your position?" "I will no longer take my family of 5 to McDonalds, nor will I make my daily snack stop there any more with my carload of 7 carpool kids every day after school. I am so sick of homosexuality being thrown in my face and media trying to convice us this is normal.....not in my world! You won't get one penny of my money ever again!" "Just like a lot of people in America, I grew up on McDonalds, my son is growing up on McDonalds and I still love eating at McDonald's. I am writing this to simply ask you to please stick with cooking and selling good food and remain neutral instead of promoting the homosexual agenda. We can not in good faith continue to spend our money in your establishments if it is going to promote such things. When I hear that you have changed your ways, I will go back to buying from you, but not until then." "My family will definitely boycott McDonald's, unless they stay neutral in the "culture war". If they are more interested in the 2-3 percent of the American population that is trying to impose its values on the majority of us, then they can cater to them and we will bring our business elsewhere." "I was shocked to learn that McDonal's supports the G/L lifestyle, as I have always considered McDonald's a kid's place, with the best interest of kid's at heart. Sadly, that is not so. The G/L lifestyle is not healthy for kids, in any dimension. My 2 young daughters love to eat at McDonald's but now I will have to tell them the truth: it is NOT a kid's place! We will not support McDonald's with our business unless they recant." "Because of your support of the NGLCC I will not step foot in a McDonald's. I will not spend my money to support the gay agenda." "I'm 36 and started going to McDonald's back in the mid '70s with my parents after church. I'm now married and have four kids. We and I have enjoyed McDonald's food for many years. I love watching the children play in the Playland and enjoying themselves. But this is an attack on the institution of the family. Shame on the leaders of this American restaurant giant for backing this radical agenda. My children are young: 9, 9, 5, and 4. We will not be going to McDonald's anymore. I urge all conservative Christian people to join this boycott. McDonald's will take a huge financial hit if this movement picks up steam. I agree totally with what this petition says and its contents. I hope their profits go way, way down. Can't them drive them out of business entirely, but if word gets out, they and their future financial results. . ." "Since your Company has chosen to activily support homosexual agendas, my family has chosen to no longer be customers of McDonalds. It would have been better for your Company to remain neutral in this cultural situation." ""We have made our last trip to McDonald's. Our family and grand children will no longer be patronizing any McDonald's restaurant. You need to change your commitments back to families instead of supporting the homosexual agenda."" "Me nor any member of my family will step foot into a McDonald's until they stop this nonsense." "There will not be any more "Unhappy Meals" for my family. I have spent thousands of dollars since growing up as a child. Now, no more for me. Now, no more for the little one. One benefit...a healthier heart! God has His ways." "I am very sorry to see a family fast food restaurant decide to support the homosexual agenda which has nothing to do with the kind of business they are in. I will not be patronizing them until they change their mind on what they consider an important issue to support. It would be best to remain neutral in this kind of situation." "I can no longer support an institution which would do something as bad for our children as support the gay movement. I am sad that, having been so positive for our kids in the past, you are now choosing to lead them to a vile lifestyle that will surely be judged by God. (Ford is already feeling the bad results of doing so.)" "Due to the disappointing decision McDonald's has made to support the homosexual agenda, my family and I will no longer be patrons of your restaurants. I will also urge all my contacts to do the same." "Now I have even more reason not to support McDonalds. It is a sad day that a company that truly has the ability to reach millions chosing to do so in such a negative way." "It's obvious you don't care about me and my family. We will not return to McDonald's. I will not support you, but I will pray for you." "We are very disappointed to learn that McDonalds has decided to push anti-family social issues, especially in supporting the Homosexual agenda to legalize same sex marriage. Why didn't you just stick to making a great hamburger? No body wants to have to spend their money supporting issues with which they disagree-strongly. Neither I nor any of my family will patronize any McDonald's establishment in the future." "angry with McD's for supporting an amoral lifestyle. This sends a bad message to our children, who should be protected from the ravages of homosexuality." "I will no longer support McDonalds - and I will take every opportunity to let others know why I am doing what I am doing regarding McDonalds." "I am sorry that you have decided rather than to be a role model for the children of today, you have decided to sell hamburgers rather than stand up for the morality of the children whom you wish to sell to. My children loved to go to Mickey D's for lunch but my grandchildren will not be spending any time with you. Shame on you. Anne" "I have always ate at McDonalds, but no more. I chose the right way to spend my money." "The Bible has much to say about homosexual behavior; it's an abomination in God's sight. I'll shop Wendys. Don, PA" "A company who prides themselves on service to children and makes much of their money on children should at the very least hold neutral moral values if they can't have high moral values." "As long as you are PRO homosexual,and are a member of the NCLCC.I will not be patronizing your establishments.I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle,and don't want it pushed on me and flaunted in my face. That is why we in Calif. will be voting against same sex marriage in Nov. We will fight anything that will hurt or destroy the family." "It seems silly that a food company that relies on humans for business would support a lifestyle (homosexual agenda) that cannot produce offspring and so would be a negative growth in customer base. You are fools to think supporting the NGLCC will help your business. With I and my family joining the boycott, you will loose business from a dozen customers each week. Extrapolate that number into your business models!" "I'm done eating at McDonald's till you change policies re gays." "I am very sad to hear that you support the gay community, we are a family of six and we will no longer consume your product until you stand for the Lord!" "Unless your company stops promoting homosexual agenda, I will not take my child to eat at McDonald's or go inside the Golden Arches. The Golden Arches was something of childhood, not anymore." "We have always supported McDonald's, but I will not go to your fast food establishment again unless you withdraw your support of NGLCC and its homosexual agenda, including its support of homosexual marriages. God intended family to be man and woman. My Christian family will not support this." "I will no longer purchase any products from McDonalds and I will make sure to tell everyone I know to do the same." "I had just started eating at MacDonald's again. I am disappointed that your company is following the homosexual agenda. I will no longer eat at your establishments until you change your policy." "Unless your company stops promoting homosexual agenda, I will not take my child to eat at McDonald's or go inside the Golden Arches. The Golden Arches was something of childhood, not anymore." "I was very saddened to hear that McDonald's is now supporting the homosexual agenda. Part of the 'all-American' picture of baseball, hot dogs, and apple pies was the Golden Arches - we will no longer be eating at a food establishment that is stepping into an arena where they do not belong. Father forgive them for they know not what they do." "I will miss our coffee outings at McDonalds. Sad to say goodby to an old friendly place." "Our family will not support an institution that does not value the sacred institution of families. Just because something is becoming more prevalent DOES NOT and NEVER WILL make it RIGHT! Sounds like MCDONALDS is falling prey to the tide of common-day sheep." "I am absolutely disappointed in this decision of McDonalds. I" "I don't eat out very often and I cetainly will not at McDonald's unless you change your stand. Shame on you for turning your back on the family/childrens values you upheld for decades. I am extremely disappointed and will be spending my money elsewhere." "me and my family of 6 will not eat at mcdonalds until they pull their support of the homosexual adgenda or give at least the same amount of money to a pro-family organization." "I worked at McDonalds for 7 years and had nothing but respect for our leadership. However, this is a very disappointing downward move. I have no problem with supporting "diversity" but I do have a problem with using your profits to advance the Gay/Lesbian agenda. It's one thing to care about your employees and patrons and to advertise without discrimination. It's a whole different problem to deliberately fund a movement that such a huge percentage of the American population is opposed to. It's going to cost you if you remain committed to activism on this." "As a stock holder and regular customer with a large family, I am very disappointed by your queer agenda. I and my family have had our last Big Mac." ""My children are grown now and are giving me grandchildren. As they grew up eating at McDonalds was a regular, affordable family outing. Just last year I was upset that Burger King did not have Baby Changing Stations so I decided to always choose McDonalds over Burger King. How wrong I was!McDonalds is no longer a family friendly restaurant. I'll change the diapers whereever I have to but not at McDonalds. Homosexuality is not conducive with traditional family values. Thus my family and all those that I have influence with will choose to eat at other restaurants."" "My children have always enjoyed McDonalds, but no more! How can we support a business whose money supports anti-traditional family values? Our family of 7 have been boycotting McDonald's since the first announcement, and we will continue until they back out supporting the NGLCC. Why, WHY, support them? I just don't understand how supporting them would do any good for the company. I'm sure they will see their profits drop and other supporters previously for McDonalds back out. What a shame. As far as I'm concerned, this is the beginning of the end for McDonalds." "We are so disappointed with the stand which McDonalds has taken to support the homosexual agenda." "My 13 grandchildren I will not knowingly expose to such an environment. McDonald's has lost our business for continuing to support G/L activities. Homosexually is the only thing the Bible says is an Abomination to the Lord God. From an Active FL Christian Grandmother" "I was sorry to hear of your decision to support the homosexual lifestyle. Our McDonald's always seemed like such a happy family place. Now I can't go in it without knowing where my money is going and what it is being used to support. Instead of your food tasting good, it makes me sick to my stomach. I will not be eating at your restaurants until you stop your support of the homosexual agenda. Each of us as individuals has the right to finiancially support organizations we so choose. BUT no business has the right to use their customers' money to support organizations without getting the approval of the customers. I do not approve of my money supporting the homosexual agenda, so I will be eating other places besides McDonald's." "The good old days of Happy meals for the kids are over and the Ronald McDonald house's will suffer across the country and for what? Gay members of the McDonald' Board of Directors obviously are willing to pull the rug out from under the company to pander to the extreme gay element in our society.. the heterosexual families of America will bring about the down fall of the Kroc empire if they don't wake up!! After all, which segment of society has the most children??" "I will not eat at McDonald's while they insist on supporting a sinful lifestyle. I grew up with the first McDonald's and this stance makes me very sad." "As long as you support the homosexual agenda, I will support another fast food restaurant." "McDonald's has been an american icon for so many years for kids and families. It makes me very sad to know that McDonald's has chosen to take a very unfamily, nonkid friendly path by joining the NGLCC. My family of five will no longer be eating there." "i am no longer eating at mcdonald`s.Burger king here i come .I am also emailing my friends and telling them not to eat at mcdonald`s . wake up mcdonald" "I am disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I have been a customer of McDonald's for over 46 years. I took my children when they were growing up. When the Grand children were old enough to go to McDonald's, I took them. Now however I will no longer be going to McDonald's. I never thought the day would come that I would stop going to McDonald's! Thank you for your time. Helen" "I for one don't support the gay agenda. It's a shame, because there are a McDonalds & Wendy's both within the same distance from me. I like both equally & usually switch around. No longer!" "McDonalds has made a grave mistake supportig the G/L community. Your business is based on Families with children...Gay/Les does not pro-create...is against all biblical teaching which most "families" rely upon.... I'm sad that Corporations such as McDonalds, Target etc are making such devastating mistakes. They fail to see where the "majority" of their success lies. Go against Christian family vales, Go against God's teachings...failure will ensue. NO MCDONALDS FOR ME & EVERYONE THAT I KNOW. I'm joining this boycott full force, moving pettitions around the central US. The ripples will be felt... Repent McDonalds, reverse your stance if you wish to have anything in the future to uphold." "Burger King here I come!!!!!!" "My family and I will join in with many others across the country and boycott McDonalds. We will be sure to tell our friends and family that they should also. I think McDonald's should really consider if they want to advertise with the NGLCC. People should have the freedom to choose their lifestyle in America. But you sponsoring this organization would be like McDonald's endorsing Gang Members, drug addicts, alcoholics, etc. They have a choice at their lifestyle but a major organization should not endorse any particular lifestyle choice. But like I said before, you have a choice...but so do I." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's is using their resources to push the radical homosexual agenda. At the very least, McDonald's should remain neutral on this social issue. There are so many people truly in need of assistance. May God have mercy on them." "My autistic son can eat your french fries because of his gluten-free diet. McDonald's has always been there for us when we couldn't find another place for him to eat out. I guess we will just be eating at home or out of our cooler when we go out. We are not prejudiced toward gays but I don't like their agenda shoved down our throat. The restaurant business is no place to lauch the gay agenda. Stick to burgers and fries." "Me and my family will no longer eat under the "Golden Arches".We are one nation under God and you are slapping him in the face!" "God created marriage between a man and a woman. Marriage was never intended for 2 men or 2 women. I can not accept anything that changes God's law. Therefore I will no longer be eatting at McDonald's. Colleen Martinez Jesus Loves You" "Our immediate family of 57 will no longer enjoy the good food and fun we have been having at mcdonalds fo over 50 years. Sadly your choice to support the homosexual agenda will take away many fun times for Americans." "We just returned from a month long vacation. We usually stop at McDonald's several times, but did not stop once. We refuse to give support to a company who supports the NCLCC homosexual agenda." "I heard and an already boycotting. What a sad thing for a family oriented business to promote. I pray there will be a change in their hearts. Until I see that happen I would much prefer to go to Wendy's or Burger King. I have volunteered at a R. McDonald House for a few years. How terrible that they will have to pay the price. How can any of you sleep at night. May God show you His mercy instead of His judgement. He is a God of both." "Jim and Doris Barker we have supported McDonald's through many years -No longer." "Our family has been a frequent customer of McDonalds for 25 years. We are deeply disappointed that McDonalds has taken such a strong pro homosexuality position. We have always been of the don't ask, don't tell mindset and that it was none of our business. McDonalds has made a political statement and we will no longer support these resturants unless or until this position changes. Bob and Sharon Derby Ks" "I'm sorry to learn of your position on the homosexual agenda. I'm very sorry that I cannot and will not take my kids to McDonald's any longer. They'll be very sad, but understand why." "I am a Youth Pastor and speak to over 500 teens. I will be making sure that McDonalds is not on their agenda until you change your stance." "Sorry McDonalds, but you will not be getting my business by supporting the gay & lebian agenda. You have purported to be a "family" friendly business, but families do not include 2 moms or 2 dads in the real world. If you do not realize that families are the foundation of this country, then you need to re-think your position. You can join the ranks of Ford Motor and go downhill, or stop supporting the gay and lesbian agenda - it's your choice, and your pocket that will pay the price." "We have enjoyed Big Macs, sausage and biscuits and many other items on your menu. But no more. We will steer clear of McDonald's restaurants unless we hear you have reversed your decision about sponsoring homo-sexuality." "I think Corps like McDonalds have a civic duty to support causes. Lets stick to the Childrens Hospitals, aging, etc... Stay out of the Family destroying Business. I will no longer eat my weekly meal with my family of 5 at McDonald's. BYE BYE!" "I do not care what people do in the privacy of their homes. I do care that they are continually trying so hard (maybe they know it is wrong, otherwise why the need to make everyone else fall into line) to push their agenda down my throat and everyone else's. They can live like they want, just leave the rest of us alone. I have not purchased anything from McDonald's since this came out several weeks ago. I will not in the future. And I will make sure all of my family and friends know about your stand. Just don't take a stand." "I will no longer frequent your restaurants. When you no longer support homosexual activities, I will again use your restaurants." "I am appalled at McDonald's active and deliberate choice to align itself with the gay agenda. McDonalds can count on my families choice to no longer eat at their establishment." "Because of your support of unnatural relationships, that is gay marriage, etc., I cannot, and will not, support your company. I will drive the extra couple of blocks to ANY other fast food restaurant, rather than McDonalds. Ronald McDonald is a representative of your company to children. Is this what we are to teach our kids? Homosexuality is normal? Not in my household. Sorry McDonald's, you've lost my business" "I have a family of five. I will not support you ever again." "As busy parents of 7 children, we will no longer be going to McDonalds." "My children and I will now eat at Burger King!!" "I will be boycotting McDonald's until they stop promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage. I urge you to reconsider your position in this matter." "Very big disappointment in your choice to support immoral behavior which goes against the foundations this country was built on. MacDonalds has long been a USA icon and America has been good to you. How very unfortunate for your company that your choice in supporting the homosexual agenda will do nothing more than alienate the millions of people in this country who choose to patronize companies firmly committed to America's founding Christian principles. Not only will I no longer enter a MacDonald's restaurant, but nor will the hundreds of people at my church and hundreds more in my community. You are just one more example of the wasting away this country is heading. The greatness of America is highly jeopardized and that's frightening!" "Our family of five will no longer be able to order from your menu again because of your decision to support the gay and lesbian choice. We will have to explain to our children how you choose to dishonor God and his design for us, then go somewhere else. How disappointing your decision is." "You have lost me and my family as a customer" ""I truly regret McDonald's decsion to support the NGLCC. As much as I have enjoyed McDonald's breakfast for years, I will not set foot in a McDonald's store unless your position changes."" "For the past several years we have enjoyed taking our children to McDonalds to eat and play on the playland, but we will not support a restaurant who promotes this kind of agenda. We pride ourselves in supporting family friendly businesses that we feel set a good example for our children. This certainly does not." "I'll never eat there again!!!!!!" "Thank you for the info I need to let McDonald's know how I feel about their association with the Gay and Lesbian Group." "I guess this is where my diet plan starts. I would rather not eat at a place where I know that my money is going to be spent on something so terrible." "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!" "Very sorry to learn of your support for the homosexual adgenda. I and my family will not be eating at McDonald's any more until you change your position on this matter." "When our children were young, we went to McDonald's frequently. It was a family, friendly establishment then. I am very disappointed that you would take a stand to support homosexuality in the culture war. This "alternate lifestyle" will ruin America and her traditional families as we know it. God loves the Homosexual, but not the sin of homosexuality. He created male and female to be the traditional family, not two males or two females. God is and will continue to judge America for following the homosexual agenda. The people it hurts the most is our children. Do you care about our children? I will boycott your stores until you realize this is a bad course of action to take sides in the culture war and decide to remain neutral or support traditional families. They are the ones who have supported you and helped you to be where you are today." "I will not enter your establishment again,nor will I take my grand-children as i did their parents, just like I will never buy a Ford even though they sell my favorite car. I'm so dissappointed in your company" ""I'm very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I would think without focusing on any one group that you would support the American values agenda including all people. A persons sexuality in a private matter. It is not for corporate exploitation. I'm offended that you feel it is neccesary to promote through your sponsorship a lifestyle/value system of any one group. You pretend you are for diversity but by the very act of supporting this group you are excluding all others. How hypocritical. You've lost me as a customer."" "The homosexual lifestyle is not in line with God's word. You may be as diverse as you please, and you will do without any of my money." "We have Culver's, Hardees, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Arby's and McDonalds within a 1-mile radius of our house. Guess where I will NOT be taking the six members of my family anymore until McDonald's goes nuetral on the homosexual agenda?" "I find it rather disturbing that McDonald's markets their business as a "family friendly" and "kid friendly" eating establishment and at the same time promotes and encourages the homosexual lifestyle. I guess it was a good idea I decided to completely cease my patronage of any McDonald's restaurant these many years ago." "I will not be a party to something that our Lord and Savior destroyed a city over, and your firm is taking a stand against Christian beliefs therefore I refuse to be your customer." "McDonald's has always has been a part of Americana since I was a child, an institution that spoke of American values. Ray and his wife wanted it that way. I think he would turn over in his grave to know what it's turning into. I will no longer go there for their wonderful breakfasts and I will miss it but I cannot in good conscience break this boycott. Please reconsider and turn back to family values." "I am very upset with you being a part of the MCLCC, please understand we will not eat there again and we will be letting everyone in our church know about this, we will also be letting all the churches in our city know." "I am saddened that McDonalds continues to dis-regard and have no respect for many Christians and the teachings of the Bible and Koran and the Jewish Torah that the homosexual lifestyle is not right. For McDonalds to take this stand makes me believe that Satan himself is now on the Board of Directors of McDonalds. McDonalds must not have any fear of God or regard for His teachings" "McDonalds...I will not go to McDonalds as long as this boycott in on going. I will not take my grandchildren either Terry" "It is very dissappointing to see what is suppose to be a family organization choose to use their influence in support the homosexual agenda. We will no longer eat at your establishment." "I am so disappointed that your company has chosen to take this stand. We have always enjoyed your establishment, but no longer. Wake up people, this is not what the "people" really want!" "My spouse, myself and out five children will no longer be supporting McDonald's until they take a stand against the gay movement. Yes, my children will miss those toys that come in those Happy Meals, but I think I can somehow make it up to them. Juanita Ukena" "Now that Wendy's has a breakfast menu (darn good one) we will no longer have our senior coffee and breakfast at MeDonalds after we attend weekday mass. I cannot believe that McDonalds will allow a minority to rule the majority in a democracy. Sound like McDonalds is a doomed dictatorship letting a few (or one influential) person dictate to the others." "We've enjoyed your coffee and have eaten at McDonald's especially when traveling. We will not again until you cease sponsoring gay agenda, parades, etc. You are going down the same road as Ford. I believe they've had second thoughts about their choice, and we hope you will too." "Extremely disappointed in McDonald's 'reaffirmation' of homosexuality. We are a family of 6 who regularly ate at McDonald's for breakfast (many times when we were rushing to church on Sunday morning) & often for lunch play days with other friends & their children. NO MORE! Until we hear of a retraction of McDonald's support for the NGLCC, we will spend our money for fast food at Wendy's, Subway, or other places where it's just about the food--NOT taking a stand for immoral issues which undermine traditional families... like ours. We'll be sure to spread the word to boycott your establishment via email, phone calls, & every chance we get . . ." "My family and I are so disappointed in your reckless decision to support such a radical agenda as the homosexual community is forcing upon us. We were some of your best "dollar menunaires," but we will no longer patronize your restaurants. It is shameful that you think you are being socially responsible." "I'm saddened that you've decided to stand on the wrong side of promotion of the gay and lesbian lifestyle, particularly when the overwhelming majority of your franchise owners favor family values. You've elected to cow to the perversions of a very small, extremely loud minority, instead of honoring the majority choice of the institution of one man-one woman marriage. Surely you're ignoring the very expensive advice of your own marketers. Sadly, by saying good-bye to your products, I'm hurting the local owners who totally disagree with your position, and have been unbelievably gracious in supporting school and sporting events in our community. Ben Gardner M.D Columbia, Tn." "It absolutely baffles my mind as to why McDonald's, a family restaurant, would align themselves with the NGLCC. I think McDonald's should remember who made them the restaurant they are today. What a slap in the face to your loyal customers! You want diversity? Good luck! As soon as you make a decision that the NGLCC doesn't like, you can expect a nasty media circus when that happens! Where will your loyal customers be? At other restaurants enjoying ourselves without the NGLCC pushing their agenda down our throat!!" "It is unfortunate in this difficult business climate that a company would support an agenda over the people that support the company. I am sure the franchisee's are livid because we are another family in the growing list that will not patronize a McDonalds as long as they promote the homosexual lifestyle." "Though you have meant a great deal to our family fast-food experience in the past, I count it a privilege to be a part of the group that opposes your decision to support the "unnatural NCLCC homosexual agenda."" "Although I have eaten a lot at your restaurant in the last year, and really love your new coffee, I can't agree with your choice to actively promote the unhealthy homosexual lifestyle. It's hard to believe McDonald's thinks this is its mission instead of feeding people. I will not be patronizing McDonald's until you decide to remain neutral on this issue. I sincerely hope you decide to do so." "It really seems an unfortunate decision on your company's part to decide not to stay neutral on this volatile matter. My grandchildren will be quite disappointed about giving up their favorite fast food, but that's OUR decision right at this point." "We are dissappointed in your lack of concern for the beliefs of most people of good faith--the Christians." "My family has for several years eaten at many of your locations. Due to your stand on homosexuality we as a family will no longer purchase any of your products." "Our family will no longer eat at MacDonald's. We regret this decision because we have enjoyed the convenience, the new healthier, affordable choices that have been offered lately.It has been a tradition of our's to stop at MacDonald's as a special treat for our family. We cannot do that in good concience now because of your choice to employ someone who wants to use their employment to further their personal sexual preferences/beliefs. It is just wrong." "I will not patronize your establishments any more. We will go to Burger King or somewhere else to get a hamburger and fries. How can you show support for families by taking this stand." "I don't care if McDonald's does have the best french fries. I will not support anything that contributes to the gay and homosexual agenda." "I encourage all the employees of McDonald's to quit theirs jobs. God will reward them." "As a mother of three children, I am saddened to hear you are supporting the homosexual agenda promoting gay marriage. My family will stop eating at McDonald's all together now." "I am sorry you so gleefully prepare to offend and dishonor the feelings of so many of your customers. God cannot be happy about your actions." "Regretfully my family cannot continue to patronize McDonalds. You must choose between supporting families or a very small minority who practice an aberrant lifestyle." "# i, too, will no longer support macdonalds. i will pay more to ANY other fast food before i will agree to support your corp. stand on G/L marriages." # "Please do not support the homosexual agenda. It goes against God's Word and America's best interest. I will not purchase anything from McDonald's until you change your position. I have a retail establishment and I will suggest my customers join me in this cause." # "Your disappointing company decision to support the unnatural NCLCC homosexual agenda has convinced me to never enter a McDonald's restaurant again. I was looking forward to enjoying your upgraded coffee offerings, but no more."" "To whom it concerns, I am the father of three children and I will no longer be purchasing any food from your stores, because of your support for the gay movements of this country or any states. You can also count on me to be telling everyone I meet about this raising more support to not only help you see the large error in judgement but also allow you to see that a loss in profit from the very people who made your corp., possible. No company should willingly give money to groups of people that have agendas that promote the sexual exposure, abuse, & misguidence of children!!!!!!!!" ""I am very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be supporting your establishment. Thank you John"" "Please do not support the homosexual marriage. It goes against what God has ordained. Men and women were created different for a reason." "This corporation is going down until they change their minds because the majority of the people will not support McDonald's any more." "You will not get another cent of my money that you might use for support of anti-Christian attacks." "no mcd's for mees" "No more McDonalds for me or my family. I hope you guys go out of business for good." "As a mother and grandmother, I will not be placing my foot inside your establishment again, nor will any of my children or grandchildren. You have just made solid Chick Filet customers out us. I feel Ray Kroc would be so ashamed of what has become of a business he raised up from scratch. Please reconsider your decision." "McDonalds chooses to promote an agenda that is divisive, destructive to families and traditional marriages and one that will have a negative impact on every family in America. In the end, this movement will be a part of the destruction of America." "I will not buy another product or allow my children to come to a McDonald's as long as you support the gay agenda. This goes agianst my beliefs and I can not support something that openly support this kind of lifestlye." "Me too. My husband & I were about to purchase our lunch a few days ago when we remembered about the NCLCC. Wow. I love your apple pies & coffee. My kids grew up loving the golden arches. I remember when I would buy a regular hamburger, sm. fry & sm. shake for 99 cents. We will not support McDonalds. Michael & Ruth Gibson Tennessee" "I will be giving up my morning coffee and breakfast for awhile, I do not support the San Francisco Gay Mafia agenda!" ""Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world ... and we do." What an incredible statement to make. But then to go and use it to defend a position of immorality is a shame. McDonald's has always been a family friendly place, however supporting a NGLCC position goes against traditional family values and is an attempt to change the course of morality and family in a destructive way. My family and I will be boycotting McDonalds until this position is changed." "I am truly disappointed to hear of McDonalds support for the homosexual agenda. I and my family will no longer purchase products from your stores unless I find out that you have changed your position. Please, in the sake of decency, reconsider." "I remember the day Big Macs first came out in the 60's. I remember watching the sign change from "1 million served" to "10 million served" to "1 Biilion served." I remember taking my young children to play and eat at "Playland". I now ask you to reconsider your position on your participation in NGLCC so that my grandkids may experience a piece of "Americana" of which you were at one time so much a part of. Shame on you for caving in. I ask you to remember that last time my family ate at McDonald's and hold that close to you because it is the LAST time we will be there. Please, reconsider your outrageous postion on this family matter." "Please leave social agendas to social organizations, and stick to your secret sauce. My family won't visit Mickey D's until the homosexual agenda thing is over. Sincerely, Bob" "I am very disappointed that you have chosen to support the homosexual agenda." "Disgusted and disappointed to say the least. I will use all my influence to persuade my congregation to not patronize McDonald's until you drop your homosexual agenda." "AS LONG AS YOU CONTININUE TO SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY I WILL CHOOSE NOT TO EAT AT YOUR RESTURANT AND WILL ENCOURAGE EVERYONE I KNOW TO DO THE SAME." ""I am very disabppointed that McDonald's supports the gay and lesbian movement. Our nation was founded on faith in God and this is definitely against what this nation was founded on. Our families are not composed of two moms or two dads. Even our physical makeup clarifies that. God forgive this nation for what we have become."" "What a poor decision you have made to support the perverted agenda of the homosexual community. I too will no longer be supporting your establishments. Who knows, I might find another burger place to take my business permanently." "I am shocked to hear that McDonald's is supporting the gay agenda. I always thought McDonald's was a family restaurant. It is shameful that McDonalds'is supporting such an agenda that is NOT family oriented. I will pass this on to all my friends that go to McDonald's regularly and I will not go to McDonald's anymore unless you change your anti-family position." "I have refused to eat at McDonald's because of your stand on the homosexual agenda. You are certainly are not thinking about moral leadership in the commmunity. It's funny what was abnormal 30 years ago is considered normal now even when it goes against nature and creation. You are bringing shame upon America and the wrath of God upon this nation which any one who is for homosexual agenda will deny. I love you and our country but I love God more." "I will join thousands of others as we stand against your decision to support the gay agenda with your dollars. Mine won't be contributing to the cause until you change your stand and apologize to the faithful supporters you've had over the years." "Since it appears McDonalds, by supporting NGLCC, believes gays/lesbians should receive specail consideration/rights...Iwill not patronize your place of business. I will encourage my friends, children and grandchildren to boycott you also. Please reconsider." "It is a shame that an American "Fast Food Institution" has chosen to alienate itself from millions of customers. I was a lifelong Ford Motors buyer until they chose also. They reversed their position but not before the damage was done and MILLIONS in sales lost. I bought a Scion and another vehicle from Toyota. I prefer Fords like I prefer McDonalds but my family will no longer be patrons of your stores. God Bless you so that you may see your errors." "McDonald's has fed my family many meals, but because of McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda, I will not buy any more meals there unless the policy is reversed." "It's wonderful to be tolerant of differnt types of people, but not when that tolerance leads to the unraveling of the moral fiber of our culture. That's what I think gay rights supporters are doing. Anything DOES NOT go in a successful civilized society. Burger King, here I come. Wake up McDonald's." "I am profoundly sad,shocked sickened and extremely upset that a family oriented business would lend their support to the gay & lesbian anti-family agenda. I will not patronize McDonald's and will encourage my family and friends to do so also." "My choice is never to return until McDonalds retracts its stance. Their choice is to stand against the family." "As grandmother of 10, soon to be 11, I will do all I can to influence my Children and to avoid McDonalds at all cost until you change your position on the homosexual agenda. I am sorry you have taken such a stand. I too have taken a stand, the line is drawn in the concrete. My family will stand firm. I have also encouraged all my extended family and friends to do likewise. I also encouraged them to encourage their friends and their extended family to avoid McDonalds also. Can't wait to see what happens. Your resturants have been in the past a welcome site, no longer. Please reconsider, Janice S. Autry" "This is in deed disturbing that McDonalds, a place that is highly promoted to chldren is now promoting a perverse lifestyle. While our family used to visit MD at least 2-3 times a week... no more. There's a Wendy's right nearby." "McDonalds is supposed to be a family friendly restaurant. This family will not be eating at McDonalds until it reconizes the hands that pay them!" "I have always enjoyed McDonald's growing up and getting me through college so I wouldn't starve. I have enjoyed their dollar menu but, no more. I will not patronize any McDonald's until the corporate board will regain their sense of moral responsiblity." "I will take my business elsewhere. I have been buying $350. worth of coupon books for Christmas gifts for my grandchildren to keep the tradition going that my mother did. I will not subject them to come in to your establishment again. There are plenty of other places to go. Lois Thompto, IowaP.S. We have always loved your pancakes, but will find some elsewhere." "We have enjoyed McDonalds for years with our children and grandchildren. We have enjoyed McDonalds in our home town and overseas in other countries. We are so disappointed in your stance- taking a position that is not necessary to take. Neutrality would be best in everyone's eyes and especially in God's eyes. We will never set foot in or use drive ups for McDonalds again. It is sad. Elmer & Carolyn, Iowa" "As a grandparent we will not be eating Happy Meals anymore. How sad McDonald's has taken such a disappointing stand to support the homosexual agenda." "This is in deed disturbing that McDonalds, a place that is highly promoted to chldren is now promoting a perverse lifestyle. While our family used to visit MD at least 2-3 times a week... no more. There's a Wendy's right nearby." "I am very disapointed to hear that you choose to take this stance. I think it is the wrong message for familys and especially for children. It is not "Hip" to be gay. Maybe when your business starts to plummet because of your actions,(all empires do fall eventually because of their mistakes)then maybe you will do what is right. Until then my boycott is in effect. P.S. I "used"to spend hundreds of dollars per year,now your competition will enjoy your money. Good Luck." "McDonalds is supposed to be a family friendly restaurant. This family will not be eating at McDonalds until it reconizes the hands that pay them!" "It is such a shame to see McDonald's, an American icon, not only support the homosexual agenda but to consider "aggressively promoting" a movement that, for the first time in centuries of Western civilization, is seeking to thrust morally and biologically reprehensible behavior into the spotlight. I used to frequent McDonald's for small purchases and family meals, but can no longer do so with a clear conscience before God. You might feel that supporting the gay rights cause is the "right," as in "politically correct," thing to do, but while you may be gaining kudos with the gay community, you will be losing customers. Should you change your mind, I will be happy to return to McDonald's. God bless." "I am very disappointed by your decision to identify with the gay/lesbian agenda. My family and I will be bypassing McDonald's because of this position." "For decades we have patronized McDonald's as teenagers, as adults, as parents and now grandparents. We have enjoyed what you have offered as a family-friendly restaurant, but that is no longer the case with your decision to publicly support what is an anti-family position on morals. So, from this point on we will no longer be patronizing your establishment and will encourage our family and friends to do likewise. What a shame. You would do better to stay in the "food business" that serves everyone, instead of promoting a political agenda that serves only a small minority of our society and highly offends the majority of your patrons. Sorry for your decision, but not sorry for ours." "I am a McDonald's shareholder and I am very dissapointed in the decision of McDonald's leadership to support an agenda which is not "family friendly" and which is counter to nature." "McDonald's choosing to support the homosexual agenda has caused us as a family to choose other restaurants to frequent. We have eaten at McDonalds for years, but no longer plan on doing so until the company changes it's policy." "I used to choose your restaurant over the other fast foods. Now that I am aware of your desire to reaffirm your position to support the homosexual agenda, I want you to know that i have re-affirmed my position to never visit your fast food establishment again. I will be more than happy to let your competitors know why I chose them and not you as I pay for my food at the drive through window. Beyond disappointed!! All the way to disgusted!" "Why does EVERYTHING today have to be centered around GAY people? I thought McDonald's was about FOOD, not supporting a deviant lifestyle that the Bible clearly states is WRONG. I will not eat at McDonald's anymore unless McDonald's quits supporting the gay lifestyle." "I do not agree your support of the NCLCC homosexual agenda. I work for a large companny and daily urge them to not buy at Mcdonald's which many are boycotting. Please discontinue your support of this immoral agenda so that my grandkids can enjoy McDonals' once again." "I would never have believed that a formerly family friendly company like McDonald's would set out to destroy families by promoting the aims of the NCLCC! I will never again eat at McDonald's until I hear they have renounced this destructive policy." "We are a large family and always enjoyed going to McDonald's. No more because of your foolish decision you will loose many customers." "I am very disapointed that you have chosen to support the NCLCC homosexual agenda. Like many thousands of christians, I also will refuse to patron any of your resturants. I suggest that you read Romans 1:18-32 and decide if this is a decision which should be abondaned. Millions of people will be waiting for you to change your mind. We will be praying for you" "I am not asking McDonald's to treat homosexuals in any way different than you would treat anyone else. But to go above and beyond to support this unnatural and gross behavior is absurd. If McDonalds continues to support this organization, I along with my many children will no longer purchase anything from your resstaurant again." "We will not ever go to McDonalds again. You are a big disappointment." "McDonald's has been a place we took our children and grandchildren to eat and play but we cannot patronize someone who is blatantly supporting homosexual agenda. It is very disappointing to me but we will be looking elsewhere to take our buisness." "We will no longer support McDonald's." "I feel very strongly about staying neutral, not getting behind the Gay agenda. I do not want to support the lifestyle whatsoever. What you are doing is not family oriented whatsoever, and I will gladly boycott your business if this is the direction you are taking. It is one thing to treat someone of another lifestyle with compassion, it's another to endorse it. I want nothing to do with a business that doesn't get the picture, that this isn't a lifestyle to get behind and support. Sincerely, Joyce Munsell" "I dislike McDonald's policies as much as I dislike their food!" "i am so sorry to hear of you last action to support the gay movement. it is not that i am againgst gays for God's son died for them too. we will no longer be supporting any of your places of business mr ad mrs b" "I will take my business to Burger King and Wendy's. Kim Sauder" "I hate to tell my grandchildren no more happy meals after school everyday and no more breakfast for me until you withdraw from the NGLCC" "I would have loved taking my grandson to see Ronald McDonald before I saw this news. You'll lose a generation of Godly customers after this. Sorry you'll not get any more of my business." "What is happening to our nation when well established businesses like McDonald's openly support lifestyles that are clearly against the laws of God and will eventually bring America to destruction. The Gay and Lesbian movement is being forced down the throats of Americans and we don't like it." "McDonald's is a family restaurant. Are you nuts? Why would you thumb your nose at families in order to satisfy homosexuals?" ""I do not understand how you can be at all concerned about the future of America or any 'healthy' agendas for Americans if you are supporting such and medically-proven unhealthy lifestyle! I certainly will find many other satisfying places to support with my regular "lunch money."" "Media focuses on what you do (behind the scenes)... you are not the only game in town, and I will make sure everyone in my town boycotts McDonalds. We have plenty of other choices & this made our choice very clear! Family & morality 1st!!" "I find it interesting that you align yourself with a portion of society that at best constitutes 2-3% of the general population. You can aggressively support the G/L agenda but I will not patronize your stores until you change your stand." "I will boycott McDonald's and encourage everyone I know to do the same. I attend a church with a large congregation and I will spread this to everyone to boycott McDonalds. Phyllis Heafner" "I can't believe McDonald's is going to be proactive in favor of supporting the homosexual agenda. Why can't you just be silent on this issue and stop supporting, with your name and finances, this lifestyle? I will not buy anything from McDonald's and will do everything possible to recommend to others not to patronize your establishment. I have 5 grandchildren and 1 on the way.....I will pass this message on to their parents! If you change your ways and remain silent and neutral then I will change my position." "I do not believe that businessess should support any type of lifestyle. I will not be supporting McDonald's as long as you support NCLCC homosexual agenda!!!!!!!!! You need to reconsider!!!!!!!" "i will not go to mc donalds any longer." "I will no longer support McDonalds. Your stance is not about serving/hiring GLBT people, it is about promoting their lifestyle, which is repugnant to me, to my family, my friends, and my church. Please reconsider your support for forcing America to accept the GLBT personal and political agenda. I look forward to hearing that you have moderated your position, and then I will consider coming back to your establishment." "WHAT A DARN SHAME! NO MORE BUSINESS FROM THIS GRANDMA AND GRAND KIDS. AND I SHALL SEND A NOTE TO ALL OTHERS I KNOW AND LET THEM BE AWARE IN CASE THEY DID'T KNOW." "As a mom trying to raise a family i'm sickened to know McDonald's would stoop to an all time low like this. I thought McDonalds was for the family but obviously they don't we will not patronize your establishments any longer. Shame on you McDonalds." "I was extremely disappointed to learn that your corporation supports the NCLCC. My sons are young and impressionable, and I will explain to them why we will no longer be buying meals from McDonalds." "Man and woman are created to become one. That is it period. My family will not eat at McDonald's if they continue to support the homosexual agenda." "I will not be eating at McDonalds until your stance on this issue changes." "McDonald's has been a part of my life forever it seems but no more. I am very disappointed in this establishment's stand on gay and lesbian marriage; wasn't McDonald's supposed to be geared toward children? What kind of future is McDonald's supporting?I am asking all my friends and contacts to join me on boycotting McDonald's." "My family has been a customer for years, our children always enjoyed going to McDonalds, but until you pull out from the NGLCC. Our families which are Christian will no longer support McDonald in any way, we will choose to eat at other places, and there are many to choose from, in fact we just ate at Arby's the other evening, and we will continue to do so until McDonald makes a change. I know our Lord is not pleased with your support of something He has called an "abomination". Please change your position and get out of politics." "Very disappointing in your decision to support the homosexuality movement, it makes no sense." "I am a mother of 3 and will boycott McDonald's until they change their support from homosexual to neutral. I am very disappointed in McDonald's leadership. You have lost my business!" "McDonald's will not see another dime from me or anyone in my family until it stops supporting the gay agenda." "It is disappointing to see a company such as yours lower their standards by supporting the gay movement. My family will not be patronizing McDonalds." "Shame on you for your policy to support gays and lesbians. My love for God is stronger than my love of my Big Macs." "I am sorry that you have chosen to support the homosexual lifestyle. I will no longer be bringing my students to your restaurants for Happy Meals after our field trips." "I am extremely disappointed in McDonald's position on homosexuality. It is morally dispicable and your stance gives me no choice but to boycott any Mcdonald's restaurant." "I am VERY disappointed in your position regarding NCLCC. My family has been faithful customers for so many years but in view of your support for this, we shall not eat at your restaurants until you change your position. Your support of their agenda is just unacceptable to parents of young children and decent Christians everywhere. We will choose a new "Favorite" fast food restaurant. There certainly are plenty other choices available that reflect the family values you seem to have abandoned. Bev Peterson, PA" "I have three children and we will not go to McDonald's again. We will go to Burger King or Wendy's." "I am very sad to see that McD's goes for the bottom line instead of morality. It used to be one of our favorite places to stop when traveling. No more!" "I used to eat a McDonald's but NO MORE! As long as McDonalds actively endorses and supports such immoral behavior as homosexuality, I will not eat there." "We love McDonald's, but your good food isn't as important to my family and I as traditional institutions that make society possible. We'll come back when you do." "Disappointing that any corp should endorse perverse groups. My family and I will no longer spending our food funds at McDonalds." "As a child, I ate McDonalds every Friday. My first job was at McDonalds. I always thought your organization was a family friendly company. Your current business practices have proven that to be an incorrect assumption. I will no longer patronize your organiztion until you choose to stand behind the traditional family." "I am disappointed in yur decision to support homosexualty as a preferred behavior. I willno longer trade with your establisdhments. Jack Cicolello" "I took my children and their friends to McD's for fun and birthday parties. We spent countless hours and (all told) thousands of dollars at your stores. My dollars will now go elsewhere. We will not support a corporation that supports immorality. Ask Ford about their ride." "I respectfully request that you discontinue your open support of the Gay lifestyle and withdraw from the NCLCC. I will be taking my business to one of your competitors until you do so. Clifford Kreifels" "My family of 13 will not be patronizing your restaurants due to your promotion of the homosexual agenda. We hope for the sake of America's future, you will reconsider your position." "I am very disappointed in your support of the NGLCC. My family will eat else where." "What is America coming too? Our families must now boycott an "all-american" restaurant that is obviously not "all-american"." "I worked at 2 different McDonald's restaurants in my teen years, as did several other members of my family. We have always been big fans of "the arches," but not any more. My four children will not consume a single Happy Meal as long as this ridiculous affront to the family continues. I am deeply saddened that McDonald's has chosen this cause to put its considerable weight behind. Large corporations (yours in particular) have a strong hold over most young people in this country and I am disgusted that you would choose to use that sway in such a deplorable way. Choose you this day whom you will serve; as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the gay agenda. I will no longer frequent any of your restaurants. It is sad that your give money to someone based on their sexual preference. Homosexuality is against God's word and the way we should live." "we enjoyed our meal at A & W today. McDonalds will not be an option now" "No more McDonalds for my children until you come to your senses." "I will no longer go to McDonald's nor anyone in my family (we go there about 3 to 4 times per week) unless your company becomes neutral on homosexual issues and homosexual marriage which will hinder our society and lives" "I do not agree with your stand on the homosexual lifestyle." "My husband and I have 4 children. McDonalds was a good cheap way for us to feed our entire family. It was nothing for our family to eat at McDonalds two or three times each week but never again. I will gladly pay higher prices at other establishments or we will just eat at home. We will not allow our money to go to support the homosexual agenda." "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, KIDS LOVE MCDONALDS, BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE US AGAIN. WE ALSO LOVE BURGER KING AND KRYSTAL" "My family, friends & I will no longer eat at McDonald's. I am very disappointed that McDonald's has chosen to financially support NGLCC. This decision goes well beyond seeing all people as having value & worth. Please re-consider this corporate decision." "gimmee a break.Burger King and Wendys here we come. 4 or 5 times a week to nothing." "I would like to ask you to remain neutral in the homosexual agenda or abstain from backing any position. My family, along with my church, have had to choose to boycott McDonald's because of your position you have taken. Harrisonville, Missouri" "Thank God for men like Truitt Cathy and Chick Fil A. I have a choice and my family and I will use it!" "I will no longer support Mcdonald's by purchasing products as long as you support the homosexual agenda." "I certainly believe we should not discriminate against someone in hiring or the workplace because of sexual preferences. But that is no reason for McDonald's to use their size and resources to promote a certain lifestyle by using the profits gained from those who oppose it. There are many opportunities for McDonald's to promote positive things in their communities. There are too many choices for fast food for me to continue to spend my money at a place that promotes something with which I disagree. This is a bad economic decision for McDonald's. You have much to lose and even more to gain by better choices and better leadership." "It is disappointing to known that McDonalds supports the Homosexual agenda I used to eat at McDonalds very often. Now my family and I will no longer eat there. I will communicate this to my friends and co-workers." "McDonald's.... shame on you! Using your corporation to support a political agenda. I knew there was a reason I never have liked McDonalds... the proof is in the pudding! I will ask everyone I know to boyoott your restaurant. Fast food, no morals!" "My family loves McDonald's fries at a minimum and we would frequent it because of my daughters and grandchild, but no more. We have not eaten there in several months and until you change your mind about supporting a lifestyle contrary to our belief then we will not return to your establishment." "I am a foster and adoptive mother who always frequented your establishment with many children. That will now cease along with as many others that I can contact. God's word was given to us as a road map for life as well as our moral quide." "Shame on you Mcdonalds! Homosexuality is not aa alternative lifestyle but is sexual perversion and immorality. It goes against God's natural and revealed law. We will stop going to your stores and pass the word on to everyone. Bill Melnyk Sterling Heights, Michigan" "My family and I will no longer be a part of your ability to support the gay agenda." "What a disappointment! McDonald's has always been a part of our family but due to your support of the gay and lesbian agenda my family will no longer patronize your restaurant. Perhaps your corporate decision makers should consult God's word before making such a fatal decision. The Pilgrims" "I refuse to frequent a fastfood restaurant like McDonalds that so blatanly endorse a lifestyle that is an abomination to the loving and pure God that I serve. I plan to encourage my family and friends to stop going to McDonalds!" "From this time on, I will never darken the doors of any McDonalds fast food establishment." "PLENTY OF FAST FOOD PLACES FOR BURGERS AND FRIES! I WILL MOVE ON TO WENDY'S AND LOCALLY OWNED STORES." "The heart of our culture and societyare at stake. I will not support Mcdonald's as long as the support the disstruction of our country & values." "Please stop supporting the homosexual agenda; I will not be supporting your business any longer. K. Milstead" "A great joy for me is to pick up grandchildren once a week from kindergarten. Each week we have the same discussion: McDonald's or Chick-fil-a. McDonald's usually wins (because of the french fries!). Now I will not give a choice - Chick-fil-a it is! I have explained to the boys that we won't spend our money at McDonald's because it supports things that we believe are wrong. They understand, and support Granny's choices." "I support the boycott, not least because the food is rubbish." "Just as you chose to support this immoral movement, I choose not to support your restaurants in the future. I will support another fast-food restaurant in my hometown and also when on the road...." "I have eat McDonald for years, I am a bus driver and I travel all over with seniors. I have stopped at my last McDonad's, and my church group goes to mac's after church also I am going to try to stop that also!!!!!" "I do not want you taking the money I spend on your food and giving it to those that engage in sexual perversions and undermine our society. I will let the homosexuals buy from you while I eat at elsewhere. Dwayne Dean Hollywood, Florida" "I am very disappointed in this company who for many years now has affected the lives of many children. I do not agree with what message this new decision is sending to our children as well as the rest of the world. I am completely determined not to continue my patrionage with such a company as long as these ideals are being supported." "Political correctness can equal BUSINESS SUICIDE. Are you ready for only the profit margin loss? That is the BOTTOM LINE of all business affiliations. I love the Fish Fillets, but will not participate in a politically active business. Your loss." "i am so dissappointed. i grew up going to mcdonalds and now that i have my own kids. i am disappointed to say i will not take my kids there ever.WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MORALS??? WHAT HAPPENED TO FAMILY VALUES?? mcdonalds is so worried about offending homosexuals. but what about everyone else." "Since being made aware of your position on support of homosexuality, I will not do any business with any of your stores until I hear of a change toward a proper societal attitude. Jim Moseley" "I will avoid McDonalds until you retract your endorsment of NCLCC." "I have supported McDonalds for almost 48 years but, when you use my money to support what I consider to be wrong, I can no longer support McDonalds." "Not that you care but neither me or my family will be patronizing McDonalds. My only queston is: Why are you so bent on destroying the country that made it possible for you to be a success?" ""I am very disappointed in the position that McDonald's has taken.You do not have to support immoral bahavior to be supportive of indivisual rights.Reconsider your position or your actions will have far reaching consequences,"" "What is more important: breakfast burritos and Big Macs or standing on moral ground for what is right? Easy for my family to choose what is right. Chick-fil-a is where you'll find my family now." "I will no longer patronize your restaurants." "I support diversity too but not homosexuality as a healthy lifestyle. No more golden arches for me..." "I too will not purchase from McDonalds untill they discontinue support for the gay lesbian community." "McDonalds.........I am ashamed of your posiion with the NGLCC. My family and friends will no longer patronize the McDonalds business and I will personally try my hardest to get this message out to the pro-family members of my community. Remember.....you can't always have it your way!!" "My family will no longer eat at McDonald's as long as the company supports the NCLCC homosexual agenda. I will certainly tell my friends as well." "As an establishment that derives its wealth from families, it is a mistake to go against family values. As a parent and grandparent I have supported you for 40 yrs...no more." "I am terribly disappointed with McDonald's. I grew up enjoying the delicious food served in their restaurants, but now my family and I will be boycotting them until they wise up and stop supporting the homosexual agenda. Shame on you, McDonald's! Your slogan for the past few years has been "I'm lovin' it." I think I speak for every pro-family citizen when I say, "I'm not lovin' it!"" "I will miss the Shamrock shakes, but it's not worth it anymore to support this company or the homosexual agenda" "For McDonald's - a supposedly pro-family organization - to support the NGLCC, a decidedly anti-family organization; well, it doesn't make sense. Nor does it make sense for me or my family to patronize McDonald's. We are very disappointed in McDonald's stance." "My Grand daughters love going to McDonalds....guess they will have to find another favorite place.I think you need to be reminded...these are our children.What kind of message are you sending here." "You will never see my family again in any of your establishments! Do you have any plans to honor Christian Families?" "McDonald's will no longer be associated with children and families, only with thumbing their noses at the very ones who have helped them achieve such an empire. McDonald's won't see one red cent of my finances." "I won't be buying anything at McDonald's in the future." "I have 16 children and eat at McDonald's 2-3 times a week. My children and I will not eat at a McDonald's again until you withdraw from the NGLCC!" "i thought McDonald's was a family place! Guess not-and I will never eat there again with my family." "i will return to mcd when you become neutral in the cultural war" "I have been a very good customer of McDonalds since I worked in HS at the Niles, Illinois store. My 3 children and 5 grand-children have eaten our last meals at your McDonald's with your forward stance on the declining moral decay of our society." "As a grandmother and also a babysitter who brings children to your restaurants several times a week, I am very disappointed to know of your stand on homosexuality. I will not be bringing these children to any of your establishments in the future." "Dear Sir or Ma'am, Please explain to me how you run the Ronald McDonald house and then give tens of thousands of dollars to organizations that destroy family life and are counter-culture to everything McDonald's pretends to support. Have you ever heard of the "Man Boy Association"??? Please explain your position now! Never mind, ME AND EVERYONE I KNOW WILL EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND WE'LL RAISE OUR KIDS THAT MCDONALD'S IS NOT WHERE "GOOD" PEOPLE EAT.....Lee T. Comtois and family" "Your "Happy Meals" are a draw for kids. How sad that what has been a fun thing has now become an agenda to advertise and support a lifestyle which destroys family,endorses perversion and causes the "little ones to stumble" It would be "better for you McDonald's if a millstone were placed around your neck and you were cast into the sea".I will tell everyone I know to stop eating at your restaurant." "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the NGLCC. I grew up with McDonald's and have enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit a couple of times a week, until now. I cannot understand why a company that says they want to be involved in social issues, doesn't stay focused on ones that support traditional family values. THe traditional families are the ones who have supported you over the years and helped your company to grow. Now I have to find somewhere else to eat." "My large extended family and friends will no longer patronize any McDonalds facility." "We are so disappointed in you for deciding to go against God's word! We have enjoyed eating your food but will no longer be doing so." "How sad! I would have thought McDonald's would have been one of the very last to forsake our traditional family values! I'm very disappointed in you and will patronize your competitors now!" "I will never enter your place of business as long as you support this perverted G/L lifestyle. It's people like you who contribute to the continuing deterioration of our country and the ideals set forth by our founding fathers." "My family will no longer eat at McDonald's. Why would they support anyones sexual preference? What next pedophiles? How far will McDonald's go to satify the immoral hunger of the few?" "My family and I eat at Mcdonalds at least 5 times monthly and we are a big family, we will no longer sit back and watch the destruction of the traditional family be perpetuated by dollars given to McDonalds. We will not eat at any of your restaurants nor will I pick up my morning coffee until Corporate stops supporting the Homesexual Agenda." "I have always taken my children and their friends to you establishment, NOT ANYMORE" "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be supporting your establishment any more. Thank You Pansy" "You are no longer a Family orientated company. I will boycott you. Wayne Neumann" "Iam very disappointed to hear that McDonald's is supporting the homosexual agenda. As a frequent patron of McDonald's and a place I take my grandchildren frequently, I will no longer be able to support this franchise. Sincerely. Jimmie Ann Cooley Arab, Al." "I am a pastor and a grandfather of five, form now on my grandchildren as well as the young peolpe in my church will go to another fast food chain for our fun & fellowship time together." "I have been a loyal customer of McDonald's. I will go else where because of their attack on the family." "McDonald's used to be my favorite fast food restaurant. But now, because McDonald's refuses to remain neutral in this battle, I will longer support McDonald's with my business." "I will no longer support McDonalds and will encourage my students to do the same. I use to have great respect for McDonalds but cannot support them when they support something as immoral as homosexuality" "Looks like you just lost me and my family of 5's business. Ask your self is support/endorsment for 10% of the population worth the loss of 30-40% revenue due to a boycott? It doesn't take much common sence to figure out thats just bad business!" "I promise you, I will not eat at McDonanld's nor take my 3 children their any more. Ever." "Until your company decides to remain neutral in regards to supporting the Gay Agenda, I will not support your company in any way. Promoting the homosexual lifestyle is not a "social cause." Why not give your money to help the homeless or poor? Why not give more money to your Ronald McDonald's house?" "Since 1972 I have been eating at Mcdonald's, but by supporting the unnatural homosexsual lifestile they have turned away and against the natural, heterosexual,one man and one woman family structure.As of today my family and I will not eat there untill they not only change,but give their support to traditional families. Untill then they have seen my last dollar.We will all be healthier and we will tell all our family and friends to do the same.Thanks AFA for staying alert." "If McDonalds does not support traditional family values, then our family (which is very, very large)will no longer support McDonalds. (The Gonzalez')" "We have been regular McDonald's customers for many years, visiting several times a week. We will not be visiting the restaurants again, unless McDonald's changes their policy of promoting the homosexual life style." "My first job was at McDonald's. That was over 35 years ago. I always remembered and spoke of it with pride. No more. I am now ashamed and embarrassed. I am disappointed in the choices you are now making. Because of your choices, I too, will be making different choices until McDonald's comes to their senses and cuts their ties with the NGLCC." "Me and my family will not be eating at McDonaldswhile they are a part of the NGLCC and support the homosexual agenda. There are plenty of other fast food places to eat. Rod" "Our family is very active and we eat McDonald's 6-8 times a week. By choosing to not remain neutral in the culture war, I would assume that my family's business is unimportant to you. We have resolved as a family not to patronize any of your establishments until you reconsider AND withdraw from the NGLCC." "Our family of 11 will no longer be stopping into McDonalds as we cannot support McDonald's involvement with the NCLCC. Please reconsider your stand on this perverse anti-family anti-marriage anti-society stand you have taken." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's has decided to move away from it's family orientation by supporting NGLCC. Sorry I cannot and will not support that." "I will make sure no one in my family eats at McDonalds until you become neutral on the issue of homosexuality. I will also tell extended family and friends to do the same." "I am disappointed a family restaurant would support values that are not promoting families. We will be taking our business elsewhere until you go back to supporting families. Lisa" "I am very disappointed in McDonald's decision to be associated with this movement and I will no longer frequent McDonald's restaurants." "McDonald's has aleays been a family restaurant. What you are doing is against the nuclear family and Mr. Kroc must be turning over in his grave." "No more Macs for my family!!!" "As someone who once worked for McDonald's, I am very disappointed to learn of the company's support for the Gay and Lesbian agenda. Why is it not obvious that what they're pushing is anti-family perversion? It is my sincere hope that McDonalds's will reconsider their position on this matter. Charles Radebaugh" "Shame on you McDonalds. I'll be taking my grandchildren elsewhere." "I will not be back to Mcdonald's until you reverse your decision in support of this agenda." "Here we go again - you must realize that what you do is going to eventually get back to the paying public - and once again I am letting you know that McDonald's will not get my business nor that of my many friends as long as you continue to promote the homosexual agenda. Please do not think that Christians only represent "a drop in the bucket" of your customers - there are many more of us than you think." "Myself personally, my family and our school's sports teams will be boycotting McDonald's because of their stance to promote the homosexual lifestyle. Thanks McDonald's, you make my job as a consumer that much easier now that you are off the list of possible choices" "Being party to such a horrific agenda as the NGLCC makes us wonder what's next for McDonald's. We do not fault you for hiring or serving the gay community but to promote it is another thing entirely. Disappointed in WA." "I absolutely will not patronize McD's as long as they support the gay and lesbian agenda...much less send them money!!!?? I can do very well at Wendy's or any of a dozen other hamburger places. Best to keep your political opinions private when you are in the customer business." "I am supporting the boycott of any and all McDonald's due to the gay agenda that they support. As a Christian mother these are not values that I want my children and grandchildren to be raised with and I will forward this to everyone I know so that they may join in this boycott. Respectfully, Tammy D. Kelly" "First of all I'm very surprised and very disappointed at McDonald's. I, my friends and family will not us McDonald's again until they change there views. Don T." "I am so dissapointed. What has this world come to? I will no longer be visiting McDonal's again." "Too many other places to eat. I won't be eating at McDonalds any time soon after this decision. Come on, focus on your business, making hamburgers." "And I always thought McDonald's was THE definitive example of family oriented business! The term "kid's meal" seems a little hypocritical don't you think? You should be taking the moral high road for our kid's sake. Good luck explaining lost sales and poor business decisions to your stock holders." "No more McDonalds for my family. Our boycotts do work, ya know. Just ask Ford and Disney." "I am so tired of having homosexuality rammed down my throat. It has already destroyed my family." ""I will not be eating at McDonald's anymore!"" "I am extremely disappointed that you opted the same road as Ford. Just as Ford lost profits due to their inappropriate decisions, you can expect that the same will happen to McDonald's. I will no longer be taking my grandkids to McDonald's. I'll take them to Wendy's and Burger King. I will encourage others to do likewise. Enjoy your trip downhill with Ford for company." "It's beyond comprehension that MacDonald's would take sides on an issue so divisive as this? What are you thinking?" "My family and I will no longer be eating at McDonalds because of your support of the homosexual agenda." "I will not be going to McDonalds again. This is unacceptable." "I will not patronize your restaurants until you withdraw your corporate support of NGLCC. This from a mother and grandmother who frequented McDonald's often in the past. You are no longer a family place worth patronizing." "I am a grandmother of 6 healthy normal children and I will not support McDonald's as long as your policy is to select the homosexual agenda to support." "I of course do not understand homosexuality nor do I want to, why do you feel the need to impose your preference on the world. You will have to answer for your actions and I will answer for mine. You are in a very important position why do you feel the need to impose on everyone else." "I always thought McDonalds supported normal family values. It appears this philosophy has changed & so will my choice in choice of my lunch place unless this changes." "No more big macs for my family. If it is not a good moral eating establishment, then I won't participate" "I am very sorry to see Micky D's go in this direction. As long as you hold this anti-family stance, our family will no longer be patrons of your restaurant." "As a pastor and school director of many hundreds of students, I urge you to change your position to supporting righteousnes, which develops strong character and holy living. Young will respond to decent leadership. I have directed them for the past 50 years and am still doing it. Young want to turn from their sins and they can only do that through the acceptance of the payment for sin that He made on the cross. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, He knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ." II Cor. 5:21. He hates the sin, but loves the sinner for which we all are. Think about it! Linton" "I will add McDonald's to my prayer list" "I am very disappointed to hear that McDonald's has chosen to support the anti-family homosexual agenda. I had always thought of McDonald's as a family restaurant. Apparently, you are more concerned with supporting the abnormal, anti-family gay & lesbian life-style rather than supporting families that were the foundation of your very existence. I can no longer take my family to eat at any of your restaurants as long as you choose this disheartening path. I will boycott McDonald's as long as you choose to boycott families." "You have lost my wife and me as customers because of your pro-homosexual stance. We'll make our stops at Wendy's, Whataburger, Jack in the Box, Burger King, and other places that are NOT like you." "As a Father of seven and grandfather of four I am embarrassed that your company has entered the radical gay and lesbian battlefront, and abandoned your “family” restaurant foundation. You support the G/L agenda; I don’t support your stores!!!" "I am disappointed that McDonald's had decided to take sides in this controversy. I will never use your facilities again!" "Wendys, here I come! What a very sad day in America when a big Co like yours chooses the wrong side of the cultural war." "McDonalds Corporation, My family will no longer eat at McDonald's Restuarants since you choose to liason with the gay & lesbian chamber of commerce instead of the heterosexual families of America. You target children in your commercials, yet you blatatnly slap families in the face. You will get no more of my family's money." "We have gone out of our way in the past, not to purchase from Carl's Jr., because of their horrid ads, we will now be looking for an establishment other than McDonald's to dine. It is a sad day in America, to think that a company that choose to do so much good with the Ronald McDonald House, seeks to destroy the Moral family values." "I would have signewd the petition if it had accepted a Canadian postal code. No more McDonald's for this family!" "One person in your organization, however powerful, will be enough to destroy even the strongest corporation. GOOD BYE to McDonalds. God IS still in control! And I can get used to BK's breakfasts!!!" "This is a sad day for American families. It has alway's been a family tradition to eat at McDonald's and even Celebrate some of our Children's birthday's. I will be praying for the management of this company and for a change of heart! Please don't support the homosexual agenda! Our family too will go else where until that day comes." "I can not believe that such a family oriented resturant could support an agenda that will ultimately break down the core of the family and all that is associated with the structure of society. I am quite sure that our local McDonald's will suffer for this decision. I personally will not buy another item from you and will tell everyone I know what you are all about. obviously you wish to make a stand and now so will I." "I love McDonald's food and prices, but I will no longer be supporting them as a result of this decision and I will make sure my friends and family know about your STUPID DECISION. You have just lost a lot of loyal customers and families." "We are extremely disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda including same sex marrage. We will not visit McDonalds resturants until you reverse your support and withdraw from the NGLCC. We will also encourage our family and friends to also withdraw their patronage from McDonalds." "I have a 2 year old son who loves to go to McDonalds,..what now?...if you support NGLCC,...why cant you proudly support Christianity,... its no longer a family friendly place. You have gotten way out of line." ":( Very sad to see McDonald's supporting the homosexual agenda. What's next? Supporting alcoholism, Kid porn? No more McDonald's for my family" "we own quite a few shares mcd stock.which we will be selling." "I suppose I'll have to eat at Burger King from now on.I'm thoroughly dissapointed." "Although I have enjoyed eating at McDonals over the years, your policy to favor activist gay policies and to financialy support them leaves me no alternative but to choose the Whopper over the Big Mac. Hopefully you will agree to become neutral in this culture war, as Ford Motor Company has, and I'll be able to return to MacDonalds." "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be supporting your establishment until you change your decision. Gary and Jan Chaffee Kennesaw, Ga. 30144" "We are asking that you remain neutral." "I wrote to you several weeks ago, but then heard there was a mix up regarding your endorsement of the NGLCC. I continued to eat at McDonald's. I now see that there was no mix-up. I am saddened that my purchases of your products would violate my religious principles. I can no longer support your company. I have eaten at your establishments worldwide, knowing I could trust your quality and consistancy. As a Catholic Christian who values her religious principles, I can no longer in good conscious support you and your financial agenda." "I will not be purchasing at McDonald's until your support of the NCLCC homosexual agenda is withdrawn." "The Mac Attack has turned on me and attacking our families and faith. There goes my Friday Fillet 0 Fish stop. I hope my waste line goes down too. LOL!" "I am very dissapointed in what I thought was a family place to take our kids to. I to will not be stepping foot into another McDonald's again." "My family and I have eaten at McDonald's since it first opened here in Georgia. You have great food at prices that fit our budget. But, there's more important things to consider. We hate to say good-bye, but we can't pay out our money to go for an ungodly cause. I'm praying that God will show McDonald's the right way to go. McDonald's won't continue to prosper for long, because you're not in the will of God. Just as the Disney Corporation, you fooled us into thinking you were 'family oriented'; why did you do this?" "I am very disappointed with your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I have spend many hours and dollars at McDonalds, but as of a few weeks back, I have not walked through your doors nor will our weekly friends group meet there. We have chosen another restaurant. I urge you to reconsider your decision. Thank you for listening. Mary Greene" "As long as McDonalds supports the Gay and Lesbian agenda, I will not be supporting you. I will take my family and grandchildren elsewhere. Please save the sanctity of our families and stop supporting the gay and lesbian agenda!" ""It is very sad that you will not stay neutral. You think that you would want to be supportive of everyone. Since you are being onesided then we will also choose to be onesided and not support you." "I will not patronize any establishment supporting G/L agenda. Employment is fine. Donations - NEVER!" "it will be difficult to convince the grand kids we prefer some other fast food restaurant but we will" "Supporting homosexual marriage erodes the traditional family. Many children will suffer because of this. We will not eat at McDonald's until you stop supporting this harmful lifestyle." "We have frequented McDonald's regularly. I have a son with some special needs and we're regularly on the road to therapy sessions. It is quite common for us to make McDonalds a regular part of our outings (i.e. one to three times weekly). This ended as of today. Today were his regularly scheduled weekly therapy sessions. I had to explain to my three children as we left the therapy that we could no longer support our most regular dining habit. My children were disappointed...not in my choice, but in yours. They were very hurt that they once trusted Ronald McDonald as a family-friendly restaurant, but learned that you are undermining their trust by your support of homosexuality. We love all God's people, but we cannot support nor condone what they do. Please reconsider your policy. . ." "Your decision to support the abominable NCLCC homosexual agenda has cost you a customer. I will no longer frequent your restaurants. I'm spreading the word of your decision to my friends who I am certain will agree with me. Too bad." "The children and I will not be buying at McDonald's any longer, because of your support and promotion of the homosexual agenda." "I am very disappointed that such a family establishment would support the homosexual agenda at all. And, you are doing it in such a blatant way. No more patronization from me. Ann" "I will not darken their doors, unless there is a FULL reversal of their position." "Please get back to family values. This family of 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren will boycot McDonalds until you do!" "Please do not support the Gay and Lesbian movement in our nation. Your money could be used in so many other ways to improve the lives of our children and future generations. Please reconsider your stand. Thank You." "I use to eat breakfast at McDonalds 2 or 3 days a week while the kids, and grandkids, ate their multiple times a week. Burger King is now my choice and I plan to support them with my hard earned dollars. Ford learned the hard way, I guess McDonalds will will have to learn from their pocketbook as well. Sincerely Clay" "I grew up going to McDonalds. I loved their Egg McMuffins and fruit parfaits the most but I also bought many of their menu selections. However, because you have decided to support that which is a determent to the human race, I can not longer support your company. I will take my family elsewhere." "I am very sorry to see McDonald's caring more about support and endorsing the homosexual way of life than the time honored traditional family values in America. Since this is your choice, it is our family's choice to no longer do business of any kind with any McDonald's. There are many other restaurants to patronize. We will also be aware of t.v. programs you advertise on and tell them we will not support them either. It really is too bad that we cannot take our grandchildren to McDonald's anymore. B. Irish" "I remember a time when McDonalds supported Special Olympics - I or my family will not be supporting your place of business any longer as well will everyone else that I forward this message too. What happened to supporting worthy causes and DO NOT tell me the NGLCC is one of those as it goes against God's word" "I am bitterly disappointed that McDonald's has chosen to support a minority of people to please a few. What a horrible decision! We will not eating at your restaurants!" "What a way to go. shame on you and you claim to be a family restaurant. One day we all will stand before God and answer for the things we have chosen to do. I will choose not to enjoy your wonderful biscuits and will go elsewhere." "I am disappointed with McDonald's decision to support the homosexual agenda and I WILL BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!" "I have visted McDonalds restaurants since 1964, which is 44 years and counting. I am very disappointed in your company's decision to support the unnatural NCLCC. Me, my seven children and 12 grandchildren will not patronize McDonalds ever again until you withdraw your support for the NGLCC." "I have loved eating at McDonald's since I was a small girl and now I have 4 grandchildren that I take regularly. That has stopped until you withdraw from your political position aligning with the homosexual agenda and ignoring family values. My husband is a Pastor and we will ask our church members and other distict churches not to patronize your restaurants until you take a neutral position." "based on your actions, I will choose NOT to eat at a McDonalds franchise again. By the way, we're a family of 5 and I'll spend my money at a restaurant that does not cater to the whims of the gay community." "You could have remained neutral on this issue; you instead raised a red flag and waved it in the faces of the majority of the people who patronized your establishments. You will learn that the majority of your patrons do NOT condone homosexuality, or the agenda that is taking over this nation." "I am deeply disturbed that your corporation has chosen to support the homsexual agenda with no thought as to the damage this causes to my family. I have decicded that my family will no longer utilize your services." "Farewell Big Mac & those great fries! Big Mac has made a decision we cannot abide by. Our decision is to eat elsewhere. There are plenty of burger places in town that reflect our beliefs,standards & values. We will miss you but don't look for us walking into your doorway in Florida." "I have always enjoyed Big Macs, the great fries, egg McMuffins, and many other MacDonald's products. No more! Not even the 49 cent Wed. & Sun. specials you are now offering. Your support of the homosexual agenda is totally unacceptable to me and my family, so we will no longer patronize your stores until you assume a "neutral" position on this matter." "i, too, will no longer support macdonalds. i will pay more to ANY other fast food before i will agree to support your corp. stand on G/L marriages." "Please do not support the homosexual agenda. It goes against God's Word and America's best interest. I will not purchase anything from McDonald's until you change your position. I have a retail establishment and I will suggest my customers join me in this cause." "Your disappointing company decision to support the unnatural NCLCC homosexual agenda has convinced me to never enter a McDonald's restaurant again. I was looking forward to enjoying your upgraded coffee offerings, but no more." "As a grandfather of 11 grandchildren we will not patronize your establishments." "Shame on you McDonald's I grew up with you and you should be ashamed. I will never set foor inside a store again until you withdraw from the NGLCC." "I have always enjoyed the Big Mac since my grown boys were kids. I'll just have to look elsewhere now." "I have been a customer of McDonalds for decades. That will stop now, until you regain your sense of moral responsibility. Ford has gone down the same road. Enjoy the ride." "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be supporting your establishment. Thank you Debbie" "I usually eat at McDonald's once or twice a week. But no more. I will not support any business that is opposed to what God says is true. Read First Corinthians 6:9-10." "We are disappointed in your choice! We will join our friends at Wendy's and Burger King. Blessing, The Mortons" "Our group will no longer eat at McDonalds after church services." "I am very disabppointed that McDonald's supports the gay and lesbian movement. Our nation was founded on faith in God and this is definitely against what this nation was founded on. Our families are not composed of two moms or two dads. Even our physical makeup clarifies that. God forgive this nation for what we have become." "I will never again enter a McDonalds and I talk a lot and will e-mail and tell everyone I know to do the same and they will. What an issue to take a side on. I don't care what they do I just don't want to know what they do sexually and people are tired of homos flaunting their lifestyle (sin) in everybody face." "What must the stock holders and franchise owners be thinking? You will soon be out of business. In a few years there will be no more children to worry about,If we all adopt an "alternative lifestyle"." "We will NOT be going to McDonald's any longer because of your support for the gay agenda. If you change your position, we will change ours. Chris" "I think it would be in your best interest to stick to what you know best - Fast Inexpensive Food - That is why I have been a patron for the last 25 years and its where you have been successful. You have every right to support the gay and lesbian agenda just as the millions of people just like me have the right to take our business somewhere else." "I use to eat breakfast at McDonalds 2 or 3 days a week while the kids ate their multiple times a week. I'm going to BurgerKing now and have been for several months when I first heard about what McDonalds was doing. If they don't support traditional familes, my family will not support them." "I will no longer take my children to McDonalds. It is very upsetting that so many large corporations are choosing to support homosexuality. You may gain their customer support but you will lose many others who do not condone immoral sexual behavior." "Fast food ought not concern them selves with social engineering. I will not be going to McDonald's anymore. Your particapation in this perverse assault on the family has to be stopped. Word of mouth can hurt your bottom line." "It is sad to see a company who has devoted it's time, energy, and money for the promotion of family values suddenly change it's position, because of one person in the organization,and do an about face to alienate the families of America and the world. Instead of being true to the many families for a few sick and disturbed people, McDonalds chooses to support the few. McDonalds will suffer in the end until you fire the anti-family value, Richard Ellis and re-establish those family values that made McDonalds what it is today." "If you are socially responsible as you claim then you could not support the homosexual agenda. We cannot allow our children or ourselves to support any company which works for the destruction of the traditional family. This is what homosexual "marriage" does to a society. We will not allow our money to support such a company or agenda." "Dear McDonald's Ireally did not know of this issue until my friend e-mailed it to me.My grand-daughters really do like your chicken mcnuggets, but I think from now on we will be taking them elsewhere,until you get this matter CLEANED up. I agree with alot of the AMERICAN people on this.How could you do this to the AMERICANS that have put you #1 on places to eat." "I'm going to miss Big Macs and frys. Good luck with your bottom line. I bet Ray Kroc is rolling over in his grave. Not what I would call honouring his memory." "I am seriously disappointed that a corporation as large as McDonald's finds it necessary to support the homosexual agenda vs. remaining neutral as requested by the majority. I will not be patronizing your restaurant any longer. Sincerely, Dana L. Fordice, TN" "I'm very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I would think without focusing on any one group that you would support the American values agenda including all people. A persons sexuality in a private matter. It is not for corporate exploitation. I'm offended that you feel it is neccesary to promote through your sponsorship a lifestyle/value system of any one group. You pretend you are for diversity but by the very act of supporting this group you are excluding all others. How hypocritical. You've lost me as a customer." "When I heard about McDonald's corporate philosphy of supporting the homosexual agenda, I was disappointed and decided not to patronize any of your stores. Now that I have an opportunity to actually sign and boycott McDonalds formally, I have chosen to do so. Since this issue arose, I have not been in a McDonalds in spite of my desire to do so--great products. But you've stated your case emphatically, and now I am stating mine with my $$$$$. Let us know when you change your mind. While I believe in the person, I cannot accept things that those persons do if they are wrong. What's next for large corporations? I shudder to think....Thank you.JANICE" "McDonalds is no longer a family friendly restaurant. Homosexuality is not conducive with traditional family values. Thus my family and all those that I have influence with will choose to eat at other restaurants." "Our parish church and family will no longer use McDonald's until such time that a retraction of McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda is ceased and published." "I eat breakfast at mcdonolds every morning but hardees will do fine now..." "Goodbye McDonalds....I'll chose other food establishments to partonize. If you can't support traditional family values...then I won't support your business." "McDonald's has been a part of my life for over 30 years. My wife's first job was at McDonald's. It is a great disappointment that McDonald's supports such a self destructive lifestyle as homosexuality. It is a known fact that those who engage in such practices are subject to std's as well as an increased mortality rate. I am sorry that I must now boycott McDonald's until they change their policy of supporting these destructive practices." "I have gone to McDonald's since I was a child. I am now a 48 year old woman who will no longer spend my money at McDonald's. I refuse to have my hard earned money spent on any kind of homosexual agenda. I am not a homophobe, which is an ignorant word to begin with, but I do believe in strong family values and will not patronize McDonald's any longer." "I have a large family and we eat at McDonalds regular but no more ,I have sent this info to all 19 family members and have asked them to spread the word also." "This is absolutely sickening to me. After all these years, all the families that have supported this company, and now you chooose to take a stand against right and support the immoral. McDonald's has soiled their own reputation. And the people who portray Ronald McDonald, do they agree with this?? You will not be getting my support in any way." "As I assume you are aware of the minority postion you hold, the majority can affect your sales, like bye bye forever, plus all the people I know!" "I will be stopping at any of the other fast food restuarants from now on instead of McDonalds. I refuse to allow my family's money to be used to support the homosexual lifestyle." "We will not be eating at McDonalds because the company has refused to stay neutral on the issue of homosexuality." "My first job was at McDonalds back in 1974, and I have been a regular patron all these years...until now. I can't believe McD's would stand away from God's laws and shift towards supporting iniquity. I will no longer support McDonalds, nor will any of my family and close friends with whom I have shared this information. This is a abhorration!" "It's been months since my family has eaten at a Mcdonalds and we will not waiver. you should NOT take a stand on this issue!" "We have three little boys who have always thought of McDonalds as a treat. Not any more! The new phrase around our house is “We don’t eat at Ick-Donalds.”" "This action to support the gay rights agenda is shocking. You are not a "family" business with your rallying behind this "anomaly" in our society. I will no longer frequent your stores, unless of course you rescind this ridiculous support of a very small portion of the population of our country. Again, I will avoid your fast food business like the plague." "No more mcd's for me and my family.I am very disappointed that you as a family oriented business would support the homosexual lifestyle. As a family, we will choose to enjoy other chains and no longer choose MaDonalds. I thought you were a family friendly company.Guess not!!" "My oldest child is almost 45 & could spot the golden arches a mile away...but I will no longer waste another cent on a company that is so anti God!! J. Robison" "I am a former employee of McDonald's and am appalled that you will not remain neutral in the culture war that the homosexuals are waging against America." "Being a great grandmother< i have long chosen McDonald's to take my children, grandchildren & great gandchildren. No longer will I patronize McDonalds in any financial form until they stop actively supporting homosexuality. I have a granddaughter who has chosen this lifestyle, and I love her; but that does not make the practice of it right in God's sight. I love the people, but I deplore the homsexuality because, as a counselor, I well know the devastating results of such a lifestyle. Aincerely Amanda Copeland Stigler, OK" "I have frequented McD's for years with children, 5 grands and myself-- and regretfully will continue not to patronize this chain as long as support for the gay marriage and agendas are supported and promoted from the corporation. The lifestyle and role model of the homosexual is something they choose to do, not who they are. Our fast food has moved to chicken. How disappointing for you to continue to make this choice!" "To McDonalds Corporation: I have spent a lot of money at your restaurants all over the USA, past & present. Because you have chosen to stick your McNOSE into this topic, I will no longer visit McDonalds. I thought you were family oriented, not political advocates of homosexuality. Very sorry to hear this news. Sincerely submitted." "My family used to eat at McDonald's every few weeks as a special treat. Now we drive past every McDonald's in favor of establishments that support our morals!" "We love eating breakfast at McDonald's. But, we will no longer eat any meals there as long as you support the homosexual agenda." "Among the several fast-food choices in our area, 90% of the time we chose to frequent McDonald's, however this will no longer be the case. Previously you represented "children" and "family". Once you decided to support a morally irresponsible agenda you entirely left the genre of your reputation. You have "chosen" to no longer represent the families of America, and as long as you take this stand, then I choose to no longer frequent your establishment." "Although McDonald's is the closest fast food outlet to us, we use Burger King or Wendy's because we don't like the way Christian Beliefes are being overlooked. Ironically, we had started going to McDonald's again, because my husband likes your salads. Now, that's stopped." "Every week our church group would go to McDonald's following services. As of now we will take our group to Wendy's or Burger King. They are just as good but our money will not be spent on YOUR agenda it will be spent on ours. There's right and there's wrong and you are wrong to spend your customers money this way. Yes it was our money and still is to some that you choose to use on this matter. God forgive you." "I am very disappointed in McDonald's, a restaurant I would have always consided family friendly, NOT gay friendly." "Like I already told you, my family and I are boycotting McDonald's because you are supporting homosexuality." "I am very disappointed in your company. In the past, you have been a support to the communities around you. Now you are tearing it all down by supporting anti-family causes. LJ Stewart" "A company like McDonalds should remain neutral on social issues. Issues like the homosexual agenda are tearing apart families and this country. Our children are being indoctrinated with anything goes lifestyles by society and the public schools, which is completely irresponsible. As a result, I will no longer support McDonalds, until the company chooses to adopt a neutral stance on social issues such as this. No more happy meals for my children." "As a Christian who firmly believes in the family as God designed it, I and my family will boycott McDonalds as a whole until or unless you reverse your support of the gay movement. Sharon Watkins" "McDonald's, are you crazy! By taking the stance of supporting the homosexual agenda, you are shooting yourself in the foot. The whole concept of McDonald's being a famil-oriented business has been destroyed, and you will see this in your "profits"." "I have always went to McDonalds I am 53 years old and remember the first time I had a burger and fries I was 7. I will never eat at McDonalds again!!!!" "We have taken our children and grandchildren to McDonald's since in the 1950's but no more. I enjoy the food but would rather support another local restaurant for our times out. Like most politicians you refuse to listen to your customers. So, lose them if that is what it takes. Robert Bostick" "I am a father of a young child, pastor in my church and, local law enforcement officer and am appalled that an institution that I have grown up patronizing has taken such a blatent stand against MAINSTREAM AMERICA. I will no longer patronize any McDonalds until such time as the company reverses their position on this issue and will encourage all of my friends, family, and church members to do the same. I'm glad that other restaurants in my area will reflect MY values and will appreciate my money. Good luck McD's. I hope you find out who has been your real bread & butter all these years." "If you want to do something positive, stand for foster children, abused women & children, recovery counseling, clean water in 3rd world countries..those are worthy causes not the gay adgenda. I suppose Chick fil a and Wendy's is another option for my money to go into." "Didn't it use to be that McDonalds was like apple pie. Now it supports the gay/anti-family lifestyle. How sad. We will go elsewhere for our fast food meals." "My family and I will no longer support your restaurant. My Grandchildren have always loved Happy Meals, guess what? Chick fil a is a FAMILY Restaurant." "I and my family has eaten at McDonalds as long as they have been open.....probably as far back as 1970s...I THOUGHT it was a family oriented restaurant..but Now I know better....gay is against family......I WILL not go there anymore...and I will let all my loved ones know about it too....sincerely disgusted....Mrs. Betty Snyder..." "We have 3 children. They are 3, 9, 10 and love McDonald's. Until you give up your support of the homosexual agenda and remain neutral, we WILL NOT eat anther meal at McDonald's!!!!!!!" "shame on you McDonalds! "We have eaten breakfast at McDonald's for over 20 years on a regular basis. We have decided now that we must boycott McDonald's because of their support of homosexual agenda. We are not against the homosexual. However, we are against the homosexual lifestyle and will no longer be supporting McDonald's as long as they support the homosexual agenda." Shame, shame, shame!" "A family restaurant, supporting the homosexual lifestyle? No more McDonald's for me or my family." "I have driven through for breakfast every morning on the way to work for 7 years. I do not want my money going to support the gay rights!" "I am disappointed in your company and will boycott it untile you reverse your support for the gay movement. I will encourage all my friends to do the same. Myron B.Banther" "I am very disappointed that you as a family oriented business would support the homosexual lifestyle. As a family, we will choose to enjoy other chains and no longer choose MaDonalds." "It's Burger King for us! How revolting that a "family" restaurant would promote the homosexual agenda. Not one more penny from our family's money will be spent at McDonalds!" "We have eaten breakfast at McDonald's for over 20 years on a regular basis. We have decided now that we must boycott McDonald's because of their support of homosexual agenda. We are not against the homosexual. However, we are against the homosexual lifestyle and will no longer be supporting McDonald's as long as they support the homosexual agenda." "I also say shame on your for supporting somhing that is immoral. I have no problem with anyone in our society but we do not need to support things like this. There are far better groups to be supporting out there - make the right choice McDs! Our fast food business will be elsewhere until you do." "I am distraught with McDonald's support of the homosexual agenda. What once was an American family tradition has become a shameful place to take a family. There are plenty of other establishments who will use their profits from my patronage to support my values." "We frequent McDonald's several times a week. Since you chose to go public and promote immoral acts I will take my business else where. This promotion is very dissappointing. I agree 100% with the previous posting!! "Being for or against homosexuality is not the greatest issue here. McDonald's should reconsider their support of any topic that is as controvercial as this one. Really, they can support whatever they please. But I am amongst millions who will reconsider frequenting a place that is in support of something in which I do not agree. It would be wise for McDonald's to reconsider."" "McDonalds, how can you ignore the pleas of the families that made you so successful? Please reconsider neutrality on sexual preference - why is a restaurant involved in THAT cause anyway? We will not eat at another McDonalds restaurant until you realign your company policy with that of the American family - my $$ will go to Chick Fil A & Wendy's! Frisco, TX" "Since McDonald's no longer cares about the values of the families they serve, we no longer care for their food and milk shakes!" "Dear Sirs: I am in disbelief at your decision to support homosexuality in our society. I find this offensive and socially irresponsible for an organization that touches so many children's lives. I will immediately stop buying any product from McDonalds and encourage others to do the same as long as you choose to do this. Steven Armstrong" "I bet you make more money from families than you do from homosexuals, you won't be making any money off of me and my family untill you turn your focus away from political battles and back toward food. You will lose > $150.00 a month from me and my family." "I am saddened by the fact that a company who previously has done a lot for children would even think of promoting such a lifestyle for our young people. I will no longer dine in McDonalds for that reason." "I have patronized McDonald's for over 30 years. I have brought my family and friends for meals innumerable times and enjoyed the restaurant. However, due to this current stance on homosexuality and lobbying in Washington D.C. for "homosexual rights and diversity", I will cease to patronize this restaurant until they retract their current stance and I will tell all my famiy and friends who hold the same moral values to do the same. PLEASE REALIZE YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELVES FINANCIALLY BY ALIENATING A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!" "This was a very hard boycott for me to sign. I had to think about it for several days first. My six year old daughter is a two time cancer survivor and we benefitted immeasurably from the Ronald McDonald House Charity. RMH was truely a lifesaver and had caused me to become a faithfull McDonald's customer. I will probably continue to give directly to that charity. However, I have decided that for the sake of my same daughter (and her brother) I will support this boycott. I am strongly against your supporting the homosexual agenda. I hope that you will reconsider." "I thought McDonald's was family friendly. Now I can see that I was wrong. I will not be bringing my kids to any McDonalds anymore. When you actually invite in things that are clearly wrong and even endorse them, you've opened a very dangerous door for your corporation. My children will not be allowed to frequent your establishments as what you've invited in are my kids predators!" "I have been a weekly McDonald's customer for over 45 years. I have taken my children and now my grandchildren to McDonalds on a weekly basis. You have lost me and my family as a customer and I will be telling others about your support of the NGLCC. I no longer consider McDonalds to be "Family Friendly"." "I am so surprised and disappointed in McDonalds. I thought you were a family friendly company, but I see now that I was wrong. You certainly try to make yourselves look like a family friendly company. Now I see that it is all a deception. You are not family friendly as long as you support homosexuals and their agenda. I know my family won't be contributing to your bottom line until you change your stance and withdraw from supporting the homosexual agenda and get all of your employees off of their committees and boards. Then MAYBE I'll consider letting you have my money again. Shame on you, McDonalds." "The choice you've made is yours, and the choice we make is ours; We will not support a business that supports immoral values." "I am saddened by your stance on alternative lifestyles. Your corporation should choose to support worthy causes, not ones that force immoral values on other people. We will not support this cause by patronizing McDonald's restaurants." "It's a shame that American Companies can not remember that this country was founded on God's law." "My daughter is employed by McDonald's. I will do everything I can to help her find a new job. This is just blantant rebellion and mocking of our loving God. We are to hate the sin and yet love the sinner, so we are not to support the agenda that this establishment is holding to. Is this one for all, or all for one or is it one gay mans agenda????" "I am sorry to hear that McDonalds has chosen to put their resources behind this controversial agenda. I will no longer give my business to you and will encourage everyone I know to do the same. If people want to live the gay lifestyle it is their own business. I won't support a company that is thumbing their nose at the people in this country who support family values. This is an issue you should Just Say NO to." "I greup with McDonalds and now have grown kids and grandkids who will not go to McDonalds because of your senseless act. Keep your business as preparing food not supporting gay and lesbian matters" "My question is WHY?? What does McD's have to gain from taking this stance?? I doubt Ray Kroc would support homosexuality! Good Luck & Good-bye!" "We have been eating at McDonalds for many years..No More! I and my fellow bus drivers, family and friends will go to other chains. I plan to tell my friends, they will tell their friends and so on.Bad for you. Good for other chains who can stay neutral on this issue..We will not support a business that supports immoral values." "We will not be eating at McDonald's anymore till you change youre stance on this immoral values this country was founded on Gods principles and you just broke every commandment. good bye to McDonalds i will not bring my 11 grandchildren their no more" "I am really disappointed in You for choosing this path you have taken. You are a big disappointment, and what you have chosen to do is both morally and spiritualy wrong, and in the long run, you will pay the price for your actions.." "My husband and I have been going to McDonald's for years but will now boycott it because of the homosexual agenda they have chosen over God, home and family. I will no longer be involved with people who insist on choosing and supporting this way of life." "Why did you drag such things as gay support into a family restaurant. As for me and my house and family, we'll not purchase another thing from McDonalds and I come from a BIG family - God's family!" "We have always thought of McDonald's as a Family place. We now know you do not support traditional Family values. You have chosen to spend some of your funds on causes that do not support the traditional family values and we now choose to spend our money at other eating establishments. Also, we will not be bringing any of our 9 grandchildren to McDonalds." "Please McDonald`s Not you such a family type restaurants!! We won`t be eating there ever!!" "How sad that you, the Officers and Management of a family oriented restaurant, where millions have taken their families for years, chooses to abandon moral family values in favor of supporting an immoral and sinful lifestyle. I pray you will rethink your position. Until then, our family will dine somewhere else." "McDonald's the Lord God in heaven will not bless your business for supporting what the Bible calls an abomination before Him. God hates the sin, but still loves the sinner. His desire is for them to repent and turn from the lust of strange flesh. Change your mind about supporting this agenda that will be the destruction of our nation." "McDonald's should not be supporting such a controversial issue." "I still don't eat at Carl' because of their ad's, will just have to add one more to the list" "How sad that you, the Officers and Management of a family oriented restaurant, where millions have taken their families for years, chooses to abandon moral family values in favor of supporting an immoral and sinful lifestyle. I pray you will rethink your position. Until then, our family will dine somewhere else." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's has chosen to follow the growing trend of catering to the minority instead of the majority. I've come to expect this in politics, but in a food establishment that was founded on and prospered because of the patronage of the American family? It doesn't make sense. My family of five will no longer be involuntarily contributing to your immoral agenda by eating at your restaurants. Please reconsider your support of the homosexual lifestyle and instead opt for a neutral position." "McDonald's I predict will no longer be a powerhouse because of the current family values they now hold. My family will boycott McDonald's." "Even though I only eat your breakfast menu, you may rest assured that will cease immediately. You people should learn to stick to the service business, and get out of politics. You will only lose when you enter your business into the cultural war." "I am very disappointed at McDonalds, as I have always been under the impression that they were family based and oriented. I will no longer be taking my family to McDonalds, for which I am sorry I can't eat there." "Shame, Shame, Shame on you McDonald's for embracing the Gay agenda. We have been coming to your restaurant for over 40 yrs...but no more. You've gone too far. I loved your sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, but Chick Filet here I come. Ron H. Marietta, GA." "Support of good causes that help people in need such as Ronald McDonald House is a noble thing, yet throwing money frivalously at NGLCC is something quite different. There are plenty of Burger places that I can take my business to that support the things that further good in this world." "It's a sad day when peoples "sex" practices set presidences for restaurant investments and endorsements!!! We will NOT be frequenting McDonalds from now on, and admonishing our whole family to follow suit! You WILL reap what you sow!" "I will actively boycott McDonalds with my family as long as you actively support this anti-family lifestyle." "McDonalds you will no longer recieve my buisness. I will make sure to let everyone i know to do the same. Burger King will be a very busy place since thats where they will end up going.Burger King does it our way!!!!!!!!" "I pray this boycott does some good. The fact they stand on this is ridiculous, they should be standing on something more meaningful! Thank God I'm a Burger King girl anyway!" "I like the Asian salad but will not be purchasing it or anything else. I will also tell all my friends and family to stop supporting McDonalds. It would have been to your benefit to stay neutral in this unbelievable discussion even." "Today is the last time me and my family will go to McDonalds until we hear that this corporation refuses to support this gay agenda I,m appauld at your position." "I am extremely dissapointed in McDonald's misguided decision to financially support the aggressive homosexual agenda in this country. I have eaten at McD's most of my life and now I am a 50-year -old grandfather. You have always presented yourself as a family-oriented restaurant and I never had any reason to doubt that until now. You have brazenly demonstrated a crass disregard for family values which you faithfully supported for most of your history. Therefore I cannot in good conscience give my hard-earned money in support of a business which obviously speaks out of both sides of its mouth and has totally lost my trust.I am no longer your customer and I will inform as many people as possible to no longer visit McDonald's or support it in any way. I'm a Christian school principal and so I will make it a point to encourage the whole school,staff,parents and students to avoid eating at McDonald's." "I've always seen McDonald's as a company about children and families. Sadly, McDonald's no longer represents the American family. I'll miss you -- but I will not give you my business." "No more McDonalds" "Shame on you. We, being my family, as Christians are in shock at how you have tarnished the McDonald's goals of being family oriented. We no longer choose your establishment for fast food. We go elsewhere, and so do so many others. Be careful, lots of businesses fold these days because they have it their way. God is in control, whether you are aware of this or not, He will have the final say so!!! I will pray for you sincerely. Sincerely, Jan Shell Isenhour & family A child of God" "Becuse of McDonalds stance on gay my family of 5 will no longer eat at McDonalds. The gay issue is harmful to society." "I am a Mother and a Grandmother. (9) I am totally confused and appalled at your obsecession with the Homosexual adgenda. As a fast food Restaurant, that caters primarily to Children, you have a RESPONSIBILITY to be a good mentor and example to them. This is not the way. Until you come to your senses, I will make sure my athletes and Grandchildren go somewhere else. My Son is a Football coach and is appalled also and has alot of say with his players. Most of my Grandchildren play sports and will be passing the word along also. You have good food we just don't like your other choices of promotions. I am still astounded that you would promote this. Thank goodness for Chic-fil-A and WENDY'S." "I'm sorry that you have to use the corporate name McConalds to support an antifamily, Biblically condemned life style when it has been familys that have kept you in business. We like your products, but we will NOT buy them anymore untill you change your position to at least neutral onthe gay situation and stop supporting them with your profits. Sorry..for you." "I'm so disappointed in Mickey D's, we will no longer stop by for any of you meals, you've lost about $60.00 a week. Shame On You People" "What a huge mistake,McDonalds. You've lost my business for sure and forever." "I have been a faithful customer of MacD's for 35 years. No more. I will not support a business that supports immoral values. I am so disappointed in McDonalds." "McDonald's have stated their opinion and now I state mine. I do not agree that your corporation should be backing homosexual issues. You choice is just that, your choice. My choice is not to enter another McDonald's as long as you choose to continue this course." "I've loved McDonald's since I was a kid. I'm 42 now with kids and even grandkids of my own however I beleive you should stand by what you beleive, therefore if McDonald's wishes to stand for this beleif then I must stand for mine. We'll go to Wendy's or Burger King.... "What goes up must come down"." "Shame on you for promoting this very controversial and, many people believe, immoral, social agenda. You should stick to preparing food. You have as much right to try to push this agenda as Congress does frying hamburgers. You may find that your decision to promote "in your face" homosexuality will come back to bite you financially. As things stand now I never plan to enter another McDonald's restaurant." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's would support something that is against the principles of God Word. It is so sad that I will take my business elsewhere." "This is really disappointing. I am truly sorry you have made such a terrible decision." "I use to be a regular at McDonald's until this. I will NEVER step foot in another McDonald's again, NEVER@!!!" "I do not agree with what you are supporting and I will not be the one to help you in your support." "I will miss McDonald's but this stand is wrong!!" "My family and I really enjoyed eating at McDonald's. However we will not be eating at McDonald's anymore unless they change to a neutral position on the support of the gay lifestyle as being healthy and normative. It is truly sad to read that the McDonald's ceo would put full resources behind the gay agenda. What a tragic situation for McDonald's to pursue a goal such as that. Why not pursue a goal of cessation of world hunger?? Your position flies in the face of all sound reason. D.Robinson SD CA" "i usually go to mcd. about 4-5 times a week. guess what i quit you. you people are sick.david freeman hartsville tenn." "Well I guess McDonalds have fallen off our list of places to take the grandkids. Chick filet is a good alternative for us." "McDonalds you might want to reconsider once the american family speaks out. We are no longer going to sit silent. I bet you have made more $$ on the families you have served vs the gays/lesbians. Time will tell so good bye to your company I will no longer be serving my family of 6 with McDonals food!" "I am ashamed of ever trusting you, McD's as a company that endorses family values. That is clearly not the case. Adam and Eve, NOT Adam and Steve. Get a clue. You have definitly gone too far in taking a stand against the American family and choosing to be politically correct instead of Biblically correct. No more McDonalds for me or my grandchildren and they will be told the exact reason why we won't be patronizing your establishment anymore!!" "Your support of the gay & lesbian agenda offends me so I will patronize other chains" "It is sad that companies such as McDonalds would stoop so low to destroy the very principles and morals founded by our founding forefather's. This country was founded on the principles of God's laws and these events will be the downfall of this great nation. No longer will I support or give money in any way to McDonald's until they decide to change their ways." "I can no longer treat my children to McDonald's!" "I'll miss those breakfast sandwiches!" "With 9 grandchildren who love to eat with you, I'll be choosing other restaurants due to stance. Change it, and I'll come back and bring my great-grandchildren, if God wills." "I do not understand why any buisness would feel that they need to support any type of organization when they do so well by themselves. Our family goes to McDonalds quite often. My family, friends and I will no longer support McDonalds." "Our family will not spend another dime at McDonalds until you reverse your position and choose not to support the gay agenda. This is a boycott." "If you insist on supporting the gay and lesbian adgenda I will buy my burgers elsewhere. Tim W. Jones Bogalusa, LA" "I will NOT support McDonald's until they support family values and stay out of morale issues...I will spread the word on their stand for anit-family values until they change corporate ways." "I feel very sad that an eating place feels that they have the need to share their wealth with just 3% of a "special population"!I believe that the money they are sharing could be put to better use on America's children on health care!" "Being for or against homosexuality is not the greatest issue here. McDonald's should reconsider their support of any topic that is as controvercial as this one. Really, they can support whatever they please. But I am amongst millions who will reconsider frequenting a place that is in support of something in which I do not agree. It would be wise for McDonald's to reconsider." "My family and I will no longer eat at McDonalds. The support of the gay agenda is going too far. I wonder what Mr Kroc would have done? He most likely would have made the right choice - follow God's law and not sway in the wind." "I hope that your gay population is as big as the family population you are sacrificing. I think you will see many of your franchises going under as a result of lost business. Walmart got a clue, you should too. Stop supporting a vile and disgraceful lifestyle. It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." "Bye! Bye! McDonalds!" "My family has been eating at McDonalds since the 1st burger was served. We will no longer support McDs in any way. It's too bad McDs chooses to support issues that are clearly anti-family!! My kids love Ronald McDonald and now he now walks with the gays and lesbians instead of the children. What a sad thing that I have to tell my kids we can't have McDs for breakfast, lunch or dinner again; until you change your decision and issue a public apology!!! Joanne G. Franklin, OH." "McDonalds was a place when I was a kid that I loved to eat!! Now I have to face the fact that I can't eat there anymore because I support the right of marriage to only a man and a woman together...at least I don't have to worry about gaining weight anymore with a Big Mac and fries on the side!!" "Why must you be involved in a moral issue? Why would a family restaurant go against the family? Well, we used to go to your restaurant several times a month but have not been there at all since this truth came out." "From the time that I first learned of McDonald's support of this disgusting lifestyle, Burger King and Hardees have been getting all of our fast food business that used to go to McDonalds. Consider this my strongest protest against your using, against my will, my money to support a cause that I would never support if I were given the choice. Shame on you, McDonalds!" "What were they thinking? Is there any WORSE time to repulse travelling families? For the first time in the last 12 years, I'm going to be vacationing this month and expect to spend about $350 on breakfasts alone -- but we WON'T be spending it at McD's. Their actions in supporting the homosexual lifestyle is about as family UNfriendly as you can get. I'm happy to say I don't have any McD stock, but if I did, it would be GONE." "No Happy meals for me and grandchildren. We go to family places." "Dear (I thought you were my) friends at McDonald's, Your ardent support of the Gay and Lesbian agenda is the support of a lifestyle that destroys lives. I am so sorry that you've taken this position... one that clearly communicates a disrespect for the traditional moral values that protect our culture from harm. Please reconsider your position. My church and family will no longer be able to support your restaurants if you are using your profits from our business to hurt us. Pastor Dave Hutchens, Baraboo, WI" "Dear McDonalds, This does not make sense. You represent too many people who believe that homosexuality is an ethical choice which destroys people and societies. To actually put money into such a cause I believe is poor moral leadership in the community and assists in the breakdown of society. This choice involves you in an ethical controversy where people of high moral standards will percieve a lack of integrity. I would hope that anytime a company as widespread and well-known as McDonald's, would always come out on the side of the highest moral values known, and never values that are questionable at least. Please reconsider and stay out if you must, but please don't promote abberant human sexual funcioning. Evan Spencer" "As long as you support policies that are immoral and tend to weaken the moral character of our beloved country, I have no choice put to withhold my support of your business. This is a very hard decision for me because you are the only resturant that makes the hamburgers I like so much,the $.85 ones. They are the best but I will now have to give them up to support something which I believe to be more important than food, the future of our country and it's moral values." "I personally started boycotting McDonald's in mid-February and have encouraged our children and grand-children to do the same. I estimate that my wife and I have given Burger King more than $600.00 in businss that would normally have gone to McDonalds." "I have for years patronized McDonald's but I'm done with that until you cease your active agressive biased support for the homosexual agenda, and for homosexual maggiage. Please stop promoting yourselves as family friendly. As a pastor I'm encouraging all those I know to go elsewhere for their burgers. In&Out Burger has a much cleaner atmosphere and image, and doesn't advertize in parades featuring strippers and drag queens and men fondling each other." "God loves us all...He hates sin, not the sinner. We all have sinned. Having said that, McDonalds Corporation needs to reconsider their position. We are a family of five, and wont be giving our business to McDonalds any longer. Hit them in the pocket book and we will see change! Shirl in SC" "If you have been appealed to, and have still chosen to line up with anti-traditional family values, then you have made my decision as well, and I will choose to not only take our business elsewhere, to show our opposition, but also to be assured that our monies will not be going to that which we strongly oppose. Please re-consider. (Pastor)Joe Kobernat" "McDonald's was built on serving the family. Looks as if its foundation has crumbled. I won't be eating there again." "I am disappointed that a business which started as a family business now cares more about what the gay and lesbian society thinks about them than what the millions of Christians who have supported you do. May God have mercy on all of you who are responsible for this action. I do not feel it is all of your organization as I know a man who owns some stores locally, but those making the decisions are making it appear that way. I will no longer go to any of your establishments." "You should remain neutral on these issues. I will not be eating at your restaurant. Thank you" "Sorry you've chosen to take such a stand & shun the family values that have always been the structure of McDonald's fan base. With our economy in the turmoil it's in I'd think you'd be more cautious about chasing valued long time customers away. I'm all for people living the way they choose. I just don't want to have someone elses values shoved in my face unless it's my choice. Sorry that you've lost another family of 5." "I am saddened by the fact that a company who previously has done a lot for children would even think of promoting such a lifestyle for our young people. I will no longer dine in McDonalds for that reason." "McDonalds' CEO has made a grave error. My family and I are extremely disappointed that what used to be a "family Oriented" place is no longer supportive of the family. "Instead it is definitely ANTI-FAMILY. It is McDonalds' loss and not ours. There is no way that I will ever accept the gay lifestyle or support any business that supports the homosexuality/Lesbism agenda. My family and I will never step foot in a McDonalds ever again and we will ask everyone that we know to do the same." "Good bye McDonalds and hello Burger King, Wendys, ect. I do not support homosexual lifestyles, and I'm so disappointed that you do. Remember what took Rome down...homosexual life styples. I pray for you to see the truth." "I do not directly give my money to support the gay agenda, and I will not do so indirectly. McDonald's will lose alot of money with my family not patronizing them." "I wasn't a big fan of McDonalds to start with because of the issue of them not proving their beef (if it is even beef) comes from America. This just adds the problem. I will never allow my childern or our family eat McDonalds again. I do NOT support gay marriage or the lifestyle. Its immoral... Wake up world, when you took GOD out of things, you knew it would come to this. You better start prayiing and put GOD back in schools and buisness or its only going to get worse!" "I will not be making my usual trip to MCD's for a coffee, cone, burger or drinks. Families not are your backbone which now has left you spineless!!" "I am dissapointed that such a large American business would willingly choose to undermine the traditional family" "Until you change your stance and remain neutral on controversial topics then I no longer support your cause.....Hello Wendy's and Burger King!!!!" "No more Iced teas or french fries for my family until McDonals changes back to neutral!" "I'm sorry that McDonald's has decided to support this group. A restaurant that supposedly was formed to serve children and families. Guess you'll be seeing less Godly Americans in your restaurant - that includes me and my family." "God created Man and women so that they could start a family. If God wants a family to consist of 1 man and 1 women, that's good enough for me. How about you? New York" "" Why can't you just say NO in supporting homosexuals? Is it because you don't want to offend them? Well, what about Christians, you are offending what we believe in. This country was founded on Biblical principles and values,stating what they are doing is wrong! I will not be eating at McDonalds."" "I am so disappointed that McDonald's is commiting itself to the Gay/Lesbians, instead of to the American family. We don't care who works there or eats there, but you should not be promoting this anti-family agenda. When the family breaks down, our whole society will crumble. We loved McDonald's when our 4 w3ere young - and now with our grandchildren and your playlands. But NO MORE. We hope you reconsider your stand." "My family of 6 is sure going to hate not having our Sausage McGriddle sandwiches and the several healthy wraps! Perhaps, Hardy's, Burger King, or someone else has something we've not tried yet? Good luck, because you're going to need it." "I've enjoyed your food, but until McDonald's changes its views on homosexual issues, I will not eat your food again. Signed E. Chapman, Moultrie, GA" "I'm greatly saddened to see you have bought into the homosexual agenda/propaganda. A company as influential as yours has a grave responsibility to promote good moral values. You have abdicated that responsibility - God help you." "I can't believe it! McDonald's? The once all American family restuarants? No more" "If McDonalds does not need the God-designed family participation, we don't need McDonalds. Our family will go elsewhere." "I choose not to provide you as a company with more of my dollars with which you are supporting an political, cultural arena that i disagree with. You have misappropriated my trust as a consumer. Guess it's not just about the chicken nuggets anymore. Signed, Waldrops" "My wife and I have three children. We will not allow any profits from our food purchases to support an offensive political agenda. Untill McDonald's stops attacking families our family will no longer eat there." "get out of the gay movement and support your troops!! who are giving up so much for this country Bettie Geertsem mother of soldier going to iraq" "I am very dissapointed in learning that your corporation is supporting the Homosexual lifestyle. My family and I will no longer support McDonalds. MB - Maryland" "I'm sure the founder of McDonalds would be very disappointed to find his intention to establish a family business has been darkened by your support of a perverted and warped lifestyle which surely points to the downfall of a society. I will no longer be supporting your business and will make as many others aware of your unfortunate decision to sponsor their agenda." "I have been a McDonalds customer all of my life and brought by kids there. I even worked at McDonalds as a teenager. I will frequent Burger King and Wendy's until McDonalds changes their position on this." "McDonalds, why did you have to go and so blatantly endorse the NGLCC? You've thrown your full weight behind an agenda that is completely out of line with the core values of American families today, and when the American public protested, you ignored us and simply "clarified" and "reclarified" your firm position with the gay agenda. I love your food - especially your desserts (M&M McFlurry is my fave), but due to your decision to support the NGLCC and the gay agenda, you have forced me and my family to cease any and all consumption of your food. I'm so dissappointed that you made this poor decision." "My middle child keeps saying that he wants to go to McDonald's again. Unfortunately, we have to keep telling him that we cannot go because McDonald's is doing some things that they should not be doing until they change(i.e. supporting the homesexual agenda and lifestyle)" "I wish Ms. Harris understood diversity as we do and it's bad manners and business to bite the hand that feeds you. Mr. Ellis I pray can come to a more mutual conclusion on this matter, his agenda is not for business purposes but it exactly what I said "his agenda", its a personal matter. There are much better ways to spend your time, money and energy than forcing a slew of McDonald's lifetime faithfulls to to find contentment elsewhere. I'm sorry but your business is just not good enough for my loved ones any longer. P.S. No matter what your statistics say, this will not blow over, over night and you will no longer be a household name." "I am appalled by this decision. McDonald's, in the past, has been very family friendly, but has now shown by this decision, supporting those who choose to participate in licentious acts, that you have another agenda. It would have been better if you had chosen to remain neutral. Our family will now choose not to patronize your establishments. Also, I have and will continue to pass this on to everyone I know. What a loss to our community. My hope is that you will see that this is not an issue that a “family oriented” company should support, and that you will choose more wholesome organizations to participate in. Debbie N." "I am the director of a county wide conservative organization in Contra Costa County, CA. Our next newsletter will contain the information regarding your support for the NGLT agenda which our members understand is overtly anti-family and anti-child (in spite of the redefining NGLT puts on it all). You can count on THOUSANDS just in our county joining in on the boycott." "Unfortunately, I cannot and will not support McDonalds as long as they continue to support the gay and lesibian agenda. I do not believe that a company such as yours should be taking a stand you should remain neutral. No business from me or my family and friends!!" "I love McDonalds. I would have never though McDonalds as a corp would go towards diversity which isn't even diversity. It's this choice or that choice. Which is what choice McDonald's is choosing to stand by. Now it is my choice to not ever go back to McDonalds again. I did so enjoy your product. I hope losing my support and those who disagree with your choice was worth the 20,000 dollars spent to support the gay agenda. I will miss my meals at McDonalds and my big ole sweet tea. Farewell McDonalds." "I stop at the Ortonville McDonalds every single day at lunch time and for breakfast coffee. I will not be stopping again during the boycott and will tell my friends." "Due to McDonald's very unfortunate and ill-advised decision to advance Richard Ellis' homosexual agenda and openly and generously support the very small but very vocal and active homosexual minority of the American population, a decision which reflects opposition to the values and beliefs of the vast majority of the American populace, most especially the committment to traditional heterosexual marriage and family values, I will no longer be supporting McDonalds with my patronage, I will be encouraging my family, friends, and fellow church members to take the same action, and to continue this action until McDonalds comes to its senses and reverses course in this very important issue. Sexual immorality is nothing that a corporation which has grown large on profits from catering to families should ever be seen as endorsing or supporting in any way. Wake up and smell the coffee, McDonalds!" "I am very disappointed in your decision to support the Gay Agenda. When our twins were born we stayed in a Ronald McDonald House while they were being cared for. We were very thankful for that. You really helped our family. Your recent decision, however; makes me wonder if you're decisions are based more upon political gain than on family values. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance we say "one nation under God." God never supported homosexuality. I believe the Bible to be God's written message to us. There is not one place in it where it says that homosexuality is acceptable in God's sight. In fact, it is quite the opposite. I do not hate homosexuals. My uncle was gay. It is a sin like any other. No one is without sin. But, the difference is I do not go around telling people that it is o.k. to steal, or cheat, or lie, etc. It is my hope that you will reconsider what you are promoting. In the meantime, we will not frequent your establishment." "I grew up going to McDonald's and enjoyed their food and the family atmosphere. I will not frequent their doors again. I will also relay to my friends, co-workers and family their current involvement with the Homosexual agenda. Wake up, McDonald's! Go back to the family atmosphere." "What a sad day! My family and I will no longer support McDonald's due to your homosexual agenda. What a pity!! You have the best french fries ever. Ray and Joan Kroc must be turning over in their graves." "I am so disappointed that McDonalds is doing this. I've always felt that McDonalds supports family (a real family, with a father and a mother - with a male and a female). It's a real shame they would support homosexuality. I can't support someone who goes against what I believe and also against God." "My family of seven will no longer be eating at McDonalds. If you're going to support the gay agenda, we will not give you our hard earned money. We will eat at Chick-fil-A instead!" "Due to your blatant support of the homosexual lifestyle I will be forced to no longer dine in your restaurants." "I will no longer support McDonalds's by eating there. This very disappointing, a family can no longer be protected from the lifestyle fo these people that want us to accept their homosexuality/Lebism. What in God's name has happened to my America that my ancestors fought and died for." ""I used to be a frequent customer of McDonald's, but seeing how the restaurant chain has decided to join forces against the family and the truth about the human person as revealed in the natural law and by God in His Church, I am no longer a customer and will go 'spread it from the rooftops' to boycot this no longer family-friendly restaurant. There are more family-friendly restaurants I will patronize, such as one in particular that sells chickens and knows which side of the fence to stand on." "MdDonald's has made a grave error. I have been a loyal customer of McDonald's for years. When I travel on business it was my favorite stop. I will develop a taste for Burger King and others who have not chosen to support the homosexual agenda. Signed, Deacon Bob McC. Jenison, MI" "I must say this move doesn't surprise me, though I am very disappointed. We have occasionally eaten there with our kids on outings, now we will have no other choice but to choose another place to patronize. I pray God will allow McDonald's to feel the pinch and bring them to there senses. This company was founded on selling good food not political issues and it's a sad day when they feel they need to support something that in and of itself is destructive to all who choose this way of life." "My family and I will no longer support McDonalds. Our founding fathers would turn over in their graves is they could see America today!" "I wonder if the stockholders are aware of McDonald's misguided entry into the cultural war. Regardless of their personal convictions, it makes no sense as a corporation to make this move. I think that if some stockholder would propose a resolution to stop this nonesense it would be end immediately." "I am extremely disappointed that what used to be a "family oriented" place is no longer supportive of the family. It is definitely McDonalds' loss and not ours." "I am extremely disappointed that what used to be a "family oriented" place is no longer supportive of the family. It is definitely McDonalds' loss and not ours." "My husband and I have already stopped eating at McDonald's. We have been eating at Burger King and Wendy's instead, and will not return to McDonald's until they return to traditional family values and release their support for the homosexual agenda." "My children love McDonalds. Hearing this has really made me disappointed we will no longer be eating at your restuarants. Why couldn't you have just stayed neutral." ""I will be glad to support this boycott. You are standing on dangerous ground with God. The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is an abomination. There is no issue." My 15 year old daughter used to eat at McDonald's quite frequent (she loved the Ranch Crispy Chicken Wrap and Sweetened Iced Tea), but decided, on her own, not to support McDonald's due to their support of homosexuals. She now patronizes Burger King with their Iced Coffee." "I was headed out to breakfast this morning which is normally McDonald's. My heart became saddened to realize just how perverted our business institutions are becoming. I think it's sad to see an icon like McDonald's making corporate decisions to advance the NGLCC. I went home and made my own breakfast. For now on, I will be eating my breakfast somewhere else." "My children love McDonalds. Hearing this has really made me disappointed we will no longer be eating at your restuarants. Why couldn't you have just stayed neutral." "McDonald's owners seem to be heavily invested in the homosexual lifestyle as part of their own lifestyle. So naturally it follows that this is personal for them and money is not as important. I think it would be monumental to change their minds by boycott but I will never the less give it a go for other companies that are watching," "This SAD choice by McDonald's reflects very poorly on their support for traditional family morals and values. We will NOT support this business until they get their act together. McDonalds is way out of touch with mainstream America and unfortunately it will take hitting their bottom line profit margins to help them realize this fact." "I used to eat at McDonalds, my kids grew up eating there, no more for me and my kids are grown now and I hope they will make the same decision as they were raised to believe homosexuals and lesbians are wrong and against all God teaches in His Bible." "In the past, McDonald's has seemed to support the values that are the core of the American family. My family and I have eaten at McDonald's mostly because the children enjoyed the atmosphere. However, the atmosphere is changing and will no longer be appropriate for my children. Jesus said it would be better for a millstone to be hung around a person's neck and thrown into the sea than to hurt a child. McDonald's is hurting children rather than helping them by making this sorrowful decision to sit on the NGLCC. Our family will no longer enter the doors of McDonald's until you repent of your decision and promote healthy families with other than your "healthy choices menu." God bless the USA and our efforts to remain "one nation under God."" "McDonald's has seen the last of our money. We have not purchased food from them for over two years. Now our coffee and shakes will be from others. I have done extensive research on their food in the past. No thanks! Our money will not support their views." "McDonald's and it's "decision makers" cannot possibly be a part of a productive American society by supportnig gays/lesbians. This "lifestyle" is ripping apart the very fabric of American family society." "I am so disappointed in the stand McDonald's has taken in supporting the homosexual agenda. As long as you continue to support a group this group, my family will no longer patronize McDonald's."" "I will no longer go to McDonald's because of who they are supporting." "It is unfortunate that McDonald's will not stay neutral on this issue. We will not patronize McDonald's." "Ithought of McDonald as a family food place to eat,I no longer feel this way. I WILL NOT EAT THERE AGAIN!" "This country has gone to the dogs. How can McDonald's which is supposed to be family oriented support the Gay Agenda? Does anyone have the guts to say Homosexuality/Lesbism is wrong? My family and myself will no longer support McDonalds until they come to their senses and stop supporting what is wrong...Homosexuality/Lesbism." "It is very disturbing that McDonald's has chosen to turn it's back on family values. It will be upsetting for many families to explain why McDonald's is no longer an option when choosing a place to eat, have a party or a treat. I know it will for me. My grandchildren love to go to McDonald's to eat & play. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PRIORITIES, McDonale's." "My family travels a lot for sporting events. Running through the drive-thru at McDonalds became something that was normal. We don't feel asking you to reamain neutral was too much. We thought you were in the business of selling food. Not a lifestyle. We are truly disappointed in your decision and will no longer be eating at any McDonalds." "I am so disappointed. Of all the wonderful opportunities that McDonald's has to make a positive difference in the world, they choose a stand that does just the opposite. Shame on them! I will tell everyone I can about this." "I'm sorry your company has decided to support immoral activity. My family will no longer support your company. John Lexington , Ky." "I am so disappointed in the stand McDonald's has taken to support the GAY agenda. As long as you continue to support a group that is ANTI-family, I will no longer patronize McDonald's." "I am so disappointed in the stand McDonald's has taken to support the GAY agenda. As long as you continue to support a group that is ANTI-family, I will no longer patronize McDonald's." "It's hard to believe that such a successful business as McDonald's could be so foolish and support such a perverted group of people.Homosexuals are not hated,just wrong!" "I think you should exercise your right to support the GAY agenda if you want to . . . I really do. And I will exercise my right to eat where I want to and not eat where I don't want to." "I have eaten at McDonalds since there was only one of them. No longer." "We are so disappointed! So much for your family emphasis. Supporting homosexuality is ANTI- Family. History and valid research has shown that children need the traditional family structure of a father and a mother. We have 4 children who grew up eating at McDonald's...no more! We are administrators at our large local public school; we will strongly encourage this boycott of your restaurant. Hope it's worth it to you to sacrifice the vast majority of your customers for the 3% of the population who choose an unhealthy sexual lifestyle." "I am disgusted with the position McDonald's has taken in support of the homosexual agenda. My family and I have been boycotting McDonald's since we first heard about their position and we will continue the boycott since McDonald's reitterated their position. My hope is that more moral people and families support the boycott and like Ford, McDonald's feels a tight squeeze on profits and begins to rethink its position." "As a grandmother who frequents McDonald's I am disappointed that the company will not change their policy regarding the gay agenda. I will not take my grandchildren there again." "I will be glad to support this boycott. You are standing on dangerous ground with God. the Bible clearly tells us that homosexuality is a horrible sin. There is no issue." "Why are you involving yourselves in a political position, especially one that goes against the vast majority of Americans? We the people decide what kind of society we want, not you the corporation! Our McDonalds days are over." "Are you people crazy? or just sick. i've eaten my last meal at Mc Donalds!!!!" "The news of your support of the NGLCC is so disappointing to me. My family went to McDonalds for years and now my wife and I take our grandkids there to eat and play. Those days are over. I can no longer spend my money at your establishment and will be a strong advocate against family and friends using McDonalds." "I am very disappointed in McDonalds. It has always been a fun place for my children and now Grandchildren. But with this stance they have taken, we as a family can not and will not support them with our patronage. It is sad because it will affect a lot of our young peoples job." "I am ashamed of myself for buying an ice cream cone yesterday...had I been aware of this issue I would not have done so. I will no longer support McDonalds. I will pass the word along to friends and family who might not be aware of this. Of allllll things..!!!" "This is disgusting! NO MORE MCDONALDS!!" "My family and i will no longer be having big macs or shakes or Mcchickens.. This is not right and you should stay neutral.. Instead of being "POLITICALLY CORRECT". With the economy the way it is right now, you may just lose too much money and close a couple of your stores... You may want to rethink your position.. We may be a small community of people, but we have mouths, and rights as Americans.. Choose wisely.. Brandi, Texas" "I am so sorry I cannot in good conscience bring my grandchilden ans great grandchildren to McDonalds anymore-there's 80 of them. Why are you supporting such an organization that just brings tragedy to our people and society?" "I spent many dollars at McDonalds while my children were at home. Now I have grandchildren who also love McDonalds. Because of your position and support of the gay agenda, I will be teaching them that Burger King is better. God tell us in his Word to love the sinner, but to hate the sin. I do not believe your actions demonstrate that you either read or heed God's Word." "Not surprised...so many are jumping on the "diversity" band wagon. But we can't be silent anymore. Thank goodness for the AFA - they make it so easy for us to join together with one voice to stand up to sin and evil. I don't eat McDonalds but will definately be encouraging friends and family to boycott." "My family stopped eating at McDonald's as soon as I heard about this issue. I'm glad I did, now knowing that McDonald's has reitterated their immoral stand. We have already found alternatives and will have no problem sticking to the boycott until McDonalds changes their stand! Someone in the leadership of your company other than one openly gay leader with his own agenda should think long and hard about what this boycott will do to McDonalds and change your stand!" "Dear Owners of McDonald. We are so disappointed in you. I have seven grown children and fourteen grandchildren.We no longer will support McDonald's until they will make better decisions whom they support. My grandchildren are very disappointed, but my children nor I will give our monies to support a life style that is not normal and against our believes." "As a longtime stockholder, mother of six and loyal supporter of McDonalds, I am disturbed by the corporate decision to advertise and support such a controversial issue. THIS IS A FAMILY RESTAURANT. I WILL NO LONGER take my children or grandchildren to McDonalds as long as the practice of supporting the gay and lesbian agenda is in place. This business has NO business being in THAT business!!!!!! Stockholder: Phyllis Templeton Trust" "For the record, God opposes all fornication and that includes promiscuous heterosexuals as well. The Bible tells us that "No whoremonger...hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God" (Ephesians 5:5). Very important. I'm sorry, McDonalds. I will have to boycott you now because you are supporting a lifestyle destructive to my family and this country. The money I would have spent on you, I will now give to companies who understand and appreciate the values that built America, not the ones bringing it down. My prayers are for you. Thank you." "Will boycott McDonalds until they clean up their act and will encourage all friends to do the same. Memphis, TN" "I will not be eating at McDonald's anymore!" "This is a very unfortunate decision for McDonald's and for us. Like all American's McDonald's has been a part of life but not anymore. I am proud to stand with the rest of you on this issue. My husband and I will no longer give our money to support a cause that opposes the traditional marriage of a man and woman. May God be with us. Christians, continue to be in fervent prayer for our lost neighbors who have not known the gift of salvation from God. They are as lost as we once were and God still values their lives!" "Since I heard first heard of McDonald's supporting the homosexual lifestyle about three months ago, my family and I have been boycotting. We will continue to do so. So far it has saved me a lot of money plus I can eat at other places such as Wendy's, Chick Filet, and Burger King. Please understand that as a Christian I cannot support the homosexual lifestyle. I work too hard for my money to pour it into something that is so destructive to children, families, and our nation. I thought the American Christian family is what McDonald's was all about. I have been proven wrong. I really have a hard time believing that you would choose to support such a perverted lifestyle. God loves homosexuals, but he hates that sin. I feel that eventually this will do your business in. I am passing this along to everyone I know." "I've eaten double cheeses for as long as I can remember, I'm almost 50 but I can change. I've already gone to Hardees for real suppertime burgers; guess what, I can go for my lunch also. No more MickeyDee's tea(and this is the South)but my wallet can take it. Convience??? Got one on each corner. Guess I'll turn right(no pun intended) instead of left on my next lunch run. How sad. It's not the sinner but it is the not turning from the sin." "I have never been one to engage my family in heated political issues. However, some American corporations are forcing my family to take a stand. Why must we support homosexuality when all we want is to eat at your restaurant? Why rush to support any organizations beliefs? Why not just sell hamburgers? By taking this stand, McDonalds has forced us to line up against you by joining a movement we want no part of but must because McDonalds has struck at the heart of our family values. So long. Ralph Jones, Tulsa, OK" "McDonald's has always been a favorite of my friends and I just to hang out. Not any more! Knowing this takes the fun out of it. So for now my friends and I will not be at McDonalds!" "I will drive up to the order window & vioce my reason for not ordering any food. McDonalds should re-McThink their posistion!" "I will not support any organization that has lined themselves up with the anti-family crowd." "I took my grandchildren to eat at Chik-fil-a's yesterday because of your stupid decision. We will be dining everywhere but at your tainted golden arches. Clean up your act and appolizes to all the children you have hurt. God is watching." "Congratulations on you suicide. Why on earth would a food company choose to support such an issue? If you were a condom company, maybe I could see it." "They actually leave me no choice but to not eat at Mc Donalds until this changes because I teach my children that Homosexuallity is a sin and now that McDonalds is supporting them I will tell my children that Ronald McDonald is not the man he used to be. Please change this for the sake of the American Christian children." "This could very well be the end of your business." "I eat at McDonald's several times a week and in fact, just had breakfast there this morning. But I will boycott McDonald's until your company changes its policy to support homosexuality. In my opinion your company lacks integrity. It seems to me that your company started to support the gay agenda just since they have increased in numbers. Well, I hope there's enough of them to keep you in business because I will do my part to circulate this information to people who DO have integrity. Hopefully, this will be the biggest boycott that American has ever seen." "As a pastor I will encourage my congregation not to be eating there anymore. You are supporting that which the Bible says is sin. If you can support this lifestyle we don't need to support McDonald's. We will be praying for you." "I have four kids and they all grew up on McDonald's. I've spent tons of money at your resturants. Even after they are grown we still frequent them a couple of times a week. Now all four of them have families. Not only am I not going to eat there anymore, neither are my kids and their families, but I have emailed this link to 20 so far. I have several more friends that will jump on board the boycott and am encouraging them to do so. You people seem to forget the impact of the conservative quiet Christian majority. Get ready we have had all we are going to take." "I hope the right people read this feedback. We (my family of 4 and friends) love to hop in the car spontaneously and go for a dipped cone occasionally. Also, the kids' meals are a favorite, esp. when a new toy comes out. Please reconsider your support of the anti-family agenda. We won't be able to enjoy McDonald's until then. Sincerely, Lynn M." "We have always taken our kids to McDonalds as kids and adults... and we will boycott McDonalds from now on unless they change their minds... supporting NGLCC doesn't say much for your "Family" values for your "family friendly resturant" My family won't be supporting your resturant anymore!" "No more McDonald's for myself or my family!!!! Not until this issue is resolved!!!" "will go out of my way rather than support McDonalds. Good Bye" "No longer will we patronize McDonald's in light of their stand promoting anti-family values of homosexuality. There are many on my mailing list who will do the same." "I am sorry you chose not to take the high road in this issue. You know it takes a lot more courage to do the right thing when it doesn't seem to be political correct. You will someday have to answer for the choice you have made. Not to man, but to God. You can still change your mind and decided not to support NGLLC...the choices you make today, determine the choices you can make tomorrow." "Thanks for giving me another reason not to eat at McDonalds. If you will recall it was on the news that McDonald claimed the U.S. did not provide enough beef so they are buying their beef where there is no USDA....." "This will save my family lots of money.Bye Bye McDonalds." "I agree corporations should be socially responsible and use their weight to do so but who decided the homosexual lifestyle was socially responsible (3% of the population)? It would be nice if a corporation that is aimed at children and families actually supported what is best for their customers. The family, traditional marriage and mom's and dad's in the household is what our children need and they need companies like McDonald's to support these traditions! Read the studies and make an informed decision based on what is right not on what appears to be profitable!" "Just as McDonald's has chosen to "aggressively promote the issues they approve," my family also chooses to aggressively promote the issues God approves! Since God created Eve for Adam and commanded in Gen. 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh," we will always support the relationship of "one man with one woman for one life" no matter how politically incorrect some may call us! Let's support Godly morals, America's Christian heritage, and the best interest of humanity by continuing to stand firm on the foundation of God's Word. Only when we obey God's commands can we be blessed." "McDonald's has always been a family restaurant, with advertising appealing to children and prices appealing to budgets, but they have crossed over to an anti-family position. If their basic corporate philosophy is so uncaring and unwise, I'll not trust subsequent "bottom line" decisions handed down from their corrupt corporate HQ. I will forward this to everyone I can and will urge them to not patronize McAnti-Family anymore." "We will no longer be enjoying McDonald's until the policy for your support of the America-degrading homosexual lifestyle changes. Are you no longer pro-family? Families are your mainstay, I would think. YOur current stance impacts the American family in a very negative way. (I'll miss those egg McMuffins)." "I have always associated McDonalds with families and children and good fast food. Your happy meals, play area and just the atmosphere have brought many a smile to people. I enjoy breakfast there with my daughter on special occasions. I am saddened by your blatant promotion, investment and aggresive pursuit of values/lifestyles that are anti-family at the core. We will happily choose another place for our fast food and smiles!" "I can't even begin to calculate the huge sums of money my family has spent over the years at McDONALD'S.NO MORE! I have nearly 100 people on my email list that I will relay this message to and ask them to refrain from doing business with McDONALD'S. Remember what happened to Kmart? The Christians of this country help send it down the tubes because of the company's pornography book policy. We can do the same to McDONALD'S if they continue on the path they have chosen." "Yet again, being afraid to stand up for what's right, this company has to support exactly what others do to show they have 'compassion' for the 'less fortunate, picked on groups'. I will not eat anything from McDonald's!!" "Mcdonalds has always been the American way. Homosexual marriages are not and to be supportive in any way is not the American way. I have always loved McDonald's breakfasts and chicken wrap sandwiches but I will not longer enjoy them unless McDonald's decides to be neutral in this stand for supporting the homosexual marriage agenda." "Why do you want to offend so many of your customers to satisfy a few? Your establishment is supposed to be family oriented, not cater to a selected few." "My children love McDonalds but I simply cannot take them to a place that contradicts what we value or interferes with what WE, as parents, feel is important in teaching them. You have lost our business as well as many others. We come from a large group of family & friends with lots of children that will no longer be participating in your establisment. Making the decision to support immoral activities will end up costing you your business. You should have stuck to supporting children being that they make up the majority of your profits. Or atleast their parents do." "I refuse to eat at any McDonald's until McDonald's retracts its position to support homosexuality" "If the CEO of McDonalds is for the Homosexual Agenda, then he is against America and God..."One Nation, Under God."" "I will no longer support McDonald's as long as they continue to endorse and encourage the Homosexual, Lesbian, bisexual, and transgender agenda of our country or any other country." "Well to be fair every religious organization should be given $20,000.00 right? Well no more mickey d's for the kids until Mcdonalds changes its stinking thinking." "My wife and I travel a lot and we usually stop at McD's for coffee or a quick burger and to use your restroom facilities, but upon learning of your strong leanings and support of the radical homosexual agenda, we will not longer be stopping at McDonalds. I pastor a small church and I will try to influence as many of our adherents, as possible, to quit going to your place of business." "Since I found out McDonald's supports homosexual lifestyles, McDonald's will no longer get my business." "What a shame! Our family will NOT be going to McDonald's ever again unless McDonald's stops supporting the homosexual lifestyle!!!!" "I don't return to companies with their values askew. Among others, we haven't been to a baseball game since they were on strike. The problem with this particular agenda is about not intruding publically in the lives of people around you. Everyone will face God with their choices." "I guess we will no longer be enjoying McDonald's until the policy for your support of the homosexual lifestyle changes. Please reconsider your actions." "Yes, our two girls always like McDonalds and I would stop on the road for their breakfast and coffee, but no more, there are alternatives on every other corner. Our grandchild will not be raised supporting companies that support the Homosexual Agenda." "How Sad!! The All-American restaurant has thrown out it's values for the support of anti-family agenda." "I take my grand kids to eat at Mcdonalds all the time, but now I will know longer take anyone to eat there. What a shame you have picked guys over all the other regular customers. Your loss." "I will not eat at your establishments until you remove your endorsements of the NGLCC and involvement with them as well." "since I became aware of McDonald's supporting the homosexual life style I have not been taken my family to McDonald. I am quite out spoken about it and convince everyone I can not to patronage McDonald's. I am very good at what I do when I am passionate about a cause. I can't think of a better cause. Remove your sponsorship of this intrinsic and morally wrong life style and I will return. Also, please read "Theology of the Body" by Pope John Paul II to understand why so many know this life style is sinful." "Homosexuality is a Sin and abomination to God, the Bible states that in Romans 1:24-28; what a shame to see an eating establishment such as McDonald's support the gay agenda, believe me I will not eat at McDonald's until they no longer support the gay agenda." "I will no longer patronize McDonalds because of their support of the Gay and Lesbian Agenda. It is wrong to support a particular segment of society with dollars and politcal pull. Sexual preference does not set apart human beings as a race or religion. You must stop this revolt of American and family values and get back to doing what you do best. Serving good healthy food at reasonable prices. God help you in the days to come as you reevaluate your place in the business world." "You can bet the farm that my husband and I will not spend another red cent at McDonalds for us or our three kids until they publicly remove themselves from this controversial agenda. And this email is going to every single person I know, most of whom have kids." "What's happening to America? The wholesome and moral, God honoring people need to stand up before its too late! God has given me four children to raise, and unfortunately I cannot in good conscience take them to a place that supports the homosexual lifestyle. Homosexuals believe a lie that I want my children far away from. We visited McDonald's at least once a week, but won't be going there again due to their agenda. I will be encouraging my friends and family to do the same." "My family stopped at the Mac off I-75 near Tifton, Ga. on Sat. 7/5/08. That will be the last visit. JH" "Why does McDonald's insist on supporting the homosexual life style that has been scientifically proven to be dangerous?" "I am very disappointed in McDonalds and I have eaten there regularly in the past but NO more. I will spend my money at Burger King in the future. Ted Talley" "Goodbye Mickey D's. All the promotions in the world won't get me to compromise my beliefs. You have some nerve trying to cram this lifestyle down peoples throat. OOps." "Although we live in a small town and not a lot of fast food choices, my husband and I will not longer eat McDonalds. Taco John's and Arbys will get our business." "I will not be eating at McDonalds again. You choose political correctness over family values, and I choose any other restaurant over you." "What a shame that $20,000 donation wasn't put to MUCH better use! bye bye MickeyD!" "Chick-fil-a may not make burgers but they have not compromised their values and will get all the money we used to spend at McD's" "An old time food stop will not be endorsed by me for compromising family and promiscuous life styles. Shame on you." "McDonald's open and enthusiastic support of the HOMOsexual agenda is a tragic and strategic mistake. Standing neutral, as is the history of your Company, would have been wiser. I will never spend another dime at your restaurants until this policy changes. Allen, Bossier City, La." "I am confused as to why McDonald's believes that as a corporation it feels it necessary to support an agenda that is morally wrong in the eyes of God and the majority of people on the face of this earth. If individuals wish to support this agenda that is their right, however, they will held accountable for that position. It is another thing all together to force an entire corporation to take such a stance. Please consider what you are doing. Until this issue is address I will not eat at McDonald's again." "When we travel with a group of young people we used to stop at McDonald's quiet often, no longer will we be eating there, unless the gay rights support from McDonald's is ended. Deborah" "Money is the most powerful way to show support or distain...They will not get my money again!" "McDonalds must have not been paying attention when WalMart and Ford both supported Homosexual groups and then watched their sales head south, forcing them to recant their ideas. Well, it looks like the days of my patronage are over. BK, Taco Bell, KFC... here I come." "I WILL NOT support McDonald's as long as McDonald's supports same sex marriage. This is an activist agenda, not corporate business. Should remain neutral." "Unbelievable! I patronize McD's at least 3 times a week, and I also take my grandsons there frequently. However, no more ! There are many choices available, and I can assure you that they will be getting my business. You have linked your company's success to an evil agenda and you may have underestimated those of us out here who still hold traditional Christian values." "You know, I've known for a long time that the customer service at McDonalds has been poor for some time now (at least the establishments in my community) but now that I know where they stand on this issue, I'm absolutely disappointed and discusted that a resterant that prides itself on being all about kids would support such a sinful lifestyle. McDonalds is one of my childrens favorite spots to eat, however, after discovering this is may soon be Burger King!!!" "Our family of five is choosing to boycott McDonald's. We had appreciated the prices and family atmosphere, however, we cannot allow our money to be spent on causes which we believe are detrimental to not only the family but America as a whole. Please rethink your decision to support NGLCC. Thank you." "A company that serves people of all walks of life should not focus on one group for its employees personal game using (our) money." "I have never been a fan of mcDonald's this only reinforces my stand against them." "I haven't been in one of your establishments since learning of your dicision. Nor will I ever again." "IT IS SAD, that in this day an age...that people are no longer standing up for what is morally right. As a Christian we must learn to stand together...stand up for what WE believe in, like the Gays and Lesbians do. Thats why they have been able to change the laws and our there rights...BECAUSE THEY STAND UP...when we start to do the same? I will no longer support or eat at any thing Mcdonalds has to offer again." "McDonalds does not need to be involved in this - stay neutral" "Shame! Shame! Shame! Sunday July 6, 2008 was the last McDonald’s meal we will eat until McDonald’s changes its policy. We will be boycotting McDonald’s not because we hate gays and lesbians, but because we believe you should not show open support for such a controversial lifestyle. We in no way support that lifestyle and will not support companies who do. We don't want our children and grandchildren getting the wrong message. When our children were very young, the big treat of the week was to get to have lunch at McDonald's after Church. We thought very highly of McDonald's as a family place to go. It is time Christians stood up for what is right. We are standing tall. We hope you will reconsider." "McDonalds needs to stand for more than homosexuality. If McDonald's is to survive as a favorite American fast food chain, then they need to embrace the values of who America is. We are not a homoexual nation! McDonalds will NOT have my business until this is changed!" "A family restaurant for years sure doesn't represent family when you can't stay neutral about gays. Shame on you. Other true family restaurants sure will be better choices than YOU!" ""McDONALD'S, Was our kinda place, It's NOW A BIG DIS-GRACE"!!!!" "Wow! My kids love Mickey D's, but we will no longer be purchasing food from you. It's interesting how the gay and lesbian community doesn't seem to want Christian values shoved in their face, yet at every turn, we, Christians are having the gay and lesbian lifestyle shoved in ours. Enjoy your choice. My family will enjoy other fast food places." "I am so disappointed in McDonalds. I thought you were a family oriented business but I can see now you have no morals or values. My family is boycotting McDonalds from now on. Bye-Bye Ronald McDondald!" "I am so disappointed in McDonald's for deciding to support the gay agenda while calling itself a "family restaurant". My family and I will no longer eat there. Please reconsider your decision to support the homosexual lifestyle." "Change your stand or don't change....I'M GOING ELSEWHERE!!! I hope the MacDonald name will become a thing of the past. And oh yes...I'm selling my shares in Macdonalds!! Yahoo!!! Subway & BK...here we come!!" "Please search for TRUTH and LIVE it." "I've been a frequent customer of McDonald's for decades. However, they have gone upside down, saying they are being "socially responsible" by supporting socially irresponsible, high rish, anti-family behaviors and lifestyles. Very sorry this day has come, but even though McDonald's represents the best value in fast food, there are more important things than saving a few dollars on a delicious meal. Joining the boycott..." "We are choosing to boycott Mcdonalds b/c of the support to the homosexual agenda. As a christian I would never ask mcdonalds to support or give to the christian coalition or some other christian organization so why give to the other side." "I will not bring my family back to McDonald's as long as the company is taking this stand in favor of destroying the traditional family with gay rights propaganda." "We agree with AFA's action re McDonald's. Until America returns to First Principles found in its Judeo-Christian Foundation, our country's future is in jeopardy. We have eight grandchildren who need our help NOW to see to it that their futures are protected. Thank you, AFA, for your abiding faithfulness!" "I am a mother and grandmother - i will not take my kids to McDonalds agian -- u have lost a long time customer.. we still have B.K,WENDY'S, JACK,TACO BELL, D.Q. PLENTY of other places that sell burgersssss" ""I truly love taking my grandchildren to McDonalds, but I will never go back until changes are made. Read your Bible to see where this is wrong...those in control will be punished if it continues." "I respect each individual's right to make choices governing their lives, even when those choices affect their spirits negatively. I respect a corporation's right to make business choices supporting a lifestyle which is detrimental. I know you'll respect my choice not to bring my 5 children to your restaurants for our special family nights out any longer. We bid you adieu." "I will not support McDonalds any longer and will not take my 4 daughters... who love McDonalds... there any more!" "It's sad that McDonald's is throwing their support to the Gay Agenda. I for one will no longer patronize McDonald's. I was really enjoying their new salads and coffee drinks and taking my granddaughter there for lunch. Que Sera, sera. Adios Micky D's and Hello Tim Horton's!" "My whole family will no longer eat at McDonalds nor will I take my RE?MAX clients to eat there as they support the gay and lesbian homosexual agenda. Fine to hire them but not use your "influence" to promote or to condemn their agenda or practices." "My child and myself love McDonald's but we are Christians and we will not be back at any McDonald's until they find their God given family values !!!!!" "What a shame, no one would have believed that such a family oriented restaurant would go against every family value and not blink an eye. We will definately not support them and will tell everyone we know to boycott them as well." "Dear McDonalds, I have been a long time customer. Your company seems to be family based but that is changing. It is not that Christ does not love these homosexual men and women but their lifestyle decays our family's. These are the same families that buy your product and support your "AMERICAN DREAM"! I would rather that money go to Ronald McDonald House." "I will not feel the same about the "golden arches". To know that any monies spent there is to help promote more bad influences in the world today makes me lose my appetite. Hmmmm- I always likes the WHOPPER anyways." "McDonald's should fear God and stop supporting Homosexial's agenda. Be wise. As long as McDonald's supports the homosexual agenda, we will not eat at McDonald's and we will also let others know what McDonald's really stands for. The Huysmans, Austin, Texas" "This is a shame that a family oriented business would take such a drastic step as to become involved in supporting such a politically sensitive area. Particularly when their best customers are families and the majority of those families are heterosexual, doesn't seem like this was the most prudent decision made. I have had other reasons for not stopping at McDonald's now I have another. Support traditional American values, your value meal will be more accepted." "A country is only as strong as its states; a state is only as stron as its city; a city is only as strong as its churches; a church is only as strong as its families; because of the breakdown of the family, so goes the society and beyond. McDonalds can only survive when families are strong." "It is a sad day when a great American company caves in to the immoral minority, and openly supports their views. I believe this is a sin, and as long as McDonald's chooses to take a stand on morality, instead of selling hamburgers, I will not be a patron." "Wendy's, here we come!!!!" "More than 45 yrs ago we started frequenting McD's- fun to go out but not spend a fortune. Not anymore are we coming to eat with you. Family Friendly? JOKE! Clean up your act- Stand up for TRUTH not FILTH!!" "I'm sorry you chose this route about gays ;I will not give my money in any shape-form-or fashion to this group. May God forgive you." "I have already changed my fast food habits and have intentionally chosen other than McDonalds." "I can not support McDonald's so bye, bye!" "Life is full of choices, I just made one. My family will nolonger eat at MC DONALDS" "As a corporate leader, you should set an example, but with your current actions, you have lost a lifelong customer. And we will go to your competition." ""My family and I will no longer eat at any McDonalds restaurants again. We have passed your homosexual agenda on to our local churches and our friends to let them know what our money is promoting when we eat at McDonalds. You no longer have my support and I know many of our church family will no longer support you either." "I am very much against the stance you have taken and will not be eating at McDonalds in the future." "Your continued insistance on supporting gay activism has cost you my business and that of my immediate family's" "Until McDonald's decides that it will remain neutral on this issue my family and everyone I can forward this message to will no longer enter or spend one cent in a McDonalds." "My family and I used to go to McDonald's nearly every week. Since I first heard about your support of the NGLCC, my husband and I made a deliberate choice to no longer patronize McDonald's. We have done this for the last two months and will continue to do so until your policy changes. Instead, we will go to either Wendy's or Chick Fillet. I have been doing my best to spread the word to everyone I know. I hope you realize how seriously we view your stance on this subject." "For a company who services families, this is a complete slap in the face to families and I certainly hope they (McDonald's will reverse their decision to remain in the NGLCC. There are plenty of other eating places around for us to use and I will be using them instead of McDonald's. Thank you for listening to my comments. Sincerely P.Martino" "McDonald's, you are FOOLISH to be alienating a powerful and numerous customer base like this! Why can't you just be a regular business that sticks to hamburgers? Why do you have to try to be social engineers, too? My family and I will honor the boycott and our health will be the better for it. Shame on you." "While the employment, ability to eat is open to all, why is gay marriage and other miscellaneous and sundry items attached? Becoming a GLCC member is going too far. I must now exclude your chain from my business." "I have been going to McDonald's for over 40 years and especially enjoy stopping for a cup of coffee when I travel. But I will not be stopping there anymore." "I will not be eating at mcdonalds again, nor anyone else in my family. And I will actively get the message out to friends,churches, and other establishments what mcdonalds is supporting. I do not understand what mcdonalds hopes to gain by supporting such gross immorality!" "It is sad when a beloved place to go to and take children to turns into a distasteful place and no longer one to go to with your family. Very sad but then there are many other places to go to. Goodbye McDonald's" "My children often enjoyed going to McDonald's, but I have explained to them that we will not be going. Now every time we drive by, my oldest son asks me "Is McDonald's still doing bad?"" "I think you are really forgetting who buys food at McDonald's." "I am glad to see so many people use exercise their freedom to choose what is right. I know many people feel the same about them but will still eat there anyway. I am among those who will now go to Wendy's or some other establishment. I am also one who spent a lot of money at McDonalds weekly. But I will no longer give them my money so they can give it to an organization and cause that I am against." "Diversity can be a good thing, but it is multi-directional. By supporting this group you are excluding a large majority of your customers. If you choose that lifestyle, fine...we are all given free will. However, my free will...will no longer allow me to include McDonalds. I don't want someones sexual orientation to be a part of my dinning experience. Straight or not." "It's really to bad that you've chosen this position! My family of 4 will no longer be wasting our hard earned money at McDonalds just to see it being used against our FAMILY VALUES! Plus I'll be sharing this with our church family of more than 200, and you can be sure they'll share it with their family and more church family, so this number will multiply very quickly! I pray God will press on your hearts to change this policy immediately!" "It is with a sad heart that I have to say my husband and I will no longer be treating our twelve grandchildren to Mc Donalds. Hello Burger King and Checkers. Nancy" "It makes no sense to me why McDonald's chooses to take this stand. I, as a consumer will also take a stand and not support McDonalds in any way. Maybe the NGLCC can supply all the support they need. It's a sad day in America when an organization like the NGLCC can influence such a large corporation." "Oh, how my heart is breaking for your decision to support that which the Lord God frowns on. In His Word He created the sanctity of marriage for man and woman in the garden of Eden(GENESIS 2:23 & 24). The Bible is very specific about this and does not waiver from this fact and neither does the Lord God. He does not change and I worry for you when He returns, what are you going to say to Him? It is for this reason that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (GEN.19:1-13).I will pray you do the right thing and withdraw your support of the gay/lesbian groups." "I believe in God and I believe that I live in a moral universe, that came from the mind and hand of a Creator who is still in charge, in whose keeping still lie all the issues of life and death. I don't believe in fate, chance, or luck. I am a child of God! I believe that God has made us and still preserve us. Homosexually is definitely condemned in God's word. I can;t support McDonald's and God at the same time. I choose God!!!" ""As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." That means that my wife, ,myself, and our children and grandchildren will no longer make purchases at McDonalds !!!" ""Have it your way!" Oops, that's Burger King - where I will be eating lunch today! Our family will also discontinue picking up breakfast at McDonald's on the way to church!" "My family won't be giving our money to McDonalds anymore, there is plenty other places to eat!!!!!" "Supporting the homosexual agenda does not fit a family oriented company like McDonald's. I am very disappointed in your company. I won't be taking my grandchildren there any more." ""With so many truly worthy causes,why waste money promoting a lifestyle that is unscriptual and dangerous.Far too many other places to eat! My money won't be spent there any more!" "My husband and I have 7 children and we love McDonalds. McDonalds has always been considered a family restaurant, it's for the kids! What are you going to do when all the kids and their families are no longer eating at your establishment. The people that promote the homosexual lifestyle are only about 14% of the US can McDonald's make it on just that 14%? We won't be eating there again until McDonalds backs down from their endorsement!" "McDonalds used to stand for a corporation that supported kids and families. I am so deeply saddended that they would choose to use their influence to take a blatently anti-Christian position that undermines families and threatens future generations. Our family will choose another restaurant until you change your mission." "Homosexaulity is a lie from satan. God plainly tells us it is wrong. I will not step foot in another McDonalds because I refuse to support anyone that chooses this lifestyle." "McDonald's used to stand for family and children. It has now switched to openly promoting peversion and sinful behavior. Goodbye from a 50 year long customer and all his Grandchildren who have switched to Wendy's!!!!" "by your actions you have lost a good customer" "Everyone tells us, as Christians, that we are supposed to be tolerant of everyone and everything else and not offend anyone. Well, as as Christian, I am offended by the stance McDonald's is taking. I can continue to support McDonald's and offend our most Holy God, or I can eat elsewhere. It's a no-brainer!" "I will not support McDonald's until McDonald's stops supporting homosexuals." "Until your organization changes it's policy on this issue, I will no longer purchase from any McDonald's. I will forward this email to everyone in my contacts list." "It is extremely disappointing that a company that claims to support diversity would show such open disregard for those who believe the support of the homosexual lifestyle is wrong. Not one more penny of my money will go to this establishment. God will judge those who not only commit sin, but those who support it as well. I will be praying for those in management positions, as well as the employees!" "Neither me, my grandkids or any peoples whom I can influence will be going to McDonald's until they get it right ethically and moraly oon the homosexual issue." "I am a teacher, and have always told my students how many good things McDonalds has done for people. No more!!! I will not eat at McDonalds or recommend anyone else eat there until a revision of your present policy is completely changed." "Dear Sir, We have spent many dollars at your various locations, however, since you have decided that you are going to promote the Homosexual crowd in such a grand fashion-----I suppose that you won't mind if we never eat in your restraunts, or never use your drive through windows. Thanks for being so bold in your stand on this issue, but just remember that there are a lot of other bold people that will take their stand on their beliefs and convictions, and eating at McDonald's is definitely one of those stands that we will be making. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, A person who is concerned about doing right, and opposed to the things that are wrong." "I am so sorry you have decided to support the gay community. My family and I will never eat at any of your establishments again." "My family and I are very pro-life and uphold the biblical values taught to us by our founding fathers. We will not be purchasing anymore of your products due to the fact that you can't stay neutral in a cultural war. So, it was nice doing business with you while it lasted." "I am confused... Is McDonald's a food establishment or are they a party running for office? Until their position with supporting the NGLCC changes to a neutral one, I have opted to take my family elsewhere. Here we come In-&-Out, Carl's Jr., and Wendy's. Bye by golden arches!" "I certainly will not patronize McDonalds ever. My husband and I witnessed the San Francisco gay parade once and were absolutely disgusted with the nudity, sexual behavior, parade conduct etc... Totally x-rated in our American city." "We will no longer visit the ole' McD's. Ronald McDonald must be turning over in his grave. Glad to see there are so many people out there that still have morals and God-given family values. It's a relief!" "I don't understand why family values are not more important than taking a stand for homosexuality. McDonald's should be ashamed of themselves for choosing to make a statement for homosexuality rather than for family values." "Supporting the Gay Agenda, too bad! No more Ford vehicles and now no more McD's. You just lost about 30 bucks a week from my family. Looks like a "Going out of Business" move to me. Hopefully, the Golden Archs will come down before our Nation goes down because of such actions. Chic-fil-a and Wendy's never looked so good." "As an elected legislator representing working families throughout Tennessee's 7th District, I cannot stand by while a multinational corporation condones acts of sodomy in the name of political correctness. Respectfully, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R)Tennessee, 7th District" "McDonald's has always been one of my favorite places to eat fast food. I am saddened and sickened. I will choose to find another favorite until those in control find God's instructions more important than their acceptance and support of the things that God abhors." "I am sad to hear that they would come out and support homosexual activity when the Bible clearly states that marriage is unity of man and woman. My family and I will not eat here until this is changed as we cannot condone that type of lifestyle." "McDonald's: We are writing to ask that you take an honest look at the gay agenda that you have chosen to support financially. An honest look, we believe, will cause you to see that your decision to support this agenda in not in the best interest of all the children who love your restaurant and all the children and families you have served through the Ronald McDonald House. We will be waiting for further word regarding your decision to support this agenda.It will certainly determine our choice of morning coffee. Derald and Ruth Berg" "I have many fond memories of eating at McDonalds as a kid. My wife and I had several birthday parties for our children there also. But, living for the soon coming "KING of KINGS" will not allow me to eat there anymore. This tolerate policy is strickly against the WORD of God! It saddens me deeply that their management has taken this wrong coarse of action. McDonalds will surely reap what it is sowing!!!" "It's just overwhelmingly discouraging to see how family-oriented companies such as McDonald's choose to flagrantly ignore the core values of our country and choose to support the gay agenda in spite of their customers' wishes. I will strive to rally all my friends and family to join me in a boycott of their restaurants until they rethink their position." "McDonald management, you had your free choice and you chose to support homosexuality. I have my free choice and I choose to now go to Burger King, Arby's, Taco Bell, Subway, or Wendy's. I will never buy another McDonald's product as long as you choose to support homosexuality." "My 12 year old son loves McDonald's, but we won't be going back until/unless your policy on supporting the homosexual agenda changes." "What next? Are you going to support NAMBLA ? NO McDonalds for me!!!" "I am very disappointed that an organization who has always promoted FAMILY VALUES has now chosen to actively support the homosexual agenda. Sadly, my family will no longer eat at your establishments unless your corporate support of these gay initiatives stops." "Wow, after years of having McDonalds part of our family life we will have to end that. Since the homosexual agenda is and will be aggressively supported by the Mac, we can expect fervent support from them for the unisex restrooms and the "freedom" of people choosing which restroom to use based on perceived gender identity. who would have believed that Mcdonalds would ever support cross dressers using the ladies'room where we moms take our kids when they need to go! My teens will also never apply for work there!In short we will not eat, play and be at Mcdonalds anymore!!" "Until you shift into neutral, I'm staying in reverse to McDonald's and going forward to other places that support good Christian and moral values." "I've Patrnized Mc Donald;s for over 50 years multiple times a week I will no loger do so till they withdraw support from the gay pride movment. RWH" "How can you offend my religious convictions? Homosexuality is a sin, like stealing. Why couldn’t you remain neutral from this issue. I will not do business at McDonald’s until you change your stands." "McDonald's has always been the choice when we take our grandchildren (13 of them) out to eat, but it won't be anymore. By not staying neutral on this issue, McDonald's forces us, as christians, not to stay neutral. Sonic, Hardee's, Dairy Queen, and so many others are just waiting to take our money. Now you have given them that opportunity. As for me and mine, we will dine elsewhere!" "McDonalds used to be thought of as a wholesome company with a "clean" image. that is now history." "My son is a "special needs" child who loves his McDonald's Happy Meal. Because of McDonald's position on the homosexual lifestyle, I have the sad task of trying to explain to my son..."no more "Dano's." Shame on you McDonald's, you just lost your #1 customer!" "NO MORE BIG MACs for or my family until you change your policy and stop your promotion of the gay/lesbian agenda!" "I will not eat at McDonald's. I rather spend my money at Chickfila, where they support families, kids and christians. I do not feel this stand is supporting diversity. It is supporting an alternative lifestyle choice and completely shuts out traditional families. McDonald's chose the miniority and will lose in the end. At least, they will lose the money I spend. It's time for companies to realize they should just stick to "flipping burgers" and not feel the need to stand up and support a dangerous lifestyle choice. Shame on McDonalds!" "So much for family ,no more Mc'ky D's for us.Sorry to see you have gotten on the gay agenda band wagon. you can not desensitize all of the morally abiding people of God.We should be praying for them not subsidizing their corrupt life style. I will pray for you also." "I am so sorry that McDonald's has chosen to identify with and promote a decadent life-style agenda. It seems a no brainer to simply be neutral but you have refused that course. Me, my family, my friends are all joining the boycott. What a sad good-by!" "I have always looked at McDonalds as a family oriented business. The senior coffee, the happy meals for our kids and grand kids, and the playstations all seem to represent family orientation and values. Why would you choose to support an immoral minority over millions of families that have paid your way over the years. As much as I have loved McDonalds, I will not visit you again." ""I love all people regardless of background or behavior. However, I would not support a restaurant that supports marital infidelity and I will not support one that SUPPORTS homosexuality either."" "I am very disappoint to hear of your active support for a lifestyle that is destructive to people's lives, their realtionship to God, and destructive to families. It is not a genetic pre-disposition, it is a learned behavior. They need the help that Christ can offer, not a pat on their back to continue in their sin." "No More Mcdonalds for me ..Was my favorite place for cheese burgers.Look out Rallys here I come" "So much for the long held "family friendly" image of McDonald's. Every child deserves a mother AND a father, and if a corporation insists on taking a stand on this moral issue, it should be in behalf of the traditional family--the building block of our society!" "Think about the impact of supporters for the Ronald McDonald Houses...we will supoort families in another way and NOT donate to something that is related to what you are supporting. We are passing the word and it is spreading FAST. New Baltimore, MI" "I USED to carry my family there multiple times per week, and I additionally ate breakfast there 6 days out of 7. Now you will NOT be getting MY money to support a gay agenda. Not only my fammily, but the 400 or so families at my church. I WILL be sending this to my churches' website, and telling other churches to do the same. Too bad my money means more to you than keeping your job. You WILL feel the loss, and I hope in a big way! There are way too many places to choose other than McGaynold's to eat. I'll happily give your (my) money to them!" "Since rumor of this has been going around I have been taking my three children to Chick Fil A and we will continue to do so, we are so disappointed in the MacDonald's corp. My family will not support your agenda." "How disappointing that you cannot remain neutral on such a controversial issue. I will no longer be giving you any of my business and I will do my very best to see that all of my friends and family know what it is that you so blatantly support. I feel certain that they will withdraw any of their business to you as well. I only hope that someone will be able to convey to you the truth of God's Word and that you will be convicted to change your ways and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, and when He says that something is wrong....you'd better believe it is!!! PLEASE reconsider your decision on this MAJOR issue!!!!!!" "Since I have heard of this I have printed copies and since I am in the public customers pick them up everyday and are stunned when they read what Mc donalds has turned into. this is not what Mcdonalds of the past stood for, thats what made you and sorry to say what your doing now is what would break you,you know right from wrong don't you... Terry" "Thanks a lot Mc Donalds, for contributing to the deterioration of the morals of this nation...remember, God allows us our own choices, however, when going against God, the consequences of our sin will be His choices! For each and every one that aids in the wrong, no matter how big, how little a part we took...might want to recoonsider the "choice' you have made...Linda...Maxwell, Ca." "It is sad, when making a dollar is more important than values and morals. I will not be bringing my children back because these are not these influences I want them exposed to." "Sorry to hear that you support-endorse the Gay/Lesbian agenda. I will not continue to eat at your resturants." "I suppose the thing that bothers me most is that the corporate staff of McDonalds doesn't recognize the destructive and aberrant aspect of homosexuality. After 50 years as a customer, I am through. I will also seek to persuade my church family of over 400 to follow!" "McDonald's used to be a family friendly place and our family has spent quite a bit of time and money there for DECADES. That will no longer be the case. Until you stop supporting the unwholesome agenda of the NGLCC, our family will take our business elsewhere --- there are plenty of wholesome choices." "I live about an 1/8 of a mile from McDonald's, but I'll drive to a different establishment instead!! Melinda in Ann Arbor" "Your commercials and ads portray a wholesome and healthy family setting. A homosexual family is not healthy physically or spiritually. I will be bringing my family of 5 to McDonald's anymore until your stance is changed. Christians need to stand up for our families and what is healthy and right." "Both of my family and I and also all of my family members and husband's families are not going to eat there anymore til they stop support NGLCC! It's wrong to support that lifestyle especially right now in America!! Gotta show what is right and what is wrong! Get America on the right track with GOD!! We will choose another place to eat..there are plenty of other restaurants!! Tons!! So, think about it!! You will start to see the changes when people stop eating at your restaurants all over in America!! Amanda C." "ME AND MY 4 GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE DOING OUR DINING SOMEWHERE ELSE." "No longer will I be buying your product nor taking my group of youth (over 100) to eat at your establishment while on mission tours. A very unwise move on your part to support a small minority of people and distance yourselves from the majority. It sure doesn't make sense to me. But, hey, what do I know? ha" "As long as McDonald's supports the gay agenda and neglects the traditional family which has been so good to them, this family will no longer be eating at McDonald's." "Dear McDonalds, My 4 children and I will no longer patronize your restaurants as long as you actively support gay & lesbian activities." "All my family and friends will never again eat at McDonalds until you go neutral in your support and promotion of homosexuality." "The whole arena is full of wrothly cause, from feed the poor to St Jude Hospital and you went to sponsor an un-natural way of life? Sorry, but I will bring my business to better places. Sayonara!!!!" "Our family loves to eat at McDonalds, but we will no longer eat there any more!! There are plenty of other good fast food restaurants out there that don't support some sort of gay political agenda." "It's about cheeseburgers and fries. Not about lifestyle. Please change it back. Otherwise, I'll change my selection to another restaurant." "These is not about loving them as people but supporting a lifestyle that is/will be taught to our children as being "normal"." "Until McDonald's chooses not to support an anti-family agenda, I choose not to eat at McDonalds. You've lost a 28 year long customer. Plus, I will be SURE to TELL ALL MY PRO-FAMILY friends to boycott McDonald's as well." "I'm sorry McDonald's has taken this position. It will be very inconvenient for my wife and I to find another place to eat in the very short time we have between daily Mass and choir practice on Wednesday evenings, but we will have to do so. I don't want to patronize an organization that supports perversion and the destruction of the family." "Sorry to say our family will no longer be enjoying our grandchildren playing while we enjoy family time at McDonalds. We have had great respect for the things you do with your Ronald Mcdonald houses and have supported them. But I can not and will not support a business that supports the gay movements." "I read all of the comments below & that is positively my sediment!!" "What's so difficult about remaining neutral on this subject?? No more McDonalds for my husband and I!!" "I am very disappointed. McDonald's was a nice place that I could take my kids for a great time and we could enjoy each other. We will not be going back until McDonald's changes their views about marriage. There are plenty of other places to eat and I will not support a place that supports homosexual lifestyles." "I am extremely saddened that McDonald's has chosen to endorse a damaging, un-Biblical lifestyle. Staying neutral would have been fine with me, but they have chosen to embrace something my family opposes. I am so glad there is Chick-Fil-A!!! We will pray for a change of heart and a change of agenda at McDonald's from the top down." "I am shocked that McDonalds would choose to alienate such a large portion of their customers. When my daughter was younger we spent a lot of time at McDonalds in the play area eating the kids meals. I can not in all good consciousness continue to support McDonalds. Kathy Wright" "Being for or against homosexuality is not the greatest issue here. McDonald's should reconsider their support of any topic that is as controvercial as this one. Really, they can support whatever they please. But I am amongst millions who will reconsider frequenting a place that is in support of something in which I do not agree. It would be wise for McDonald's to reconsider." "My grandchildren love Mcdonalds and I'll miss my egg mcmuffin every morning, but we will no longer patronize Mcdonalds." "My grandkids & family love McDonalds but I will not spend anymore money at an establishment that goes against a family of one man & one woman to be married & raise children. This is against God's Word - homosexuality is wrong & affirming it is wrong. Arby's is for the family of God. God in the end will not let your business succeed doing this. I urge you to change your way." "This is a perfect example of how one homosexual in an executive position can try and shove the gay agenda down millions of peoples throats. Here's what a backlash taste like, you just lost mine and millions of others business. Goodbye McDonald's, hello Burger King, Wendy's and others." "What's so difficult about remaining neutral on this subject?? No more McDonalds for my husband and I!!" "Being for or against homosexuality is not the greatest issue here. McDonald's should reconsider their support of any topic that is as controvercial as this one. Really, they can support whatever they please. But I am amongst millions who will reconsider frequenting a place that is in support of something in which I do not agree. It would be wise for McDonald's to reconsider." "We are on vacation right now. Eating at McDonald's has always been a great deal for a family of 6, especially with today's gas prices. However, I will gladly pay more to eat somewhere else. I cannot in good conscience support any organization or company that is so blatantly supportive of a lifestyle that is so detrimental to society. McDonald's has chosen to kowtow to the homosexual lobby, and will find out just as Ford did how powerful boycotts can be." "My husband and I go to the local McDonald's every weekend without fail. But now we feel McDonald's has failed us by aggressively pursuing the gay/lesbian agenda. Maybe you should get back in touch with the core values of the people who have made McDonald's what it is today. Maybe you should stop talking long enough to listen." "I will no longer take my grandchildren to McDonalds" "I and my family, along with my grandkids, have been long time McDaonald customers. But in view of your support of the gay lifestyle which is against God's will (LEV 18:22) beginning immediately we will no longer eat at McDonald's. When you cease to support this sinful activity we will consider eating at McDonald again." "No more Happy Meals for me!" "As a long standing customer of McDonalds, I tell you that you have seen the last of my business. I and my grandchildren will no longer buy anything from McDonalds." "I am very sad about this, because we really love McDonald's food. However, morally and ethically we cannot support your support for the homosexual agenda. We hope you decide to change your decision (We will not be fooled by a temporary change; it would have to be a permanent change)." "I am forwarding this information to many people. McDonalds has now officially stepped down from the much coveted "Family Restaurant" status. SHAME ON YOU MCDONALDS!!!!!" "I and my family have just quit eating at McDonalds. My friend Ray K. is turning over in his grave." "I am 59 years old. My parents were both educators and on Friday nights the treat at our home was for our parents to take my brother and I to McDonalds. We watched the sign change weekly at the number of hamburgers sold increased. Now, because of your choice to help promote the homosexual agenda none of my family will be looking for the golden arches any longer. How sad that an American icon is supporting one of the very things that is weakening our nation." "McDonald's is NOT an option for our family." "I really do like big mac's but as a family we feel we cannot support you anymore until you change your position on the gay agenda" "I use to enjoy taking my kids to McDonald's after school. Now that i know what you support and where a portion of my money given to you is spent I will visit other other places. I am sure you know percentages and know that you will not let the minority affect the majority." "Just remember that there are ALOT of us that will not stand for this. Your business WILL suffer. Please reconsider your position on homosexuality." "I have advised all my friends and relatives that by shopping at McDonald's you are supporting their homosexual agenda." "We will not go to McDonalds and are encouraging all of our neighbors who have young children to stay away as well-they agree" "I eat at Mcdonald's every morning and many other times during the week. However I and my family (very large family) will not be eating there untill you comply with AFA's reasonable request." "We are very disappointed to hear you no longer support the values of the traditional family therefore we will no longer be supporting your company. We both come from very large families and will be sure to spread the word to boycott McDonalds." "Why would McDonald's support this type of lifestyle that is damaging to our children and the whole of society? I can only think that someone at the corporate level is engaged in such deviant practices and is trying to ease their conscience. Our family will not be eating at McDonald's any more." "It's such a shame that McDonald's has chosen to openly support a grievous lifestyle such as homosexuality. They are no longer a family friendly establishment in my book. I will not eat there or take my children there again." "I reaffirm my intention to no longer eat at McDonald's. I use to eat lunch there at least twice a week. They made their choice and so have I!" "We have seven children ages 6-17 and it will be difficult to leave but it must be done. We love all people and I would be writing this same letter if there was a hetrosexual issue." "McDonald's is no longer a family restaurant! We will no longer patronize it!!!" "My husband and I ate quite often at your place of business. No longer will we eat there. My grandchildren loves this place,but no longer will we take tham there." "If McDonalds has so much cash to give and they really want to help people, why not channel it to those hurt by the recent natural disasters that have left so many homeless. I'm sure your customers would have not problem with this. It's not a wise contribution of resources to try to change our culture to something that will bring eventual destruction to the family, your best customers." "Due to the fact that McDonald's refuses to remain neutral, my family (of8) can no longer spend our hard earned money with your company. How Sad that you have chosen to spurn one group to stand for another. Just be neutral. I will not patronize a restaurant that chooses political correctness and sexual issues over children and family." "My grandchildren and I will not be eating at McD's since we do not agree with your moral agenda. Why don't you stay in the food business and stop pushing your immoral agenda?" "When will you realize that you cannot force immoral values on Christians. Whether you believe it or not this will really impact your company. Not only will you lose dollars, but anyone who opposes the things of God never wins." "What a shame! Youcall yourselves a family restaurant and at the same time promote a perversion of the family. We won't be back" "I can not support a FAMILY resturant who does not support the FAMILY. Sorry" "Mr. Jim Skinner, Board Members, and shareholders, As a customer, friend of many other customers, and parent of several future customers, I was very dismayed to hear that your organization has opted to become a corporate sponsor with the NGLCC. This organization, while maintaining seeks to destroy the very family values that I once thought that McDonald's held. Your sponsorship tells me that the values that I hold as a traditional family (not to mention the founding ideals of your company) are no longer important to you and I will make my future eating out decisions based on where my values are respected. I also find it interesting, as well as disturbing, that Mr. Richard Ellis, Vice President of Communications at McDonald's USA, LLC has a bio listed on the NGLCC website as one of their board members, but not on the corporate McDonald's website. Just where does Mr. Ellis' priorities lie?" "If McDonalds is all about diversity, does it plan on partnering with the polygamists groups. Aren't they being descriminated against?" "Myself or my family will not be dining at Mcdonalds until they change their views regarding their support of the gay agenda. Used to be my wifes favorite restaurant." "My family & I just watched a special on McDonalds last night, how it started & overcame obstacles. I was enlighted and enjoyed the special, but now, if McDonalds does not change its positiion on homosexuality, I'm afraid it is headed in trouble again. My family & I will NOT spend our money at McDonalds until they change their policy. Have they not read what happen to the city that supported and practiced homosexuality? It was destroyed. It's a real shame that a good fast-food place as this is supporting homosexuality." "I love your coffe and the egg and cheese biscuit. But no more will I purchase any thing from your store. Georgia" "I grew up eating at McDonalds. However, I will not grow old eating at a place that supports political correctness over family and morally correct values! I do not condone this way of life because the Bible and God say it is wrong! R. Flanery Lexington, KY" "I will not be eating at McDonalds anymore while they support the gay agenda. I'm sure my family and I will be healthier because of it anyway!!" "I'll go hungry before I eat another McDonalds meal." "I, along with adults & youth at our church, used to eat at McDonald's every Sunday night. We will no longer eat at McDonald's because of their choice to support Homosexuality. We had to tell our youth why we aren't eating there anymore--that should be enough to make you stop supporting this lifestyle." "I am the Matriarch of a HUGE family,due to this disgusting position McDonald's taking I have put out the "WORD" for everyone to STOP going to McDonald's IMMEDIATELY. God WILL bless this family for taking this stand!" "Our family of seven will not longer support McDonalds until their policy is changed!" "How do we get to a point where one man dares to speak for an organization as large as McDonalds? It sounds like a personal agenda. Can it really be true that the corporation as a whole has a commitment to the G&L community?" "You tout your business as a family restaurant, yet you choose to align yourself with this abomination. Can you imagine what would happen to humankind of we were all married to same sex partners, we wouldn't be! It is clear in scripture that this behavior is sin and it does not please the Lord. Indeed you will not see me at any of your restaurants, or my family again. I will pray for your organization to retreat from your course of action." "Until today, my family of five ate at McD's every other day. We Love the Lord and believe in the Word of God. We will eat at McD's again once the support of NGLCC stops." "McDonald's has been a FAMILY place for as long as I can remember. Since you have chosen to "go gay", (and cater to a small minority of the population while offending the majority), I will choose to eat elsewhere." "We have been long-time enthusiasts -- thoroughly enjoying your restaurants and patronizing them regularly. We have not entered the doors of any of your facilities in months, will not do so until you become neutral in this area AND will strongly encourage everyone I know, or have contact with, to do the same." "How sad! You know--homosexuality does not produce any children to come to McDonalds!" "You folks have forgotten who made you #1 in the fast food business... It was families...mom, dad and the kids... not gays or gay groups... ask the Ford Corporation what a Christian Boycott can do to sales and profits!!! See ya Micky D's i'm outta here. wise up before it to late. God Bless Your Stock Holders, May they Raise up and Fire the lot of you! Peggy In Indy" "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. To me this is another sign of the times we are living in and it saddens me for the thousands of people that will go on their way and never see the love Jesus Christ has for them. He said if we would turn from our wicked ways he would save our land. I will not be giving them my money or my families to promote their agenda. But I will be in much prayer for them as Jesus said to love everyone and pray for them but not take part in the sin." "With your 'ignorant' support of this issue, I will now be a regular customer of Hardee's and Burger King!!! Goodbye to McDonalds!!! You should be ashamed!" "We spent hundreds of dollars at McD's each year-no more. Thank you for letting us know where you stand." "Now Chick-fil-A sounds even better. McDonald's has been good by family is better" "This is very disappointing and entirely unacceptable for McDonald's, not only to condone, but to promote such aberrant behavior. I think I will do without your products." "I recognize that McDonalds and all corporations have the right to support whatever organizations they choose to support. I also favor the fair and equal treatment of all customers and employees. However, I can not support the fact that McDonalds has taken a pro-homosexual agenda therefore I will instruct my broker to divest any McDonalds stock I may own and I will no longer patronize McDonalds." "With so many choices of places to eat, choosing to eat elsewhere is a simple thing for our family of 5. McDonalds, like so many other companies, have forgotten their roots (families who made them a success). Looks like the golden arches are tarnished." "I will never look at McDonald's the same way again." "It's to bad that McDonalds Supports the Gay Agenda.Looks like my family has eaten their last meal there until your support changes. This is a small town with a Hardy's , Wendy's and McDonalds. Looks like Hardys and Wendy's will be getting the business from now on. Our churches will get behind the drive. Cathy B" "I do not understand why companies like McDonald's would support the homosexual movement. It is detrimental to the future of their own business. Homosexuality is about sexual preference and nothing more. Such a relationship cannot produce children. Follow their agenda and their will be a lack of people on this earth to purchase anything. All ethnic groups should be up in arms over the homosexuals pursuing their "civil rights". They are about sex, not race, creed, etc. Its an affront to all legitmate efforts for equal rights under the law of this great nation." "I have enjoyed McDonalds for many years. We have always carried our children, grandchildren and youth groups from our church. We are so disappointed that you have chosen to support something that God has always condemned.Needless to say, we will not be frequenting your establishments. Please reconsider your decision." "I do not patronize mcdonalds because your product is not as good as burger king, however now I can not patronize mcdonalds because of your support of an abominable life style." "I thought McDonalds was for families. My mistake. Actually, it's your mistake. There are SO many other fast food establishments to chose from in our Northern New Jersey area. We won't be buying McDonalds anymore. You've made a serious miscalculation." "I've always enjoyed McDonalds but I'll get used to Wendys or Burger King. Jerre" "Until McDonald's changes their policy and become neutral in regards to the homosexual agenda and not actively promoting and endorsing such a life style, my family will no longer frequent it's restaurants.There are many other choices that stay socially neutral." "I'm sure Wendy's and Burger King will be glad to serve me. Where there's a Mc you'll always find the others too." "McDonalds used to stand for promoting the strengths of America. I promise you that one day you will understand what you're promoting now will weaken and end life as we know it. It's in the history of any major fallen country. Vickie" "Going to McDonald's used to be a weekly thing for my family of seven. Used to be."" "McDonald's a family friendly place? Not anymore. They endorse a sin God condemns. Shame!" "How sad, to think of the good that has been done, what with the Ronald McDonald house....and now to turn away. That good will not justify what is happening, and even when I look at the once welcoming benches that comforted children and their families, it will sadden me that you have turned away from what God wants for your life. The Golden Arches are tarnished. I do not care to eat there, or bring my family or grandchildren" "This is a huge mistake for McDonald's considering they will be hurting the franchisee who may not be behind the corporation. You say you want to make a difference with your money,so do we and we chose to make our difference by boycotting businesses who support a homosexual lifestyle. There are plenty of other truly family friendly restaurants around where I can spend my money. Family is one man and one woman and their children. One question - if Mr. Ellis was an evangelical would you put your company's money behind evangelicals?" "Jim Skinner feels that "We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world ... and we do." I think he is leading his company to make a negative difference in the world. I have not eaten at McD's since it announced it's agenda and I will continue to not eat there until it changes." "I have always believed McDonald's to be a family facility. I know that is no longer true so please remove your play area. It no longer has a place there and neither do I." "It is more about the foundation of faith and our country, Homosexuality is a Sin, we do not hate the individual, but we hate the Sin. McDonald's is a family name, it is a family business and Homosexuality is not an acceptable life style. It is an attack on the American Way of Life and our foundation. I will not be be seen at McDonald's. God Bless America." "What a disappointment that McDonald's must be "pro-gay" v. neutral; Not a smart business move, given most customers are Christians w/family values; Please "reaffirm" your decision & choose to be neutral v. pro homosexuality (this gives you the best customer base & doesn't offend, if you MUST be diverse)." "I am very upset about this. I have enjoyed eating at McDonald's since I was a kid. I will not set foot inside any of their stores until they become neutral." "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. We will not buy or serve McDonalds unless this policy is changed. God loves the sinner, but condemns the sin." "We have eaten at McDonalds for the last time unless you withdraw your support from NGLCC" "The grandkids were not too disappointed when we told them what the situation is and that we have alternatives to eating out at places they enjoy. Looks like we now have a new place to have fun together. Perhaps we will see you again but not until this policy is changed." "I have always taken my children to Macy"D"s but now I am at the age of grandchildern coming. I suppose we will not pass on the Macy tradition in this family. Why? because we define a family as husband/wife- male/female = offsprings- children- Ronald McDonald people.....sorry we have to turn you off too." "I am so very disappointed... Your company targets our children in the most ungodly ways! Do you not care where you spend eternity? READ THE BIBLE... it plainly states that it is a sin to live that kind of lifestyle. But to openly support it like you do... my husband and I will not be taking our children to your restaurants again. It wouldn't matter if you decided to change your mind about being neutral, I wouldn't trust you anyway. I will be choosing other restaurants such as Wendy's from now on." "I am very disappointed that McDonald's is giving their support to the homosexual lifestyle that is so contrary to Biblical principles. The family was ordained by God to be a man, a woman and children. Children need the stability of a father and mother to grow to be what their creator intends for them. Surely you have seen the decline in our morality and how it has affected our society over the years. When sin is tolerated we all lose. My family has NOT stepped foot into a McDonald's since we became aware of its decision to support the gay & lesbian lifestyle and we will continue to take our business elsewhere. Please reconsider your stand on this issue." "Is this what the founder of McDonalds had in mind? I think not. I won't be back." "McDonald's has always presented itself as a family oriented restaurant. By supporting the homosexual agenda you are showing how little you really think of the American family, that blatant disrespect has caused you lose my business. I will not have my kids associated with a company that supports something I know to be immoral." "You have, by your definition of diversifing, excluded my family from your product" "Waffle House for breakfast and Wendys for lunch." "Say good-bye to a customer 5 days a week. Ate at What-a-Burger this morning and guess what ? Better food ,better prices, and a family orienteed buisness. We won't be back til your homosexual policy changes" "There are four McDonald's within 30 miles of my home. I will no longer eat there or take my four grandchildren. Instead of making a commitment to gay's and lesbians, why not make a commitment to the children and parents who have kept McDonald's in business? Bible believer's can't support a business that supports a group that is totally against God's laws." "My family and I will no longer spend our money at McDonald's." "My children and now grandchildren were big supporters of McDonalds, but not anymore. McDonald's must understand supporting American family values does not include the Homosexual agenda." "How sad, so sad. And I tho't McDonald's was family oriented. Guess not. Well, alright. I guess that means that I go around the corner or next door. There are so many other choices. Just remember that McD's is not so big that it won't fall down. It just has farther to fall. Also, does this mean you will be putting the full weight of your company in support of arson, pedophilia and shoplifting, too????" "My whole family has eaten at McDonalds our entire life and have enjoyed it's family atmosphere, until now. Ray Kroc must be turning in his grave. GOOD BYE MCDEs" "Needless to say, we will "never" be coming back to McDonalds for our usual "Double Cheeseburger". We pray that your position regarding gay and lesbian support will change." "I have always loved Mc Donalds, especially for my grandchildren. But I will not be returning until they change their policy. I know that most of the restaurants are franchises. I would urge the franchise owners to put pressure on the home office." "My children and grandchildren have been McDonald fans, but this hasnow turend sour. YOu have lost two generations in your acation. What-a-Burger will now be our hamburger of choice." "Burger King has a new Mac N Cheese kids meal. Couldn't be better timing because that is what my kids are getting from now on." "I have eaten at McDonald's for literally decades. "Supersize Me" didn't faze me. Reports of beef tallow in the fries didn't faze me. I was a loyal customer (and regularly bought my daughter happy meals); thousands of dollars worth of business. NO MORE. Their attitude and stance on this one issue has soured the Big Mac for me. Ditto the Big Breakfast. The Happy Meal is no longer happy. I will consider coming back IF and ONLY IF they immediately reverse their support of this issue and REMAIN NEUTRAL in the culture war! I'm completely fine with hiring homosexuals and protecting their freedoms PROVIDED that they do not infringe on my rights and freedoms, or openly plan to change the moral identity of America, which NGLCC is enthusiastically trying to do, with McDonalds in their pocket, along for the ride. Bye-Bye McD's...I'm no longer "lovin' it"." "I am very disappointed that a business that has always been so family oriented has chosen to support such an anti-family lifestyle. I will not be taking my business to McDonald's again until they change this support stance. J. Wilkie" "I will no longer give my business to McDonalds. Homosexuality is a sin and I will not support any business who supports it. There are numerous other fast food companies that I like Chic-Fil-A, Krystal, Wendy's, Zaxbys. I could go on and on. You'll not be getting my business and I am asking my family and friends to do likewise. Jean Underwood" "I don't know why you people would get involved with this homosexual agenda. You should realize that the MAJORITY of the population is NOT gay and DOES NOT support the gay/lesbian lifestyle and we don't like having our noses stuck in it. I will no longer patronize McDonald's. You people are foolish." "Please do not continue to support the gay and lesbian agenda with your financial support and endorsements. I will not be going to McDonald's until your policy is revoked. Chick-Fil-A is setting a great standard for the fastfood business. Even though their products are a bit more costly, their corporate stance on moral issues has earned my trust...and my money. Dell" "This Country is destroying itself, because we have and are continuing to take God out of the center of it. This Country was built on "One Nation Under GOD" and the Bible destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for such as this. We need to stand strong on God's Word and Instructions." "Throughout most of my life as both a child, young adult and now parent, McDonald's has always been our first choice for fast food. However, another first we strive for is to live our faith. It saddens us to find that McDonald's cares so little about what we value. By this I mean Christian values. It saddens us to see their willingness to support and champion the homosexual agenda. And now, they seem determined to push this agenda upon young families and their children. Knowing this, how can we continue to support and frequent their business? We cannot. Our family has marked Mickey D's off of our list of eateries." "This is too bad. We will not be back to McDonalds until they withdrawal their support for the homosexual agenda, and take a stand for the traditional family." "I'm saddened by McDonalds stand on imorallity. I won't be eating there anymore." "Please reconsider your support of the gay/lesbian agenda. We will eat elsewhere until you do. Thanks." "No more McDonald's 4 me. Change your agenda to a more moral position!" "Healthy families with healthy lifestyles do not subscribe to the agenda of homsexuality. I protest their stealing the word 'gay', by the way. Call it what it is. Homosexuality.McDonald's please endorse healthy families again." "I am so sorry that Mcdonald's has chosen to support the homosexual agenda. We will no longer be taking our grandchildren to McDonald's, their favorite restaurant. You used to stand for good family values. Please reconsider." "The homosexual agenda is all about destroying the traditional family. By McDonalds Company endorsing this agenda throught their support, they are complicit in this agenda. This is an anti-family position. My family will not patronize McDonalds ever again." "My family and I will no longer do business with McDonalds. We do not support the Gay movement and will not be a part of financially supporting such polictical activities. This will be our stance until McDonalds, who has for over 60 years been associated with children, recognizes that they have a moral obligation to the public who patronize their establishment. Ardean and Randa Bench" "I have 7 grandchildren and one on the way. Neither I, my wife, nor any of my 4 daughters and their families will darken McDonald's doors as long as this policy stands. We have found substitutes for Disney, and others, we can much more easily find substitutes for McDonald's." "Its to bad that this has happened becaude my kids enjoyed eatting there anf now my grandchildern also eat there but as of now they willnot not not eat there bwcause I and my grown children will no longer take there to eat Sorry but If you change your mind maybe we will to." "There are more of US, God fearing parents and their families, than there are of your little clan. We pray for you and all of your kind that you will find the light of God's love and not his vengence. So, until you rescind your stand, my family of 5 children, 11 grand-children and 4 great-grand children will no long buy at McDonald's. Sorry your leadership has changed so much. If the Gay community continues, who will you have buying your product? No children will be around to pro-create. Daniel & Shirley Dennis, the Gerdes family, the Diaz family, the Tomasso family, the Bremer family, the Sweetland family, and on and on. Plus - all our friends." "Easy decision! I will be spending my hard-earned money at an establishment that supports family values. You don't appreciate my family - we'll go elsewhere. Let's see...Wendys, DQ, Subway, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell, where to begin?" "I have contacted both McDonald's here in town. Neither manager knew anything about McDonald's support of the Gay Agenda. I supplied the info and told them We would not be back." "Goodbye Ronald and Hamburgler. I once loved taking my kids to McDonalds to visit you guys and eat Big Macs. Those days are now gone due to McDonald's corporate endorsement of the sin of homosexuality. It is very plain and simple for me. There are literally dozens of places to get burgers and fries. As a free American I have the power to choose where to spend my money. Rest assured McDonalds that my fast food dollars will be spent at Hardees, Wendys, Burger King, Sonic, Red Robin, Krystal,KFC, Captain D's, Arby's, Taco Bell, Popeye's Chicken, and so on and so on. Not one more penny of my hard earned money will be spent at McDonald's until they stop supporting homosexuality. Have a nice life Ronald." "Sorry McDonald's, I'm spending my money somewhere else! (lots of other choices)" "I was surprised to read this,I did not know this was going on, I will stop eating at McDonald's from now on.Until it stop that support of gays.Sorry but my faith and God would agree with us all." "My family and I will not shop at any McDonald's in the future due to McD's strong pro-Gay stance. We have the same right to not go there. Too many choices and McDonald's is no longer one of them." "I thought you were a family restaurant but you have proven that you are not. Just to let you know, I will NOT support McDonalds in anyway. You have lost my business, my family, and my friends unless you change your values and support true family values." "I will support my local christian coffee shop owner rather than my drive-thru coffee & Egg McMuffin. Stand back and watch them close!" "This is going to be very hard to do. Our family loves Mickey D's. We will not go again until they change this." "It is always good to know that I have the opportunity to stand up and choose who and what I support. McDonald's has made a poor choice and I will never support the business in any way." "I AM NOT GOING BACK TO MCDONALDS UNLESS THEY REVERSE THEIR DECISION TO SUPPORT GAY AGENDA. GOOD BY MAC." "Disappointed that McDonald's feels they must push this social issue that weakens traditional family and marriage. I cannot support them with my dollars any longer." "My family will no longer do business with McDonalds." "I have been a supporter of McDonald's for as long as i can remember. I have taken my children and grandchildren there. But that all ended as soon as i see their agenda. These corporate clowns make me sick, and from now on i will visit Wendy's and Burger King. What a sad company they have become." "i used to like eating at mcdonalds.no more!" "It is time that we as Americans take a stand and as Christians we also take a stand and say "NO MORE" to immorality and stand firm in the Christian beliefs that established us as "AMERICA". The foundation of our country is based on the BIBLE and our founding fathers are surely shaking their heads at our complacency. It is time to rebuild our values system and give America the back bone it needs to stand up straight and regain our dignity, values, morals, independence and dependence on GOD!" "Your support of this organization is another example of "the tail wagging the dog" that is going on in America today. This is a poor business decision; giving into a minority group in order to "look" politically correct. The large majority of your customers are the middle-class traditional family oriented. Irregardless of your beliefs as to what is right & wrong your decision is not financially sound." "I love McDonald's and so does do my grandchildren, but I will not be taking them to McDonalds again. You have lost a long time customer. Carol" "I wonder what Ray Kroc would have said about this stand?" "I think it is safe to say that my wife and I will not be bringing our three kids back there until they change this stance." "I'm very disappointed to hear that McDonald's is promoting the homosexual agenda. I don't have a problem with employing homosexuals/lesbians as I have a homosexual son. I don't agree with his lifestyle choice but when a corporation comes on board with NGLCC which is in the business to promote their agenda, I find it necessary to patronize other establishments. Normally corporations will market where they can maximize their corporate profits. I don't understand this obvious poor financial choice. I hope their poor choice will effect their bottom line profits. It's too bad that many good people who purchased franchises who are not in agreement with corporate's poor choice will also be hurt." "Dear Mr. Skinner: Your decision to support homosexuality will result in my decision not to support McDonalds. IN addition, I will make every attempt possible to dissuade friends & family from supporting McDonald's as well. Neil Driesen" "Family of 4 not eating at Mcdonalds. I will put my money to whom moral values are upheld, not distorted." "We used to love getting something at McDonalds. Our family will not even consider driving in their parking lot unless and until we hear that they have removed the men and women who are pushing this agenda from McDonalds leadership. The time for being "neutral" is no longer. Take a side. Stand up for real values. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah." "As a Christian I believe that the gay life style is a sin and as the bible teaches God loves the sinner not the sin. I do think we can never close the door on any sinner but we should not condone the sin. As a public figure and leader in this country and watched through out the world your company has responsibility to stand for whats right and not just look at the bottom line when making life changing decisions. Pressures of the world make each of us look closely at what we do and say and not to be hardened or blinded to satin's deceptions. Please do what is right and look at what you are saying and what you are promoting to not only to your customers but to God. It's hard to straddle the fence but it would be what would be best in this case, retract what you have said and review your stand" "There's lots of other eating establishments that will be getting the money I used to spend at McD's (hundreds of dollars a year)." "I've eaten at McDonald's since there was one across the street from my high school in the late 1950's, but I won't darken the door of a McDonald's until the powers-that-be change their policy on their support of the homosexual lifestyle." "What a shame. McDonald's was once the epitome of wholesome family fast food. Now it's a schill. My family and I will find another place ... there are plenty of other choices." "Homosexuality is a sin God condemns in Scripture (Romans 1:24-28 for one). According to Him this lifestyle is wrong, therefore promoting it, as you are doing, is wrong. Today I stop eating at McDonalds and will forward emails to those who believe in Scripture. Your stand in this is totally against what is good and right in this world. God says so....I believe Him." "I will NOT support or patronize another McDonald's until you get your values corrected," "McDonald's has made their choice, and so have I. Bye, bye BigMac!" "Chic Fil A here we come, my family (extended family included) will take our business elsewhere!!! Family restaurant should mean family values not shoving any agenda based group down peoples throat!!!!" "I will not be back to McDonalds. Burger King will get my business. When and if you stop supporting the gay agenda I will consider going back." "I still will not shop at McDonald's" "Well, after decades of support for McDonalds me and my family will no longer spend our money there. They are not a family friendly place and they obviously don't care that traditional families are disgusted by their decision. Looks like Wendy's from now on." "Though my children are already teenagers, we still enjoy going to McDonalds. It’s a place that has always reminded us of family. I cannot for the life of me understand why such a corporation would have to endorse the homosexual lifestyle. Why couldn’t McDonalds just remain neutral? How disappointing; my children and I won’t be back." "A cannot support any firm or business that supports the homosexual agenda. I hope others will do as I and no longer visit your restaurants. I hope the squeeze becomes very hard financially on your company. William Thurman" "Can't just stay neutral in the culture war? No problem- color me McGone." "Too bad you can't see what is happening. There is always Hardys and Burger King." "Christian Values are very important for a company that portrays a family oriented atmosphere. This has changed my mind about eating there again until your choice changes. Good thing there are others Restaurants just as good and some better than you. It won't be hard to stay away. C. Wilson Houma, Louisiana" "Two out of five in our family have started out as McDonald's employees. We have frequented McDonald's 3 to 4 times weekly over the years. Our "family" times at McDonalds are over. Due to your promotion of the homosexual agenda, we will take our business elsewhere. Very, very disappointed in your position on this." "I'm with millions of others who won't dine at Mcdonals anymore, unless you remain neutral in the support of the Gay agenda. Some of still believe that this is a chosen life style and not to be considered normal or natural. The open practice and promotion of such lifestyle is not healthy for our children. Please be neutral and not endorse this movement." "I will not be taking my son to McDonald's anymore becuayse I am a Christian and I don't believein the homosexual agenda at all and neither does Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" "I am sure ray Croc must be weeping with the sad news McDonald's has come so far from it's beginnings. Just like the rest of this country...Not a family friendly place anymore. Thank goodness for Chic Fil A...still true to it's founders beliefs and still VERY VERY profitable" "I will no longer take my children nor support McDonalds as a FAMILY restaurant! FAMILY means Man Woman and Child not the opposite... I'm highly disappointed in McDonalds! What a disgrace!" "No way will I ever go back to McDonalds as long as you support the gay agenda." "It is a sad action for McDonald's to enter the political arena and support groups such as the NGLCC and ignore traditional marriages and values. I believe the loss of revenue from traditional families will affect your bottom line more than yu anticipated or wanted." "I am boycotting McDonalds not because I hate Gay & Lesbians, but because I believe you should not show open support for such a controversial lifestyle. I in no way support that lifestyle and will not support companies who do. I don't want my children getting the wrong message. It is time Christians stood up for what is right. I'm standing tall. I hope you reconsider." "I can not believe how stupid McDonalds is being on this! Are you guys crazy? I mean-I thought McDonalds was MADE for families-obviously not! My family will be chosing Chic Fila from now on!" "We do not support a restaurant that goes along with the homosexual agenda. We will not be eating at Md Donald's." "I am disappointed but determined to avoid McDonald's wonderful fast food until this affiliation with the NGLCC is terminated." "Not all but most gay men are for the group NAMBLA (North America man/boy love Association) and with McDonald's targeting kids in their commercials it is a strange and scary association McDonald's places itself. Until McDonald's denounces the NAMBLA group and any gay agenda I will boycott them. Oh by the way I have a big mouth and I will email and tell everyone I know to boycott McDonald's." ""NOT 'Lovin' it! The McDonalds endorsement for pro gay lifestlye." "Please be neutral in the homosexual controversy." "It is my opinion that the decision by your leaders was a huge mistake and a GREAT DISSERVICe to your franchisees as well as your faithfull customers. As a parent/grandparent I will be missing at all McDonalds. It will not be allowed in my home. In addition I will do all that is in my power to inform those I know, (ie family, friends, organizations etc) information regarding this choice. It is really sad that you have chosen to use your strength in this manor when you chould have remained neutral. lf" "The name McDonalds Restaurant is synonomous with "children". I am disappointed and will not be going to this place until they publicly change their stand to neutral on the gay agenda." "Why not just remain neutral? Supporting the gay/lesbian community was a very foolish and risky corporate decision...I was under the impression that McDonald's was a "family-oriented" organization, especially since at least 75% of your marketing tactics are directed towards our youth.But honestly, I am not surprised. Your corporation is looking at gaining more support from the "less family oriented" members of society. Call it embrasing diversity, call it whatever you want, but I'm going to call it like I see it...CORPORATE GREED...anything to make a buck. I have nothing against gays or lesbians, but do not support that lifestyle. My family and I will no longer by dining at McDonalds. There are far better choices to take my business to that actually provide quality food and much better service. McDonalds, you truly need to reassess your position with this moral issue and realize what a mistake it was." "You, like the unions and other corporations forget there are franchisees who should be your first loyalty. Many good franchisees do not agree. You should stay neutral for them especially but also for the customer of which I and my family of 8 are no longer." "My family and I frequent McDonald's at least 2 times per week. Not anymore. We'll choose Chick-fil-A or Wendy's. What a shame that McDonald's chooses to cave to the homosexual agenda instead of the wholesome lifestyle that it seems to represent." "We can no longer patronize McDonalds since you help support the homosexual agenda. Have you forgotten "family values"?" "Please be advised I will no longer take my Grandchildren to eat at McDonalds as long as your company supports GLBT. My family cannot support their agenda. Thank you D. Mason" "I will not and have not eaten at McDonald's since I heard about their support of the GLBT. I'm totally shocked that they would openly support this agenda." "Why choose to support those seeking to tear apart Biblical mandates for the family? There are many more customers who believe in family-friendly ideals than those of alternative thinking." "It saddens me when McDonalds and other large companies use their weight to promote social agendas. I will no longer be eating at McDonalds until you change your position. Please respect everyone, by staying out of social issues. You can be respectful to all parties by doing so. Sean Warner" "Since McDonald's is putting the NGLCC ahead of everything else, I'll put Mc Donald's behind everything in my life. I will not frequent their abode again." "It is unfortunate that you have chosen to support the Gay agenda. My son would eat McDondalds everyday if he could. Unfortunately he has eaten his last Happy Meal." "I agree with many of the folks writing. I thought you were family friendly, especially with the wonderful Ronald McDonald House. What's a fast food place doing supporting a homosexual agenda? Goodbye McDonalds. Hello Wendys and Burger King. So sad." "So McDonald's has decided to be as foolish as Ford Motor Company. Apparently two VPs there think they know better than the majority and are willing to support the gay agenda regardless of the cost to the company. Will someone please wake up McDonald's CEO, he can't sleep through this mess; he needs to know many Americans care about families!" "I will not be eating at McDonalds until you choose to remain neutral on homosexuality. There are many worthy causes you can put your money into. Being a food business, why not give your money to charities that feed the poor. Children are starving everywhere & you have the financial resources to help these less fortunate. How irresponsible of a "family centered" major corporation!" "I am deeply disapointed in you promotion of this abnormal honosexual life style. I was eating at McDonalds at least 4 or 5 times a week but I have not been in one of your resturants since I found out about your full support of this gay life style. Thomas H GodwinFort Smith, Ark" "Your company protrays a wholesome family image, but you support anti-family agendas.I will nio longer eat or pruchase from your establishments, and encourage my friends and family to do like wise." "When McDonald's first came to our town in 1970, I was one of the original employees. I have always eaten at McDonald's even though the quality of serviace has gone down considerably. This decision by McDonald's to support homosexual behavior ends my relationship with this company TODAY!" "Please be advised that I will no longer eat at McDonalds until you discontinue your support of GLBT. I cannot in any way support their agenda." "I have no patience with any company that willfully supports the homosexual agenda. Until I read about it in the papers or online, or see it on TV, unless there's a retraction AND AN APOLOGY to the multi-millions of our families that use your products, I'm never going to set foot in another McDonald's." "I am emailing everyone now, no more McDonalds. Shame on you." "As a very sucessful fast food resturant over the years that really caters to childres/families, I strongly voice my objection to your support of the Gay agenda!" "I was not surprised that Richard Ellis is gay. That is why his decision was to support the NGLCC. This should be about burgers and fries not homo promo. The families are speaking about their disappointment with McDonald's decision. You should listen or you may find yourself without a job." "Your position is not about diversity, it is obviously one of promotion of a lifestyle that damages the very core of American values: the family. If I found out a friend was gay, I would still remain his friend and support his right to hold down a job without discrimination. I would not, however support his efforts to promote his life style to our country. The cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed by God because of their open flaunting of his laws against such behavior. I do not want the country I love to be destroyed. I will no longer patronize nor allow any of my family to patronize any of your stores." "I am deeply disappointed, but not surpprised. It's such a shame that you are supporting an immoral lifestyle. My family will not be eating at your establishment again." "I'll miss your Asian Salads. I hope you miss my money that bought them." "I tried 3 times to sign the online Boycott & had an error. Rest assured that I am taking part as well. I hope this corporate decision hurts the business to the point that you come to your senses & decide to pull support from this unGodly group." "I've always enjoyed eating at McDonalds and especially enjoyed taking my kids. But I can't support something so detrimental to society as this Gay and Lesbian group. So until you change your support of this group there will be no McDonalds for us. There are plenty of other fast food chains to choose from." "As a former employee of American Heart Association, we were instructed NOT to HAVE OPINIONS about political matters. I'm disappointed and will dearly miss my Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal, Frozen Yogurt Parfait, Value Meals -- $1.00 Cheeseburger -- there are many other options to choose from. I will choose -- just as McDonald's has. What do you think Ray Kroc would say?" "I have lost all respect for mcdonalds they need to stay in the food buiseness and stay out of politics everyone is free to make choices and I feel you have made a costly one." "Well we are done eating at McDonalds. I will no longer takemy children there. Say hello to BK." "I am so tired of the gay/lesbian agenda being shoved down the "normal" family's throat. They just lost our business." "Neither I nor any of my family will buy food from an organization or business who supports the gay agenda. No more Macci Donald's for any of us until McDonalds changes their policies" "We all love McDonald's but, we will go to the BK right across the street until McDonald's is neutral on this issue." "I do not have to support a company that actively undermines my family's morals and beliefs. The smart thing would have been to just stay out of the controversy. However, since McDonald's cannot contain themselves, I will cease to take my 5 children, 4 nieces and nephews and all their various friends to McDonald's. There are plenty of other options for dining out in my community--restaurants that are smart enough to stay out of this cultural war. So long Mc.Donalds." "Family values are more important today than ever before. With all the distractions that children are exposed to mcdonalds is showing no respect to the people that made them what they are today. WE WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER MCDONALDS HAMBURGER OR ANYTHING ELSE FROM THERE!" "I will not spend another dime at Mcd's as long as they continue their support for the Homosexual agenda. Whatever happened to the nice family restaurant it once was?" "I will not be eating at McDonalds again, because I feel strongly that it is wrong for a major corporation to support such an agenda that is against my principles. this will surely hurt you where it hurts-in the pocketbook. So maybe you will reconsider. My grandchildren enjoy Chic fi la more anyway." "If our local McDonald's owner, manager, or workers practiced homosexual lifestyles I would continue to eat there, however, to use McDonald's name and resources to support any immoral lifestyle saddens me. I love and pray for them but will not lend support by eating there." "I suggesst that McDonald's rethink its mission. I thought idea was to sell hamburgers as a business to make a profit. I think you should go back to being great marketers and sellers of hamburgers. Decide what you want to be: a major corporation or a minor cultural warrior. Stay out of politics and culture wars." "lost my business and the business of our soccer team that use to eat at mcdonalds after games" "I am very disappointed to learn that McDonalds is a supporter of the gay and lesbian agenda. I will no longer support your business.I realize my opinion doesn't matter to you. It is because of people like you, we can thank for the moral decay that is overtaking this country." "I'LL SWITCH TO BURGER KING." "I will not be taking my 12 grandchildren to McDonalds again. I'm sorry that you have chosen to support the "gay agenda". I will chose other businesses that just want to "feed America".There are consequences for not choosing God's plan for the family." "It is a sad commentary on your organization that you have chosen to abandon those of us who have supported you over the years!!" "The next gay pride parade like those in San Francisco, I would challenge any corporate office at McDonald's to take their small children or grandchildren to that filthy display and let their children or grandchildren see up close what you are supporting and take pictures of your children or grandchildren while the gays openly practice their sexual activities and displays in public. Is that what you want for your children and grandchildren? Explain that to them while these acts are being publicly displayed." "We haven't eat at McDonald's in a while. I stopped taking my family there when it was evident that McDonald's was supporting lifestyles that are totally against our beliefs. We will not be eating there as long as this goes on. Furthermore, I do tell my friends and relatives." "sorry to hear of another american business placing itself under gods judgement. May god have mercy on you for affirming sin. Sorry Tony my local Mcdonalds owner I will not be eating at your establishment unless they reverse their position & give an equal amount of money to a christian oriented family type of charity." "I WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT MCDONALD'S. I'll let my dollars speak for me. You just lost 11 customers." "We have 7 children, and lots of children live near us! No more McDonald's! We love McDonald's, our first choice for breakfast, lunch and quick dinner! But NO MORE MCDONALD'S till you change your stance! We can live without it!" "I definately have a problem with pushing the BLBT agenda by your corporate support with is with my dollars. Not any more." "I have a small child at home who Loves McDonalds, but we have had our LAST McDonalds meal, whether or not you stay or go with the gays. Your simple act of degrading this country has cost you dearly!" "One sandwich I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember, is the Big Mac. NONE of my family, including my children and their children will be visiting McDonald's in the future. McDonald's has always tried to influence our children, in a positive way. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST THING YOU HAVE DONE, AND I WILL NOT LET MY CHILDREN BE INFLUENCED BY YOU. There goes 5 more Big Macs, and 9 more Happy Meals. I hope the number keeps adding up and your stock drops dramatically. You really should be ashamed of yourselves over this." "My family and I frequent McDonald's and have always loved the food. But we will no longer eat there until they pull their support of the homosexual movement. McDonald's would be wise to consider the financial problems that Ford experienced when that company went against the majority of Americans." "Every person has a right to their sexual preference. Every person has to right to their sexual persuasion in private. For a large commercial enterprise such as yours, what do you hope to gain? Or better still, is it a loss of revenue? You may see, hopefully, the latter. What you are contributing to is, sadly, the destruction of the importance of family, the sanctity of marriage of husband and wife, and children. When companies such as yours support such an agenda, you are contributing to the very thing which destroys a nation, over time. Do we not have enough other problems, such as illicit drugs, etc.? What do you think has held this nation together since 1776? Certainly not the exhibition of gay marriage." "McDonald's has made an extremely sad decision. My children enjoy eating at McDonalds and spending time at the playground. No more!!! Also, we will no longer be sponsoring the Ronald McDonald House. May God deal with you in this sinful decision and stand you have taken." "We like to take our four grandchildren to McDonald's for breakfast on Saturday mornings. I guess we will have to find another restaurant. I'm very disappointed in McDonald's for promoting immorality." "Another American institution going down the toilet." "We're out!! Never Again. Bye bye Big Mac!" "We will avoid your company from now on" "I AM SO VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COMPANY. I WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT YOUR COMPANY, SO YOU CAN USE FAMILY MONEY TO SUPPORT IMMORMAL ISSUES. I WILL HOWEVER PRAY FOR YOU.I PRAY THAT YOUR COMPANY WILL EXPERIENCE SUCH A LOSS MATERIAL WISE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IMMORAL ISSUE THAT GOD WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY" "The Lord Jesus Christ loves sinners and wants us to all turn from our sin and turn to Him. The Bible warns us not to eat anything that has been offered to idols. An idol is anything that attempts to exault its self above and against The King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords (JESUS CHRIST). For these reasons I will no longer eat at McDonalds nor will I take any of my family there. You as a corporation may fear not being politically correct. I fear God for the beginning of wisdom is the Fear Of God. I am not perfect,but I am forgiven. I will pray for a change of heart at McDonalds, but I will not eat there." "I thought you were always family minded. However I see this is no longer true. My grandchildren and I will no longer visit your establisments." "It is sad to see that the political agenda of the McDonald's CEO and other members of management have decided to thumb their noses at the millions of American families who have made McDonald's the success it is. Apparently you don't care about the importance of the traditional family in this country and are eager to support a lifestyle that helps destroy the foundational institution of our culture. You will come to see that your customers can also make a choice to support what we believe and choose to do business with one of your competitors. I have spent my last dollar at one of your establishments." "I wonder if there are enough gays and lesbians eating at McDonald's to make up for the loss of business that there will obviously be from those of us who have family and traditional values. It never ceases to amaze me how such a small minority can be so loud as to have such influence...well, I guess McDonald's will find out how loud we traditional American, core-value, family-oriented folks can be. No more McDonald's for us! Wendy's, here we come!" "Didn't like your food much anyway, but my Grandkids like to stop in sometimes, but no more...We need GOD in every aspect of our lives & even my 4 yr. old grandchild knows that!" "You have made a poor politial decision, but you have made your choice, and I have made mine. Goodbye McDonald's." "I have spent my last dollar at the Golden Arches. My family and I will take our business to your competition and hope they greatly succeed! Families are what makes McDonald's successful, and without our support your business will suffer. We're done with McDonald's until you change your stand and support the family values we support." "I am extremely disappointed to hear that a huge franchise like McDonald's would take a position to support the homosexual agenda!! To think that you would be willing to lose millions of customers and DOLLARS just to make an attempt to be politically correct (incorrect is more like it). Sad to say that me and my family WILL NOT be frequenting your establishments from this day forward and we were regular customers! BAD MOVE MCDONALDS" "I enjoy McDonald's and I have family memebers who have chosen the gay lifestyle. I love my family members but I feel their life style choices are harmful. My signing this petition isn't out of hatred for people living the gay life style but out of a concern for a life style that is harmful. Please do not promote this organization. As long as you do, I will no longer frequent your business." "Our family will no longer be eating at McDonalds. We will also be passing this information along to others. I will not knowingly give money any organization who supports the gay/lesbian agenda." "Wow, I guess Hardee's and BK will get my dollars from now on." "This is one of the most outrageous and stupid decisions that a major franchise could make in relating to it's loyalty base of customers. I am in the US Army and I WILL NOT be eating at McDonalds, and I will be forwarding this information on to my peers and my family. McDonalds is no longer welcome in my home until they refute this agenda for giving abominations before god an equal share of power and/or rights. Homosexuals are made, not born, and they are made because of sexual confusion and absent morality.....Bad Move Ronald" "Though I have enjoyed MacDonalds food as a regular customer for over 40 years, ever suince the 15 cent hamburger days, I am deeply disappointed in MacDonalds support of the GLBT agenda with its corpoprate support. Unless this changes I will be taking my business elsewhere." "My grandkids will not be eating at McDonald's when I take them out for lunch. Further their Parents will be notified of this. That will be 4 less happy meals sold!!!" "I think you have made a mistake by supporing gay rights. Their are more of us, than them and we will no longer choose to eat at McDonald." "I warned McD's that I would boycott their Restaurants. I have not had one meal there in several months. Good bye McD's." "Since you have chosen your customer base to be such as Man Boy Love groups and child predators, our family chooses not to spend our money with any of your restaurants again." "I will not be eating at McDonald's until they stop supporting homosexuals. You have crossed the line from retail marketing to political stances and I believe it to be a huge mistake for you. Sorry!" "Why is it that we have no rights? Those of us that disagree with the choices these big companies make that will affect the young people of America. This is a very good reason for our family to get off fast food for good. I feel we have this whole gay pride issue crammed down our throat. We don't have to patronize restaurants or any other businesses that promote such immoral behavior. Read the Bible!" "I have two young daughters and am a high school math teacher. I'm very disappointed that, rather than just be a vendor, you've chosen to enter the political realm. That is fine. It's your decision. It's also my decision to discontinue business dealings with McDonald's until this policy (NGLCC) is abandoned. What's wrong with just being a business?" "Hardees was the first to loose my $ due to their disgusting sexually explicit commercials & now McDonalds gets the axe for their lack of good moral values by supporting the NGLCC..." "You've made your stand to promote the homosexual/lesbian agenda.I'm taking my stand.-Mcbye" "What a disappointment to hear that McDonald's places political correctness above consideration for traditional families. I have eaten at McDonald's for more than 30 years but I will no longer do so until I learn that you have decided to take a neutral stance in this area. Just stick to making fast food and forget the rest. I've had my last McDonald's double cheeseburger, fries and iced coffee and I will urge others to do the same." "When gays and lesbians aspire to positions of leadership and in a country that protects their rights to use those positions to advance their "religion", then the only thing left for me to do is to vote with my dollars. I will no longer patronize McDonalds. They are free to go their way and I am free to go mine. And that's what I choose. Thanks McDonalds for making it easier for me NOT to get fat." "I join the many others that will no longer support McDonalds due to their immoral political agenda. We will take our business to Chick-Fil-A where we know there is still a food chain that strives for excellence based upon christian values. We will be all the more "helthier" as well." "What are you thinking? Let gays choose their way, but don't pave it for them! I can do without my favorite fish sandwich until you come to your senses. You can be certain that my children and 21 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren will get this message!" "IT's too bad that you have chosen to be "politically correct" rather than take a stand for traditional family values. I hope you took into consideration that most of this country is made up of traditional families and have takes the moral stand. I can promise you that as long as you continue to support gay rights, my family and I will not spend another penny at youe locations. Please reconsider your position." "Unfortunately cannot distinguish between legitimate diversity and debauchery. Our family will try to make McDonalds aware of the meaning of family values by refusing to patronize their franchises." "We're done with McDonald's! Too bad they are losing our business. I'll tell everyone I know about the boycott. What are they THINKING promoting the homosexual agenda?!???!" "My son & I were usually stopping by a McDonald's at least about 3 times a week, until we found out about this union. We have not been back since, & don't intend to as long as the Corp. insists on blatantly supports what continues to tear away the core values of God & our country!" "then McDonalds should not support any outside endevors - including Ronald McDonal House, Sick Kids charities etc" "It'a a sad day in America when you have to choose a place to eat by what the company believes. McDonald's is my favorite breakfast stop in the mornings. I will not stop there anymore, I guess Grandy's or Hardee's will get my business from now on." "It's a commentary when a well-known company such as yours sponsors activities such as the gay pride parade. I feel deeply offended & betrayed. You have always tried to portray your company as family-friendly, but by supporting the NGLCC proves you are NOT anything close to the image you pretend to have. I will never again purchase your products & will pass this on as a warning to all everyone I know so we can all make more informed decisions on where to spend our money." "You have made a very, very bad choice. Now we will make our choice not to eat at McDonalds. Homosexuality is not diversity. It is another very bad choice. God does not make mistakes. He made male and female and not in the same body. This is just another cop-out for lazy people who don't want to take responsibility for their lives. We will not support this. Good bye, McDonalds. I can cook a hamburger myself." "Our family (we have 5 kids ages 7-14yrs) and I will not be eating at McDonalds anymore. Since when does a fast food restaurant need to become involved in supporting the homosexual agenda?!!! Shame on you!!! I will also be passing this info on to friends and family so that they will know what kind of an organization McDonalds really is." ""I am disgusted and disappointed in McDonalds' decision to support the gay agenda. When will marriage and the traditional familybe more important then a political agenda? My business will go elsewhere until McDonalds recends this policy." "I will no longer take my grandchildren, nor godson to McDonald's anymore. I will have to explain to them that McDonald's is determined to make sin ok and it is never ok in God's sight. We do not hate the sinner, but the sin and cannot support any company that supports the sin. Sorry McDonald's. I will be passing this on to all of my friends, family and churchmembers." "No thanks McDonalds, my wife & I, and our 5 married children and their children (12 by the end of the year) will find another company to support! We don't need to promote "the gay lifestyle" to be fair people and employers. Statistics bear out that the best for our young generation is to be born into homes with a father and a mother that are married to eachother! We'll spend our dollars promoting the morality that helped build this great nation!" "My family (2 young children) will eat at alternative burger restaurants vs. the Home of the Happy Meal until your corporate executives decide to rescind their financial support of the NGLCC. I will encourage all my friends and their families to visit other burger restaurants as well. Diversity is fine in the workplace, but using corporate profits to support NGLCC is crossing the line. I will not be surprised when your stockholders join the boycott and sell their McDonald's stock as well. An economic downturn is not a good time to upset your supporters and stockholders. Thank you." "This is just another example of how the devil is fighting against the American family as God intended it to be. "As it was in the days of Sodom and Gomarrah" so shall it be for the homos in the end. We will no longer support McDonalds as they no longer support the American family." "You will no longer receive my business at McDonalds. Have you forgotten the values that is county was founded on? I guess so!!!" "I am totally disappointed with McDonald's position on this cultural issue. An icon of American is deserting proven American values all in the name of "political correctness" and greed. I'm ashamed of you." "Now that you have reaffirmed your support of a preverted and unnatural life style, my grandchildren and my family will no longer visit ANY of your establishments." "This is a sad day in America when a restaurant chain the size of McDonalds and so much a part of our culture chooses to support this organization. I feel there will be major repercussions for their actions as people will no longer see their restaurants as a wholesome place to take their family to eat." "There won't be anymore visits to McDonald's for my family until they change their position. You've lost my business." "I am disgusted and disappointed in McDonalds' decision to support the gay agenda. This is a restaurant, NOT a political arena. My family and I will go down the street to In & Out Burger. No more McDonald's for us!" "For crying out loud. Can someone please support the traditional family? My kids love McD's and will be sad to hear that we can't eat there anymore but they will understand. Here we come Chik Fil A and Burger King! I will be passing this info on to my friends...who also have children!" "I am sorry that McDonald's would rather support a lifestyle against traditional families than have the business of those who have patronized them for years. Sorry that my children can no longer have Happy Meals." "My family of six boys and five grandchildren plus as many of my other relatives that I can convince NOT to eat at McDonalds will ever cross it's threshold again. It does not matter if McD's changes it's mind about the homosexual agenda, they have made their bed and will "lie" in it. I will do my very best to influence my mega church through decons and elders to boycott mcdonalds (no longer deserves capital M) as well as other churches where I have influence. GOOD BYE FOREVER mcdonalds. You are DEAD to my family. Lawrence Evers." "After the book and movie "Fast Food Nation" that was reason enough to boycott McDonald's but now after this announcement of support for the homesexual agenda, rest assured all of my friends and relatives will be made aware. Have fun as your company pays the price." "I agree on supporting diversity but homosexuality is NOT a diversity - they have a choice - you are not Hispanic by choice, it's is your heritage; being African American is not a choice, it is your heritage - BIG difference. Those are minorities. My family will choose NOT to eat at McDonald's until this has changed." "I am happy to boycott Ford, and even happier to boycott McDonalds. I would rather go hungry than support the homosexual agenda. My family will do the same. Thank you American Family Association for your dedication to preserving traditional and, foremost, biblical family values. May God have mercy on this nation." "Homosexuality has no place in the food industry. This is a political agenda and our families don't need to see things morally wrong pushed by fast food restaurants. Let's stick with the real issues, where to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are falling apart from within! I bet you didn't give your franchise owners a chance to make a decision for this action. I'm boycotting McDs which will hurt them as well. Sorry, but it has to be done." "my grandchildren will no longer eat at mcdonalds" "Please do not support the nglcc. As much as we love McDonalds we will not be eating there anymore." "We're done with McDonalds. We've told our kids and they understand. It's pretty sad when your own kids, who would be the first to say 'let's go to McDonalds', are now not even making a fuss about it and would rather go somewhere else." "No Thanks McDonald's - My family of 6 (4 kids 10 & under) will not be frequenting McDonald's. I'll be passing this information on the boycott through my church family. The Higher Ups at MickeyDs must be smoking McCrack." "The gay and lesbian organization is more interested in manipulating our children as a long term goal. I will not stand and patronize a company whose "values" put more interest in moral and ethical corruption "support" than a a p[roven ideal of a father and a mother from the foundation of creation. I am ashamed of McDonalds. Ray Kroch would not approve!" "Me and my family & friends plan to boycott McDonalds on the stand that you have taken with Gay & Lesbian support. I do not plan to financially support an establishment that does this kind of support. I hope enough of us Christians doing this will make you rethink your stand or Heaven forbid you will maybe have to close some locations." "My family and I just returned from vacation, from San Francisco. We vacationed with two other families and ate at McDonald's on at least two occasions and stopped in for soft drinks several other times. We tried the new Southern Style Chicken and we were happy that we wouldn't have to always find a Chick-fil-a, now it seems like we will. Just when McDonalds had won us over again here comes a policy that does not represent the values and views of most of their customers. Since when does McDonalds make bad business decisions by alienating their core customer base?!?" "I am through with McDonald's until they quit supporting the homosexual scene." "It looks like I won't be making our trips to McDonald's after church several times a week. I have been boycotting everything Disney for nearly 20 years because of their support of the homosexual agenda. I have now added Ford and McDonald's to the list. Bye." "God does not despise the gay and lesbian person, He loves all people, but He does despise the gay and lesbian's perveted sexual acts. Rest assured God will no longer allow your company to flourish. I will no longer eat at or take any of my grandchildren to McDonalds to eat. I will be passing the word to all my email friends!!" "I am sad that a "family" restaurant would speak out and want to protect sexual activities in the community, what is next, a full support for prostitutes and people who want to have affairs on their spouses? Are these really issues your company wants to support? What does sex and their preferences have to do with eating at breakfast lunch or dinner? Why not concentrate on the quality of food products, not sex! What are you really selling anyway?" "Just one more incidnet to support the ever declining condition of the morals in this country, God will prevail in the end. I will not support McDonalds as long as it take this stance, it makes my heart sad" "Homosexuality is offensive to GOD! My family of 7 will continue to boycott McDonald's and Proctor & Gamble in order to support families and protect marriage between 1 man & 1 woman. ALL of us will stand in judgement one day before God, each according to his own deeds! I pray for the souls of those who are promoting that which is offensive to God!" "My family and I will NOT be eating at McDonald's. untill they stope this. I will tell every one I know." "Since I do not want my money supporting Mcdonalds stupid decision, I shall take my family elsewhere to eat. Burger King here we come! Its too bad, Mcdonalds is right down the street and we would go there three times or more per week! Poor decision making on your part. Your decision is supporting diversity! Shame on you!" ""Sorry to hear about this reaffirment of your stance and for you guys to be so proud of your sponsorship of the parade in San Francisco too. Guess I won't be eating in your restaurants...."" "My children love the Happy Meals!! Oh well, we have many other nice restaurants around. Please stop supporting the gay agenda!!!!!" "I got rid of my Ford while they supported this same thing, now I'll be getting rid of McDonalds also. This is a dangerous and deadly lifestyle. It is not natural or normal. Bye,Bye" "Since McDonald's became a political opponent, known to me on April 4, I have not eaten any of their food. One other family joined my boycott at that time." "I guess I will stop eating at the queens and start eating only at the King. I love your food but not at this cost of family." "My family will no longer purchase anything from our 3 McDonalds since they will not stop financially supporting the homosexual agenda. If everyone who has eaten at McDonalds would stop eating there, they would begin to lose weight and would enjoy a better life. Goodbye McDonalds and good ridance!" "Burger King gets my money. It isn't that I dislike homosexuals, it's just a matter of why a corporation like McDonald's finds it necessary to support that cause. It was nice for many years Mickey "D"s, but no more." "I am so very disappointed that your corporate office would take such a stance as supporting homosexuality. You are putting yourself in the bedroom with the gays and lesbians and flaunting it in front of this nation and its people. My family will not be purchasing any more of our meals from McDonald's until this public stand is removed and the issue resolved for McDonald's to be the family restaurant that it was meant to be. May your eyes be opened to the sin that you are applauding and promoting." "Good Bye Mickey D's. I loved your cheeseburgers but no more. My heart goes out to those who own franchises. Sherry Pensacola, FL" "I cannot believe McDonald's would support something so morally wrong. We won't be eating there anymore." "Our family of 7 eat at McDonalds quite often. However, we will no longer be a customer as long as you continue to PROMOTE homosexuality." "I live in a small town where there is on two burger places. McDonalds and Hardees, I will be going to hardee until this foolishness stops." "My husband and I really enjoy breakfast Sat. mornings to McDonald's. We will not be doing that until McDonald's stops supporting the gay agenda." "And I was just getting ready to buy McDonald's stock." "I thought McDonalds stood for family and little kids! I'm very disappointed to see this company sell out family values for a cultural war movement, and abandon their family values. What deamon(s) took posession of this company? They can support anti-family causes all they want, but my family may never enter a McDonalds again because of it. God says it's wrong, so it's wrong. "Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20" "You are where you are because of the support of traditional American families. My family members and I will no longer support you, your establishments or your homosexual stand! You are wrong. . END OF STORY!" "What a foolish businesss decision. Why don't you actively support groups that are actually doing some social good, like Catholic Charities or Samaritan's Purse? This is clearly a conflict of interest on the part of some of your employees. I will no longer go to McDonald's restaurants until you rescind this obnoxious policy." "Ray Kroc would rollover in his grave...Shame on you! We are done eating at McDonalds!" "Regardless of your opinion about God, history has proven that NO society that has supported homosexual behavior within its citizens has ever survived. In fact, history has proven that every society that has decided to approve homosexual behavior has dissolved within a short period of time. It looks like God has spoken throughout history. Do you really think you are so smart that it won't happen here?? I have eaten my last McDonald's food. I have sold my McDonald's stock. When an organization values its political opinions and pride over truth and its customers, it should suffer the consequences. You people get stupider every day. Dwight Southerland, Conway, AR." "McDonald's Corp, you can chose to support the Homosexual Agenda, but you make the choice to lose my business indefinitely. What a shame! Disgraceful!!" "It is a gross abortion of corporate responsibility for McDonalds to actively promote the homosexual agenda using the profits from sales to millions of customers who strongly oppose that same agenda. I have two children. My entire family will now seek alternatives to McDonalds, such as Carls Jr. We refuse to be used against our own values by McDonalds. I am committed to passing the word to my extended family as well." "I and my family eat at McDonald's on a regular basis. But, no more. You have lost another customer. McDonald's is no longer "America's Restaurant", but instead has become a perversion. You will reap what you sow." "Sorry to hear about this poor choice in judgement. McDonald's has been a part of my life since the 1970's. I'll be making other choices." "I have been a long time customer of McDonald's & it was a favorite place to visit for my children. We will no longer be customers until McDonalds withdraws their support for the gay agenda & once again supports family values." "We are very disappointed in McDonald's recent choice supporting homosexual agenda. Though our family frequented your stores, we will not be doing so in the future. Sorry." "I started eating at McDonald's when the sign said Millions sold. I always took my kids to McDonalds. However, i will NOT be taking my grandkids to McDonalds when you openly support a lifestyle i do not agree to. Goodbye McDonalds, Hello Burger King and subway." "Eating out is such a treat for our 10 grandchildren, but never again at McDonalds." "All McD's had to do was stay neutral...but for some insane reason, they have chosen not to...therefore, as for me and my house, we will CHOOSE NOT to eat there." "I have not gone to McDonalds since this whole thing started. I found the other fast foods very good. I use to go to McDonalds about 3 times a week, so at the beginning this was hard, but not anymore." "I am so disapointed that you choose to support the Gay Lesbian community over the majority who support family values......what our nation was built on... Christian values...I will no longer go to McDonalds and help to financialy support destructive behavior. I pray that McDonalds will use their resources to better help the poor, student workers programs, etc. Golden Arches you have failed in staying neutral and serving families with good values and standards!!" "I have enjoyed eating at McDonald's for many years. I will no longer bring my grand children to eat at McDonalds until they stop supporting the Homosexual Agenda"." "My health conscious husband will be thrilled to know that I will no longer be having an meals with our three children at McDonalds's. Fortunately for us, there still are Chick-fil-a, Wendy's, Burger King, and a host of other franchises to frequent until McDonald's gets the message and returns to supporting the majority and not the obnoxiously loud minority of gays and lesbians that believe the world should revolve around them and their agenda." "I'm terribly disappointed in your actions that are an affront to the American family....the ones who line your pockets. Well, starting now...I won't be helping put money in your coffers so that you can send it to homosexual causes. We're done with McD." "My family of 9 will not eat at McDonalds anymore due to your support of things that are an abomination to our God. God doesn't hate the sinner, but He hates their sin. Do not support them and stand behind them. You will stand before the throne one day and you will be held accountable." "I will not go to McDonald's untill McDonald's change it's support of the homesexual agenda. I will urge all my family and friends to not go to your establishment." "My grandkids always love the happy meals, but we will switch to another place of business that sticks to just making burgers and fries and do not take on the support of an immoral lifestyle." "My family and all my friends are in agreement against your support and will not be shopping with you again!" "O how I hate to give up my bacon, egg and cheese breakfast...it is absolutely my favorite. Please let me know when you quit supporting the Gay movement so I will be able to eat it again." "Not only is McDonalds food unhealthy because of all the processing and chemicals to preserve to food, they now support a immoral agenda. Just another reason to stay away. Thank you for making my decision easier." "My family is through eating at any McDonal's PERIOD!" "As a mother of 4, grandmother of 7 and an educator, Mcdonald's is now off my list of places to eat due to its homosexual stance. Sorry to hear you have deserted your values for those who made you what you were, a core family value company" "When will these people get the message. There are so many opportunities out there for companies such as McDonalds to support. Opportunities that are family focused and moral. It is a shame McDonalds chooses to support such an immoral cause as the NGLCC. Until they drop support of this issue, I will no longer spend any money at McDonalds." "My family, my two married sons, and my grandchildren have had our last stop at your stores. The thought of what you are promoting makes me sick to my stomach. A big mac will never look the same. J. Sharrock, Blairsville, GA" "My 5 year old grandson will be crushed and won't understand when I tell him he can no longer have Happy Meals! The Bible says that homosexualty is a sin and a abomination. We are christians with 12 grandchildren, all of which love McDonald's. You will no longer get any of our money. We live in a very small town with limited fast food, but we will survive! I doubt you will if you do not change your policy!" "Get real. McDonalds used to be a family orientated business. Now this deviation from the norm?? Unbelievable. You have deserted the public forum that built McDonald's Success. Take Ford Motor for example in lost sales." "My family has been supporting your company since 1960. We have also supported Wendy's and will now exclusively support Wendy's because of your choice to not stay neutral about the minority homosexual group you now choose to support. I guess it is worth it to you. I will put my money where my mouth is and support any company who supports families and children safely and listens to their customers when they suggest healthy changes. Your choice is unhealthy and so I choose to pass this on to family and friends all over the world." "Enough is enough. I know homosexuals of whom many are close freinds and family members. Since when does someone's sexual preference have to become a social issue? And why would your food business get involved in this issue? I lead a non-profit foundation reaching over 3 million children. I will recommend to my board that we avoid any involvement with McDonalds until you decide to get out of the promotion of the homosexual issues. You have just lost millions of dollars! Love all people but don't promote unhealthy and abnormal behavior." "I don't understand why you can remain neutral on this issue. What about more important issues such as the environment? We will no longer support McDonalds and your agendas!" "We began a semi-boycott of Mcdonalds in January after learning how unhealthy the food is, now we will make a full boycott. Chick-Fil-a here we come!" "I believe that out of being uninformed, McDonald's has chosen to make this stand. I do not hate homosexuals, and God does not hate homosexuals. But, He does hate the sin that they involve themselves in and just as Sodom and Gomorrah was judged for this same sin, so America and every person who condones it will be judged. God loves us just as we come to Him, but He also does not leave us as we come but He betters us. McDonald's will loose a lot of business behind this; my prayer is that you remember allegiance to the One who matters most...Almighty God! Chrystal Hammond; Tampa FL" "I will no longer support McDonald's since you insist on your support of homosexuals. That goes against my Christian belief. I will no longer eat ant your resturant." "My husband and I travel a lot and we use to always hunt up the local McDonalds no matter where we were. But I hawn't been inside one of your establisments since reading of your support of the Gay movements. And we won't frequent them unil we hesr that you have withdrawn your suopport. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN and have many friends doing the same thing. Wake up!!" "I will BOYCOTT McDONALD'S for as long as it supports the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA!! I will not eat there again!! You lost my business!!!" "I have four young children. We go to McDonald's several times a week. However, we will be choosing another restaurant until this changes." "My family, as well as, friends, relatives, etc. will not longer do business with an establishment that proudly endorses "homosexuality". God's word says it is wrong and a sin. And with McD's clearly not caring about the majority of people on this matter and going with a minority that is so lost and wrong, shows they don't care about the rest of us. So, we will not be making any stops at McDonald's and neither will millions of others just like my self. People with values can and will standup for what we believe also!" "This is a sign that your business is on the down hill." "We have 8 children and my kids love eating at McDonalds. I'm appalled that a supposedly family-friendly corporation would choose to support the homosexual agenda and we won't be spending our money at McDonalds. What kind of message would that send to our children?!" "Since McDonalds no longer supports family values, my families money will no longer support McDonalds." "We are sad but have no choice but to sign the boycott for McDonalds. In our case, there is also a $ value attached to our choice for righteousness. We live in a small Missouri town near other small towns and McDonalds gave us the best value for our dollars. We cannot go to Wendy's on slhpping days, because Wendy's is 30 miles away. Also, we know the local managers of our McDonald's may be fine folks and are also a victim of the corporate decision. Praise the Lord that we still can make a stand for righteousness. John & Joyce Tracy" "My wife is gonna hate me, but we are done with McDonalds until they change their stand on this issue." "Me or my family will not eat at McDonalds untill they are for the family not against them!!! No more BIG MACS" "Immorality breeds immorality and I prefer not to patronise corporations which contribute to the breeding of immorality, such as homosexuality." "We will no longer patronize McDonald's. Ed & Carolyn Serrano,Hendersonville,NC" "Your stand is reprehensible and I am through with McDonald's because of it." "I cannot in good conscience support the homosexual agenda and that's what I would be doing by spending my money at McDonald's." "Mcdonalds will no longer receive any business from my family at all. I would not spend any more with your company now even if you print a memo saying you will stop, because it will just be political expediency type thing and you'll just continue in secret because Mcdonalds executives must be gay." "I am very disappointed in your choice to finacially support homosexuality. It is difficult for me to understand how anyone can support such behavior or any other destructive behavior. My family and I will no longer have breakfast or lunch or dinner in your restaurants. I did not imagine ever making this decision but you have made a choice and so must I." ""Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world ... and we do." Hmmmm....socially responsible to turn America into the unhealthiest nation? Good job McDonald's!! With that in mind, it's obvious where your homosexual stand will take America too? What say you?" "McDonalds: trying to be "diverse" and supporting the gay agenda is an oxymoron in my opinion, because that goes against people of moral or Christian values. To stay neutral in such a controversial issue would be more diverse - pleasing both parties. But, since you want to use consumer money to support such an immoral agenda - I won't be a consumer of your classic chicken sandwich anymore! For all I could think about as I'm eating that sandwich, would be, how the money I just spent went to NGLCC. So, McDonalds, you won't be getting my money or my husbands any longer. I choose not to support ungodly, AIDS/HIV causing lifestyles. USE YOUR SIZE AND RESOURCES TO GIVE TO THE POOR, THE HUNGRY...after all, you are in the food industry." "I will no longer buy from, or take my kids to, McDonald's. Once again, A very small group of people are highjacking a great American tradition. Fortunately today, there are many great companies to buy from like Chick Fila. Hopefully McDonald's will come to ther senses and see their mistake. I intend to make sure all my friends get this info. I can promise you, we can find other places to eat fast food!" "We attended McDonald's almost every Sunday night after church. We will no longer be doing so. We will be supporting the boycott until McDonald's makes a choice to be neutral corporately in the issue of homosexuality. I am not opposed to them working there. I am not opposed to them eating there. That is not the issue. The issue is the corporate support of a lifestyle that many of us- including many franchise owners and other employees- still consider offensive and wrong. The homosexual lifestyle is filled with high risk behavior and illness. Why encourage people to hurt themselves? This is not a family-friendly decision. So I not longer consider McDonalds a family-friendly choice." "As long as McDonalds supports the Homosexual agenda, I will not nor will my family eat at a McDonalds restaurant." "Bye,bye, McDonald's. See you around." "As long as McDonalds is supporting a homosexual agenda my family will not be getting happy meals. I will send email to all my family and friends. Is horrible, you are suppose to be "family oriented" not sex oriented." "No more McDonalds for my family! I am sick and tired of the gay agenda trying to force their lifestyle on the majority of the public. What they do privately is their business, but if I'm forced to make a moral decision about the gay and lesbian lifestyle, I will never except it. It is wrong and is not normal and degrading to society!" "As an American citizen, wife, parent of 3, Sunday School teacher, and orginizer of church functions, it is sad to have to come to the conclusion to no longer give any support to a longtime family tradition. McDonalds has been our choice of eatery for birthday parties, church parties, quick meals and especially drive thru service. However, we will no longer be a customer of McDonals. Our boys are of the age of 22 yrs, 21 yrs and 17 yrs. They fully understand our decision, and even tho it is somewhat of a disadvantage at times, they fully support it, also. As future parents themselves, it is our sincere prayer that they will continue this boycott as they begin to have their own family and I feel very strongly that they will. We love all people, but we know that God does not condone this lifestyly and neither can we nor those who openly support it." "My family will no longer eat at McDonalds. We will encourage others to do the same." "Now that McDonalds have made the decision to take a position against those of us that made your Company what it is by your support of NGLCC. We will now make the decision to boycott your company and in addition we will agressively encourage others in our community,churches,and all liitle league sports teams to boycott your establisments as well......Hope you are prepared to live with your wrong decision in this matter. We are a big,bold,powerful group and you may never recover from the lost business due to your thick headed and stupid decision...." "Since your company claims to be so community conscious, I'd like to know how much are you donating to any of the existing Religions; Catholic, Christian, Jewish, etc. And, by the way it saddens me to see that a company such as McDonald; "family/children" food place would jeopardize the "family" image any child should be afforded. May God enlighten your executives in making such decisions to corporately and publicly endorse "marriage" between people of the same sex. Nothing about gay . . ." "Count me out McDs. While I consider myself a good neighbor to my fellow man I can not in good concience spend money in a place that suports the promotion of the unnatural act of homosexuality. Your financial backing of the "Gay" rights movement goes beyond getting along with ones neighbor, and when I have a choice my money will not go to the direct purposfull promotion of a lifestyle that so blatently flies in the face of God. K. Ford" "Sorry McDonald's you just lost other family." "I will no longer stop at any McDonald Restaurant. You are destroying the fabric of America by choosing to support the Gay/Lesbian effort." "Our three families (totaling 14) will not give our monies to McD any longer. We love and pray for the homosexuals, but do not agree with what how they choose their lifestyle. So if you are dependent on them, they have no future generations, and you will go bankrupt. Your loss." "Goodbye McD...so sad for the choice you've made! You'll see that Christian boycotts really do work as we all band together. Remember Ford! We did it..no more of our family money will be spent at the arches..." "No company, government, corporation or person should go against God's Word in the Bible. God's Word is the FINAL answer. No more McDonald's for me!" "My family and I will no longer spend our money at McDonalds. I don't understand why a publicly traded company chooses to promote the gay agenda and alienate those of us whose values are oppossed to this anti-family agenda. We will be spreadinng the word on your decision to disregard the values of the majority of your customers." "Our family eats at McDonald's several times a week. We will no longer support McDonald's until their support of the homosexual cause ends." "It looks like me and my family will be going to other fastfood restaurants. I am very disappointed in your choice to support the homosexual agenda. We will be looking for our iced coffee elsewhere. Loved your McFlurries too! Looks like your losing a lot of business..God sees and knows everything!!" "Christians, let's get this straight, God LOVES homosexuals, just like he loves you and me. Homosexuality will always exist, but it shouldn't be glorified as a perfectly fine alternative to marriage between a man and woman, because it's not. McDonald's is not doing anybody a favor by affirming the practice of homosexuality." "Good bye from a family of five." "I am sorry to see McDondalds cave into the radical homosexual agenda. Because of you, along with FORD, and other major corporations, America will pay a painful price for this. Remember, that it is the Amercian people who put the $ in your pockets. Quit abusing your priviledge! I pray for you and your salvation through Christ. Then, will you see the Truth of what you have done. May the God of heaven have mercy on your souls." "I will not spend my dollars at McDonald's as long as they support Homosexuality. Let their gay clients support their business yet they only represent a small percentage of America's population. You cant run a business on their meager percentage just as you cant dictate America's values by supporting them." "My family (5 of us), another family (4 of them), another family (6 in that family), another one (5 in theirs), and one more (4 of them), as well as the youth group that I mentor (many) will no longer spend our dollars at MickeyD's. Will miss the fries, Wendy's here we come!" "I will no longer be eating at McDonalds, nor my family and friends. Homosexuality is against nature and God! Shame on you!" "as long as you maintain this homosexual agenda we will no long take our grandchildren to your establichments. Dennis" "No longer will I be eating at McDonalds. I am letting everyone I know to boycott McDonalds. I know my grandchildren will not be eating there either. It's a sad day to hear you have to take a stand on deviate sexual behavior and proclaim it to the world." "How dare McDonald's representative state that since I don't condone their sponsorship of homosexuals that it means I hate. This is a huge leap and a totally illogical one at that. I don't hate anyone; however, I do not and a will not condone and accept homosexual behavior. I will not support businesses that have shifted to support and advertise this behavior either. My family will not eat at this establishment until McDonald's realizes that this policy that embraces homosexuals turns its back on families. McDonald's management has obviously forgotten their roots, that families are what have brought them their success. Turning their back on families is really a sad statement about their long-term business plans." "I will no longer go to McDonald when the claim to be a "Family" company and then support sodomy. What will be next support of pedophiles?" "My children love to go to McD's. Sadly, our family of 9 will no longer spend any money in your establishment." "I will not spend my dollars at McDonald's as long as they support Homosexuality. Let their gay clients support their business yet they only represent a small percentage of America's population. You cant run a business on their meager percentage just as you cant dictate America's values by supporting them." "Im sorry that McDonalds has chosen to do this, I grew eating at McDonalds but have boycotted them now for 3 months and will continue to do so" "I will no longer purchase anything from McDonalds Bob Boles Silver Point, Tennessee 38582" "I am very disappointed in your decision not to remain neutral and to support homosexuality. Maybe you should check with the Ford Motor Co, and see where it has gotten them. I will not be supporting your restaurant until this changes." "I am truly sorry that McDonalds has decided to support the gay agenda. My husband and I eat there nearly everyday. From this point on, we will not!" "You don't seem to understand, McDonald's Corporation Leaders. It is not that any of us hate the people who call themselves homosexuals. It is that we must not support the lifestyle that is so opposed to God's teachings. Both of the above statements are based on God's will for us, not our own personal preferences. We will pray for you." "As an American I work hard for my money and I choose who to give it to. It will not be given to McDonalds to promote Gay and Lesbian pride. I fed my children there alot. No more. I have not eaten there since AFA brought to our attention the money given about 2 months ago. My four children love the food but have happily given it up for the last 2 months when I explained to them why. We lasted this long so far I'm sure we will have no problem holding out longer. If McDonalds won't become neutral we won't eat there ever again." "Well, there's one more reason NOT to eat there ever again!" "We have McDonald's in our town of Gilman, Il., butI am very sad to say we will not be patronizing the resturant any more. We hav 2 children and 3 foster children who we are trying to raise with strong morals and this is a moral issue. I am very disappointed to hear that McDonalds is supporting this issue when they are children oriented I thought. D.M." "McDonalds is known to be an American tradition and today is a sad day for me and my family. We will not be able to support your business anymore. Why you are catering to the gay community and not the straight community is mind boggling. If enough of the Staight community STOPS buying from McDonalds hopefully OUR message will get out. STOP ruining this beautiful country with decaying morals and life styles. There are enough fast food chains like Chic Filet that we will gladly support." "We are very regular Mc Donald's customers, but not anymore. Our Family of 6, will take our business to Wendy's, Burger King and Taco Bell until you choose to remain neutral on this issue of homosexuality. S. Schmaltz" "I am sorry but I can no longer patronize your facilities nor can I remain a supporter of the Mcdonald House. Your loss" "I personally do not eat at McDonald's but my grandchildren do. Not anymore since you stand for gays. Doesn't marriage stand for anything to you?" "I am still not understanding that as a company that has the Playplace and Happymeals-a company that has until now catered to families, why you would choose to support something so far from family values, and then be so adament in your support. Hopefully there will be more homosexuals that are willing to come to your establishment because you are certainly losing families. I have passed this information on to my friends, and my family will not be spending another dime in a McDonald's until you change your way of thinking. Wait, what was that....oh yeah, that was my car passing your restuarant on the way to another to give them my money. I hope this movement truly hits you where it hurts...in your wallet." "We are saddened to have to boycott McDonalds and do not object to the company treating homosexuals fairly but fell it is wrong for a business geared to families to support the gay agenda. We have njoyed many years of patronage but will bring that to a close." "No more McDonald's for me, Jack in the Box will do just fine!" "It's too bad you do not realize that most of America, has family values that do not include Homosexaulity, which is morally wrong and will lead the the Moral decay of America. I am standing up for what is right. We can get our Bugers elsewhere!" "Why would a place like McDonald's, who cater to children, get involved in something so delicate. SHAME on you. We will be glad to participate in the boycott." "My children & grandchildren love to go to McD's. Unfortunately, our family of will no longer spend any money in your establishment. It is such a sad day that a supposed "family" company would bow to the influence of a minority population rather than the opinions and values of the majority of Americans. I will be spreading this boycott across the US to all family and friends. How terrible to have to explain to my grandchildren why Mickey D's is no longer an option."" "What's good for the goose is good for the gander, or more plainly put, this active support of the NGLCC is hypocritical. Equal rights and political correctness should apply to all, not just Christians. If McDonald's openly and fearlessly supported James Dobson, you would cry the loudest. We will choose other places to eat and take our children to play." "Today, my 6 yr old graddaughter & I decided we would not eat at McD anymore. I was so proud of her for making that decision without even giving it a seconds tho't. We go to church every Sun and then straight to McDs where we eat and have fun. I haven taken my children, grandchildren and great grandson for years, but I cannot in good conscience take them to a place that promotes a destructive lifestyle, intent on destroying the family.I will continually pray for all you at McDs and everywhere who have chosen to destroy yourselves and the American family. Linda M" "Thank goodness I found out what your company really stands for. We will not spend another penny there." "I have enjoyed taking my grandchildren to McDonalds for a long time, my oldest is 20, but no more, I can not trade with a company who evidently has no moral christian values." "I'm going to miss my breakfast burrito's & coffee but I will not support your support of antifamily issues." "my family will no longer support McDonald's or any of their products. My grandchildren will have to accompany us to wendy's they are young but they need to understand at an early age to make a choice of christian values. There is nothing about homosexuality that is of any value." "My children love to go to McD's. Sadly, our family of 6 will no longer spend any money in your establishment. It is such a sad day that a supposed "family" company would bow to the influence of a minority population rather than the opinions and values of the majority of Americans. I will be spreading this boycott across the US to all family and friends. How terrible to have to explain to my children why McD's is no longer an option." "Anything to make a dollar. All in the name of money. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 3 months, nor will I or my family give the "golden arches" any future business. "Have it your way" McDonalds. We are truly disappointed in a company that chooses to promote unhealthy, anti-family issues which erode our society. Homosexuality is wrong, immoral and goes against Biblical principals. The Holy Bible clearly states it is a sin and is wrong. Shame on you corporate heads of McDonalds. Some day the arches may erode thanks to decisions you are making." "THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THERE WILL BE NO HOMSECTUALS IN HEAVEN. WE WILL NOT EAT AT MCDONALDS AGAIN UNTIL YOU GET YOUR MIND STRAIGHT. THIS IS SICK." "I will not support such an agenda. I personally don't have anything against gay people, but it is not the way God wants it to be. It is not an alternative lifestyle, it is the wrong lifestyle. Until, MCDonald's chooses to end their support of such a cause, no more of my money." "Dear McDonald's, I'm sorry that you have chosen to support the values of a small segment of our population--knowing that their values are oppossed to the vast majority of the population. When a person or a company decides to do those things that are forbidden by God, they reap the benefits. Though I have patronized your company the world over, I will no longer do so. I am saddened thay you would act so unwisely." "My grand children and I will no longer eat at this liberal agenda busines!!!! Perhaps the move by McDonalds is representative of the true character of their management... a real sick bunch!" "Your actions are unbelievable. It doesn't make good business sense to take a cultural stand on this issue. There are more of us than there are of those you are supporting. I've made my last visit to McDonalds and advising friends and family of your actions." "I am deeply disturbed to find that McDonald's is actively supporting NGLCC. Because your corporation makes that choice, I am notifiying you that my family will no longer eat at a McDonalds restaurant. There are plenty of other fast food restaurants in our area that are just as fast and cheap! Your loss!" "Words cannot express my disappointment with companies determined to support any organization in order to gain business! Guess what? You just lost mine!" "Well, I have had my last meal at McDonald's. What a sad day indeed! No more gift certificates for friends and no wonderful fries for me." "I am really surprised at McDonald's. It is a real disappointment. After hearing this, my family will no longer be eating there." "After all the good McDonalds has done with the Ronald McDonald House and the help this has given people and then for them to support this cult. This is so wrong and as for me and my family we will NOT purchase a single product from them again." "Obviously you have no corporate morality - but you have no business sense either. Don't you realize that families with children are your biggest consumers? This is an afront to decent families everywhere and our family will not be eating at a McDonalds anyway again.I will also forward this to everyone I know." "Words cannot express my disappointment with companies determined to support any organization in order to gain business! Guess what? You just lost mine!" "I have eaten lunch at McDonalds several times a week for years. I will gladly give up my quater pounder to boycott McDonald or support the homosexual agenda. Did you not learn from watching Ford. The moral majority is what supports organizations such as McDonalds. Long time icon in business. Drop the agenda or lose the business - you decide. Not the only hamburger joint in town." "What a disappointment that McDonald's couldn't just focus on providing some good meals rather than promoting lifestyles that are unhealthy physicaly and morally." "I love eating at McDonalds,Not so anymore" "How sick! I am surprised after all these years of enjoying McDonald's food since I was a child. Now as a mother and my husband agrees, we will boycott McDonald's as long as they are promoting the homosexual agenda, basically to destroy traditional marriage, family values and moral values. Our own kids' future and the future generation(s) of our American culture are worth more to me than buying happy meals. Our kids know of God's sovereignty and they will understand our decision to do this until your organization's position changes. There's always In-N-Out burgers!" "What a dissapointment! My wife and our three daughters have enjoyed the treat of going to McDonald's for years. I estimate that we probably spend at least $1000.00 per year in meals. Not anymore. McDonald's is a publicly owned corporation. I'm sure the majority of shareholders would be against the companies stance. Wow, what a sad day in American business!" "After hearing of McDonald's support of the homosexual lifestyle my family will no longer eat there. I will not support any business that has policies that go against the traditional American family." "I am saddened to learn that McDonald's restaurants have decided to support the homosexual agenda. I am also sorry I contributed to the vast resources McDonald's has with which to support the NGLCC. While I love every human being, I do not support the actions of anyone who deliberately works against God's ways. Thus, I will not be supporting McDonald's with my business at this time." "Goodbye, No more McDonalds for us." "Since you have started this campaign, I nor my family has visited a McDonalds, and I will assure you that until you change your mind we wont be back." "The Capans in Columbus, GA with a 10 year old daughter are saying "goodbye" to McDonalds. Homosexuality is immoral and although everyone has the right to do as they please, we do not condone this type of behavior. You are now stating this is fine and that the entire world should be okay with this. You should now market your place only to homosexuals and see how you expand or close down, whichever way the wind blows for you." "I and my family have not patronized McDonald's since I first read of their support of the homosexual rights movement. We also did not patronize Ford during the boycott. I hope McDonalds changes its policy, but am ready to go the rest of my life without McDonalds as part of it." "No more McDonald's for my family. We will support family supporting franchises which is no longer your company." "To Whom it may concern: I have been a life long patron of McDonalds. I am a husband and father of three. I am boycotting your business until you decide to stay neutral to cultural and moral issues. You have made your decisions to choose sides on an issue that has nothing to do with hamburgers. In fact if left to your decision there will not be a next generation to eat your hamburgers. You will find that it is families who support your business." "As long as McDonald's supports the homeosexual movement I will not step foot in another one of your establishments." "I have a family of 6 with 4 children who love to eat at McDonalds. But your open support of Gay and Lesbians has changed that. We will no longer give our money to your organization. Their are many other eating establishments that stay neutral on this matter, and they will get our money from now on. I am also a Pastor of a large church and will pass this on to our congregants. In my opinion, big mistake. Tyler Kirby" "We will no longer go to McDonald's and it stinks to have to explain to an eight year old why we no longer choose to go there. McDonalds should be in the business of serving burgers; not a political agenda. How tragic!" "I've been avoiding McDonald's because I don't think their food is healthy. Now I have a reason that my kids will understand and comply with." "I hope McDonald's doesn't view this boycott as a form of unfair prejudice. This is not about hating homosexuals (I personally know a few gay people who I happen to also like as people), but this IS about taking an honest look at a lifestyle that is destructive to both its participants and any affected children. For that reason, I cannot support McDonald's as long as it supports the homosexual lifestyle." "My family and I loved McDonalds. We went there at least once or twice a week. Now i will choose a place that fully supports the family and has a family atmosphere. I will NOT let my money go to support something that not only goes against nature, but also goes against God. I will choose to reward my family with a place like Chick-fil-a!!!!" "I am the mother of 4 children and 7 grandchildren. I was at McDonald's the day President Kennedy was shot and heard it on the news while waiting for my order. I have been a happy patron for many years, but will no longer walk through the doors or pull thru the drive-in at a McDonald's again, as long as you support the GAY Agenda. McDonald's is no longer a Family oriented place to take children. I have just abandoned FORD for the same reason. I am sending this out to my entire email address list. McDonald's has made a very costly mistake. DGW, Geogia" "I am shocked that a family oriented business would support the issue of gaay and lesbians. I will no longer eat at your restaurant and neither will my extended family. What is happeneing in our world when big businesses support such a sinful thing? Burger King, here we all come!!!!!" "I will not eat at McD's unless you end your in-your-face support of the gay lifestyle that you are pushing on the straight world." "McDonalds is discremonating against somthing its called family values!!" "I am deeply sadden to hear McDonald's has choose to support the NGLCC and LGBT agenda. It is sad when our world will say it is wrong for Christians to promote their values and beliefs. However, it is not wrong for homosexuals to promote theirs. They take God out of the school and replace it with homosexual values. Lord please come soon! McDonald's will no longer get my money." "For many years I have not knowingly supported Proctor/Gamble, Target, or Home Depot because of their active support for the G&L agenda. Adding McDonald's to my list will take effect immediately. And let's not forget Chipotle is a McDonald's business as well. Our society no longer chooses the "moral" or right things anymore without being prompted thru commerce. We all must use our financial resources to close down establishments that would use us for financial gain, only to spit in our face because we believe in right and wrong. It's time to "spit" back." "I've eaten at McD's for as long as I can remember and also worked there, but no more. I will NOT support a homosexual agenda. The sad part is that McDonald's is allowing one man to make a choice that will so greatly impact the McDonald's name. I'm sure Mr. Kroc is rolling over in his grave. I will be sharing information regarding the boycott with all of my friends and family, and there are many. Farewell McD." "I have gone to McDonalds since I was a kid. It was always a special treat. In fact, my first job was at McDonalds. Families are what make this company what it is. How can you undermine families by supporting such an aggregious organization. You really are not in touch with people, are you? Most Americans don't support the gay and lesbian lifestyle. In fact, they abhor it. Shame on you for biting the hand that feeds you!!!!!!" "I will no longer take my children to McDonald's. I do not want my dollars to support the destructive agenda of the NGLCC. I also don't want my children to begin to love Ronald and all the other cute characters and then have them see those same characters in some sleazy advertisement that endorses homosexuality. This was a bad move for McDonalds if they care about reaching out to families. Wake Up!" "How tragic to see the choice McDonald's has made to support the homosexual agenda! I have been eating at your restaurants for over 50 years. There are over 50 people in our family now and we strongly support traditional family values. That means we will have to give our business to other fast food restaurants who do not support the GLBT from now on. I am spreading the word -- be prepared to lose a lot of former patrons, and know that you deserve it!" "My kids love McDonalds, but as long as they support homosexual agenda we will not eat there." "We live in a sad world when McDonald's who caters to kids decides to get involved with the gay agenda instead of focusing on the children." "Thanks for all the years of fun and good burgers. It all ends now. I can not longer eat at your establishment. I have lost my appetite due to the thought of what you now support. I pray that God moves you to change your mind." "I really liked McDonlad's except for the occasional happy meal toy that was inappropriate for children. My daughter got used to throwing the bad ones away! I loved their new iced coffee too! But I will gladly give up my conveinience to eat their food & solve my coffee craving by hitting sonic instead as long as they boldly support the homosexual agenda. This is extremely disappointing & I'm so sad that they support such an unhealthy & disease spreading lifestyle." "I am dissappointed that an establishment such as McDonald's who caters to the family unit would alienate thier customers by supporting an organization who obviously is not. I pray for change and until that happens will feed my family of 7 elsewhere. I will also encourage my friends and family to do the same." "can you say WENDY's ? No more any "happy" meals for my family; and will forward to all in our neighborhood watch group, as well as all the soccer fields around Dublin." "We have had enough of your "social diverse support" for the socially perverse! We will find other places to eat out!" "There's a limited amount of food I'll eat at McDonald's, but we go because the kids like it. Now I have an excuse to go elsewhere! I guess either way I win - if they keep up the stupidity, I won't have to eat at McDonald's anymore; if they get smart and change their position on this issue, I'll have to return, but at least the anti-marriage crowd will have one less major supporter..." "After 30 years as McDonald's customer, I can no longer support them with my business in their support of the homosexual lifestyle. It is after all, not a life style, but a death style. Check the statistics, the people who practice this do not live as long, and often end in tragedy. It also eats away at the moral fabric of our society and will bring death to our once great society." "AS a mother of 4 children and a grandmother of 8 children I am saddened that I will no longer be taking them to McDonald's. It is not that I hate gays, it is that I love the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, God. He sent his Son Jesus to die for my sins and since Jesus made such a huge sacrifice for me I want to make a small one for him. Boycotting McDonald's because of McDonald's support for homosexuality is saying that Jesus is more important to me than the fun and food we have always enjoyed at McDonald's! God loves all of us and only asks that we repent and believe Him. May God be glorified in all our lives. Mary Osborne" "You may hire who you want but to put financial support behind the gay agenda is wrong. On top of that serve who you want, but I will not pay to support your backing of "Gay" rights. Those costs can be paid for by those who are or want to be. I will no longer take my family or any team I coach to McDucks. This is my 2nd note to you saying essentially the same thing. C. Gianoulakis" "As much as our family enjoys stopping for a breakfast sandwich when we are traveling, we will no longer do so. Other fast food restuarants offer breakfast items and have not chosen to abandon the family and the values that America stands for. I am sure the founder of McDonalds did not ever intend for his company to support this family destroying agenda. Please end your affiliation with the gay agenda so that families can again enjoy coming to McDonalds." "McDonald's has always had a wholesome image and been a place to take our children. However, with their gay and lesbian agenda McDonald's image has been changed and tarnished. I will think twice before going into an establishment that supports a gay and lesbian agenda because Scripture reveals that homosexuality is an abomination in God's sight. God does not despise the gay and lesbian person, He loves all of us, but He does despiset their perveted sexual acts." ""It would seem that McDonald's should be about hireing whoever they want, without discrimination while at the same time producing food that people enjoy. Why is it necessary for the company to push an agenda that so many Americans see as anti-God, anti-marriage (one man one woman) and anti-family. Don't they want the business of all Americans? They will no longer have our business unless they change their direction on this issue." Without FAMILIES, there would be NO McDonalds.........." "It is so sad to see the homosexual community work so hard to be considered "normal" while they continue their unnatural lifestyle. Corporate America is so afraid of them. I wonder why? They have lots of money and probably have never had a Big Mac in their lives. Their desire to push they aberrant behavior in the faces of all good and moral people makes me sick. This country is fast approaching the moral decay that brought down the Roman Empire. Read your history McD's!" "You have ruined McDonalds. My toddler will never get to experience the joys of eating at McDonalds because McDonalds chose to alienate and insult and destroy this family-supported establishment. Whoever made this call should be fired." "I was a frequent customer. As long as McDonald's supports a radical homosexual agenda including the redefinition of marriage, I will be a customer no more. And, I will pass the word." "Who needs McDonalds???" "I have 7 kids and I will not purchase another mcD burger, I will drive as many miles as I need to; even with the gas prices as high. McD you are totally dissapointing." "Who needs McDonalds???" "I am so disappointed. McDonalds has always been so affordable and a treat for our whole family for many years. This is a blatantly anti-family position to support unhealthy lifestyles and giving it a sacred name of marriage. Please reconsider as for now you will lose my patronage. I plan to inform all family and friends and coworkers of this and ask them to boycott McDonalds." "As a Christian I am glad I received this information. I hate sin not people. And as a command to stand for righteousness and Holiness, I will boycott this establishment. It will be better for our family anyway. But I am sad to see McDonald's joining the bandwagon to promote an unhealthy, ungodly lifestyle. Therefore they are against our family and every traditional family. Read Genesis and remember why God flooded the Earth. He is coming back and I want to hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant" Not "I knew you not...depart from me" Our battle is unseen, but we have to do in the natural what we can and keep praying for the battle to be won for Jesus. HE Loves every person." "McDonalds Restaurant originally prospered from it being a family themed outing. It was exciting to be with your "mom or dad" and they stop and get the children some hamburgers. It is not in your legacy to be in the spotlight for supporting an organization which questions the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. I will increase my spiritual and physical health by boycotting your restaurant until changes are made." "Bye, bye McDonald's." "McDonald's has been a family favorite for three generations. It is a sad day to say good-by but you have chosen to support a life style that I can not. I will miss you as will my family!" "I'm greatly saddened your corporation has joined the anti-family stand by supporting homosexuality, including the redifined marriage, which has always been a sacred union between a man and a woman. There are many restaurants to choose to eat, and yours will no longer be one of them. "You are what you eat" - I prefer much healthier food, especially for my soul. You have chosen to promote something so inheritantly wrong, but this lifestyle is not new, it has existed as long as humans have. However, because it exists does not make it right. God our creator, even though many don't believe in him and attack believers, will be the final Judge for each of us humans. In the meantime, May God Have mercy on us all." "As much as I like McDonald's food, I can do without it if they choose to support a Homosexual agenda. Shame on them!" "I can not believe that another company that allows children to have fun in their place of business would support something like this, what has this world gone to? Please don't support this." "Burger King, anyone?" "I am saddened to think that yet another corporation has fallen to the pressure of the NGLCC. Goodbye McDonalds." "I AM VERY SADDEN BY WHAT MCDONALDS NOW STANDS FOR I NOR MY FAMILY WILL EAT AT MCDONALD'S AGAIN LOOK OUT BURGER KING WILL BE MAKING ALL THE MONEY NOW......" "There are many dining options available. My family will use those options and boycott McDonalds. McDonald's is about to see the financial repercussions of their bad decisions." "McDonals, you may choose to be supportive of a minority of people, but you will find that the majority of people in this country still hold to and support Godly values. I will be boycotting your restaurants until your position changes." "I have always loved the breakfast at McDonald's. It brings back memories of childhood vacations and times of being in a foreign place with something familiar. I am disappointed in McDonald's choice to support homosexuality which is leading to the destruction of families. I've always looked at McDonald's as a family friendly place and I will no longer support them. I guess we'll have to find another fast food place for breakfast on vacation! My 4 year old daughter will greatly miss the Happy Meals. She recognizes McDonald's wherever we go-now we will have to explain why she can't have a Happy Meal. We aren't willing to trade in our values and belief in marriage between a man and a woman for fast food." "It is a shame that such a family establishment would refuse to listen to the majority of it's cumsumers and take the position of people who are promoting a deviant behavior which is so offensive. I will not be eating at McDonales or will my family members." "I'm disappointed in the decision McDonald's has made to support the Gay and Lesbian agenda. My family will no longer purchase McDonald's food or products." "You've built your fortune on the majority of faith based customers who have frequented your establishments. I for one will not longer support you and your food chains until you have the guts to stand up for what America stands for. Margie P. Hewlett" "I grew up eating at McDonald's and now my children go there. But not anymore!! We will not support such a group!!!" "I love McDonalds breakfast and would often purchase it for meetings that I was responsible for providing breakfast as well. However, since I found out about your financial backing of the GLBT agenda, I have been boycotting and will continue to do so until there is a change in policy." "I was very saddened to hear of your support for homosexuals, marriage and all. I do not have a "hateful" bone in my body, but wrong is wrong and right is right. I feel it is very wrong to support a destructive lifestyle such as homosexuality. Therefore, although McDonald's is my favorite fast food place, I will nto be stopping there anymore, nor will I bring my grandchildren. Hopefully, you will change your position so we can once again McDonald's. In the meantime, there are lots of other "hamburger" places where we can go." "I enjoy eating at McDonalds but there are many fine fast food restaurants who have the decency to not openly support a gay agenda as a corporation. I will not be eating there any more and I willl be sharing this with everyone I know." "I will not support McDonalds any longer. Homosexuality is not a desease it is a choice. The bible speaks against it. It's not natural. My child will not longer go to McDonalds, I don't want him influenced." "I am greatly disappointed at the betrayl of the american families by Mr. Ellis. His self centered and selfish actions not only will create a negative impact on McDonal's business but reveal to the public how corporation executives can misuse their power to drive peraonal agendas. The ameridan family has been the strength of mc donalds - just look on saturday AM the family participation at McDonald's. Destryoing the american family will destroy america and this is not what McDonalds was established for." "I have 5 grandchildren and their parents will not be taking them to McDonald's until it reverses this vulgar and unnecessary decision. SHAME on McDonald's/" "For 47 YEARS, I have been a faithful customer... NOT ANYMORE. I am now going to any other restaurant chain that does not support this. It is really a shame because I really love McDonalds but I even dislike that lifestlye even more. GOOD BY MCDONALDS FOREVER...UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR OPINION!!!!!" "I grew up eating with my family at one of the very first McDonalds! (in San Bernardino CA) Sadly, due to your pro-homosexual position, McDonalds is no longer a "family" restaurant - for my family and many others. Hey, Mickey-D, we are Mickey-free! Gina Greco" "This really disturbs me. I will tell all of your employs that I know about your decision to support the NGLCC." "I am truly saddened that someone on the Board of McDonald's has succumbed to what I believe will be a detrimental effect on Croc's infamous business which was founded on moral prinicples. The word will get out fast, and I believe you will see the effects of such a decision regarding the culture endeavor that promotes homosexual marriage." "You can count on my family not patronizing your stores anymore. I am perplexed and disappointed in the choice you have made as a world-wide corporation to enter into the political and moral arena. Your business does not belong there, but since you have gone there, you will lose my business. Gone is that family-friendly atmosphere (more than just cute toys and colorful chairs) that depicts and rejoices in true families, one mother, one father and children, eating together. Now we must have depicted two fathers with their adopted children (sick), and children who don't morally know their right hand from their left. What have you done, McDonald's?" "I spend approximately $12, a week at McDonalds, but no more." "Unfortunately individual franchise owners may be innocent victims but our church will boycott our McDonalds in Ukiah CA." "I will not be taking my family to any more family Friday night dinners at McDonald's until you openly state you are "pro family". How can a family rooted business just switch sides without letting all the public know their new stand? I find McDonald's actions to be two faced and I will make sure other families are aware of this issue so they too will not step foot in another McDonald's until this issue is resolved." "The first McDonalds I ate at was located in Des Plaines Illinois back in the 50's. In the future I will eat at Burger King or White Castle until this policy is changed. Hopefully this country will not go the way of Sodom & Gomorrah." "Our family will no longer eat at McDonald's. To support the gay and lesbian community is a sad comment on our country. As Christians, it is time for us to take a stand for what WE believe and value-I will be sharing this with family and friends as well." "VERY Sad! No More McD's for me." "Our family joins with these many who are saddened to hear that McDonalds is choosing to support a lifestyle that undermines the foundation of our culture-the traditional family! As the family goes, so goes our country! We know that life is hard but we still believe that 1 husband, 1 wife is the best way to raise children who are confident and grounded in the fact that some things are absolute! We need to be bold enough to stand on the Truth! We will miss our softserve ice cream, our chicken sandwiches, and Big Macs, and the best french fries in the world, but we are choosing to give them up to let you know that we cannot support such lies that the gay lifestyle is "gay"!" "My family and I have always chosen to eat at McDonald's whenever we are looking for fast food. I have loved your cheeseburgers since I was a little girl and taught my children to do the same. It saddens me that I can no longer support your establishment because of the decisions that you have made to put your full resources behind the gay agenda at the expense of the American family. I cannot in good conscience give money to a corporation that supports values and lifestyles that I do not." "I am very disappointed in McDonald's decision to encourage and support the homosexual lifstyle. Your support tarnish an wholesome family image you once held. I have for years support McDonald as I rasied four children and now have two grand-children whom have been taken to McDonald very often on a regular basis. I will notlonger support McDonald's until your decison of this type of support changes. There are much more healtier places to eat." "I refuse to patronize a corporation that supports the homosexual agenda. I have four children who will not be eating at McDonald's." "No more McDonald's for me unless you drop your support of the Homosexual agenda. I stand for the Bible." "I'm glad that there are so many other fast food places to choose from. McDonalds used to be the first choice...now it won't be any choice at all! I'm so disappointed in your decision to support this agenda! What happened to 'real' family values?? What would you do if there were no 'family' left to support your place of business?? You need to think about that because if you and others like you continue on this path, there will be no 'family' left and you will all close down! Thank God for the 'real families' who are taking a stand for what's right. You don't have to support this cause. You CHOSE to support it, just like I CHOOSE to STOP supporting you until you realize just how important the 'real family' is in America and the world today! I'll pray for you and those who made this decision. Staying neutral is the choice you should be making....."In GOD we trust"" "I can't believe a family orientented McDonald's would choose to support the homosexual life style. We have been going to McDonald's for many many years - taking our children and now grandchildren. We will NOT be going there any longer as long as you take this position. You are tearing apart this country and families. Why?? Why don't you just make the food and continue on with the good you started with? Stay out of politics. You don't belong there. We will be passing this information on to everyone we know. Please change your mind!" "I think that your involvement as a supporter of the gays and lesbians shows that you are not a family oriented business, and as of now I am discontinuing all further contact with your food chain." "I love the french fries, but my family and I will not support an anti-family establishment." "What you stand for does matter. I'm sorry we dont stand for the same things. Good bye McD" "Shame on you McDonalds!! I am a father of 8 children. None of my family or friends will eat at McDonalds, until you straighten up. Stay straight!. Rob Pinkerton, Kansas" "My co-worker's 41 year old son was so happy being "gay" that he committed suicide a month ago. It is not a "gay" lifestyle! I sympathize with the workers who will be the ones to lose. When McDonald's revenue is cut, so are jobs. Many people depend on their income from you. Ford Motor Co. found out how strong the grassroots of America really is. I and my family and all of my e-mail friends will be boycotting you until you have a change of heart." "I began boycotting McDonald's several months ago when it was first announced that they were supporting the gay and lesbian agenda. I will continue to take our fast food dollars elsewhere and encourage others to join the boycott as well." "What a shame you've put on a family establishment. I'll tell all my family and friends your downfall." "We're happy to support the boycott and enjoyed lunch and Jack in the Box after CHURCH yesterday (Oreo shakes-delish!) Oh, and we recently spent $25K on a TOYOTA instead a Ford. Thanks AFA for your hard work so Christians can make informed decisions where to spend their dollars." "Thank God for companies like Chick Filet who support the family and even close on Sunday!! We don't need McDonald's as long as they support the gay agenda which is anti-family and anti-Christian.(Lev.18:22) We are to love the sinner but hate the sin." "I used to love McDonald's breakfast and would by it for my family up to twice a month. I will no longer give business to a company that supports an organization which is geared to promoting something as morally wrong as homosexuality. This is another clear attempt to mainstream abnormal behaviour." "In the words of Pat Harris, Global Chief Diversity Officer, Vice President, Inclusion & Diversity at McDonald's, "I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our position on diversity." Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, KFC, and anything else will get my business, not McDonald's. You're right, diversity is best :)" "How sad that we will not be eating at McDonalds anymore. Now I have to decide how to tell my 3 yr old why we can't go to McDonalds and get a happy meal. Fortunately there are many other options for us to chose from since you will no longer be an option for us until you change your stand on homosexuality issues. I will be also informing all my friends, many with kids, about this outrage." "I am completely repulsed by your decision to fund NGLCC. What does supporting them have to do with serving food? I refuse to let my money support you, when you turn around and support them. It is WRONG MORALLY. I started boycotting you when I first learned of your decision to back NGLCC and will continue to do so unless you denounce that position. Look at the detriment supporting that lifestyle has brought to the Ford company. It's not the economy..it's the American people trying to get their point across. We don't want a more liberal country..why are the minorities pushing for it? Liberalism and the self-centered lifestyle that goes along with it have torn down other nations..and while they are wisely trying to build stronger, more conservative unions, the morally depraved in this country are pushing us into a downward spiral. . ." "Wendy's here I come." "Since I was a child, McDonald's has been a part of my life. I remember how fun it was when I could finally finish the entire Big Mac, and my kids have had a similar experience. It has been an American rite-of-passage. You are in the RESTAURANT business, not politics. Your decision will hurt your business and, unfortunately, that of your franchisors and employees. My family will not go to another McDonald's until your corporation gets out of politics and back to your real business which, in part, should be the recognition of WHO IS YOUR CUSTOMER--FAMILIES. In my case, a Christian family that will not support businesses that act against God. I pray you will change your policies." "It is sad that McDonalds is supporting what will bring bring another decline to morals in our Nation. Is it not enough that their junk food destroys the body, must they also aid in the destroying of souls too." "You are surely going to achieve the same results Ford did when they backed the homosexuals. Say goodbye to my money. I will not support your efforts." "I will not buy from McDonald's again, not as long as you support gay marriages. Our society is going from bad to worse because of the break up of the family and you should be spending your dollars working towards reuniting the family again instead of supporting the distrortion of the family by supoprting gay marriages." "Such a travisty for a family oriented business. My kids and grandkids will eat elsewhere. Hope your company goes BUST!!!" "I am sorry to hear that one of my favorite childhood restaurants have openly and pointedly chosen to support a lifestlye that the Bible CLEARLY says is sinful and anti-God. It is a lifestyle that confuses values on what family is, and will inherit God's wrath, period. May we all repent as a nation and turn from this great sin! I will not be eating at McDonalds again, Lord willing. I hope that you will humble yourselves and turn to God...our nation is stirring up God's wrath against the USA by provoking Him to anger. Repent! I love you and so does God, and His ways are right!" "So sorry to lose you as a business." "I am sickened to hear that your comapny has chosen to support the homosexual agenda. Too bad because I am certain that this is just the beginning of the end for your corporation. No doubt I will be fervently praying that the almighty Jehova God uses McDonald's as an example of what is to befall the ungodly peoples of this world. Needless to say, you just lost my business and I'm sure that the millions of dollars you will lose as a result of this choice you have made will hurt your company severely if not damage it beyond recovery!" "My family and I have cohosen to spend our dollars at establishments that promote family values. The NGLCC is NOT family-oriented; it's agenda is to redefine the meaning of one man and one woman in marriage which is the God-ordained way of procreation and family. My 4-year old has been telling her friends that we don't eat at McDonald's anymore because they give our money to people who do bad things with it. So long McDonald's, hello Subway!" "Well.. our days of taking our family of 7 to Mcdonald's for happy meals is over. You are supposed to be family oriented but I can tell by your actions you are not! I pray that God will put an end to this. This support is ungodly! Oh well there are a lot of other fast food places in town who would love our money. Too Bad but your loss not mine." "i will no longer buy or support your company due to you partnering with this agenda. too bad we loved this fast food for years." "Our family ,Grandchildren and great grandchildren ,will no longer buy from madonalds....news will go to all i can send to ." "McD's needs to stick to the burger business! Why is Mc D's supporting the homosexual lifestyle when there are so many better causes to put your corporations money towars, for example, children's cancer research. My family and I will no longer be heading to Mickey D's for a quick burger, but instead to Burger King or 5 Guys, their burgers are better anyway!" "I have always considered McDonald's to be a family oriented establishment and have eaten here for the past 20 years with my family and friends. However, in light of their support for the homosexual agenda, I will boycott this restaurant chain as well as fellow family members and friends until they decide to remove their affiliation and funds from the NGLCC. The decision to be "politically correct" does not reflect the beliefs of McDonald's largest group of customers. Let's see how long their bottom line can take the boycott of concerned parents and families." "Businesses should avoid supporting contraversial issues. How can you compare a wonderful organization like Ronald McDonald house which supports ill and terminally ill children with supporting the NGLCC? If this is what you choose, our church could use some support for our missions ministry, who helps orphans, the sick, hungry,and poor all over the world. Can we count on your financial support ? I won't hold my breath ! And, I will no longer be going to McDonald's." "My family & friends will no longer enter a McDonald's. You should have stayed out of politics!! My parents go every morning to Mc"D" for coffee & apple turnovers, NOT ANYMORE!!! I will let ALL my friends & family know about your choice." "I am extremely disappointed in McDonald's and their lack of respect and support of families and children. We will no longer be supporting a company who does supports a very immoral and damaging agenda. You have definitely lost our business and we will tell other family and friends to do the same." "I am extremely disappointed in McDonald's and their lack of respect and support of families and children. We will no longer be supporting a company who does supports a very immoral and damaging agenda. You have definitely lost our business and we will tell other family and friends to do the same." "I am very disappointed in McDonald's and will spread the news to my family and friends." "As Christians my family and I will no longer eat at Mcdonald's. Shame on you McDonald's, you've been blessed of God beyond measure, and as my Mother says, "It's not because you make a good burger." Your blessings came from good family oriented decisions, but now you've made the worst decision you could have ever made." "I think that a "family" oriented business should promote a family environment that is traditional. Therefore I will boycott you until it has come to your attention that our country believes unfoundledly on the teachings of Christ." "I have eaten at McDonalds since I was about 7 years old (1965). I remember when you first opened in Madison Heights, Michigan. Back when you actually had Golden Arches over the top of the building. I am truly surprised by your position on the NGLCC promotion. As a company founded on Family values and catering to children through marketing promotions of Ronald McDonald, the Hamburgler and other child friendly characters that you would allow the deviant behavior of a few to tarnish a glowing history. As a former employee, I was indoctrinated with the Ray Croc principles of business management and what it meant to be an employee of such a wholesome (" "Because of your intense support ofgay marriage my family will be boycotting your establishments from now on." "My family will not be participating in anything McDonalds...As head of my family, I cannot have my family be customers on any anti-family establishment." "I can understand McDonald's supporting it's "community" and who has been the "community" for the past 40 years? Now you are no longer supporting those supported you in the past...what a sad thing for many families who have supported and loved McDonald's. What is so wrong supporting the stability of families? Families have been around for centuries... support them!!! McDonald's has chosen to support that which wants to dissolve the family and the stability of the very structure of our country. We will continue to pray for McDonald's, and their families...and our wonderful country. In God we trust!" "It is a very sad day when a family oriented company like McDonald's makes a (terrible)decision like this. My family and I will be finding a new "fun" place to eat." "We will not be buying anything at McDonald's and will be telling all our friends about it also. Hope you can find enough gays to support the company, because there's lots of other places out there to buy a burger or whatever without supporting gay causes." "I had to explain to my daughter why she can't have big mac's anymore. She wasn't happy but fully understood why I will no longer eat there, because I will not help support something I believe is morally wrong. I am going to miss your hot fudge sundaes. Thank goodness for Bruester's ice cream. We can always walk to Taco Bell which is right beside the McDonald's we will no longer be walking to." "I once heard "With money comes responsibility." I assume part of that responsibility should be shown to the customers who made them successful in the first place! McDonalds has become an extremely successful company because of their focus on families with children. If McDonalds doesn't alter its homosexual position, its continued success will be in jeopardy. This isn't meant to be a THREAT -- it's just a fact. I pray that McDonalds will have the wisdom to recant its position before its customers make the decision for you." "WOW! I am shocked that McDonald's a family restaurant would take this stand. My family has been going to McDonald's for over 20 years. I will no longer help support a company that encourages the homosexual lifestyle. While I do believe we need to show love and compassion to all folks (as the Word of God says) but, we do not to support their sin. Sorry McDonald's but I will no longer use your company as a place to take my children. We visited McDonald's every Tuesday to play and eat." "I strongly urge you to research and study the physical (health) and emotional effects of the gay lifestyle. Refusing to do so is encouraging and supporting much pain and suffering on those you believe you are supporting.As a registered nurse I have witnessed and taken care of these that you are willing to excploit in this manner." "My chilgren grew up with McDonald's. It was a family tradition every Friday night, however, effective immediately my family and I(children & grandchildren) will boycott all your stores. If we don't take a stand, family as we know it and God designed it to be will disappear in America." "My family will not eat another McDonald's until the you stop your corporate support of the Gay and Lesbian lifestyle. We have always saved our can tabs to support Ronald McDonald House. What a shame that will stop too." "McDonald's could have remained neutral on the issues supported by the GLA. Since you did not, our family will not be going to one of your restaurants until you publicly denouce this plan of action." "As a Christian who is against the homosexual agenda, I will not be taking my family to McDonald's until this changes. We love McDonalds, but we love our Lor Jesus Christ and our God and his commandments more. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. McDonalds, shame on you and for your role in degrading the moral stamina of families and of our Great Uninted States of America." "I and my family have been faithful fans of McDonalds for several years. Now we are both disappointed and hurt. We are glad you have competition." "We love McDonald's, especially their dollar menu, but no good deal is worth supporting a corporation that actively supports the gay and lesbian cause. Shame on you for taking family's dollars with one hand and using those dollars to destroy the family on the other hand." "Prior to the homosexual agenda being pushed upon us as a society, another word for "happy" was "gay". What's next McDonald's, the "Gay Meal"?? It's time for the Christians in this country to stand for what we believe in and to take back this culture 1 burger at a time. Like the Chick-fil-a billboards say... eat more chicken. Oh, nad by the way, they are closed on Sundays to support family values and to allow employees the opportunity to attend worship services if they so choose." "It is time for people/companies to understand, WE ARE THE MAJORITY, stop allowing the minorities to make the rules. This is a terrible day for the McDonalds corporation and my family. After all the good McDonalds has done for local communities it has chosen to listen to one person. McDonalds needs to understand, it took families to make this corporation what it is today and if we stand firm on this issue, it will take families to force the change of McDonalds mind. Lets see this big wig live on a salary only gays support. Needless to say, I have already informed my brother and sister and 5 of my friends. Keep this going and they will change their tune." "Our family loves McDonald, it was a restaurant of our kids' choice even when we go overseas. But promoting the gay agenda as a business is unacceptable to us, it is against our family value, we will join the boycott. Leave the politics out of your business decisions." "We eat out several times a week. At least one of those times is at McDonalds and I usually purchase their sweet tea once a day. Not anymore, we need to speak up and let everyone know we want our conservative ideals and ways to continue." "I just want to remind everyone that the prayers of a righteous man (or woman) avails much.... so let's sign the petitions, etc. but more importantly, let's pray, because God is the only one big enough to find, and win this agenda that's trying to steal our nation, our businesses, and our families. With God on our side, nothing is impossible!" "I'm not against gays. I am against having all this shoved down my throat. I don't a corporation should take sides regarding issues of this nature. If you can't stay neutral then I guess I will have to take my business else where." "As a mother of four young children the request to eat at McDonald's is often. My husband and I will not be taking our family to McDonald's or supporting McDonald's, until it pulls out of the NGLCC membership and their support of the gay agenda. We do not support the gay agenda and will not support any company who does. McDonald's has lost us as customers until they remove their membership and support." "My family loves McDonald's. We rave about how they do it right at least once a week or so, from the timeliness to the cleanliness to the consistency of the quality. However, I feel McDonald's to stick to what they do best and that is providing an outstanding service to our families nationwide (that's all I can speak for as I have not visited one outside our country). It is understandable and admirable that your company chooses not to discriminate or judge based on lifestyle choices. However, as a Christian, it is disheartening to have the gay and lesbian agenda forced upon us daily and I am asking that you not give them your utmost financial and moral backing. Until then, I hate to say it, but we will be forced by our own convictions to avoid McDonald's restaurants." "My husband and travel much. Our favorite place to eat as always been McDonalds. After hearing that you support homosexuals we will no longer eat at your establishments until you change your decision. You started as a family restaurant, please continue to support what God has commanded, one man and one woman marriages. We are praying for you." "I have been a customer of McDonalds since I can remember. My two children also love to go there. It saddens me that you have chosen to promote an anti-family, perverted life style (you could just remain neutral, if nothing else). As much as I like your restaurant, standing up for what I know is right is much more important. Unless you chance your stance, you've lost my business." "I regret to see that you have lost your focus - providing good fun in a family-friendly environment. Goodbye until you change!" "I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in McDonald's. As long as you support the gay and lesbian agenda, we will not be eating in your restaraunts. I will miss your double fish and the double cheeseburger and fries; I would be going more often at this time to get the coke glasses if you were not supporting the gay agenda. McDonald's should remain neutral in politics. Stick to what you know best - food! I hope you will reconsider the stand you have taken so our family and all the others taking a stand against your support of the gay agenda can once again support a "family-oriented" McDonald's. Thank you for your consideration." "That is it for my family, there are more fast food burgers and stuff places to choose from." "My children and grandchildren have eaten at McDonald's for many years because they have eagerly requested to eat and play with other children and get the latest toy. SHAME on Mcdonald's for making this decision and trying to shove down our throats what has been shoved down their leaders throat! I will personally urge everyone I know to boycot them and take my grandchildren somewhere more respectable." "As long as McDonald's continues to support the gay agenda I will no longer purchase any of your products. I will also make sure that the many families that I know with children learn of your support for the gay agenda." "The corporate actions of MikkiD's is an affront to all the families who made the restaurant what it is today. There are so many worthy causes that the McDonald's corporation could put its muscle and money behind; unfortunately, they have chosen a militant political agenda that divides the nation and threatens families everywhere. As a result, I have chosen to boycott the not-so-Golden Arches. Founder Ray Kroc is probably rolling over in his grave!" "My very first job 35 years ago was at McDonalds. There were very high standards for the restaurant at that time, and I'm sorry to hear that they have dropped so low. You make the best french fries ever, but I will not be able to eat there as long as you support what I believe to be a huge contributor to the demise of all that once made our nation great. I pray that God will give you a change of heart." "Iam one of those people who have worked at Mcdonalds for years in Clarksville Tn, and I am appauled at what I have found out about your company you no longer will get my support." "I thought McDonald's was suppose to be FAMILY friendly. There will be no money support from my family of 6 going to McDonald's until this changes. My kids are disapointed, but our morals are more important than Happy Meals!" "It's a crying shame that a company this size feels that supporting the homosexual agenda is so much more important that doing what they should be doing - making hamburgers, and not trying to support politically correct issues to gain market share with a certain group of people! I’ll go elsewhere to get a burger." ""Shame on you! You should know better! GOD LOVES THE SINNER BUT NOT THE SIN!!!" "Since McDonalds' chooses to support homosexuality, my family & I choose to eat somewhere, like at Burger King!! We will no longer eat at any McDonalds' until you choose to remain neutral on this issue. Burger King here we come!!!!" "McDonald's should concentrate on serving food, not promoting homosexuality, which is, by the way, against God's intentions and instructions." "I wrote to you when I first learned of your corporate support for the gay cause. Now I've learned you didn't listen to any of our concerns and have renewed your support. Since you won't be neutral on this topic, I won't be neutral about my support of your business. There won't be any until I see that our food dollars will go toward causes that are more appropriate for a family restaurant." "Shame on you! I was disappointed in your stand. I hope there are enough gays to keep you in business." "Obviously, McD's is not run by Christians. My kids and wife enjoy your restaurant - I'll be sure they don't go back -" "As a former McDonald's employee who took care of in-store marketing, I was happy to represent McDonald's and all the fine things you gave to the community. The Ronald McDonald House does so much good for families with seriously sick children. By supporting the homosexual agenda, you have lost my support. Please stick to what is good for the children and not this sick agenda." "My family is very sad to hear about McDonald's decision to fully support and be actively involved in promoting the homosexual lifestyle. You have made your stand and we will have to make ours. We have a family of 6 with more on the way and at least once to twice a week have eaten at McDonalds, especially during baseball season. Our family can no longer, in good conscience, financially support McDonalds to have you turn around and financially support the homosexual cause. There are several other fast food chains that would love to have the patrons that took a stand against McDonalds." "No more McDonald's for me, not as long as you support gay marriages. I thought McDonalds supported the family. If you support the NGLCC there will soon be no more families!! Please reconsider your thoughts on such a matter." "When my brother and I were very young, the big treat of the week was to get to have lunch at McDonald's after Church. My parents thought very highly of McDonald's as a family place to go. I am glad that neither one of them is still alive to see how their favorite place is doing now. They would be so upset as I and my family & friends are today. No more Happy meals for my family! Hopefully, other fast food places will not be playing follow-the-leader! (Will Ronald McDonald pop up now with rainbow hair?--so sad!)" "McDonald's was my families favorite fast food resteraunt. We no longer will patronize your stores. It will be difficult on us, but well worth the effort." "Think this is TERRIBLE. I am not against peoples preferences but it should be private, but come on, instead of spending money on something like this McDonalds ought to pay your dedicated employees a decent salary. How can anyone live on the pay you give. Also remember kids have made your business what you are and that takes families." "As much as our little ones love your Happy Meals, we will not be back to McDonalds. Your support of something that God says is sin and no one is born a homosexual. This country was started on Godly issues and its time for us to get back to them." "I am no longer willing to just sit back and watch corporations push their social agendas on our nation. I do not buy burgers in order to help finance the liberal social and political causes of others. Therefore my family will no longer patronize McDonald's, and we will inform many others we know about your ill-conceived and totally unnecessary support for a cause that is offensive to the moral beliefs of millions of Americans. You have demonstrated a stunning condescension towards many who do not share your support for a militant gay agenda, apparently unconcerned about the beliefs of Christians and many others.Goodbye,tarnished "golden arches", at least until you change your ways." "McDonald's should go back to see why the company started in the first place. Please leave the NGLCC agenda out. God will judge anyone that goes against the family (one man and one woman plus children). I feel sorry that you as a corporation can not see the damage your actions will cause that can not be undone once started. You WERE a family place what happened? Most people are against the NGLCC and do not want it pushed down our necks. It is bad enough that we can not go to the movies without the "gay agenda" in the movie some way or some how. Our meals served by businesses like yours do not have to support the "gay agenda" also. May God show you the right way and have mercy on you. You may very well win in this fight but God will have the last say. I hope you change the direction you are headed for." "My little boy, 2, loves your Happy Meals, but we will no longer eat at your restaurant until your stand on this issue is neutral. It's just a shame that he's too young for me to explain to him why we can't and won't eat or play there anymore!" "I'm very disappointed to hear McDonald's decision to force the homosexual agenda on the American people. Our family, which frequents McDonalds, will now choose otherwise. It's a sad day for McDonald's." "I just want the people at McDonald's to know that I will no patronize their business. I have participated in numerous boycots in the past and know that God will honor our faithfulness and the stand we are making." "I don not know how you can call your business "family friendly" and support the gay lifestyle. How very disappointing. You are deceived in thinking you are helping anyone. The truth is not in you. We have plenty of options in terms of fast food. We will absolutely take our business elsewhere." "It looks like McDonald's would learn from the Ford corporation and their decrease in profits after promoting the homosexual agenda. I don't buy Fords anymore and I won't be eating at McDonald's. I will pray for a change in direction or for a Christian company to buy out McDonalds." "McDonald's was BUILT on American families! It is SUCH poor business sense to take a position on this issue...I will never look at those golden arches the same...how sad. I do not hate gay people but do hate the body-politic. I am not going to McDonald's again...and I am going to McDonald's again and I am going to discourage others from going as well. GOD bless America!!!" "I have a friend who WAS gay and died last year of Aids related illness. He had given his life to the Lord two years previously and was happier than he had been in years. I know that many homosexuals are hurt and wounded people and have compassion for them, not hatred. I do not want my children being taught homosexuality is normal. Your support of the "gay agenda" which is very militant and demanding in that everyone else is wrong and are hate mongers is ridiculous and your support of their agenda is enough for my family not to support your business anymore. I am forwarding this boycott to all my family and friends." "McDonald's wake up. Your job is to make fast food not push the NGLCC agenda. My family eats at McDonald's at least two days a week because of softball practice schedule. Not anymore, Wendy's will get our business until McDonald's wakes up!!!" "MacDonald's, you've seen the last of my money. You'll miss me more than I'll miss you! Shame on you for your support of homosexuality--a disgusting and sinful lifestyle." "You made your decision on this important Christian issue and now I'll make mine. My shadow will never fall under the golden arches again." "I'm extremely disappointed in McDonalds. I always thought it was a "family- friendly" environment, where you could get away from politics. A family consists of a Father, Mother, and children. Let the gay and lesbian communities choose their own lives, but don't support them in it. We can love them, but we don't have to adhere to them. Please stop supporting the gay agenda. Our family will not be going back until you do." "Thank you McDonald's!!! Many of us will be much healthier, we will lose weight and at the same time we will lighten your wallet. Mission accomplished. Perhaps you should take a long hard look and see what happened and is happening to GM/Ford. In this economy things can change on a dime and not even McDonald's is beyond bankruptcy so don't kid yourselves into thinking you are safe - no corporation is indispensable." "I love McDonald's tea and my kids love the food but I will explain to them why we can no longer support such a place. We will take our business elsewhere." "McDonald's is not my kind of place, for God they have disgraced. No more purchases of hamburgers or fries to support the spreading of lies. What happened to your values - or has it been contaminated by your revenues. McDonalds your arch is not so golden and I am disappointed that corporate sponsors have allowed this action. Thank God there are other fast food establishments to support." "My family and I have been very frequent patrons of McDonald's. WENDY'S will get all of our business until McDonald's learns that the majority of Americans are opposed to this push for the homosexual agenda." "I will make sure that I no longer spend any money at McDonald's until you at least become neutral in the war over morality and stop supporting degeneracy and calling it diversity. As Shakespeare wrote: "A rose under any other name would smell as sweet." Only, homosexuality doesn't smell very sweet." "Our family was disappointed to hear about McDonald's support of NGLCC. I hope you are disappointed to hear about our support for the boycott of McDonald's. We will miss the Big Mac's and McFlurry's, but there is always Wendy's and Dairy Queen!" "I will contact the local franchises in my area to make them aware that we will no longer be buying McDonalds. I want you to know that I have six children, ages 11,10,8,5,3 &2. I can assure you that we were very frequent customers. As a christian, I believe we should both love others but stand firm with God's laws. I feel bad for those in the gay lifestyle and know for some of my close friends what a painful and destructive lifestyle it is. They were lied to at a very young age and after years of living in a way that God never intended, the scars are permanent. I think that is what bothers me most is that your support will seek to draw more young people into a depressing and destructive lifestyle. God does not condemn it just because. He condemns it because He loves us and knows that it is an addiction that does not stop. We have other options, like Wendy's and Chick Filet. . ." "It would seem that McDonald's should be about hireing whoever they want, without discrimination while at the same time producing food that people enjoy. Why is it necessary for the company to push an agenda that so many Americans see as anti-God, anti-marriage (one man one woman) and anti-family. Don't they want the business of all Americans? They will no longer have our business unless they change their direction on this issue." "What's next, are they going to support NAMBLA? What about beastiality? Am I really being riduculous?" "I am sorry that you as a major corporation have decided to support and aid homosexuality. My eating will be taken to other fast food locations." "I can put it very plain and simple. You people have to be sick to expose children to something like this." "Just stick to what you do best--fast food." "While McDonald's has the right to support whatever cause it chooses, they cannot support NGLCC and pretend to be family friendly. No McDonald's for me, my family, or anyone else I can convince." "I will not darken the doors of any McDonald's until the corporate leaders come to their senses. As a Christian Bible College administrator, I'd love to see McDonald's support my school with $20,000, but they would never do something so offensive! McDonald's, continue to use your coporate strength to back issues that benefit the family and wholesome morals and values." "My family will join the boycott. I am saddened that McDonald's has chosen to promote perversion; quite contradictory to their customer base, not really a smart business move, this homosexual is placing his personal agenda above the best interest of the corporation." "Excellent! I'm glad to see people standing up for what is right! No more McDonald's for my family!" "I have always liked McDonald's, but will no longer stop there. It's very disappointing that, with all of the real crises in this world - children going to bed hungry, for one - and with all it's enormous success and resources, that McDonald's would choose a cause that is offensive to so many people. I will miss McDonald's, but I can't support something I believe to be harmful." "No more Happy Meals for my grandbabies!" "I stopped eating at McD's 6 weeks ago when I first heard about this. I like their food but it's easy to walk away when you hear this kind of garbage." "Well the Golden Arches will be no more for my grandchildren or myself. When you abandon the family value, then I abandon you. May the Lord open your eyes." "We have reached a point in our society where one must "choose up sides". Not on this issue alone but on good vs. evil at large. I have chosen mine." "I'm sorry you feel the need to support the Gay agenda, while I'm not a hateful person I do not believe in supporting something that goes against what I believe or stand for." "UNREAL !!!! I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN McD'S AND I WILL NO LONGER BE BUYING ANY CHICKEN MCNUGGETS FOR MY 3 KIDS OR TAKING THEM THERE TO EAT & PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND. WHAT A SHAME !!!!" "As a share holder I am very disappointed at your position regarding homosexuality. Where is your backbone as to what is right in the eyes of God?" "As a fairly new Grandmother, I was looking forward to the trips to McDonald's. However, due to your lack of concern for our Christian values, I will take them else where until you come to your senses." "I understand the need for protection of all workers and their rights as individuals in the workplace.I do not, however, agree with McDonald's choice to join the NGLCC and actively aid in its promotion of same-sex marriage. I and my family here will also make a choice, and that is to dine elsewhere, such as Burger King, Wendy's or Chick-Fil-A." "We are so sorry to see what we thought was a family friendly restaurant go down this road. We won't be eating at McDonald's anymore and plan to get the word out to neighbors, friends, and family." "How can a Mcdonald's abandon the family's that have made them what they are?" "My wife didn't like the idea of eating from McDonald's anyway. Now I can stop trying to convince her otherwise (with good reason)." "I will not purchase items from McDonald's again until their management stop supporting an openly Gay agenda. I prefer to eat at restaurants who maintain American Values and Christian traditions." "Nine grandchildren that will not be taken to McD by this grandmother again." "From My Family and I, good bye Micky D," "I haven't been supporting McDonald's due to your destruction fo the Rainforest & raising your beef in another country, but now this. I will not allow my money to support such alternative Gay( lifestyles!" "My family eats at McDonalds 2 or 3 times a week but we will no longer continue to do so. As a christian I can not support something or someone that stands for an abomination such as this." "You've made your success from appealing to the family structure..what happened to your moral contribution to society????" "Now you know why CHICK-FILA out sells all the other fast food franchises and are closed on Sunday's. My family will support this Christian owned business and will encourage every one we know to do the same. That $20,000 dollars is cheap compared to what this decision will cost Mc'Donalds. Whoever made this this decision should be fired immediately along with everyone else involved. SEE YOU AT CHICK-FILA!!!!" "This is preposterous I will not ever eat at McDonald's again and I will pass this on to all my cloeagues friends and family Good Bye Big Mac" "My family boycotted McDonalds from the beginning when we first heard of this from the AFA. You can be re-assured that my efforts for telling all my family and friends not to visit McDonalds will now be doubled." "Dear McDonald's, My family and I are regular patrons, stopping at one of your restaurants at least once a week. I have no problem w/ you hiring homosexuals and treating them the same way you do all employees. I do not believe that we should shun them, I believe we should love them the way that Jesus would. However, I do not agree in you putting your money and endorsement behind the gay/lesbian agenda. You are contributing to the moral decay of our society by doing this, and my family will no longer support this activity by buying one more happy meal! Please reconsider and God Bless your leadership w/ wisdom and discernement." "I guess you just don't get it. But what I buy or don't buy shows what products I support or don't support. I have stopped going to McDonld's and will stay away until you stop supporting the NGLCC." "Why would any corporation support an ungodly and perverted lifestyle? Mr. CEO, you are spending company dollars to support your personal agenda!! I'm sure shareholders do not approve of your action!! Your decision, worst of all, is a slap in the face to God and godly families. I will no longer eat at McDonalds, and I will encourage all my friends and family to also support this boycott." "It's a shame that an American icon like McDonalds choses to no longer be a family place to eat. I am passing this on to my friends, church and co-workers so that they will know what kind of agenda McDonalds now has thrown it's support behind. Normally, while traveling I stop at McD's but no more." "If you don't believe boycotting works, wait and see Mickey-D. Unless you change your stance on supporting a perverted lifestyle, my family will no longer be eating at your "restaurants". I look forward to seeing McDonald's stores throughout the nation closing their doors once and for all. In this great country of ours, YOU have the right to support any agenda you choose, but by the same token, I have the right to my beliefs and I choose NOT to support you or your agenda." "I generally stop by McDonald's on my way to work everyday. But now, I cannot, with a clear conscience, support your business knowing that you back homosexuality. Regardless of how the media has portrayed sodomy and society has become brainwashed into believing it is ok - it's not. The bible is very clear on this issue and for you to condone homosexuality it a sin. I will not support your restaurant any longer because it would be a sin for me to do so." "Wow! SHAME on you McDonald's... Marriage is between a man and woman. How can you support such a small minority of people and their lifestyle? Do you think our forefathers acted this way? NO!!!!!!!!!!! If you support this, I'll take my 4 boys elsewhere. Everyone should pray they change from this wicked behavior, Have you read about Sodom and Gamorrah? Open your bible it will tell you what happens to this kind of behavior." "Its ironic that McDonalds is eroding its future customer base-the children sodomites do not naturally have." "I'm very disappointed that a buisness that promotes themselves as a family resturant would support an organization that is completely against traditional family values." "God's timing is always perfect. They just opened a new Wendy's across the street from the McDonalds.....funny how that works." "I believe everyone has the right to do what they please. I do not hate homosexuals, they are Gods Children just as I am. However I do not agree with their lifestyle. McDonalds and any other corporation should not be an accomplice in shoving someone else's views down my throat. They can do what they want but I do not have to agree. I stop at Mcdonalds everyday for breakfast and will hate to stop. However I can not in good conscience continue to support this Company." "I am a grandparent of six children that will not not be eating happy meals until I hear of a change of heart" "This truly saddens me that McDonalds will not remain neutral on this and stick to making burgers. Neutrality will not cause you to loose customers. Do all your owners and employees know the evil you support? The lifestyle is sinful. My family and I frequently stop on McDonalds but will not longer. Culvers it is!" "I am saddened and disappointed that McDonald's chooses to support values that demoralize family and home. I will take my business elsewhere and will urge family and friends to do the same. I pray that God will burden you to change your minds and stand up for the right, not the popular." "I am a regular customer of McD's but iy's off my list now until corporate reverses it's choice to support non-traditional marraige." "Pro gay and lesbian - anti family = fewer children = fewer Macs. A bad business model." ""I am appalled that you all are supporting the homosexual agenda. You are supposed to be a family restaurant. A family is a man and a wife not two people of the same sex. God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, not Adam and Steve. Homosexuals are an abomination in God's eyes. If you approve of this, you are an abomination too. I can't continue to be a customer of yours and will encourage as many as possible to chose somewhere else to eat other than your place." "NGLCC is a sexually oriented business and will not get my support in any way. So I am unable to use any McD's .To bad for them they had a lot of my business. I am telling all my friends and relatives and church family. They also support the boycott." "Wow, we just ate there two days ago. It won't happen now that I know McDonald's is being unresponsible in doing whats right for the American Family!" "As a owner of a Charter Motor Coach Company, I have instructed all my drivers to avoid McD's as much as possible. I hope that other operators will follow my lead and do likewise. Maybe the franchisee can get through to corporate to change their misguided sense of direction." "I started eating at McDonalds in 1965, I guess I've eaten my last time there and so has my entire extended family, and all my friends I can tell not to." "It is unbelievable to me, how these corporations take their eyes of the prize, in McDonald's case, market share to support minority values. Our family was done with McDonald's from the first AFA alert about this issue. We will tell everyone we know." "I will not patronize a restaurant that chooses political correctness and sexual issues over children and family. There are 6 ppl in my family that will NOT be going to McDonalds until you stay neutral in the cultural war. Serve food, not politics." ""I have 3 boys and eat at McDonald's almost every other day. But I will not be eating there anymore since they support Homesexual agenda. When I try to teach my kids about morals, what am I suppose to say when a big corporation like you don't believe that. You are supporting that the rest of us and God are full of it and you are right. I will not be eating there anymore even if you change your mind. For if you had morals you wopould have never made that decision in the first place" "WOW!!! What some people do for a buck, even though both sides of the coin frequntly stop at your rest. you take a chance to loose a big portion of MONEY. WHO DO YOU REALY BOW DOWN TO???" "My kids love McDonald's and so do I for their dollar menu but we need to make a stand and some point so I will not choose to buy anything from McDonald's until they can remain neutral on this matter" "McDonalds has made a grave mistake and will pay for aligning and advocating immorality in this land." "I have four children who love Mc D's. But we are raising our children with something much more important then french fries and chicken nuggets. We are raising our children with a set of moral standards as set by God Almighty. I have explained to them why we are not going to frequent any Mc D's until they overturn their present agenda and return to the one they used to have...one based on family values...what they are in support of now undermines families as it is completely contrary to the definition of family itself. My children are spreading the news to their friends, many of whom are also Christians, who subscribe to wholesome family values, not the perversion Mc D's now supports. I am also spreading the news of Mc D's current demise to my church, to my coworkers at the Christian bookstore and to all the families in our neighborhood." "Shame on you! You should know better! GOD LOVES THE SINNER BUT NOT THE SIN!!!" "Since McDonalds' chooses to support homosexuality, my family & I choose to eat somewhere else!! We will no longer eat at any McDonalds' until you choose to remain neutral on this issue. Burger King here we come!!!!" "McDonald's should concentrate on serving food, not promoting homosexuality, which is, by the way, against God's intentions and instructions." "I wrote to you when I first learned of your corporate support for the gay cause. Now I've learned you didn't listen to any of our concerns and have renewed your support. Since you won't be neutral on this topic, I won't be neutral about my support of your business. There won't be any until I see that our food dollars will go toward causes that are more appropriate for a family restaurant. I'm disappointed that our boycott has become necessary, but at least we will no longer be vicariously supporting something that offends our values and beliefs." "I can't believe that MacDonald opted to support a minority of the population and go against the majority of the Americans in this important issue. We are done with MacDonald, and since I am an Asian-American community activist, and I'd make every effort to inform my communities in support of our effort to boycott MacDonald until they change their decision to support the Gay agenda in this country." "How hard is it to just stay neutral. We are not telling you who you can and can not love, but we are telling you that we too will show our support for something. My support will be for family values. I speak three languages and I use my languages to communicate with hundreds of businesses each week. Many times I have met with associates at Mac D's for lunch or dinner. I have a stack of receipts well into the thousands of dollars that will now go to other businesses. Just one last comment to the top executives. In World War II right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was quoted in saying "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." McDummies you have just done the same thing!!!" "Ray and Joan Kroc always stood for caring for people in a way that reflected Christian values that supported the traditional family. This was exemplified by their philanthropic support, which included Operation Cork (an alcoholism education program), The St. Vincent de Paul Joan Kroc Center for the Homeless, The San Diego Hospice's palliative care center, Ronald McDonald House for the families of critically ill children, and The Salvation Army's Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Rolando, CA. Surely Mr. & Mrs. Kroc would be appalled by your active support of anti-traditional family organizations like the NGLCC that advocate a deviant, sexually depraved lifestyle. This support is absolutely contrary to the average citizen's conception of what McDonald's has stood for over the years. McDonalds must take a neutral stance and cease providing active support to homosexual groups. This does not mean I advocate the persecution of homosexuals." "Dear sirs, Your business has long been a family supported industry. Why turn against the family that has made you succesful. The lost in integrity will bring aloss in profits. It is your lack of gratefulness that will cost you in the end. Please reconsider.. David N Rogers Toomsboro, Ga. 31090" "Your choice to support the homosexual movement is just one more nail in America's coffin. How long will we continue to be a blessed nation if we continue in these ways? God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. What do you suppose He thinks of those who support that sin? My family will no longer be at your drive through. Please reconsider." "I will no longer patrnize McDonalds" "Growing up I was of course a huge McDonald's fan and the same goes for my kids, but I can not and will not support the homosexual agenda. I have two kids who think they are great but I would rather go to Dairy Queen or Jack In The Box. At least their meat is real and tastes good, and besides God does not support homosexuality. I hope you go belly up.Good riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!" "For years we have eaten at your restaurant. For years have taken teens to Christian functions and ALWAYS stopped at McDonald's. I am sorry to see that you choose to ignore God's teachings against homosexualism. Our world is becoming more and more wicked and this is only making it more so. We will never eat at another McDonald's, we will not take children or grandchildren there. We will see that all of our friends know of this, and recommend they act in like manner. I am sorry that you have chosen not to follow God's laws. I wonder where your future customers will come from since 2 males or 2 females cannot procreate." "I can no longer purchase items from McDonald's until you correct your decision regarding the support of the gay lifestyle. I will also inform my friends and family." "Burger King - here I come!" "McDonald's just lost my business and I will make sure that none of my children or grandchildren will eat there again. I strongly believe in Christian and moral values and what better place to talk about it than around the 'dinner table'. I'd rather go find a 'family friendly dinner table' somewhere else. Farewell McDonald's ... at least until you let us know you've changed your mind and WANT to be family friendly again. I feel sorry for you if you keep on walking this road. I don't see too many gay/lesbian people 'making babies' to bring you a next generation of customers. I suppose you don't think about those things hey? What about a good business plan? In a few words ... STOP this nonsense and keep on catering for the people who MADE you who you are!!!" "MacDonald's is not the only food in town, I can and will gladly forgo the opportunity to eat there and will discourage my family and others from doing the same." "I take one of my kids to breakfast every Monday morning. It looks like we'll have to find another place. It's too bad, it was becoming quite a tradition." "I have always loved and supported McDonald's. However, since you have chosen to support a lifestyle that is against what I believe, it is no longer possible for me to spend any money at McDonald's. If at any time you choose to re-think your decision, I will be willing to re-think my decision. My family and I numbering 43 strong, are all in complete agreement of avoiding McDonald's completely." "I thought McDonald's cared about children, but not anymore. You are now the clear enemy of children and a friend to those who prey upon them. The Bible calls homosexuality an abomination, but McDonald's has chosen to reject God and to embrace evil. You will never get any more money from me or my family. I intend to tell everyone I know about your stance." "It is sick, disgusting and deplorable to weasle money from good families and spend it on the homosexual "Agenda". It is a crime to portray mcdonalds as a "Family" restuarant all the while seeking to destroy the very same "Families". Gay and Families will never be synonomus. I will not buy anything from mcdonalds, but I will do everything possible to discourage others from supporting your disgusting business." "If McDonald's supports the campaign against the traditional family, which is the foundation of American society, than I nor my family, nor my extended family, nor any of my friends shall ever eat there again. Moreover, I will post this news on my website, on facebook, and everywhere else I can think of." "Shame on you!!! Our family will no longer be eating at your restaurants. Will be passing the word along to everyone we know. Hope you rethink this and change your mind. We live in a very small area and there's not many places to choose from to eat, but now we can definitely eliminate one-- "McDonald's" from our small list. Good-bye until you change your mind!!" "I am sickened by the decision to continue to support pervertedness even after being asked to remain neutral. I have always enjoyed taking my children there to play and eat, but until you change your status on supporting perversion I will no longer support you as a company. I pray that your heart will be changed as that will be what changes your mind. Your business WILL suffer, just ask the Ford Motor Company. I will not support anyone that supports something totally anti-Christ." "McDonalds you built your business on the family and being a great place to take your kids. If you want my business or the business of my children and grandchildren you will not support something that tears away family values and the morals of our society. I believe that you should love the sinner but hate the sin so I shall pray for you but will not support your choice with my hard earned dollars." ""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Repent/turn from your sins including this one of supporting a sinful, reprobate, and decadent lifestyle and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. He will transform your life, your thoughts, your actions, your words--and give you eternal life resulting in true peace, indescribable joy, and purpose for living on this earth, plus give you the assurance of heaven when you die if you will sincerely trust in Him and His work at the cross and during His resurrection where He paid our sin debt (we owed a debt we could not pay, and He paid a debt He did not owe), and He purchased a place in heaven for us. You must turn from your sins and place your trust and faith in Jesus Christ; He is the only way to the Father and to heaven." "I am very disappointed that McDonalds has not seen the wisdom in remaining neutral. McDonalds has always been part of our lifestyle, but no more. I attend a church of over 3,000 in the Chicago suburbs and I consider this boycott a way to show my child what it means to stand up for your faith." "I belong to a church of about 1000 people. Do you know how fast news travels through 1000 people that see each other a couple times a week? I've already begun spreading the news about how McDonald's is aligning itself with the homosexual lifestyle. Why are you doing this? It must be that you fear them. What a shame - I've seen others fear gay groups only to have it blow up in their face. I humbly ask that you repent and not go the way of Ford. They finally repented, but the damage has been done. Hopefully they are on their way back up now. We want to support McDonald's, but can't if you aggressively and perversely go against God and how He defines marriage and family." "I am so tired of big businesses supporting the homosexual movement. It is a sin, read your Bible. No matter what you say or how you try to defend it, most people aren't buying it. Personally, you won't even have a 2nd chance with me because neither I, my immediate family or any of my friends will eat there anymore. We will find a clean and decent 'Family' restaurant." "I personally think that you should have remained neutral in this matter and concentrated on making fast food!!!! Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. LEVITICUS 18:22 Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. Mark 7:20-23 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' " I have currently stopped at least 12 other families from eating at McDonald's ever again." "I'm not a fan of McDonalds food, but my kids like to go there because it's the closest playland around. Now, we're committed to driving a few extra miles for a playland and lunch because we refuse to support the homosexual agenda." "I am so disappointed that McDonald's is choosing to support such an inappropriate cause. I can't imagine a family restaurant running off families in favor of gays and lesbians. Did you not learn from Ford's mistake? God allowed you your success-you're not entitled to it. He will not allow you to disgrace His kingdom and continue to flourish. Back off in supporting this agenda, please. I can assure you my family will not bve eating at your restaurants until this matter is settled." "I used to enjoy stopping a Mc Donald's for breakfast, their coffee is the best. However, I will no longer be doing this. I am also letting my friends and family know of McDonald's position on the homosexual lifestyle. It's sad to see such a large corporation that desires to help destroy the family and thus our great country." "Oh the thousands of dollars my family has spent at McDonalds over the years. Thousands. From here on out I will not purchase anything from McDonalds because of their gay agenda." "Family restaurant? Not anymore. We'll take the family elsewhere." ""I usually stop every day on the way home from work for an "afternoon snack" and then take my kids to Mickey D's on the weekend. Sometimes I even take home dinner for the whole family but not any more. Its not about anything but the fact that you are supporting a perverted lifestyle that is against me and my families morals."" "My family will be watching to see if you change your position to one that reflects family values, if not, we will have it our way at Burger King." "I will join in the boycott. It is a shame McDonalds had to bow to the Radical homosexual shake-down." "I frequently stop at McDonald's on the way home from work. I can not continue to do so as long as McDonald's actively supports a homosexual agenda. McDonald's isn't the only place open late." "Your success will soon be coming to a halt. There are too many CHRISTians that will read this story and will immediately change fast food establishments. The Golden Arches will fall." "As a former owner/operator of 2 McDonald's franchises, I am deeply saddened by the decision McDonald's has made to partnership with the gay and lesbian community. I cannot imagine the decisions my family and I would have to make if we were still associated with McDonald's. Our relationship with McDonald's over the years has been a very positive one, and we were hopefully a light of hope and charity in our community. But now I am shocked and perplexed where such a decision came. Make all the excuses you care to, but it all boils down to money. Surely not everyone in this company was aboard with this decision. Where are those voices? Were they ever heard? This is not the neutral issue that you may think it is. McDonald's, you have been gravely deceived!" "I stop quite frequently at McDonald's, this will stop until they change their stand. I will encourage all my family and friends and ask them to do the same. I hope McDonald's realizes how wrong this is and changes their stance." "I NOW LOVE BURGERKING,THE NARROW WAY IS NOT HARD IN THIS CASE,AND MANY WILL JOIN IN." "There are just too many burger places to chose from anyway, thanks McDonalds for narrowing it down. I will miss the fresh fruit and yogurt menu items. Sorry, gotta take a stand on this. Joan in Kansas." "Since McDonald's chooses to not remain neutral, neither do. So long Ronald, so long Big Mac." "McDonald may think that we protesters are just a few in numbers, compared to the many more comsumers who will continue to do business with the kingdom of McDonald. Their business won't be hurting. Well..., get your bellies full and when your days on earth is expired, you will not be able to inheret the KINGDOM OF GOD! We are boycotting because we care for the lost souls, who are decieved thinking that homosexuality should be accepptalble by everyone (God including), and that's just the way life is... If you can "handle the TRUTH", read in the book of Galatians 5:19 and in the book of II Timothy 3rd chapter. Oh, these books can be found in the "Holy Bible"!" "I liked to stop at Mickey D's and would take the grandbabies for a bite to eat....now I have to explain to them that we can't do that anymore since they (Mickey D's) help to support things that God is against. Since they are still little I don't feel it appropriate to give details...yet!" "As with Ford Motor Company, you have lost me as a customer. I will not help to finance your support of a perverted lifestyle. When the homosexual in your company who began this insanity is no longer with your company and you end this support, I will be back, along with my family and friends." "I am so very disappointed that McDonald's has chosen this path of wickedness. Only 1 man and 1 woman can create life. That is how God intended families to be. I will not eat at any McDonald's until they change their support of the gays agenda. I will tell my family and friends to boycott too." "Sorry McDonalds...My family refuses to be part of your empire by supporting you. Until you reverse this decision and apologize, we will go elsewhere to eat." "I've always considered McDonalds to be a "famly" place to eat. A fun place to take the kids. I'll not take my family to a place that supports the homo agenda. It's too bad you don't have the backbone to make the right choice." "I've always considered McDonalds to be a "famly" place to eat. A fun place to take the kids. I'll not take my family to a place that supports the homo agenda. It's too bad you don't have the backbone to make the right choice." "As much i enjoy your food for so many years, i will not patronize your stores anymore until you change your position on the homosexual agenda and remain neutral. i don't hate gays, neither does God but His word speaks against it along with any other sinful lifestyle." "Just great! I have four small children who love McDonalds and now I have to tell them a great place to eat is helping ruin the lives of other human beings. How can I take them there in good conscience now? Why can't you guys just sell freaking Filet of Fish sandwiches and leave divisive social commentary to the politicians?" "Chick-Fil-A now gets even more of my money. Their morals and food is so much better anyway. How can I not support a company that gives it's employees off on Sundays to worship? I won't miss McD's. But if you, McD's, change your position on this subject, I and my family will be back for your apple pies & sundaes!" "Goodbye McDonald's. I hope and pray the corporation abandon's the homosexual agenda ASAP." "We are frequent McDonalds customers and have several favorite menu items. I will especially miss my coffee, snack wraps and apple and walnut salad, but we must take a stand to support the attack on family values. We always viewed McDonalds as a family oriented restaurant but realize that is no longer the case. We are disappointed by the blatant "in your face" arrogance of the McDonalds management decision to support the gay and lesbian lifestyle. It is sad to think that the company Ray Croc built has veered so far off course that you have forgotten and care nothing about how the majority of your customers feel on this important issue. I will make sure everyone I know is aware of this attempt to encourage and force the promotion of the gay and lesbian lifestyle on all of us." "Unfortuante for you, all the money I spent at McDonalds will no longer go into your registers. Rather it will go be directed to boycott McDonalds. Your video supports PRIDE for gays. Are you aware that pride is one on the 7 deadly sins? When it's advantageous to support high-profile political agendas, have you ever considered supporting the "Day of Prayer", or "prayer around the school's flagpole"?" "your company depends on famalies,why would you support homosexuals , I will not spend my money at your place of business- that includes my whole family....no more gift cards for the grandkids ...I pray you will reconsider this decision. I am a christian, it is not the person I object to ---it is their actions-it is against God's plan thank you for reading this. a grandmother in branson, Mo." "My family and I will no longer eat at McDonalds until they change their decision to remain neutral and no longer support this harmful agenda." "Since McDonald's chooses to not remain neutral, neither do. So long Ronald, so long Big Mac." "McDonalds has bowed to the lowest. I will not patronized until they make a complete reversal af their homosexual stand." "I am sorry to hear of your decision to support a self destructive loveless lifestyle and cause your supporters so much saddness and disappointment. The sinner is to be loved, hate the sin. You are deeply disillusioned about the nature of human hearts. We will pray for your enlightenment and your future decision to remain neutral , maybe support the Unborn baby who is a human being and cannot speak for himself loud enough to be heard. E. Cumbo,Plainfield, Il." "McDonalds has always been considered a family place, but any corporation that openly supports/condones anti-family "lifestyles" will NOT have my business nor that of my family. Homosexuality is NOT a lifestyle choice, it is an illness of the mind and is a sin against God and our bodies. Shame on you, McDonalds." "I have four small grand kids that love a good McDonald's happy meal. Why don't you stay selling food? We are no longer going to visit your restaurants. You made the choice to support the homosexual agenda, we make the choice not to buy happy meals from you all." "Wow MCdonald's there are a lot of comments from your past customers. I am also a past customer. No longer will I eat at your establishment due to your backing of Gays and Lesbians" "i'm not surprised, just very disappointed...inch by inch, day by day, the morality in America is eroding partly because of the homosexual agenda...i'm sad that we won't be able to patronize McD's because of this...we bid you a bitter farewell." "Look, everyone has participated in making McDonalds the largest food service business in the world. McDonalds is successful because for over 40 years, hardworking families have decided to allow McDonalds to be successful. We are sick and tired of having all this anti-family, anti-moral, anti-faith brainwashing thrown at us from everywhere. We are tired of it and we are not going to accept it from our favorite hamburger joint. Are you willing to please 100,000 and alienate 5 billion? Wake up McDonalds." "I never cared for McD's anyway but my grandchildren and great grandchildren love it. They loved playing in the play area but that will not happen again as long as they are with me. I love your snack yogurt for breakfast but find that I can make my own version as well. To bad that you have to follow in Ford's footsteps and support a very anti God, anti normal way of life. God said to love the sinner not the sin...well folks love McD but for your love of the sin of the gay and lesbian community you will suffer. Take note that Ford has lost it's standing as a number one car dealership not from high gas prices but from their stand with the g and l lifestyle. Just remember that you sow what you reap. We might be seeing signs showing the decline in how people have been served." "I don't believe that anyone as a business especially that deals with children should be supporting the homesexual agenda. The issue is really about sexual preference and this issue should be a mon-issue. It is not about rights, we have all got the freedom to choose, but not to flaunt you choice before the world. Who cares who you go to bed with. I don't." "Big mistake McDonalds. You are adding to the downfall of America. Goodby." "Since McDonald's has chosen to support the gay lifestyle, I have stopped eating at McDonald's and have told my friends about the boycott. Until I hear that McDonald's has given up supporting the dangerous gay lifestyle, I'll keep eating elsewhere." "I started eating at McD's in 1964 when it was a hot new family drive-thru in Tacoma, WA. What a drag that I will no longer be taking my grandchildren there to eat and play after school and church. My 3 grown kids and their mates agree to boycott you because your values totally polarize ours. Homosexuality is not an alternative life style. It is opposed to everything about life and real families. It is perversion at it's best and I've had my last Mc Perv burger as have all 18 of my immediate family and the other 54 of my extended family. Hope McDonald's stocks crash like your misguided gay agenda will. I don't hate gays, just what they do. I have seen them set free to enter productive heterosexual lifestyles by the grace of God. In the name of Jesus Christ they can be set free for good. Exodus ministries helps the struggling homosexual . . ." "No more . The I am ok you are ok is not gaining you a thing. Every Pastor, Preacher, Minister etc. should be handing out the boycot news at every given chance. You think the wildfires in California spread fast - just wait and see what happens!" "This is a very shameful decision on the part of Mcdonalds. I consider it a shame to be noticed entering the doors of this establishment. Therefore my business will go elsewhere along with many, many others." "The homosexual lifestyle is damaging emotionally, physically, and spiritually to the GLBT community which you claim to be supporting. Because I love homosexuals, Bisexuals, and trans-gendered people I highly disapprove of their destructive lifestyle. For this reason I am making the decision not to support McDonald's until it chooses to remain neutral or even to actually HELP homosexuals by taking a stand against what is destroying them. If McDonald's really supports tolerance it would remain neutral because by not remaining neutral on this issue McDonald's is being highly intolerant of a very large group of people in this country (all those who uphold God's moral law)." "It is a shame that your company(McDonalds) is willing to alienate the general public with your pro-gay agenda. Would you also promote pre-marrital relations for teens? You are willing to affect worthwhile education and programs like Ronald Mc Donald House to be politicaly correct. Scratch my coffee stops off your list of consumers." "I have always enjoyed McDonald's since my children were born. I believe it was one of the first words that my daughter learned to say when she saw the golden arches. I am saddened to hear the stand that McDonald's has chosen. Until McDonald's changes their view on this and stops condoning the Homosexual agenda, I will no longer take my grand children there to eat and play. We will choose Burger King instead." "We will not be taking our church kids to McDonald's nor will I buy their covered ice cream cones." "You have just lost this family from patronizing your premises!!!! Will alert all my relatives and friends since we just found out that you are supporting homosexuals. Let the homos patronize your facility from now on." "McDonald's money would be better spent on St. Jude's Hospital or some other charitable organization that would benefit the innocent. They will not get another penny of my hard earned money to help support this un-natural life style." "Homosexuality is not a racial, genetic, or ethnic issue. Homosexuality is about behavior. I won't spend another penny at McDonald's until support of "gay" and "lesbian" agenda by McDonald's has ended. I will be passing this information on to all my associates." "We have patronized McDonald's since they have been a restaurant but will no longer if this is their stand." "I'm very disappointed. I think you make the best chicken sandwiches and choco shakes. But it's not worth it when you're willing to harm society just to get on the board." "You just lost another long-time customer, until you reverse your decision to support the homosexual agenda. Shouldn't family values take priority over supporting a sinful lifestyle?" "My grandchildren and I were regulars at our local McDonalds. Now when they ask me to take them there, I can only tell them that McDonald's has chosen to do some things that are not good for them. They are sadden and so am I. I thought McDonald's was a place that valued families." "Why do homosexuals need sponsoring? They can take care of themselves just as good as anyone else. In fact they statistically make more money than the average American. I loved it when you helped my second cousin at the "Ronald McDonald House" when he had cancer. Those are people with real needs. I will not eat at McDonald's until your decision to sponor this unnecessary cause is reversed." "We are a family of 35 people and we are boycotting McDonalds for supporting this ungodly group. Remember what happened to Sodom & Gommorah." """I stop at McDonald's often when I am On the road. Since you choose to not remain neutral on this issue, which is a slam to traditional families, I choose to eat somewhere else for the time being. In case you are unaware of the fact, two men or two women can not procreate, therefore you are supporting a group of people that will have a very difficult time giving birth to your future customers.I will be sure to tell all of my family and friends and any one else who cares about this issue. It is my hope that you will reconsider your position.""" "My family will not eat at McDonald's any more. You have chosen to not remain neutral on this issue, which goes against traditional family values. We hope you will rethink your stand." "My family and I have frequented local McDonald restaraunts in our local hometown as well as while traveling. I stop every morning for a large iced vanilla coffee and chicken biscuit. In addition to my order, often times I buy for ALL my co-workers. I will not support McDonald's anylonger. I do not think that I as a parent should teach my children to support a business who provides support for homosexduality! I am very sadden of your choice and hope that you will soon reconsider!" "Dear McDonald's: I am very disappuinted about your support of the gay and lesbian movement. Your corporation has always catered and supported the family and and gay and lesbians are not for family conservation.They only want themselves. My family has always felt at home in McDonald's, not anymore. We will have to find another place, a family oriented place. We hope you see the truth." "Our family will not be eating at McDonald's, until McDonald's refuses to support the gay and lesbian agenda." "I am calling a "time out" for our family of 24. We have enjoyed McDonalds since the first one opened in Gainesville, Florida where we lived in the '60s~~ Bye Bye McDonalds, we will miss you BUT there is always Wendy's!!! Friends will follow us as I have a BIG MOUTH!!!!!" "We used to get your breakfast burritos often. We have 5 kids and travel alot for sports. Now it's inconvenient, but NO WAY will we spend a penny to promote such immorality. Please reconsider..." "I will never send my grandchildren to McDonalds again and will tell other church members your views." "I used to stop in the morning and get some breakfast and our Church Teen Group used to meet there sometimes, but not anymore!! Ever since we first found out about your support of the homosexual agenda, we immediately stopped. ALL OF US!! And we have put the word out, NO MORE McDonalds!!" "Is there anyone out there for our children? McDonald's isn't good for anyone. Never another penny to McDonald's. They won't change internally, just secretly. Good-Bye Ronald!" "We have officially switched to Burger King, a much more family friendly environment." "I never thought that bad behavior would be accepted and supported and would become an issue that has totally disrupt the foundation this country was based on. Hate the sin, love the sinner, but don't take away the rights of others by making laws to protect immoral bad behavior." "As a child, I always looked at McDonald's as a "family friendly" restaurant; unfortunately, McDonald's has chosen to stray from its roots and obvious traditional family values! Now that I am a mother, I will not be bringing my children in for another "happy meal" until McDonald's corrects their decision. As Christians, we can love the sinners without embracing the sin. Homosexuality is not a lifestyle that is part of God's perfect design of marriage and family. I am very saddened by this news." "Looks like McDonalds has joined with Ford, now we can watch their sales drop to...Too Bad, Even though I refussed to take my Grandchildren to that Garbage Can for lunch.." "I strongly support McDonald's rights to run their business as they see fit, but since they have chosen to support a lifestyle that is completely contrary to my Christian beliefs, I cannot and will not continue to do business with them. That is my right. If they change, my family and I will return, but until they do we will do business with Burger King." "What is this world coming to. I have not eaten in Mc'Ds is awhile and now I know why. God does not approve of this why should we. I will not eat there again even if it is forever. I would rather eat with family at home where we appreciate the Bible and its words." "My family and I will no longer be visiting McDonalds. I will pass this information on to my friends also." "For years now, my Mother had me purchase McDonald's gift certificates for her great grandchildren. In December 2008, gift certificates will now be purchased from Wendy's. No more McDonald's in this household for children or adults.I will surely pass the word along to other relatives and friends." "We have a New Mc Donalds and I enjoyed it but now we have not been back since you are Promoting the homosexual agenda.It is not of God. We will not eat there anymore till you stop supporting this." "I'll be happy to eat more Italian food ...and no more McDonald's!" "How disappointing for me to hear about your support of the gay agenda. You've sold your soul, and what will you gain?" "Do you not realize that there are alot of people that have been eatting at McDonalds that will not support your position on the gays!! My family and friends will not spend money at your restaurant until McDonalds reverses decision of support of this gay agenda" "When I told my son that we would eat McDonalds again if they stop their support of homosexuals, he said," No, Moma, because their heart is still there."" "i thought mcdonalds was a family restuarant. i am so sad, because i loved their food. sonic it is!!!!!!!" "15 or more years of Sunday breakfasts, an end to this chapter in our lives. It was home for breakfast today." "And what perversion will you support next--sex between an adult and a child, a husband with many wives, slave sex for sale??? Down through history many have tried to change the Biblical morality standards for their own perversions of morality. Paul spoke to them in his day as the Corinthians were perverse. I will not be coming in your doors anymore." "I am so disappointed that McDonald's would take a political stand on an issue that is so against traditional American values. The fact that you would market to children and their families, then support this filth is disgusting. I have not purchased $1 worth of product from your establishment since you have taken this stand and will encourage everyone else I know to boycott you as well. It is time that U.S. corporations understand that the U.S. consumer cares very much about where it spends its money and that we have a choice, particularly when it comes to something so small and insignificant as a hamburger!" "Sigh...This is a very sad thing. My love for gay and lesbian people will not let me support McDonald's anymore. To condone this lifestyle is to keep people trapped in a lie of destruction. We do them no favors by winking an eye. Love all sinners with the truth (heterosexual, homosexual or whatever!)." "My children and Ilove to go to McDonald's, but we will go else where until the corporation returns to a neutral positon. Too bad, Ilove McDonald's coffee - but small sacrifice to avoid support of an evil agenda." "No more McDonald trips with my great grandchildren. What a shame. Change your position and I willchange my mind." "Hi. McDonalds turns a blind eye to the social, health, mental, & spiritual cosequences to homosexuality and can no longer be trusted as a family restaraunt." "You continue your support of those who practice Sodomy and I will cease eating at your restaurant. Pity, I like eating your hamburgers. Incidentally, this message is from Belgium - the boycott has reached further than the USA." "I have been a worker for McDonalds for 10 years. I have actively supported Ronald McDonald house and the family values McDonalds "USED TO SUPPORT". I will be looking for employment elsewhere. In clear conscience I cannot be a Christian and support an organization that is in direct conflict with my beliefs." "I guess that the Board of Directors @ McDonalds could be considered anti Christian.. The Bible teaches us that God made Adam & Eve .. NOT EVE & EVE and not ADAM & ADAM.. In order for God to have descendants for our world he created man & woman and as far as I believe and have been taught, he intended for life to be that way.. Evidently, the powers that be @ McDonalds don't see it that way or they wouldn't support and defend thes homosexuals and all. I just wonder what those same folks will say on Judgement Day when God may tell them "Depart from me, I never knew you" and they could be cast into Eternal Hell.. I will just pray that their minds & hearts are changed before that time. Meanwhile, I will not eat or drink anything from McDonalds and will tell everyone I know.." "i don't eat often at McD's but i won't eat there again until they reverse this madness." "I too travel & eat out a lot and with the last name"Mac Donald" there has alaways been a type of connection there until now. When McDonald's pulls back from support of the gay lifestyle, then I will once againg begin to eat with them again. Till then, there are many Wendy's, Burgerkings, Hardees, Andys, and others that I will eat with. This Mac Donald will not be a Mc Donald customer no more!!" "We will no longer support McDonald's. We now eat at Burger King when we want a burger." "McDonald's has always been a family oriented icon and for them to side with the homesexuals which is not only moral wrong, but they make up a small percentage of the world's population is like a slap in the face for traditional families who frequently support McDonald's every time they buy from their menu. How about not siding with what's considered "Politically Right"" "I don't understand why McDonald's felt a need to put financial resources behind the gay/lesbian movement. It runs counter to McDonalds being a family restaurant. While I rarely patronize McDonalds, except for your fries, I will not bring my grandchildren to Mickey D's any longer. This was so unnecessary." ""It's about doing what's right...and supporting the "same sex marriage agenda" is not right!" God created Adam and Eve and that's how we should keep things!" "I pray blessings on your establishment and pray for your minds to be opened to God's way. His way, is not homosexuality. I choose not to support your business because you are choosing to put your personal practices above the family values that I thought McDonald's represented. I pray for change and for your values to line up with His after all, all things are possible with God." "I believe that homosexuals are people who are sinners just like me. Without accepting Christ's forgiveness and repenting of their sin, however, they are destined for Hell. I am so saddened by this, as the gay community needs our love - even if we don't agree with what they do! Homosexuality is wrong, it is sin, and I will boycott McDonald's because sin should not be encouraged. I do not hate homosexuals, I am just very sad for them." "The good folks at AFA are usually not very good at returning emails to clarify some questionable point that they are claiming in order for us to join the boycott. I have learned to contact the companies that are in question to hear their side of they story before joining. Mcdonalds did in fact return my email and verified what is being claimed so I will be joining the boycott and taking my business elsewhere. We have a nice Family oriented Chik-filet nearby that will see an increase in my business!" "GOD'S HOLY WORD SPEAKS WHY I CANNOT SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY AND MCDONALDS. ROM 1:26-27 & I TIM 1:10" "Occasionally, I have to have a "McDonalds fix". But I will no longer be needing one. I will not knowingly spend my money in a business that is promoting the moral decline of families in America. My money is actually God's money anyway. He has blessed me with the opportunity to manage it for Him, and I know He no longer approves of a "McDonald's fix."" "Families will be hard to come by with gays & lesbians supporting you. Goodbye McDonald's!" "I have eaten at McDonalds for many years, at least once a week...but no longer. Because I have a family, and support those values, I can no longer eat at McDonalds. I would appreciate it if everyone would start posting the names of McDonald's competition that has remained neutral on the issue. Thanks and God Bless." "I was saddened to learn that a supposedly family eating place would take a stand supporting the homosexual community. A McDonald's is a couple of blocks from our home and we go there very often, at least we used to go there often. That has changed now and we will no long eat at McMonald's nor will many of our family and friends." "I no longer plan to visit any Mc "D"s until they change their position! Neither will my future generations! They were frequent visitors; the whole family!" "We (and our children and grandchildren) have been eating at the once family friendly McDonald's for years. I think Mr. Ray Kroc would be appalled at the action you have taking in actively and financially supporting the NGLCC and the whole gay and lesbian agenda. Well, I just want McDonald's to know I just forwarded their refusal to remain neutral in the culture war to all our family and friends and expect that they will do the same - as so many have already indicated. Guess McDonald's got tired of being America's favorite fast food place, eh?" "My daughter loves McDonalds but I guess we'll have to start frequenting Wendy's until you come to your senses - please reconsider - you can still be diverse in your hiring policies and such, but to give money to the cause is very sad - I would not want to stand in your shoes on judgement day." "I have been trying to avoid eating fast food for some time now, but would on occasion stop for a bite at McDonald's. In light of this news I have no problem obstaining from eating there. I and my family will be happy to find an alternative. So much for being a family friendly restaurant." "I am the matriarch of a very large family that has been patrons of your establishment for many, many years and sad to say, our relationship will now cease...if your company chooses to promote the homosexual agenda, our family will no longer consider your restaurants as family oriented. What a shame that you have decided to change your image to promote something that is not the same thing that God wants for the families that have helped to make your company such a success over all these years. SHAME ON YOU!! I do hope you will change your mind about whom to sponsor." "i refuse to do business with McDonald's until they change their position on supporting homosexual marriage." "We live in a tourist area and there are a lot of fast food restaurants. We do not eat out often, but when we do it is at McDonalds. I am sorry to say that they will longer be our choice. I can not support a company that supports such immorality. How extremely dissappointing." "We love McDonald's, but will not be eating there as long as you are pushing the homosexual agenda. We will spread the word that you are pro homosexual. There are lots of other places to eat--maybe not as good as McDonalds, but this will be our policy as long as your policy is to support what my Bible calls calls evil and an abomination to God. As soon as you reverse your decision to push the gay agenda, we will be back, but not until." "Pure and simple,I'm through with you.You have to be joking.you a family icon.well goodbye,my family and I will be dinning elsewhere." "Thank you McDonald's. Now I will save about $80 a week, or someone else will be getting it. My family and I will be having happier meals elsewhere." "I am so disappointed in your company! Your company has always been characterized as a family friendly company. I know I will tell everyone that I know that you are no longer family friendly and that you have an agenda against families by supporting gay pride. You can not be on the fence on this and you for some reason have chosen to loose your business and your soul as a company. Also, what a terrible position you have put your employees in to have to decide if they can continue to work for a company that believes it needs to support something that is against the moral values of family. By the way, although I prefer your hamburger and fries over BK, I will no longer frequent your company until you have relinguished this position." "I have a 2 year old daughter who was beginning to love your restaurant but now I will make sure that we do not eat at your establishment. I agree that McDonalds is loosing touch with the Majority of Americans. Your status in my eyes is very low right now. I will pass this on too." "How sad that McDonald's has chosen to ignore is customer base of traditional families in favor of supporting and furthering the homosexual agenda! Please do your social science homework and realize the homosexual lifestyle is a dead end and will weaken and ultimately destroy our nation. Though my kids will be bummed, we will not be going to McDonald's anymore." "I will no longer take my kids to McDonald's no matter how much they want the toys! The food is not that good anyway." "Just when we started loving your new menus and frequenting our local store - you decide to support the Gay agenda. Well this family will no longer patronize McDonalds until you publically withdraw your support of this very immoral lifestyle." "Its a sad day that a major corporation decides to be exclusive only to alternate lifestyles and leaves out its bread and butter customers. My family of 8 and my employees have made a choice too. Spend our money where all customers are valued....family friendly, cultural neutral venues only. Is McD's gonna give to Christian Ministries like the AFA....I think not. Choose your wars wisely McD's it's your bottom line, not mine." "McDonald's are you just gambling on the American people to be so blind or uninformed that this goes unnoticed. I intend to tell anyone that will listen, to boycott your restaurant. Is it really the "restaurant business" that has always targeted small children to now be endorsing and promoting gay and lesbians. Maybe, just maybe, you have finally hit a nerve with the REAL American mom's and dad's whose paychecks can be directed to ANOTHER, ANY OTHER, fast food restaurant, but yours! How dare you target innocent children as your patrons since McDonald's conception and now take this position on homosexuality! How dare you be so irresponsible! Any mom or dad reading this, PLEASE, PLEASE take your children anywhere else to eat, but not McDonals' until they change their aggenda." "Dear Mr. Ceo, What you do sexually is between you and God but to take a Restaurant and make it about sexuality is not just stupid it's Crazy! What are you thinking? Look at Ford, don't let your sin blind you, We will pray for you and your company and we won't be back, till you decide to remain neutral which is the only real choice here," "It's sad,but I will no longer take my Grandkids to Mc'Donald's until you stop supporting gay rights.I pray that you will change your mind." "I am stunned that McDonalds' would step out of it's family oriented philosphy to support any idea that is not family oriented. The gay and lesbian lifestyle is not family oriented, it is a sexual choice between two people. What does that have to do with family? What is the benefit to McDonald's to contribute money to an organization whose main goal is to promote sexual deviation? I just don't get it. Until McDonald's wakes up and smells the stench of what they have done, I personally will not enjoy anymore of their coffee (which is the best), their salads (which are awesome). Anyone whom I have any influence over I intend to do so." "My grandparents now have over 75 decendants who will not be eating at McD's, neither will any of the inlaws, I really thin that they need to rethink this position. I know some wonderful people who are Homosexual who think the same way!" "Mc D's has been a favorite outing spot for me and my grandkids since my first one was born almost 22 years ago . I aways thought it was a wholesome place for families to support but no more for me and I will encourage everyone I Know to boycott it has no MORAL character left so therefore I will no longer frequent your restaurants as long as you support of people who are supporting the gay lifestyle and slapping JESUS CHRIST in the face.. I pray GOD will have mercy on your soul MR CEO because someday you will have to answer for this" "A Family oriented restaurant franchise such as McDonalds should not be involved with this 'fad culture uprising by todays Gay and Lesbian populations'. McDonalds should be a restaurant and a fair employer and its corporate sexual orientations or preferances be their own business..now they will no longer see mine and if I have any pull with my adult children and their young children..neither will they." "Why would a few in McDonald’s leadership chose to subject franchisees and shareholders to this maelstrom of controversy and declining profitability? Whose agenda and interests are the serving?" "It's the end of an era; I took our first child to McDonald's in 1979. Our first grandchild was born 2 months ago; she will grow up in a world without McDonald's. To think that one man whose thinking is darkened, illiterate of what the Bible says about homosexuality (Romans chapter 1, verse 27 among others), could bring down a huge corporation like McDonald's. Talk about "sign of the times"! Amazing." "What a shame that a formerly family-friendly, worldwide chain like McDonald's would take a stand for homosexuality. What a travesty that our children are being confused and misled by this unwholesome and perverse agenda. Traditional, godly values ARE backed by the dollar of those who choose not to support this unfortunate lifestyle. We are all sinners, saved by the grace of God, but in order to be forgiven, sin needs to be identified as sin and confessed, not accepted as right. May you change your minds, and not only because of the dollars you'll be losing." "Although my son and I have outgrown McDonald's and only occasionally eat at your restaurants--never again. I'll pass on this information to the others in my family (at least 20 individuals), some of whom still have young kids who frequent McDonald's. I hope they, too, will take a stand against the spread of the deviant homosexual lifestyle. The homosexual individual isn't the focus of my participation in this boycott, it is the large corporations who support and promote the normalization of the homosexual lifestyle that I have problems with. You are trying to ruin our nation and lead innocent children and confused adults into a lifestyle that will only lead to death. May God enlighten you with the truth." "Purchase the last Happy Meal for my grandkids until McDonalds learn what there business is. Stay out of any politics and in your line of business.((FOOD))" "I cannot tell you how disappointed I am that you've chosen to not remain neutral! I will not support businesses that do not uphold the biblical definition of a marriage. Sorry for you, McDonalds!" "Guess my famliy will start going to Hardees, or Burger King" "Your food is bad for the body anyway McDonald's, I'll have no problem giving it up. Besides, there is always BK or Wendy's if I ever have the urge for fast food. Thanks for narrowing down the choices!" "What are they thinking?! (Did they not notice what happened to Ford?) With so many restaurants to choose from, this decision was wrong on many levels. My family and I will certainly abstain from eating at McDonalds - and if that means forever, so be it." "We will no longer patronize McDonalds because you have taken action to financially support the Gay Activist movement which is undermining the tradional family values. We are informing all our family and friends of your position." "I am very disappointed in Micky D's stand on this issue. It's too bad they will not just be a business and serve the whole public by concentrating on good food and good service. Being "Politically Correct" has cost them our family's revenue. We will not support a business who actively supports a moral position our family is diametrically opposed to. {Excuse my bad grammer:)}" "Just as McDonald's has chosen to to support the gay and lesbian lifestyle, I am choosing to take my business elsewhere. I regret that a restaurant that has long supported families is now choosing to support homosexuality instead." "(Mcdonald)What is so important about supporting homosexual agendas that you are willing to lose thousand of customers? Aren't there more important issues to be concerned about? Like high gas/food prices, hungry/sick children, and the economy. With the way things are going do you really think you can afford to lose customers? Well, you have lost me and my goal is to make sure you lose as many customers as possible until you reconsider. Remember one angry person can turn three times as many customers away from your business as one happy customer can bring." "I thought McDonald's was a place that was all about the families and the children. Shame on you for this behavior! We will no longer go to McDonald's nor will our family or friends!" "No more McDonald's, you take your stand, my family will take ours. Thanks for meals past, but it's over." "Stupid move, McDonald's: promoting the homosexual agenda. There are plenty of fast-food restaurants from which to choose ... you just removed yourself as a choice." "Hello McDonalds, An elephant is eaten one bite at a time and you can also move from the giant in the industry to another place one sandwich at a time. As a Christian, I stand with the Lord that what you are choosing to promote is an abomination. Until you become neutral regarding your support, my family will not light on your doorsteps." "NO MORE BREAKFAST PLATTERS FOR MY FOUR GRANDCHILDREN OR ANYTHING ELSE FROM MC DONALDS." "No more McDonalds for me or my family--PROMOTING the homosexual(not gay) agenda is unacceptable." "It's a sad day when the homosexual agenda becomes more important than being able to provide a meal at a good price to normal mainstream families in our society. Shame on you." "I've recently been in the habit of picking up a meal 3-4 times a month for the last few years...tasty food at a reasonable price and close to home. However, I don't want my burger place to shove their homosexual agenda down my throat. Heads up, Wendy's: your gonna be seeing more of me from now on." "McDonald's must be an abomination too for supporting these offensive causes instead of remaining neutral." ""For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD...", we are all sinners, God teaches us to hate the sin and love the sinner. God's word is constant and true, the same yesterday, today and forever. Right is right and wrong is wrong, unfortunately our world today is trying to create a new area of grey. Mcdonalds is a great example. Someone stated that we are not asking that they not be allowed to eat at mcdonalds, why I myself, a sinner, am allowed to eat at Mcdonalds. But, I dont ask nor do I want, mcdonalds to support or encourage my wrongdoings financially. What's next, well, at least for me and my family, we also have a choice! And we choose not to support mcdonalds!!!!!" "NO happy meals for my little boy, it's Burger King from now on." "I was hoping McDonald's would choose to take a more neutral stand. Starting today my children will be disappointed when I tell them we will no longer be eating at McDonald's because they have chosen to promote the advancement of the gay agenda. There are local christian establishments in town to get our fries, burgers, and flurries. I firmly believe everyone has the right to be treated equally and be respected as we are all created in God's image. But marriage was designed by God as a covenantal commitment between a man and a women. I hope that McDonalds's will reconsider their position." "So...just because you have homosexuals within your organization, that makes it okay to totally ignore the morals and standards of the majority of Americans who support your business? Dumb move! Watch your sales hit rock bottom now because of a very poor decision!" "Dear McD's: I am astounded to always find a business that finds it necessary to run their business by stating some kind of stand for someone's sexual preference? It is just as easy to say I don't care of someone's sexual preference for a position or to run a business! When I come in to order you don't ask my sexual preference, which you should not, it is irrevelant to the business. One of your many establishments is across the road, I usually get food from there in my busy schedule, not for now though. Please reconsider. Thank you." "I'm surprised and saddened that McDonald's has taken this deviant stand in support of the Gay agenda. I will actively abstain from eating there and will vocally protest, by spreading the news of your "gay" support." "Again I reiterate my opposition to McDonald?s support of the homosexual agenda because homosexuality is an abomination to God. Philip Gagnon" "As much as my boys love to go to McDonald's, they understand why we won't be giving our business to a company that has no moral responsibility." "I am saddened that one of my sons' favorite places to eat is choosing to support a cause that is so liberal and detrimental to American families. Our family will be spending our money elsewhere until McDonald's chooses to remain neutral in the homosexual agenda." "You have lost my family’s business due to your willingness to buy into the anti family point of view of the gay agenda. You are now pouring your money and staff into the direct building of their lifestyle and radical agenda. The prevision of sex by the life style that they try to push on the rest of the world is a direct attack on the family and the moral values that created a country that would allow your corporation to become what it is today. As worst you need to stay neutral on such social issues that are so perverse. When the child molesters, some day in the future, get a big enough political voice will McDonalds then buy into that line of moral value as important to the corporate bottom line? I say yes you will as shown by your choices today on this current moral argument." "i never thouth i would see the day mcdonalds chose to hate familys" "Another instance of one person's agenda overriding business sense. As Mr. Ford found out from the many letters FROM HIS DEALERS, the result of using the corporate muscle to promote his private agenda was HARM TO THE COMPANY'S NAME AND ECONOMIC DAMAGE TO THE EMPLOYEES! Like Mr. Bill Ford, Mr. Ellis and Ms. Harris are paid high salaries... they won't feel a bit of pain if their respective stores' sales fall like a rock. The economic power of their personal agenda will not override the power of the MAJORITY of their buying public, just ask Mr. Bill (or any of his many franchisees). To do my part, I will spread the word of this to as many folks as I can.... Ray Kroc would fire the whole bunch!" "I will be selling my stock in McDonalds tomorrow after reading this. I will not support or be a part of any corporation how supports what GOD hates." "I remember when McDonalds came to be. It was like home cookin and apple pie. I have grandchildren and now a great grandchild. I have always taken my grandchildren to McDonalds when I've had the privilege to see them. I also, have mentored many children and have also taken them to McDonalds to eat. One of my children recently told me she couldn't eat one more McDonalds meal because their family had already eaten 2 of their meals there that day. I could go on and on about the amount of time we as a family spend eating at McDonalds. Bottom line is that I will not support McDonalds in any way until there is a public apology from your corporation and the support of Gay and Lesbian organizations by McDonalds, stops." "There are many fast-food choices. Because of your CEO's choice to support the gay agenda, our family now chooses not to eat at McDonalds." "Stay neutral McDonalds--as you have taken a side. I don't see you promoting Christianity (religion) since it is about being diverse. However because you have chosen a side--I have also chosen not to eat at your facilities. GOD Bless--as you take a stand I pray others take their stand too." "I am so proud to see so many leave their comments here in support of the boycott. I am proud of all of you. McDonald's will not be getting my business anymore. My three children will be disappointed because they love the McGriddles, but I'm teaching them to stand for something so it'll be a great chance for them to learn that we don't support companies who are openly seeking to destroy the traditional family." "The video is enough for me! I'm the only in my family that likes McDonald's food, but I can break that real quick! Chick-fil-A, here we come!" "What a disgusting disgrace...your establishment was always viewed as a "Family Oriented" fun place. With your cheerful funloving clown mascot, Ronald. What business has a restaurant got to do with meddling in perverted lifestyles?"" "I only eat at McDonald's for my kids. Your stance on this issue is opposite what I want to teach my children, Therefor we will not be eating at McDonald's any time soon." "Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14" "It will be sad to see a company that has been around for so long just disappear because you made a decision that does not have anything to do with making burgers! It saddens me. Goodbye!" "We, as a family, will NOT patronize your restaurants at ANY locations. Please reconsider your stand on homosexuality. We will also encourage our friends not to eat at your establishments." "The Homosexual movement represents a small percentage of the popluation. You are choosing to support a special interest group who are making a "loud voice" but do not represent the majority. Why not stand up for what is morally correct? Homosexuality is a perversion of God's design no matter how one tries to justify it. The practice has been going on since sin entered the world. The only reason it "seems" acceptable in this day is because of the campaign for "tolerance." Our loving and Almighty God cannot tolerate sin. Hell is a real place - we will all spent eternity either in the presence of God or in the absence of God. Let's call it what it is. An organization as large as McDonalds should not promote the homosexual agenda and that is exactly what you are doing. To stand against it or at least remain neutral is far better than supporting it." "Not only are they going to help obesity, but support homosexuality. No thanks. I haven't been to McDonalds as much as I use to and I'm glad. No more once in a while either. Here in Texas we have Chic-fil-a and they are a christian organization and are closed on Sundays. Let's support their business." "i am sickened at this news and i will inform everyone that i know to not support you company any longer.i am a grandmother of 13 and a mother of 5 im sure if they tell everyone they know and multiply that by all those leaving their comments to stop supporting you...we will make a difference. I will pray that all those responsible will have a change of heart and reconsider thi choice." "McDonald's, have you counted the cost? I'm sure this will prove to be a very expensive venture to support a "human rights" initiative. Human rights initiatives don't include destructive sexual behaviors! We'll be spending our money elsewhere." "There is diversity and then there is activism. It would seem that McDonalds has chosen the latter." "McDonald's has been a part of my life for over 42 years. When family values for a family restaurant are thrown out the window so easily it is time to no longer support them. Until you choose God's way (which may be never)I choose to not support you. Our children (11 & 12) already know and say McD's is no longer an option for food." "There is a much larger community of faith than there are in the homosexual community. Not a very bright decision in my opinion.." "I truely love you sweet ice tea. Unfortunately no more. I will not give money to someone who promotes SIN." "It is surprising that McD's would make such an unwise FINANCIAL decision in the midst of people decreasing spending in general. My extended family of 31 will no longer patronize McDonald's as a result of their decision to support the gay lifestyle. I can only hope that the CEO and other decision makers will rethink this decision and realize the mass of customers they have alienated with this decision." "I'm so sorry to hear that a formerly family organization has made this choice to serve homosexuals. I cannot understand the benefit to families in America by supporting such agendas promoting the breakdown of families and confusion of young children and adults. I will encourage my family and others to eat elsewhere and make them aware of these choices by corporate MacDonalds." "Family restaurant? No more happy meals for my 6 children. We will go elsewhere, there are many choices near us. You made the wrong choice." "I not only pray that the current CEO will have a personal life-changing encounter with Jesus and that it will not only change his heart and mind but will also benefit those franchisees who rely on the corporate office's stand to benefit and not harm them. We have some strong Christian friends that own several McDonalds and it will unjustly harm them. May God help us in this situation to bless and protect those aligned with McDonalds who love and serve the Lord and their customers faithfully. It is time to step up our prayers over the situation." "I have enjoyed McDonald's since they open up many years ago in our town. It appeared to be a wonderful family oriented establishment. I will no longer be eating there and encourage my family to do the same." "I have boycotted WalMart and Ford and I have no problem boycotting McD's. I will also let others know how McD's desires to trash the family so they too will join in this world-wide boycott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Have been reluctant to boycott McDonald's because we like the food and prices. But my family will not support the gay agenda by eating at McDonald's from now on. There are some things you just have to do because it is the right thing to do." "I love McD's and so do my kids...just ate there yesterday. But after reading this email, no more business from my family. I hope you will seriously reconsider what you are doing." "Would you support the sexual "orientation" of customers &/or employees who were sexually "oriented" towards children?!? If not, then "sexual orientation" DOES MATTER!!! A FORMER customer!!!" "I have travelled to more than 35 countries and it was always great to see a part of home and step in for some of the greatest fries ever. No more even if I am looking for a little bit of home. Your stance with the homosexual agenda has ended my patronage. I will also pass this on to my family. Get a grip." "Even though I work for a local McDonalds I will not eat anything, or drink anything from a McDonalds ever. I do thank God that I am working towards a new job. I am enrolled at a local community college to learn how to build houses. I want to go on the record that I recognise that gays and lesbians have the same Constitutionally protected freedoms like every citizen of this great nation. I further wish to go on and say that they deserve no special rights and freedoms then anyone else. Have they forgotten that it's "Equal Protection Under One Law" ? Gays and lesbians want nothing more then forced acceptence on everyone with their lifestyle. . ." "I actually stopped going to McDonald's when I first heard about their support for the homosexual agenda. This just solidifies that decision. Not only is this a sinful choice for McDonald's, but clearly, I have to question the level(lack)of intelligence from a business standpoint. What a bunch of idiots. They'd rather "make a statement" than provide food. This country is going to be the recepient of God's wrath if God's children don't wake up and put a stop to the moral decline in this nation. I will never be "tolerant" of anything that God calls sin. And I also don't care if people don't like it. I'm not trying to please them. I aim only to please the One who cleansed me of my sin and saved my soul from hell....thank you, Jesus!" "I am sad to see you supporting Homosexuals as a business one should stay out of that agenda, I shall not be shopping at McDonalds any longer and will tell every one not to buy McDonalds...tell you change your policy...we shall boycot your business..." "How sad! You have come a long way, to bad you are now going the wrong way. As a tour bus driver I will no longer stop at McDonald's. I pray you wake up soon!!!" "I am shocked and appalled that McDonald management are not the least bit Christian oriented but would rather support those which God comdemns (I Cor. 6:9) By doing this you are also putting yourself in God's condemnation. I for one will no longer buy ANYTHING from McDonald's and I did so love your breakfasts. I hope you will have second thoughts about your sinful ways." "How sad that the "few" make choices for the "many"... McDonald's just made a choice for my family and I- we will no longer spend our money in a place that would so deeply wound the vast majority of MORAL AMERICANS. Our local McDonald's is a franchise owned by local people and though it saddens me to punish them for a "corporate" decision, we will do so until our voices are heard and the moral majority acknowledged. Enough is enough! It's time for our country to give itself back to God or be lost in just such perversion. Shame, shame, shame on McDonald's... a family place...r-i-g-h-t?!?" "Sadly, McDonald's is my grandson's most favorite place in the whole world. We will find a new place. I am passing this on to my email base of friends, and also, to my group of friends, who belong to our church of 10,000 people. These same very social and McDonald-loving people, would be interested to know McDonald's official stance on homosexuality. Homosexuality hurts, even though, at first, it appears not to. You can't escape God's laws. They were made out of love for all of us. Please bring back your family-oriented restaurant. I will choose to frequent other, less exciting, but wholesome restaurants. Sincerely, Lynn D. Kansas City, MO" "I havent eaten at McDonalds since I heard about there support for homosexuals. Ill just go to Chick-Fil-A instead. They have way better food. And its a christian based food chain." "My family & I visit McDonald's probably at least once a week, but we no longer will support them until they choose to remain neutral on this issue. There are plenty of other places to eat!" "Will find another restaurant to frequent with my family." "I remember when I was a child my father would'nt purchase at McD's and I could understand why. My father's no longer alive so,I'll continue the boycott,besides"Subway" is much healthier! I'll even go as far to make a picket sign and show the uninformed public just what is happening to Ronald's place." "It is not suprising that a company who promotes the belief in magic should also promote this abomination. Mc Donald's is not family friendly, they are worldly. Chick-Fil-A is more a family friendly chain of resturants. They play Christain music in the resturant where I live. May their plans be brought to naught regarding the promotion of these sinful practices. We are not merely another animal, but were made in the likeness of God. Have mercy Lord on these people!!!" "As for me and my family, WE WILL NOT spend any more money at a McDonald's as long as they continue to support the homosexual agenda." "I am so sorry that McDonald's is determined to support homosexuality. You have ruined your reputation. I live next door to a McDonald's and work across the street from another one. I have been giving you a lot of business, but no more." "McDonalds should stay out of the political arena! I will not be eating there until I hear a change has occured in their policy.They should not be actively supporting the NCLCC. McDonalds should be supporting traditional marriage and families. Remain neutral on this issue. Stick to hamburgers!" "I haven't been to McDonald's since they started this new "diversity campaign". It hasn't hurt me by not being their patron for the last 203 months. I guess it won't hurt me to continue to not be a patron." "Having been a consumer and vendor since the days when Ray Kroc had his original store in Des Plaines, Illinois, I truly believe he and Joan would find this support of the homosexual life-style disgusting, reprehensible, and unacceptable, as I do. I, having been a long term repeating customer, will no longer be a customer, nor contribute to Ronald McDonald House or related charities, until the corporate posture is reversed and publically retracts it's support for the demented Gay and Lesbian Life Style. McDonalds should, in my estimation, adhere to a neutral position in this matter. I will endeavor to influence as many people as possible to make them aware of this information. I strongly encourage McDonalds to adopt the neutral position and not polarize your customer base." "McDonald's the family restaurant what a laugh...tsk,tsk. How do parents explain this one to the little ones and what's more why should they have to. I am so disappointed and sickened by your supporting this gross agenda. Good-by daily Mickey D breakfast and coffee. What a shame it was great. Think we'll try Burger King or Wendy's or better yet the neighborhood rest. I'll be sure to pass this info on to our very large congregation and family. You've underestimated decency and those who support it. Listen up stockholders." "You are so very mistaken- if you believe that the majority of people in this country want to spend their money at a fast food restaurant, only to see that restaurant turn around and use that same money to promote the sin of homosexuality. As Christians, we love the people, but hate the sin. It is God's law against homosexuality that we are pointing to. And if God says it (in the Bible) we do believe it now and always. We are totally in favor of this boycott and will not visit any McDonald's until a change is made." "I am saddened to learn that an organization which was known for its committment to the family has decided to take this route. Until the McDonald Corp. decides to withdraw their support of the NGLCC, we as a family will no longer patronize your establishment." "it sickens me to know tha this issue is supported. When when other forms of sexual immorality be supported by you. I will pray for repentance and that God will bless you." "We used to eat at McDonald's at least once a week, not any more! No way am I taking my Christian children to a place that is proud to support homosexuality. I cannot believe that a company that is supposed to be catering to children would even consider doing something like this! What you choose to do with your own private funds is your own business, but to use corporate funds to support such a cause is beyound belief. My children used to love to eat at your establishments, but they will just another favorite. I am sure Burger King is thrilled with your decision." "What a shame another American Icon going down the drain. What good they have done with the Ronald McDonald houses; now there good example is tarnished. Where is America heading when you they support something like this. Marriage is between a man and a woman thats the natural way; Gods way. No more McDonalds for me until they change their decision on backing something so perversed. Good by Mcdonalds and Hello; to someother fast food that has more family values." "Tonight I saw a commercial for McDonalds. Two men "Fixing" a McDonalds breakfast. It makes me sick. I hope people all over America take a stand against the position McDonalds has taken. My family of 26 children and grandchildren will no longer patronize your establishment." "I truly find this despicable. Too bad McDonald's; bad new spreads faster than good news, and I hope you will reconsider your decision and choose children and families over the homosexual's perverted agenda. SHAME ON YOU!" "It's a sad commentary when our society has come to this--Anything goes and McDonald's supports it all. Well, McDonald's, I can and do refuse to support you. I won't be ordering anything more at your establishments." "Our family will not eat at a McDonalds until they remove their support for NGLCC." "You want diversity, so do I. I will now have breakfast to Wendy's." "We used to stop at McDonald's several times each week and we purchased a large amount because of two teenage boys. We will no longer visit until McDonals discontinues to promote gay marriage and the gay lifestyle. There are plenty of other choices out there, and I will be exercising it until you officially change your position. Even remaining publicly neutral would be better than to actively promote the homosexual lifestyle. Please reconsider your position." "I am disappointed that your committment is to the Gay and Lesbian community. Families such as ours will have to find another Restaurant committed to families such as ours, who is not gay or lesbian. I hope you will think about changing your mind and supporting families." "WE DON'T HAVE MANY CHOICES IN OUR SMALL TOWN, BUT UNTIL MCDONALDS COMMITS TO REMAIN NUETRAL ON THIS, WE HAVE ONE LESS CHOICE IN OUR SMALL TOWN. VERY SAD INDEED!" "My family and I have spent lots of money at McDonald's over the years, but I will be choosing another restaurant until McDonald's changes their policy on this issue." "We have had our last meal at McDonald's! 126 strong!" "Homosexual behavior is *objectively* disgusting. It is contrary to the Law of Nature. It is unhealthy--the life expectancy of those practicing that behavior is 20 years less than the rest of the population! It is a gravely evil act. It has NOTHING to do with "diversity." I've eaten a lot of "fast food," probably more than I should. From now on, McDonalds won't be on my list of places to go. This isn't much of a sacrifice, since "fast food" is practically a commodity these days. I'll go to Burger King, Wendy's, or Whataburger instead now." "How sad that you have capitulated to special interests and totally ignored an extremely large group of patrons. 4 Kids, 2 grand kids...$1000's of dollars spent...no more garbage in, garbage out" "When traveling I'm not going to boycott Mc's, I'm going in and use the restroom and then go across the street to B/King and get free Senior Coffee." "Bye Bye McDonalds and hello Wendy's!!!" "Shame on you, McDonald's!! What a disgrace on America's favorite hamburger place. I have a feeling you can kiss that title goodbye. We may not count for much, but you have certainly lost this family's business. Wendy's has a dollar menu too, you know. Get your priorities out of the gutter before it is too late." "Remaining neutral is not backing down, it is simply common sense. With well over 60% of the population against the 'main streaming' of the so called 'alternative' lifestyle, it makes the Mcdonalds decision clearly agenda driven. Therefore your shame is complete. Neither I, nor my family, nor my congregation will be visiting until you simply come back to neutral." "no more McDonalds will eat some other place that is decent. harold joedeman" "As a Mother of 12 children, I can guarantee that my family will not eat at a McDonald's again until this policy changes." "No longer will support your restaurant in any way and will be vocal about why." "When you stop supporting the homosexual lifestyle I will consider doing business with you again, but not until." "My family of five will no longer give McDonald's our business while the company remains committed to promoting homosexuality. It saddens me that a great American company would support a lifestyle that is unhealthy physically and emotionally. Most of the families that we know are going to boycott McDonald's as well." "I am almost 50 years old & since I was introduced to McDonald's when I was in college, I have love Big Mac's & McDonald's french fries. In the last few years I have come to enjoy those breakfasts. I'm sorry that I will no longer be able to enjoy those pleasures because of your choice to support the homosexual lifestyle." "No more McDonalds for my family until they change their decision." "My family, including children, will no longer be customers of McDonald's. It's a position of finances for your corporation, its a position of my family's Christ center relationship with us. Please reconsider your position." "I have many other places that are "family friendly" from which to choose. I will make sure that my children, grandchildren and others eat elsewhere." "It's ashame that McDonald's hates homosexuals by not wanting them to be born again by God's spirit in Jesus, as we all must be to see God's kingdom. How can I continue to give my money to this business?" "WOW!! Terrorism = Homosexuals = McDonalds What's next McDonalds? Beastiality?" ""I stop at McDonald's often when I am On the road. Since you choose to not remain neutral on this issue, which is a slam to traditional families, I choose to eat somewhere else for the time being. In case you are unaware of the fact, two men or two women can not procreate, therefore you are supporting a group of people that will have a very difficult time giving birth to your future customers.I will be sure to tell all of my family and friends and any one else who cares about this issue. It is my hope that you will reconsider your position."" "It is always disturbing when Satan's hold on this world is brought to light. I believe that by standing with the NGLCC, the McDonald's corp. has chosen to turn their back on God's word and for that there will be greater consequences than a decline in sales. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord", and as long as McDonalds serves Satan and his agenda, my family will not support McDonalds. We have frequented our local McDonalds between 1-4 times per week, but no longer. You can now find us at Chick-fil-a." "I love your Vanilla Iced Coffee and often purchase one on my way home from work, but I believe I will have to abstain from buying them again. I will not spend my money in support of your gay agenda. I will fine another way to get my iced coffee, even if McD's is the only fast food place on Kodiak. I pray God will influence you to change your minds." "I am more than willing to not eat at McDonald's, until they pull back and correct their decision." "I usually stop every day on the way home from work for an "afternoon snack" and then take my kids to Mickey D's on the weekend. Sometimes I even take home dinner for the whole family but not any more. Its not about anything but the fact that you are supporting a perverted lifestyle that is against me and my families morals." "McDonald's support of the homosexual lifestyle saddens and disappoints me. I will no longer frequent your restaurants until you decide to withdraw your support of this behavior and remain neutral on the issue if you cannot denounce it as harmful to society. I hope you will reconsider this decision." "I guess that you think just like Ford Motors that decent will just roll over and play dead on these issues. Obviously there are homosexuals in the corperate head quarters pushing this agenda, well maybe McDonalds can live off of their kind. Don't expect me to be one of your customers. Ray Kroc would be furious of you misusing his statements to support your sick agenda. If you choose to then I choose not to." ""100 billion -1 served"" "My Family of 26 will no longer eat at McDonalds" "I don't eat at McDonalds anyway, but my kids DID. No more!!! Bye, Bye. Neither will their friends." "I grew up on McD's as well, and as soon as this story first broke, I have chosen not to even enter your establishment. It is an abomination in the eyes of God and you should be ashamed. I have very large families and they have been informed of your decision to support homosexuality. We will not be supporting you, because you have turned from Christian oriented family values. God will show you that you are wrong because enough of us families will boycott you until you do. Our nation was founded under God, and you are not living up to that standard. I pray that Christ deals with you and you choose to do what is right and kick the support of gay rights out the door. It is not your place to stand up for their sin...but what else can we expect since one of your own is on the board of directors." "Ok with me. Sonic has a much better breakfast menu anyway!" "Your position and support of the gay and lesbian community is quite interesting, considering the fact that there are more of us who observe and defend the "normal" and traditional definition of marriage and family than there are of "them". Will be interesting to see what financial gain you have when all you have left is "them" as customers. Including our family, friends and my teaching associates and parents, I count upwards of 434 people who will no longer support your corporation. Now magnify that number by the family, friends and work associates of the 434 people we are going to contact. You have seen the last of us at any of your establishments." "I will not be going or taking my granddaughter to McDonald's until they quit supporting homosexuals. It is immoral and an abomination to God. Marriage is a sacred union of man and woman and should be kept that way." "I have been spending thousands of dollars a year at McDonald's but will now be spending my money at the Hardee's next door to my favorite Mickey D's until there is a firm retraction of this position on the part of your corporate leadership!" "WE just went thru the drive thru today and had a great iced coffee. I'm sad to say it will be my last, as I will find a new place to buy it from. Too bad you could not just stick to fixing food and chose to get mixed up in the NGLCC. Ronald will soon find out how many people stand for Family values. With our economy right now I wonder how long they can lose money as this will no doubt hit them hard. I am done with Mc'ds:( BYE BYE." "Since you have chosen to give financial support to NGLCC, perhaps you can rely on the gay and lesbian community to patronize your restaurants, and prevent the staggering decline in sales when traditional families find "alternative" dining facilities!" "I eat at McDoald's 5 days per week. I will not longer do this. I really enjoy your establishment and wish you had chosen to remain neutral. Please rethink your decision. Respectfully..." "I have entered my last Mcdonalds upon reading about your support to NGLCC.You have lost a 40 year cusomer. I do not understand your support position of not staying neural." "Our family will now be by-passing MacDonald's as well. So sad, but decency and right matter more. Please reconsider your decision. All choices have consequences." "This is another sad day for American families. When your profits start going down, please don't be naive enough to wonder why. McDonald's is history at our house as long as you encourage the gay lifestyle!" "I'm really sorry that McDonald's has chosen this route. I'm joining the rest of you in withdrawing my support and my dollars. I've got to take a stand for my grandchildren and the world in which they will be reared." "I almost stopped at McDonald's today. I'll avoid the place for sure now until you change your stance." "We have a membership of 3,000 plus at our church. I will be actively conveying this boycott to every member as well to the district offices." "This is very shocking to hear. I was raised on McDonalds but, no more for my family. McDonalds your a big disappointment and I will pray that your company will straighten up and do the right thing!! He's watching you & waiting to see!!" "You pretend to be about families and children. What kind of message are you sending them??? I will NOT eat at McDonalds until they reverse their decision to support such an unAmerican institute." "No longer will my family and I support McDonald's. You are an abomination unto the Lord. Enjoy the good time while it lasts and I hope it will be worth all you stand to lose. I'm going to tell everyone I know and I have a really big mouth!" "This is truly a sad day. McDonalds has long been a part of my childhood. However, due to your support of Gay and lesbian issues, you will no longer be a part of my small children's lives. Please support true family values." "I will be sure to spread the news to all the kids in my high school and so on. I will not stand for this sort of biased in a corporation. They should remain neutral on all aspects!" "No more eating at your place.Going to tell all my family plus my friends.Great choice? Hope you lose many $$$$$." "I am greatly disappointed. Just when my family was returning to McDonalds for some of the newer menu items and coffee choices, I see this in the news! Thanks a lot McDonald's for going political and waaaay over to the left. I will actively promote boycotting McDonalds to my dozens of family members. What a disappointment." "For the past several years we have enjoyed taking our children to McDonalds to eat and play on the playland, but we will not support a restaurant who promotes this kind of agenda. We pride ourselves in supporting family friendly businesses that we feel set a good example for our children. This certainly does not." "Homosexual "marriage" is a slap in the face to true family values. Choose today whom you will serve..." "We have been steady customers of McDonalds ever since they came to town, but you have made the decision that your desire is to the homosexual, and you no longer desire families. We willlook elswhere in the mornings and for lunch and dinner also. You can still change your mind. Hope you do but until you do... bye-bye --Kansas" "If you can't stay neutral you lost me and my family's business.Maybe the stockholders will wake up and change your mind." "My family stops at McDonalds at least twice/week but we will stop today. Why does a corporation decide to support a group because of their sexual desires? By corporately backing these groups you are corporately alienating those of us who are offended by this behavior." "What a sad thing! We've been McDonals fans for years as we have enjoyed their support off traditional families.....at least we thought so. We've surely been betrayed....and we believe that the founders of McDonalds have definitely been. Talk about turning over in their graves. We will no longer enter a McDonalds until they have reversed this stand. When we count those that are going with us in this action, i.e. directly associated with us, there will be at least 50 "former McDonalds fans" that are no more!!! Sad" "I WILL NEVER GO TO YOUR STORE AGAIN UNLESS YOU CHANGE.. I WILL NOT LET ANY OF MY CHILDREN GO THEIR..... YOU NEED TO CHANGE.." "I think you should stick to happy meals. Our entire family will boycott until you get back to business and not support the gay agenda." "My entire family with all grandkids have decided to stop eating at McDonalds.Its time companys like your close up and go home." "As you as a corporation have made a choice to support the homosexual agenda. I too have made a choice, never again to frequent your establishments." "I have enjoyed McDonald's since hambergers were 10 cents. I feel sorry for the loss of trade for your franchise holders. You can support who you want to support just as I can stop supporting you which I have done." "I wish that McDonalds had chosen to remain neutral. There is 47 people in my family." "I will not patronize the Mcdonalds restaurants again until they change. ThANK YO." "As Christians we are appalled at the stand McDonald's has taken on support of the gay movement. I plan on eating elsewhere unless there's a change in their committment. Praying for a decision for change." "You are allowing your own political/social agendas to cloud your bussines sense. Dont antagonize your customer base! Maintain a position of neutrality in this issue and stay focused on food qulity and service. I'm refraining from purchasing your products until you do." "I have been a regular customer of McDonalds for over 35 years, often going two or three times a week. I am very disappointed that McDonald's would use their name to promote and support the gay agenda. Therefore until they cease to be a part of the promotion of homosexuality I will no longer patronize the McDonald's establishments and I will also encourage my family and friends to take their business elsewhere." "You are not family oriented any more..you have overstepped into something that is not a concern of a corporation such an McDonalds. The success of your restaurant only came about from the support of families such as mine and millions of other families. You may be a "super star" now but your popularity will take a sharp and sudden downturn if you continue this support.There are other good restaurants that will profit from your misguided ways." "It is a sad, sad day in American history when a restaurant chain such as McDonald's feels that they need to support the lifestyle of perverts. This chain will no longer have the support of myself, or my family. Hopefully you will "change" your opinion when you suffer the same losses Ford suffered." "My family of three, promise, we will never visit Mcdonalds in the future." "Wow! What a shame. McDonald's has been considered a family favorite for so many for so long. I can't in good conscience support a business that actively supports the gay agenda, so good-bye McDonald's! We'll miss you, but not enough to sell out our principles." "My family and I will definitely reconsider our daily/weekly patronage of our local McDonald's. That includes at least 7 people. I will also spread the word to others so they may make their own choices as you as a corporation have done. Their are consequences -- good and bad to every decision each of us makes whether they occur now or sometime in the future. The reality is I have no desire to see 2 males or females publicly showing any kind of sexual affection nor do I want my kids to have to endure such things. And that's where the "gay community" is headed. The fact is if nature intended this to be a "normal" behavior then our species would never survive--no reproduction. There are many "diverse" lifestyles we can all choose to belong to--addictive ones of all sorts, polygamy, violent ones(hey, if it feels good, it must be ok), etc. but just because we can doesn't mean we should. . ." "I don't want to have to explain to my grandchildren why we can't go to McDonalds anymore, but I will if I have to . They are raised knowing right from wrong and they know as well as you and I that homosexuality is a sin .The bible clearly states man will not lie with man and woman will not lie with woman." "Since I was a child McDonalds has been the obvious family burger institution. didn't you ever consider the consequences of such a undertaking. I nor my family will support your stores any longer.Please reconsider!!!" "They (the homosexual community) have told their lie until they have duped organizations like yours to believe they should support them. This lifestyle leads to death and disease, not to mention suffering and spreading the disease. Please understand, humans are created in the image of God! He will protect His Name! No more of my money in your cash register. H. Peters" "Shame on you McDonald's. And you claim to be a family restaurant. Try to get your act back together." "They are not the only fast food joint on the road, We didn't do any thing about prayer in schools back then , it is an all together differant day. Our christain way of life is standing in the forfront now.We can make a differance , stand up for the morals of the family unit. The internet is the greatest thing since slice bread.. send this out across the internet, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERANCE.." "My wife & I, our children & grand children have eaten at McDonalds for years. A family Restaurant"? Not any more. You should be ashamed. We have eaten our last time at McDonalds, until you change your policy. I am informing others also." "My Family, extended family and close friends will not do bussiness with Mcdonalds as long as they continue to support the homosexual agenda." ""Corporations" are not voting entities. Their job is to provide a good product or service and NOT to engage in social engineering. Society and its changes will be handled by voting American citizens, thank you. In the meantime, my family will join this boycott. Ford was wrong and so are you. We do not want corporate deep pockets to oppose the will of the people. Use your own personal funds as you wish--not corporate funds against us who provide you the money for profit margin. Your stockholders should remove the entire Board of Directors immediately." "Our family will no longer eat at McDonald's until you have agreed to no longer support the gay and lesbian lifestyle and political effort to undermine the morals of the US. I will be passing this info on to all friends and family members. I am sorry that a business that has always catered to and been supported by families has made the decision to go this direction. God help you." "My family and I generally eat at McDonald's a few times a month. Not anymore. McDonald's is not getting another cent until they drop their support for the agenda of a tiny minority that has been a primary culprit in the precipitous decline of American culture and values." "You claim that "Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are." Yet you support organizations whose primary purpose is to undermine the social fabric of the United States by destroying marraige and family." "This is very disturbing and I plan to boycott McDonalds until action is taken to stop supporting a lifestyle that is immoral and clearly spoken about in the Bible. I will get to know the other fast food restaurants in town!" "We will never eat anything at MacDonald's again until we hear that you have withdrawn your support of these immoral lifestyles that are bringing down God's judgment on our wonderful country and destruction to the lives of those who choose to practice them. We will tell everyone we know what you are doing, and believe us, they will quit you, too." "I thought McDonald's always promoting family. Until you go back to that, my family will just have to stop eating at your establishment!" "That used to be my favorite hangout. Not anymore." "It's pretty sad that a good family place such as McDonalds chooses to go along wqith the NGLCC. I will not be eating at your restuarants nor will my family. I certainly will let everyone I know and come in contact with about your decision." "I have always supported McDonalds and have enjoyed thier food. No longer, I and my family will not support your establishment. You have decided to cross the line, therefore, we must take action and not support your restaurants. Please reconsider your actions." "Why are you catering to the approximately 3% of the population that is homosexual. You have greatly offended the other approximately 97% of the population. Goodby McDonald's, Hello Hardies, or Wendy's, or Burger Kind, or a mom and pop restauraint. We were just at a McDonald's this morning as we started on our trip home. We always did that, and stopped along the way for coffee and a snack. Not any more... As a matter of fact we were commenting to each other that the breakfast sandwiches were getting so expensive that we might as well stop in a real restaurant for a sit down breakfast. Not until McDonald's announces that they are taking a neutral stand on homosexuals and withdrawing any monetary support will we again be a customer. You just got the company back on track and now you appear bent on derailing it. Ford Suffered through a boycott that greatly hurt their business and finally withdrew their support of the homosexual agenda." "Our relationship with McDonalds started in the l960's. It was our Friday nite supper (in the car) with our 2 small children. Hiding under "diversity" is easier than standing for what is right for our country, our families is easier than taking a stand. As the old song goes, "you've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything". Shame on McDonalds, your hamburgers keep getting better after 48 years, but I won't be there anymore." "McDonald's should not be tarnishing their pro-family image by associating with a group that seeks to destroy the traditional family." "I don't go to a fast food restaurant to financially support a Political Action Committee. McDonald's isn't my kind of place." "As a grandparent of 20 nd great-grandparent of 9 I think you know that your have served our large family many orders of your sandwiches, fries, shakes, iced tea and coffee not to mention the "kids meals". Our oldest grandchild is 29 yrs. old and has ALWAYS eaten at McDonalds as have all the rest. I want you to know that "grandma" is going to request a favor of the children, BOYCOTT MCDONALDS! When I explain why I am making the request I know they will be happy to comply. McDonalds has made their choice to support the gay agenda and keep their membersh ip in the NGLCC and have refused to to take a neutral stand on the sexual lifestyle of anyone. What does that have to do with Hamburgers???? Oh, I get it. Homosexuals will always eat at McDonalds and you don't need any of us who disagree with your position. Hey, if thats the way you want it, good-bye Big Macs. There is always Wendy's, Burger King, DQ, and so many others. . ." "Why in the world would McDonalds a place that has catered to children for years choose to get involved in such perversity.My childre and grandchildren will no longer support your diversity." "How can your establishment support deviant sexual behavior and still claim to be family-oriented? I will encourage my children, grandchildren and students to avoid McDonald's." "No longer will I take my grandkids to McDonalds, nor go myself!!" "I shall no longer purchase any items from McDonald's because of their open support of the gay & lesbian community. I strongly feel McDonald's should remain neutral in this matter. Honestly I don't understand any reason for a restaurant to have any reason to take any stand at all. If you think that this is a joke and that the people 's voice will NOT hurt your bottom line, then just wait and see. You already have problems "brewing" and this will surely help set the nails in your coffins." "We are very disappoiinted with McDonalds. We will definitely take our business eslewhere until you change your position." "I am very surprised that a company that has it's primary focus on children would choose to get involved and support a lifestyle that can't even produce children. If all your customers were homosexual couples it wouldn't take long till you would be out of business. You think you can support this wrong lifestyle and keep your costomers who have been loyal to you for many years some growing up with you and then brining their kids to you and now maybe even their grandkids. Now for who knows what reason you choose to alienate them. This does not sound like smart business to me. As for me and my family we will not eat or drink in any of your business's until you back off this repulsive choice. It's to bad becuase my wife and I were just going to take trip and we really enjoy your Egg Mc Muffins. But I know I can live without them, I wonder how many customers you can live without. Steve Ratzlaff Hammett Idaho" "McDonald's should be aware that this is a controversial topic and would be wise to adopt a policy to support and contribute to organizations which will not offend or alienate their customers. McDonald's is a business and should be careful to keep their personal viewa and beliefs seperate from their business, so that their business does not suffer as a result. I am usually a big fan of McDonald's and am surprised and disappointed by this action and hope that their management will take note and put more thought into which groups and organizations that they are linked to or support." "It is sad that anything goes now in this world. That we are so afraid of standing up for what it morally wrong. Children have the right to be raised by both a father and a mother who our naturally created for one another to complete a family circle. A child needs each to teach them specific principles for living a healthy, loving, and successful life. There is right and wrong in this world and it is sad when people don't act like there is. My family will not be eating at McDonalds again. I am quite taken aback that such a family-oriented establishment would turn against the very true nature of families." "Have you thought to take a look at the harmful effects of homosexuality on families and cultures? I'm shocked that you have chosen to be a part of demeaning our culture, not to mention the financial impact this is going to have on your business. Along with my family, I will not be doing any business with McDonald's. I will be hoping that those in decision-making positions will change their minds and instead support people who want to build up the family and keep them healthy. In the meantime, I will encourage everyone I know to keep away from McDonald's." "My family consisting of 3 children and 10 grandchildren are done at McDonalds until a change is made. Sorry, Wendy's and Burger King will benefit now from our stops for fast food." "I spend approx. $10 a week at mcdonalds, and as of today I will not spend any money at McDonalds, I do not wish any harm to go to gays and homo's, but I do not want it thrown in my face, you cannot watch tv, almost every program has some kind of homo theme. that is not the normal, normal is considered to be what most people do, what people do behind their own doors is their own choice. so if this is the way McDonalds wants to be, I will not give them business. I like Wendy's better anyway.." "No more McDonalds for me, my husband and my 6 kids!" "I have eaten at McDonalds since the first resturant opened in the Chicago area. I've always loved their food and thought it was a family oriented fast food resturant. Now I see differently. Taking a stand for the homosexual agenda shows a total disregard to families everywhere. An agenda which dosen't promote regular family values is not a place I will be bring my business to. There are so many other choices out there and no matter what McDonalds does in the future they have lost me for life. I'll miss their fries but my lfetime boycott begins at the end of this sentence. Ken Boss" "It is a sad day when the majority of Americans need to find another place to eat, because a Corporate culture has welcomed in a life style that God has turned his back on. McDonald's does such good community work with the Ronald McDonald Houses, now is seems that Ronald must have taken a vacation to Broke Back Mountain. What a loss for McDonald Corp and a loss to millions of real familys that will go somewhere else now. I love your coffee, but that has ended as long as your Corporation hugs up to the Gay lifestyle." "It's amazing how you can turn your back on decent people and children because you choose to support a perverted lifestyle. This confirms where the moral fiber of this country is headed. A country that gives in to everything indecent and morally corrupt will soon crumble. I will inform my friend of your decision, and I will absolutely avoid all McDonald's restaurants." "I have eaten at McDonalds since the first resturant opened in the Chicago area. I've always loved their food and thought it was a family oriented fast food resturant. Now I see differently. Taking a stand for the homosexual agenda shows a total disregard to families everywhere. An agenda which dosen't promote regular family values is not a place I will be bring my business to. There are so many other choices out there and no matter what McDonalds does in the future they have lost me for life. I'll miss their fries but my lfetime boycott begins at the end of this sentence. Ken Boss" "Just like the boycott says...This is not about who you hire or who eats there or how your employees are treated. It IS about where you are putting the money you get and what causes you are supporting. Goodbye McDonalds. :o(" "It really disappoints me that McDonalds would put it's name behind a lifestyle that goes against God's word. Homosexuals need to be helped. This lifestyle is a sin. You backing the homosexual community is not helping things. It's only making matters worse. I will not be purchasing anything from you again until your stance is changed." "I have just e-mailed over fifty close friends and associates strongly urging them to boycott McDonalds. I will no longer spend the money God has blessed me with to support this abomination. GOD is the one who feeds?" "The 1% of the homosexual community will not be able to make up for the lose you will have from the rest of us eating elsewhere. Think about that. McDonald's will have to close shops just like Kmart did because families will take a stand. My grandchildren are 10 and 6. When I told them why we are not going to McDonald's anymore they understand. They know that God will watch and judge them one day for their choices and actions. They do not want anymore happy meals because of this. We will eat at other stops when we eat out." "Until McDonald's changes its position on the gay-lesbian issue, I will not be able to patronize any McDonald's. I also intend to inform my children of this issue which includes 2 families with a total of 5 children. I am so disappointed in McDonald's. I thought this was a family friendly company that upheld family values and not deviant sexual behavior even if it's not "politically correct" but because it is the right thing to do!" "We're only a family of 6, but we'll be looking elsewhere for vacation meals this summer...and until we hear that McDonald's won't use our money to undermine our family and the faith we value." "Your job I thought was to supply food and drink to the community not support immorality. I love the fish sandwiched but I will not be enjoying them any longer. I'll see if Wendy's or Burger King has what I like to eat without immoral support." "My husband, myself and our six children will no longer support McDonald's until you stop supporting this culture of death. We will be telling all our friends and families to do the same." "You are wrong to support the gay agenda over traditional family--even nature shows this lifestyle to be wrong. If you keep supporting the gay movement, we will keep giving our business to someone else.You can make fun of Sodom and Gomorrah now, but one day you will face final judgment--whether you believe that or not does not change the truth. One sin is no worse than another-choosing not to turn from your sin is another matter. I urge you to return to Christian values and withdraw you support. All you have to do is to remain neutral." "My family and I are done with McDonalds untill this changes. I also am contacting friends and letting them know what you choose to stand for." "My family and I along with a large number of extended family will cease to use mcdonalds from this day forth. By aligning yourselves with the homosexual agenda you have failed to look at how this will affect the youth of America. Enough said you cease to exist in our eyes may God forgive you." "Despite enjoying the taste of your delicious food I am going to boycott McDonal's until you stop promoting the born gay hoax that influence your public policy decisions." "I'm confused...who made McDonalds the financial success it is today?? The heterosexual family (one man, one woman and lots and lots of kids?) or the homosexual couple, (2 men or 2 women, with no ability to produce children themselves)? I say if they think that they can financially survive on 2% of the population as their core patrons, let them give it a try! I'm not easily offended, but this is a complete offense to those of us who have been long standing patrons. We are basically being told that they don't care about our core beliefs and that they (McDonalds) can survive without us. I say let them go ahead and try. No skin off my nose if the largest company causing obesity in America has to close down!! Sadly, most of the McDonalds franchise owners out there are probably just as outraged as the general public, with no way to distance themselves from this controversial association. Too bad McDonalds just doesn't really care!! Holly Musgrave, Mesa, AZ" "My wife and I had our first McDonald in Rapid City, S.D. in July of 1957. We have had many since that date. But the one we just had will be our last until you change your policy with regard to your support of non-family oriented support. E & E Narr. No more Macs for us." "Coffee in the morning, lunch I'm embarassed to say almost everyday. Haven't really participated significantly in any other boycotts. I will not be eating there until I hear about their appropriate response." "What sort of lifestyle McDonald's corporate management leads is their own business. Why ruin your business and the good name of McDonald's by your association with the homosexual agenda?" "McDonald's. You have forgotten that it has been FAMILIES that have brought you success, and that you have now forced FAMILIES to boycott you. What a shame..What's next? Gay pride posters in your windows?? I hope you change your position on this soon!" "It is very sad to have a company suffer because it's leadership is making bad decisions. I will not choose McDonald's as my restaurant until they get another CEO!!!!" "What does being a member of the NGLCC have to do with being a socially responsible organization? I would think it the opposite. There are MUCH BETTER ways to make a difference in the world. Making a difference and making a GOOD difference are two different things. We will not be eating at your establishments until you quit supporting the NGLCC." "Basically you are putting money in your competitors' hands! Bye Bye McDonalds" "As for me and my family, we'll support Burger King. None of our money will support homosexual causes." "I am saddened by McDonald's choice to go beyond its original and fantastic support of children to the blatant support or deviate sexual behavior rather than remaining neutral. I will miss the fries!" "As a business woman, I'm appalled that companies like McDonald's have suddenly begun to tell the rest of us what is right and wrong morally. As someone else said, you are a business that caters to families and you are supporting people who are trying to tear down family values. What galls me most is that you are a business and your business is to provide a product not tell the rest of us what is right and wrong. We can decide that for ourselves. I will no longer eat at McDonald's as long as they support the gay/lesbian agenda shoving their lifestyle down our throats. I will eat at Burger King or Carl's Jr. or Wendy's and spend a little more for coffee at Starbuck's where they don't tell me how to live." "I too have grown up eating at McDonald's. They have been consistent in food and service, however, they're choosing to cave into pressure from such a small group of people (gay activists) is very cowardly. In addition, my conscience will not let me or my family eat at restaurant that is ANTI-FAMILY. God will hold you responsible, McDonald's." "Why would a well managed company who has had to work very aggressively to build market momentum to turn its image from a junk food place to a good healthy choice dinning experience jepordize all the work and success of changing its image to endorse a perverse cultural group which has such a minimal population and dollar revenue potential as compared to the greater market? Why did you get led into that trap? For yeas you tried to build a family place image why throw that away and support a minority position of a very dubios agenda? You are smarter than that to put yourself in a social cultural war that attacks and challenges family values at its core. If this is an example of your critical management thinking it is time to sell my stock. Why would you even get into this mess? The moral arguments are more serious but basic business says this is stupid. How do your Frachises feel about this issue? Do they support such a cultural battle of social position or do they just want to provide good food and good s" "I needed to diet and now there's a good, strong reason to avoid the "Big Macs" and hamburgers which I used to love. However, the taste of your management stance on this one makes me sick and no longer thinking I can't drive past a McDonald's when I have that craving, etc. Now, my car will steer more frequently to other places, especially Culver's, etc. unless I hear they also have taken this ridiculous position. My son is in his early 30's and a couple of his first words were "don don's" as we would be going by the Golden arches, and many times we would just laugh and pull in. We had so much fun there when he was younger but as a young man, he also supports that this position the McDonald's corporation is wrong. It is sad for us to see. We do hope that you'll listen to public opinion and remove the corporation as a public sponsor. It will be so easy for us to drive by those golden arches now because your management has chosen to drive people away." "Sure glad we have Burger Queen and Hardees!! See you at church..Gloria Bardwell,Ky." ""I will be boycotting McDonald's and so will my family. There are 200 members in our family that are Christian and I will make sure to tell them about McDonald's. You have our support from Grand Prairie, Texas" "Gay rights? Gives a whole new meaning to "Happy Meal" doesn't it? Now not only is McDonalds food bad for your health but it is bad for your morals too!!!! We won't eat there again unless they change their policy." "We travel a lot and have made McDonald's our frequent eating stop. That will change however since learning that Mac continues to endorse and promote the gay lifestyle." "please stop supportting the homemosextual behavior and be accountable to your million friends who are supporting the heterlsexual behavior. Thank you for consideration hunran adachi from california, torrance" "McDonald's has always been a good place to eat. But I will not be purchasing anything else from your chain due to your support of the homosexual lifestyle. You have taken a family favorite hangout and made it an unsafe place for families. Shame on you!" "The gay lifestyle is wrong -- God CLEARLY states this in the Bible. For such a huge organization, primarily focused on kids, to support something which is totally wrong IS wrong. Until McDonald's steps away from supporting something which is so wrong, my husband and I will not spend one penny at any McDonalds. That's just fine by me, because I never really liked McDonalds food anyway." "Why not support organizations that build up families, rather than undermine them? There are so many other positive ways to support diversity, but this surely is not one of them. So disappointing. Our young family will be fast-fooding elsewhere." "My Wife and I and our eight children and 23 grand children will no longer patronize your business. Be assured that I will urge many who believe in the sanctity of marriage and the family and who see the homosexual lifestyle as unnatural and threatening, to do likewise. Your decision is not only misguided and immoral, it defies common sense. John F. McGrath 20225 Ronsdale Beverly Hills, MI 48025" "What is it with these large corporations suddenly deciding to back the gay agenda? Their business is to make food fast, not to cram homosexuality down our throats. Wise up, McDonald's, this whole thing makes no sense." "Take a lesson from Ford, McDonald's. Homosexuals and homosexual "rights" activists aren't enough to get you through business. Ford had to learn that the hard way. Unless you decide to remain neutral, feel the stinging pinch of the collective roar that is the MAJORITY OF AMERICA!" "I have a lot of trouble seeing McD's as "family friendly" anymore since you support such a deviant lifestyle...sad. I will not even use the giftcards given me until you change your policy." "To the Executive Board of McDonalds: I believe you have sorely underestimated the power and commitment of those American people who hold dear the Biblical values of the family as created and blessed by God. Your decision to openly support and promote the homosexual lifestyle under the guise of "political correctness" and "diversity" is a big mistake. It is also slap in the face of millions of your loyal customers who cherish and believe strongly in traditional family values and will fight aggressively to preserve them. You have created your own economic firestorm that can only lead to the eventual downfall of the Golden Arches if you continue to pursue this course. I am dismayed and, quite frankly, shocked that you have so easily and arrogantly turned against your broad base of long time, loyal . . ." "How can you sleep at night knowing that you support gay rights organizations like NAMBLA (that's North American Man-Boy Love Association) when your business depends heavily on the partonage of children. How can you sleep at night. Have you ever witnessed a gay rights parade with all the disgusting gay and lesbian conduct?? Shame, Shame, Shame!!! No more McDonalds for us, our children and grandchildren." "Have always appreciated McDonald's but won't eat there again until they choose a neutral, God-fearing stance on sin. And I'll tell all my friends- we have lots of good other choices that don't undermine our country- A & W, Tim Horton's, Wendy's, Swiss Chalet.. the list goes on." "McDonalds was founded on serving families; especially families with children. I hope the NGLCC will be able to support all the McD chain because you won't get another penny from this families pocket! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME On McDonalds. Without families where does McD see their future by leading the NGLCC movement? I'm eager to see your new Mascot...because Ronald represents kids and even he wouldn't approve of this lastest antic. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME! You Choose your Friends, now the families will chose theirs." "I was heartsick to realize McDonald's is supporting homosexuality. I took my children there during their growing-up years, but I cannot ever support them again with this stand. You are going against everything you used to stand for. What a shame." "I have been eating at McDonald's for many, many years. My Family and I have chosen not to support McDonald's due to your stand on Homosexuality. We have a very, very large extended family with many friends and relatives who have many friends and relatives and each will be sent an e-mail in relation to the stand McDonald's has taken. Sorry!!! Not my fault. I have a stand to take too!" "Staying neutral would be acceptable, but now by supporting an intentionally Godless homosexual lifestye, you have now become part of the devil's agenda" "My family and I stopped eating at McDonalds before we learned of your support for NGLCC so we are CONTINUALLY growing healthier in body, mind and spirit! Bad mistake in not supporting the family as God intended it to be, McDonalds! I pray your employees are made aware of the your company's lack of moral character and will decide not to be affiliated with your organization any longer, because as you can see, your customer based is quickly diminishing. Very soon your "Golden Arches" sign will read "USED TO SERVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS!" Your leaders have made a very poor business and spiriutal decision. Too Bad for you!" "i am very disappointed that mcdonald's has chosen to support gays & lesbians. it's a sad day when the love of money is more important than family values. no more mcdonald's for us!" "My husband and I voice our support of the boycott on McDonald's for the rest of our lives because of their support of the gay and lesbian movement. We have supported McDonald's ever since they opened and have enjoyed taking our children and grandchildren there. We are very disappointed in McDonald's corporate action. We are telling all of our extended family which totals over 50 people. McDonalds won't be getting any more of our money. We have stopped supporting other companies for similar actions. McDonald's may think they are an invinsible giant, but Goliath was brought down with one rock. When the public stands together we can be a bigger force than McDonald's and bring them down, too. They better re-evaluate before it is too late." "I, too, am informing all my children and friends to boycott McDonald's. I don't think McDonald's has any business actively supporting gay folks. Why must you align yourselves with them just in the interest of diversity? To preserve our society's survival, we must promote families consisting of male and feamle. This sends the right message to our children. They have no business knowing about a gay agenda. The more we promote it, the more we expose ourselves to crap." "McDonalds should be ashamed of what they are doing. After all the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination to God. I used to think you were for the good of children and families, but not anymore." "To Jim Skinner, Richard Ellis, Pat Harris and all other decision-makers for the McDonald’s Corporation: I too join those who are now boycotting McDonald's Restaurants. A total of 12 others in my immediate family have also chosen to join this endeavor. I have been blessed with a career and a position that provides me contact and access to many. As your corporation has chosen to use its “size and resources to make a difference”, so too shall I utilize my influence and resources to inform and encourage others to join in the boycott. I urge you to reconsider the support of the NGLCC and its agenda." "I have been boycotting McDonalds for a few weeks now. The first time I got a whole busload of basketball players to go to Dairy Queen. The 2nd time we traveled was with the basketball league and we ate at Hardees. The last 2 times we went back to Dairy Queen. I have been to DQ more in the last month than I have in the last 5 years but you know what? It's easy and it's even harder to get your patrons back. They will leave little by little as the word gets out and it is a tough time getting people to change their habits, once they have picked a different place. McDonalds...whoever you have in charge right now, has no idea what they are doing to your corporation." "Big Mistake! Amazing someone in your position would be foolish enough to choose to back the cause of an adult minority with a family restaurant. Although I wholeheartedly agree with the moral issues, I simply cannot understand the business decision. Perhaps you thrive on thinking of the notoriety you will attain being the sole destruction of the McDonald's corporation?" "My family and I have spent on average $100 per month over the last ten years. I can proudly say that over the last three monthes since I heard of this boycot I have spent zero dollars at MacDonals. This will continue as long as they continue their promotion of the gay agenda." "As a teacher and youth worker, I have seen the confusion and insecurity that is bombarding children these days, and the promotion of anti-family and anti-parent values is one of the key problems they confront. I'm sorry that your restaurant has chosen to concentrate on politically charged and unproven social agendas rather than on providing the healthy and tasty snacks which should be your focus. I will not be bringing any of my students or clients to your restaurants in the future unless I hear your policy has been revised." "I am sick and tired of people and organizations trying to force the homosexual agenda down our throats.Do we not have enough comercials and sit-comes and movies forceing us to accept the homosexual? How much worse can it get? From Robert Moore, Memphis" "Promoting destructive behavior is a horrible thing to do, whether it is homosexuality, self-mutilation, or drug abuse! McDonald's will not be seeing my family any time soon." "McDonald's you have chosen a path that will lead you to destruction. A house divided against itself will not stand. You may promote that you are family oriented, but you have chosen to demote what family really is all about. I will be telling all my friends that chose to eat at your restaurants to stop going and chose other venues for better family food." "well, I guess it is time to start eating at Burger Kings, Wendy's, Hardees, Long John Silvers and KFC. I absolutely refuse for one more penny of mine to be spend at McDonalds! As an Evangilist, I will certainly let everyone that I come in contact with, that your company supports homosexuality. A previous McDonalds customer." "Although I do enjoy McDonalds sweet tea and love the price, I would rather go to sonic and pay two dollars for a sweet tea. I do not hate homosexuals, but I do hate homosexuality. I have five children and one grandchild who will no longer be eating anything from McDonalds until they change their position. I also have a fairly large extended family(around 30 just in my hometown) who will assuredly feel the same. I have a church family also and friends who will share this information with their church families. While all who attend may not boycott, many will. I do believe that we as the majority of people against homosexuality can cost the McDonalds corporation enough business to cause them to change their position. I believe that I would answer to God if my money that He allowed me to earn helped to support something that He condemns. Please, take these request from former customers very serious. We do." "This is awful! You are making a HUGE mistake. This does NOT constitute FAMILY-friendly! Will be ending my trips to McDonalds with my 6 grandchildren...Chic-Fil-A is our new first choice!" "I am 49 years old and have been a loyal customer of McDonalds since my teen years. I have eaten my last meal at McDonalds until McDonalds changes its position. McDonalds has the right to speak up and we the people have the right not to spend our hard earned money there. If McDonalds was a sponser for the Gay Pride Parade, which is simply full of sexual deviation, I am sure they are cheerleaders for the "Sisters of Perpetual Motion" that did their best to make a mockery, by dressing in drag and attending service at a Catholic church. This is a disgrace. I am all for "diversity", however, I believe that marriage should remain between a man and a woman and it is my choice, as well as the choice of millions of Americans, not to eat at McDonalds. Speak up, sit back and watch your sales plummit....." "My family and I are disgusted at the decisions McDonald's has made regarding the support of homosexuality. It's unfortunate because my children love your Mcnuggets but will no longer eat them because we will boycott McDonald's from now on." "I am sorry to hear that you are supporting the Homosexual movement. What a disgrace for our children and country. I will encourage my friends and neighbors not to eat at McDonalds. I also have the opportunity to work with children and families and I will let them know to boycott McDonals. This is unbelievable and I can't believe a place children love have stooped to ugly politics. I love the sinner but not the sin and this is a lifestyle not appropriate for our children. My prayers that God will change your heart to love our children. Matthew 18: 5, 6." "Very disappointed! What right have you to force this on families?! Will not buy at McD ever again! Too bad a family-based establishment has to resort to this! What business is it of yours? This just shows that the gay movement wants to destroy families!" "I understand that "the world's largest fast food chain" has "allied itself and partnered with an organization" that lobbies Congress to enact laws which can be and is used to repress religious freedom or undermine the sanctity of marriage. While you are certainly free to align yourself with those with pro-homosexual agendas, I am free to boycott your organization for doing so. From now on, count me and my family's business o.u.t. of helping you further this perversion and immoral choice of lifestyle. After being a loyal customer for over 40 years, me and mine will no longer patronize any of your restaurants or charities." "SLIPPERY SLOPE--nothing bad happens "overnight," but this issue will divide our country more than the election! it is time to take a stand--I will miss my McDontald's, but that is what a boycott is all about! I also boycott Carl's junior for sleazy ads, so I am narrowing my list of fast food--thank goodness for IN_N_OUT!!!" "Our great-grandchildren love McDonalds, but their Mom is no longer going to buy fast food for them there. As seniors, I can't believe that McDonald's would suffer at all if they remained neutral on this subject. Their behavior (homosexuals) is disgusting and immoral. Therefore our family of 24 will boycott you until you agree to be neutral." "John 8:36 So if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed. Don't you desire to be free?" "McDonald's has spent a lot of money to portray a family image. Perhaps a sandwich board that says "McDonald's supports sexual perversion" on one side, and "McDonald's supports the homosexual agenda" on the other would be interesting. The media would love to cover that, and the info would get out to the world, free of charge." "I have been a rgular customer of McDonald's in the past, but until your position on supporting deviate lifestyles changes I won't be back in any of your stores." "I will avoid any association with McDonald's and will certainly not be purchasing any food or refreshments in the future. I will do all in my power to inform my friends os McDonald's anti-family position and promotion of the gay agenda. Our Burger King here in Rochester Hills, MI is next door to McDonald's and that's where I'll be going for my cheeseburgers, fries, and coke in the future. Goodbye McDonalds and may you wake-up & count the cost of your immoral decision." "My family and I usually eat at McDonalds atleast 2-3 time a week, but knowing this we will no longer eat at your restaurant and I will be passing on this information to all my extended family, my church, and everyone that will listen." "I, my famiily and all my friends will boycott McDonalds as long as they actively support this issue. I thought McDonalds was supposed to be a family restaurant???"" "So long to my morning coffee from Mcdonalds. I and my children and grandchildren will no longer buy from your establishment." "You risk losing lots of business. God and I hate sin. We both LOVE homosexuals- but hate their sin." "You are adding to the downfall of morality of our country. My family will not spend any further dollars at your company. I will urge my friends and people I do not know to do the same." "My family and I will no longer go to McDonald's. We're very disappointed that McDonald's, as a corporation, has chosen to support the homosexual agenda." "Chick-Fil-A has much tastier food and a nicer atmosphere anyway. It may be a tad more expensive, but it is cleaner, more child and family friendly and the service of the employees is so much more polite. And, if you like Christian music- that is what you will hear played over the intercom. What a lovely place to eat! I guess I really don't need those yummy Sweet Tea's anyway!" "Not will encourge my family of 23 people to boycott Mc Donald's but I will also ask them to encourage their friends to boycott." "I will no longer support McDonalds as they move to support a 1-2% of the population. I would thing donating that money to stamp out poverty in children would be a better investment. It wont be so easy to get people back once they leave. I for one, with all my family will not eat at Mcdonalds while they support and encourage this behavior." "I have eaten at McDonald's for as long as I can remember. I love Big Macs and your breakfast sandwiches. However, I will no longer go to McDonald's because of their alliance with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. This is not about individual homosexuals, but about a company allign itself with the homosexual agenda. The least you could have done is stay neutral. None of my family will eat at McDonalds until your stance is changed." "This is disgusting! I didn't like McDonalds before all of this even happened, and now I definitely don't like it! Goodbye Mickey D's! Hello Burger King!" "As long as McDonald's profits are used to support this type of agenda I will not be contributing to their profits." "I hope you have enough G and L's to keep you a float I will be eating at Wendy's." "What a shame for a wonderful "family" establishment like McDonald's to support such an abominable life-style. It was very interesting to me that when I went into a McDonald's on Highway 52 in Welcome, NC several weeks ago and mentioned to the Manager that I was not happy with the stand McDonald's was taking regarding the support of homosexuals, he got very upset and called me a liar. He said another customer had come in and said the same thing to him. He said McDonald's does not support homosexuals. I told him that he might want to check with his home office and ask about this since customers were mentioning it to him. It's truly a double shame if McDonald's has not informed their employees of their dollar support of homosexuals. McDonald's management, are you too ashamed of what you did to inform your employees of this? Neither I nor my family and friends will patronize McDonald's any longer until you rescind this decision." "It's clear that McDonalds has no interest in supporting proper morals, just their own pocketbook. Well, this is one woman that won't be taking her children to McD's any more." "The bible says to "love thy neighbors". It does not say anything about not loving a person that is gay, however there is a big difference in loving someone and supporting an ill cause that is directly against the bible and family values. My family and friends are boycotting Mc Donalds until they become nuetral. Just so you know, our last family reunion netted 250 relatives.Our site will be posting this boycott." "I worked for McDonald's during high school and college, multiple locations and states. I have eaten there for most of my life. I definitely agree with many of the other comments I've seen lately - if McDonald's is free to choose who and what they believe in and to spend their money (in reality, it was mine first) as they choose, then, SO AM I! And I CHOOSE to take my money elsewhere!" "You can treat homosexuals well without throwing your corporate support behind their adgendas. Please reconsider your actions. Sandi Howell" "Have you read the bible? No more McDonald's for me ever." "YAY - Burger King and Wendys should expect a boost in their revenue!! Thank you!! GO BK!!" "I have been a consistent customer at McDonalds for years. However, I will not continue to be a McDonalds customer if they continue to support the gay and lesbian agenda in this manner. McDonalds has joined the ranks of the other companies who don't know the difference between diversity with perversion. They have bought into the lie that any behavior is OK and there are no consequences for our bad choices. All McDonalds has done with their action is to advance the cause of perverse behavior. Shame on McDonalds. We need to be united on this and show the leadership the error of their ways for the sake of family values and the sanctity of marriage." "As a child of the 70's and 80's, McDonalds was THE place to go with friends and family for a quick bite, and a good burger. Now as a Christian, I cannot fathom patronizing a place where sin is accepted. We accept the sinner, not the sin. Funny, my bible says that sodomy between two men is a sin, and refers to sex between two women as "unnatural relations." Sorry McDonalds, my grandchildren to be will not know your restaurant until you remain neutral or come against this dangerous practice." "McDonald's is a FAMILY oriented eating establishment!! Why can't you remain NEUTRAL in such controversial affairs? Your loss." "The agenda for "gay rights" is Facist. If you don't agree to support them they attempt to destroy you. Look at what they are doing to helpful organizations like th Boy Scouts. McDonalds stepped in "it" this time. I will boycott Mcdonald's and publicly let all know to do the same." "I don't usual get involved in these issues but i think i will support businesses that support my values. this country is moraly bankrupt." "This is outrageous...I will no longer go to McDonalds." "I will not eat and I will ask my friends not to eat there either." "I used to stop by McDonalds almost daily, supported Ronald McDonald house.....no more, not until you change your support with the NGLCC. I will also email all 71 people in my address book, which includes many family members and I am sure most of those will boycott your company as well. God will not put up with actions like this for long and McDonalds will see a decline in sales....rest assured." "I usually take my child and others to McDonalds about twice a week. Now that I have been made aware of the repugnant choice that this corporate entity has chosen, I will no longer do any business with your company or any of your affiliates. I am sure that your company does not even care about us doing that, but if enough of us do it, then maybe you will take notice and realize that it is families that make your business, and to slap them in the face and take a stand with the homosexual agenda is to deny that there is a God and that he detests the act of homosexuality. It is an abomination to him, and anyone that gives this act creedence is guilty of the same abomination. So long McDonalds." "I and my family have bought our last meal at McDonald's. To support such abominable behavior is reprehensible." "I will not patronize any McDonald's until they remain culturally neutral. As a bus driver, I will do everything in my power not to stop at a McDonald's with any student group. They are no longer family friendly." "I am highly disappointed in McDonald's that they chose to support Gay Marriage. I will not be taking my family there any longer because I recognize that marriage should be protected and reserved for man and woman. It is frightening how far we have gotten away from what our forefathers staked their very lives and gave up so much to create a country and a democracy that stood for something righteous. I believe we were protected by the very hand of God in choosing to become a free nation against incredible odds. It will be difficult because McDonald's has always provided very good prices and more healthy options than a lot of other chains; plus it was a great place to let the kids burn off excess energy indoors when it's 115 degrees outside. But we as a family feel that it is too dangerous to become complacent when it comes to such important issues as this." "No more McDonald's for me. I am also passing this along to family and friends. I pray they will do the same thing. Boycott!" "Christian Schools all across America have consistently chosen MCD's as the place to stop after games, competitions, and field trips for so many years. Theey will certainly all change their food stops once this word reaches everyone. How sickening and sad for America. Please know real Christians love homosexual persons; this is about standing against a lifestyle that threatens our society. For those who really want the truth, they can find it in the Bible, GOD'S Word, not ours." "I am disappointed because my grandson will no longer be able to enjoy Happy Meals. His uncle died of AIDS and if you think our family is going to spend money at an establishment that promotes the gay lifestyle you are wrong. Goodbye McDonalds." "How can it be? McDonald's--the all-American institution--what are you thinking?" "Domestice violence is the highest among the gay community. gays also suffer from disproporate number of diseases like AIDs and other STDS. If gays are born that way what about pedophiles, beastialites and incestors?" "As for me and my house, all 9 of us, we will no longer be eating at McD's. I would not support discrimination of homosexuals, but this isn't about discrimination. In fact, to support NGLCC IS discrimanation against heterosexually owned companies." "I have always tried to instill in my child that for every choice there is a consequence; you can choose blessings or curses ... when she saw me reading the article about McDonald's supporting the homosexual lifestyle and actually putting it above family values at the age of 10, she told me that it was okay that we didn't at McD's any longer because she was making the choice to be pleasing to her Lord. And while Corporate America believes that they can continue to "shove" this in our face and tell us that because of freedom, because of diversity, we have to accept this as normal and good, there will always be those of us who will continue to teach our children to choose the blessings - I have stopped purchasing items at Wal-Greens because of their support as well as Heinz and Proctor&Gamble. . ." "How sad that you have chosen to fight against the traditional and biblical law of marriage. We have no control over what people choose to do with their lives, but we do have control over what we support with our money. I choose not to lend my money to your organization which in turn promotes something that I believe is wrong. I would do the same if you were promoting pornography, child abuse, living together without the benefit of marriage, abortion, and on and on it goes." "Since when did the most "family-kid friendly restaurant" become "support your sexual prefrence here" restaurant! are you kidding me! I don't want to quit but you have gone too far! If this were a diversity issue it would be different, but it is not and I am outraged that you would promote sex at a family place, please will you take it another step? I don't want to take a chance and give you any of my money to find out! please stop this or we will stop our business to you. And how can a place that supports Ronald McDonald House that helps so many includling my family and our twins, support a sexual issue that it has no business doing!!!!" "When I first learned of their intentions I decided we will not participate in McDonalds meals again." "I have eaten breakfast almost daily Monday through Friday for the past year and a half. I have your gift card I continue to reload. I love the employees and had my class take a tour. Your overall "family and community" seemed to be all American. Our country was founded on Judeo Christian beliefs. How can you turn you back on all this. How can you promote AIDS and STDS. These two illnesses have cost families their mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers; have cost countries millions of dollars. Abstinence and Marriage between one man and one woman have saved families, mothers, dads, sisters and brothers; have brought millions to their countries. I urge you to think on this and choose carefully where you want our great nation of America to go. What an article to read on our 4th of July weekend! :(" "I wish I had heard about this decision sooner. I have been stopping at McD's every time I go to town,even if I just get a Iced coffee(which I love)but I can't do that anymore. Shame on you I thought you were a FAMILY resteraunt.May our God forgive you!!!" "I can't believe that McDonald's would stoop so low as to endorse homosexuallity behavior. They are probably the leading fast food chain in America and they are sending the wrong message to our children and our world. They have always done things to reach the children in a positive way. But now they have turned their back on our children and moral behavior. They have lost a customre." "WE (200 relatives in the Montgomery, Al area) have eaten at McDonald's all our lives. (I'm 78) I can assure you your support for such a perverted, immoral and queer life style will not get another penny of my money and I'll do everything I can to persuade everyone I come in contact with to stop spending money with Mc. which supports such a lifestyle. It your company and you can do whatever you wish with your company, but It's my money I spend and I can spend it however I wish, and you bet it won't be spent at McDonald's." "I will informed my 5 children and 4 grandchildren along with our church congregation (youth ministry) that we will no longer be eating at McDonalds, It is time for every Christian to take a stand against immorality in our nation. McDonalds has made their decision to stand with the NGLCC, I have made mine to stand with the Word of God" "We used to eat a McDonald's every week (13 of us), but they're making us sick now! From now on....it'll be BK or Wendy's...... thank you!!!" "My wife and I, nine children, and 12 grandchildren intend to boycott McDonald's until you stop supporting the gay and lesbian agenda. I can only assume that gays and lesbians have infiltrated your management and are now making the decisions. If someone doesn't wake up, your stocks will be down the toilet." "Wow! America! We do still have morals. I am so proud of all of you taking a stand against a company that is bent on destroying the Family. I have boycotted McDonald's since they aligned with Disney. Now I see that I really do have company. McDonald's listen up, we are talking and you are losing! Lets show the corporate world we will make a difference with our one vote - Boycott!" "McDonald's is off our list of "family-friendly" restaurants because of the company's leadership supporting the gay and lesbian agenda with gay pride parade involvement, membership in the NGLCC, etc." "A Burger King just opened up in my town.How convenient, since I can not support McDonalds until they fix their Mcpinion on this issue.God bless the tradional marriage institution ,which He ordained from the beginning of time." "Myself, along with my husband, son, parents, 9 brothers and sisters, 6 in-laws, 18 nieces and nephews and many aunts and uncles will no longer be eating at McDonalds and any other people I will email this article to and pass along the word. I am sure my list will continue to get longer and longer and your customers will continue to get fewer and fewer along with the help of those who have left any comments and who are concerned with your agenda." "I am informing all my children an gran children to Boycott Mcdonalds, that is a total of 22 people" "I do not believe that supporting diversity includes deviate sexual behavior, what deviation will you support next? pedophilia? incest? Where does it stop??" "I've been eating at McDonald's since I was a teen. Fries are the best! And the breakfasts can't be beaten for the price. Now that I'm a verifiable senior citizen, I've grown to consider their coffee the best around, including Starbucks. While I'm not usually a boycott-prone person (although Ford got some of my abstinence and Honda benefitted), I will forego my DAILY morning coffee and breakfast and switch to Del Taco, or Carl's or some mom and pop until Mickey D's withdraws their support toward a group of people who are bent on destroying God's definition of marriage and family. Love the sinner; hate the sin. While McDonald's is free to support whomever they choose, so am I free not to eat at their restaurants. McDonald's, wake up before you suffer Ford's sales decline!" "I am informing all my children and grand children to BOYCOTT McDONALDS. That is a total of 22 people from my family." "What a disgusting disgrace...your establishment was always viewed as a "Family Oriented" fun place. Wioth your cheerful funloving clown mascot, Ronald. What business has a restaurant got to do with meddling in perverted lifestyles?" "We, including 7 grandchildren, will avoid your establishments from here on. You have chosen an immoral and repugnant culture ending activity." "I with 4 children who love Mcdonalds will cease to pay anymore visits to your golden arch's we will instead go to a rival of Mcdonald's the King or Wendy"s. My children will be disappointed but as long a you take this stand we will take our stand. Gay life style is not way of life but a sickness. May God have mercy on your soul MIster Ceo of McD's. Ask Bill Ford has his Ford Company is doing he went the same route you are taking and now shut down and lay-offs are occurring. Hope it's not to late for McD's." "AS A RETIRED DIRECTOR IN THE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION I WAS INSTRUMENTAL A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO IN BRINGING MCDONALD'S TO THE INTERSTATE LOCATIONS ON I 95 IN CONNECTICUT. AT THAT TIME I WAS PROUD TO BE A PART OF THAT EFFORT. TODAY I AM TOTALLY ASHAMED OF THE CORPORATE POSITION MC'DONALD HAS TAKEN ON THIS MATTER. I GUESS IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES EVEN MC"DONALDS WILL LOWER THEMSELVES TO MAKE A PROFIT. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PATRONIZE ANY OT THEIR RESTAURANTS IN CONNECTICUT OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER." "No more McDonald's for my 7 grand-kids!" "I will boycott McDonalds and will let all my friends and family to do the same. McDonalds is only ghurting their own company not helping it. Homosexuality is a sin and God will not bless those who promote it!!!!!! You have lost my families business!!!!!" "Like all that I have talked to, me, my famiily and friends will boycott Mcdonalds as long as they actively support this issue." "You cannot continue to disobey Gods laws (once you know the truth) and expect blessings for yourself or as a corporation. You are doomed to eventual failure. My family and many others will not support your decision to support what you call diversity, and what God calls perversion." "It's a sad commentary when our society has come to this--Anything goes and McDonald's supports it all. Well, McDonald's, I can and do refuse to support you. I won't be ordering anything more at your establishments." "Dear McDonald's, I have watched homosexuality ruin the lives of several of my friends. They will die because of the AIDS epidemic that they contracted while being a part of the homosexual lifestyle. I am a Christian and believe homosexuality to be wrong, but my boycotting of McDonald's has more to do with the ruined, shortened lives of my friends who have chosen this lifestyle. As my 8 year old said when she heard the choice of McDonald's "McDonald's is supposed to be a kids place. Why would they do that?" I must confess that I completly agree with her. And, even though I love your iced coffee and buy it often-and will miss it much-I will not be purchasing anything from McDonald's so long as you support a lifestyle that kills. Sorry for your choice." "I will no longer patrnize McDonalds." "Moral decay is rampant. I choose to take a stand. You should consider the effect your decision makes on family values. We will eat elsewhere, as you are no longer our choice of a family restaurant." "I, nor any member of my family, will patronize a McDonald's restuarant so long as McDonald's corporation embraces the NGLCC or any facet of the homosexual agenda. How's that for a reaffirmation?" "Too bad, McDonald's... This is very disappointing! You've made a terrible mistake since there are many more heterosexuals than homosexuals who patronize your restaurants. McDonald's will no longer be on our family's "favorites" list until a corporate decision is made to withdraw support for the homosexual agenda and instead, support family - marriage between one man and one woman. We will miss the wonderful chocolate chip cookies too! I will pass this on to others in our family and to friends and neighbors..." "From statistics I have read only about 2-3% of Americans are gay. That leaves 97-98% who aren't. That's a lot of dollars for McDonald's. We who are in the majority are not wanting the family structure changed. We should not flow with what society wants, but choose to serve God and his statutes. Study history and see what happened to the societies who turned their backs on God. Please, don't align with such a movement. May God have mercy on you. I choose not to support your institution again until you stop contributing to the corruption of the family." "I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MCDONALD'S THAT BEING SUCH A BIG COMPANY THAT THERE ARE BEING VERY UNWISE BY GETTING INVOLVED IN POLITICAL THINGS THEY SHOULD STAY NEUTRAL.I NOT SHOW PARTIALIALITY TO OTHER GROUPS.AFTERALL THE ONES THAT GOT MCDONALDS POPULAR ARE THE CHILDREN BUT NOT MY CHILDREN ARE GRANDCHILDREN WILL INVEST IN MCDONALD'S TILL THEY BACKOFF ON THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA" "Large corporations are quasi public institutions involving stockholders, customers, employees, etc. who have little say in corporate policy. A few influential individuals hijacking the corporation to support special interests is stealing from the public." "I am the pator of a church, and you can be assured on Sunday morning I will share your decison to promote and support the homosexual agenda with my congregation. We will no longer buy your products." "When I originally found out McDonald's had chosen sides in the culture war to promote the gays/lesbian/homosexual agenda's, I stopped taking my impressionable grandchildren to their establishments. I will drive to another fast food restuarant where kids/families will feel comfortable. Please reconsider who you want in your resturants." "McDonald's decision to side with and support the values and (im)morality of the NGLCC leave me no choice but to not trade with them anymore." "You have done very much damage and my family will not even consider going back until you have a change of heart. This is wrong for any family with children. You are not that stupid to think that people would not boycott you as long as this goes on." "I will not buy from any of your stores." "Used to be as American as baseball, apple pie, and Chevy--it's a shame when political correctness starts to outweigh common fiscal sense. I cannot support a business that supports the parading of sodomy out in public view of children. "Eat mor chikin!" is now my family's motto." "I guess I had my last Big Mac for a while." "I just ate my Mcgriddle last night. Too good but I can take Windys next time around becasue they are using this to support the wrong way of life." "McDonald's used to be a good family place. Sadly, you are no longer. My family will no longer support you. We will not be buying any McDonalds products until you change what you are doing." "We will not be going to McDonalds until its policy changes toward supporting the homosexual lifestyle and agenda by supporting it with money and being on the gay and lesbians' board of directors and/or giving it any other kind of support or "comfort." You may continue your support of homosexuality and its lifestyle - that is your right - however, I or my family and friends that I will be talking to and discussing this issue with, do not have to spend our money any more at McDonalds (our familiy's former favorite restaurant). I do want to make one suggestion however; that it is not very wise to alienate such a broad cross section of society to placate a much smaller one. McDonalds board of directors should take a hard look at its current management and their divisive policies." "If the board of directors & anyone else if charge of McDonald's would read their Bible, they would find out how God feels about homosexuality. In Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13, God tells us His plan is between a man & woman & also the punishment of death if His will is not obeyed. This is God's way, not man's way. I have a very large family & will be telling everyone of them not to darken the doors of McDonald's again until you stand FOR the GOD of our nation, instead of cowing down to a group of mixed up people. I do not apologize for my beliefs. If, we as Christians do stand up for what is right, the unsaved will continue to steamroll us. With God's correct stance behind me, I can't go wrong. God's way will never change!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!" "We have eaten at McD's for years and now our expanding family circle has reached 20 and we all have decided that McD's is no longer a family values place and will not support their agenda. You used to be a favorite but now until you stop your support of an agenda that does not further a healthy family centered society, you have totally lost our business." "My famliy will no longer partronize McDonalds estalishments until they publicly denounce their support of the Anti American liberal Homosexual agenda and show that they have adopted this policy of non support." "It saddens me to hear of your involvement in promoting the gay/lesbian movement. Because of your active stance, we will no longer be able to, in good conscience, take our grandkids to your restaurants. We will make certain that they understand why and will hopefully begin instilling in them the importance of standing up for what is right, even if there is a sacrifice to be made." "As a family of 6, you have lost your customers, I'm serving as a Pastor of a large denomination, and I will relay your agenda to a larger family" "America is sick and on life support. All it takes for evil to previl is for good men and women to do nothing. While we have been doing nothing, the radicals have been busy. Not it's McDonald's. I've spent my last dollar at McDonald's. Everyone needs to email all of their friends so that the impact is something that McDonald's will feel. Actually, if the truth were told, they do the American people a disservice anyway. The food is horrible for us and our kids." "McDonalld's should spend it's time focusing more on its out of date menu and quality of its employees than trying to make political statements. I used to eat breakfast at McDonalds literally everyday, but no more!" "we will no longer eat at McDonald's till we see that they do not support the gays" "We DO NOT NEED a "BrokeBack" McDonalds further destroying the fabric of OUR NATION !" "It saddens my heart that a politcal agenda is taking away a fun family place for my grandchildren. We will pray for the leadership of McDonalds, that they will turn from the Gay & Lesbian movement and focus their attentions on other worthy social causes (like the Ronald McDonald houses). We will not be supporting McDonalds until the actions of the leadership of McDonalds renounces it's membership in the NGLCC." "The family that started McDonald's must be turning in their graves. When my daughter was little we had a McDonald's Wednesday Sundae or a Sundae Wednesday. I have taken all 17 of my grandchildren to McDonald's and have gone there for 40 years. I will not subject my grandchildren to your terrible attitudes regarding gays. You are first and foremost just a family restaurant and not a political agenda. We can do very nicely without you. I'll take the grandchildren to another restaurant like Arby's which is much healthier and then to Bounceland for play time. See McDonald's, you can be replaced." "I don't have to punish you, but pray for you. God is in control. Wendy's and Hardees--I'm Back." "I just called my Salem, NH, McDonalds (12:15, July 4th) and talked to the manager. I politely told him I will boycott McDonalds because of their support for the homosexual agenda. He said, "I'm sure McDonald's will do fine without your business. Good luck with your boycott!", and hung up on me. Arrogance to me is one thing, but our children's morals are at stake here. So I stand by the boycott until McDonald's turns away from supporting immorality." "I do not condemn the homosexual, nor any sinner, but pray for them. I DO however condemn the SIN of homosexuality. Therefore I shall not support a company that, publicly, promotes open sin. If your stockholders were wise they would demand the company cease this policy and promote instead family friendly ideals." "My brothers and I always liked McDonald's as kids growing up. However, I will never be back to McDonalds, I will instead take my kids to Sonic where the food is better anyway. The Ford Motor Company didn't think anything about people boycotting their company, and they lost lots of money on that decision. McDonald's would be wise to learn from their mistake.The world is just getting worse by the hour. How sad this makes me!" "McDonalds has the right to support whomever they please and I have the right to eat elsewhere if I do not agree with their choice of who they sponser. My family will not support companies that undermine family values." "You have shown where you put your values I have alarge family and not only will they no longer stop with their children but we have pledged together to spread this to as many families we all know as possible We can get our Happy Meals elsewhere" "McDonalds is gross anyway. Haven't ya'll seen "Supersize Me"?" "My family (including several grown children and their children) will no longer be going to McDonald's, unless your support of the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage changes." "That's it !! My husband and myself and grandchildren will not ever walk through your doors again unless you stop supporting homosexuality in all it's immoral forms!!" "Tolerance is one thing, promotion is another. Until McDonalds officially declares and adopts profound neutrality in the culture war, they get none of my business." "The only way for these "family friendly" businesses to get the message is to hit them in the financial pocket. The gay and lesbian population is so much smaller than the family values population. Why they pander to that group makes no sense. But let's show them we aren't tolerating it anymore!" "I believe that all are equal in the eyes of God and should be treated with respect. However, that does not include promoting a lifestyle that is clearly a sin according to God's Word. We should love the sinner but not his sin and should definitely not encourage others to join in. Sadly, we wil be joining in the boycot. Goodbye...." "If the Homosexual agenda succeeds, there will be fewer children and fewer people to buy McDonald's products." "I will no longer choose to spend money at McDonald's because that money would go to support the morally wrong agenda of less than 10% of the population." "I sold my McDonalds Stock & will no long visit a McDonald's Restaurant in the future because of their choice to openly support a gay agenda." "I am SO disappointed in McDonald's! No more "Happy Meals"! Why can't McDonald's JUST serve food instead of getting involved with issue that has NOTHING to do with FOOD???!!! ALL the business that McDonald's has received from my family (and it was quite a bit) will be carried over to CHICK-FILA!!!!!!!!!!! Very disappointed McDonald's! You are hereby BOYCOTTED!!!" "I am so sorry about what mcdonalds is doing, but you know what? Dairy queen is usually right next to Macdonalds...so thats where I will go....even though I love the md's food.." "My wife and I, along with our 4 children will no longer eat at McDonalds." "Gay marriage destroys the family unit. The family unit is the basis for any civilized society. No more McDonalds for us until you remain nuetral on this issue." "WHY DO THIS?? MacDonalds does not need to be political. When I took my class on field trips, we would stop at MacDonalds - no more. I won't eat there or promote MacDonalds and will encourage others to do the same." "I am very dissappointed in Mcdonalds for their suupport of gay rights. I am a christian and have supported McDonald's for years myself as well as taking my grandchildren their. I will no longer give McDonald's my business and I will pass this information on to my family. My son-in-law is a minister and I am sure he will share this information with the congreation of his church." ""As a long time customer I find this stance a poor choice on the part of MacDonalds. I will discontinue dining with my FAMILY until they remove their involvement. I am curious to see if they would ever consider sponsoring and supporting the Christian Coalition?"" "And I thought you were a FAMILY restaurant. I don't want my kids exposed to this." "My Family & I will not go to McDonalds for any reason-your company no longer qualifies as a family restuarant." "My Granddaughter and I stop at our local McDonalds after church each Sunday for lunch... at least we used too. We will not be supporting this decision of yours." "Plain and simple I will not take my grandchildren to McDonalds again." "Some of these comments are not reflecting Christ like attitudes! However, I will no longer be stopping for chicken and fries as my 3 year old calls the happy meals. I do not apologize for my beliefs in any form or fashion but I do apologize for some of the hateful attitudes that are reflected in the comments. True Christianity is acting Christ like! God's opinion of homosexuality is written in black and white. Please see Matthew 19:4-6 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Please remember that just because we as humans think we are changing our "standards" for the better this does not mean that God has changed his mind. Remember that God's way is perfect. And God's way is clearly outlined in Matthew regarding homosexuality vs. heterosexuality." "Too bad that you choose to support perversion and not american family values." "As a Christian that is under attack from every angle and the morals of the country going south I will bypass the local McDonald's to go the the Chick fil a down the street. Their business shows the morals and character of our founding fathers and not of the present trend. My 5 children and 15 grandchildren will miss you but not your negative effect on our culture." "McDonalds,remember, that for the may people that are voicing their boycott, there are many thousands more that are boycotting that you won't hear from, they just won't show up to buy any more food from you. I will not be going back to McDonalds.Why not take down the "Golden Arches" and put up a pink triangle. When God says that homosexuality is wrong, that settles it. It's wrong, no matter what anybody else says." "It's sad when a company that has made it's fortune from touting it is a family restaurant goes against the people who have made you what you are. The gay lifestyle has torn my family apart and I will no longer take my grandchildren to your restaurant. I am a Christian and I stand with God and not the current political agenda." "I am way sick of the gay bullcrap. You apparently have too much money to literally throw away! You will not be wasting anymore of mine!" "As McDonald's is not a Christian establishment, I do not expect you to understand, adhere to, or operate your business based on Christian values. However, as a consumer, I would expect you to be much more in touch with your customer base & not make such an unwise business decision. For those who learn of your support of such a controversial issue, & many will, your largest customer base, the traditional family unit, will be alienated." "Good Bye Mcdonalds! You made your choice to support and endorse an immoral lifestyle and our family alond with 1000's of others have made our choice to not give you any buisness!" "McDonalds should stick to selling hamburgers. Not promoting an agenda that is wrong. We, the USA are in the toilet and about to be flushed. Wake up, time to bring morality back before the family unit is destroyed." "Not one penny of our money will be spent at a McDonalds Restaurant from this day forword until McDonalds Corp. stops promoting the homosexual agenda." "Dear McDonalds, I am an average American red blooded male. I have had ENOUGH of Militant Homosexual expansionism, which is really a form of terrorism. I promise you to NEVER shop at McDonalds again, ever. At the heart of the homosexual agenda is an absolutist agenda that seeks to destroy any and all oppostion to thier perversion. You are on the wrong side. I sincerely hope you lose millions." "If your parents followed the Gay agenda - you would NOT be here! I am VERY deisappointed that a family friendly institution like McDonald's has partnered with the anti-family lobby. What would Ray Croc do if he were here? I will pray for you." "Mr. McD, why are you wanting to destroy the family, support it." "I've sold my McDonalds stock and have quit frequenting your establishments. I will not be back as long as you insist on supporting the homosexual lifestyle. Perhaps you will make it, but I think not. Too many people are upset with this decision you've made. If you don't think this boycott will be effective, check with Fors Motor Company!" "I have always thought McDonald's to be so business smart but I was apparently wrong. This is a very bad decision for the company and I will no longer purchase anything from any McDonalds. P Jones" "One of my earliest memories is stopping by McDonald's for hamburgers and french fries with my family. How unfortunate that I will be unable to continue that custom with my grandchildren." "I'm from Chicago and grew up on McDonalds, but this move is why I have not spent 1-cent on any McDonalds' product in the last 5-years, nor will I or my family spend 1-cent more before I retire into Arlington Cemetery. Serve all customers, but by serving a limp-wristed cause makes McDonalds a limp-wristed waste of customer support." "I am done with McDonalds. Our youth group is leaving this sunday on a week long trip to New Mexico. We will not stop at the " golden arches" Bye" "duringthe summer months I typically stop inat a McDonalds 4 to 6 times a week. As of this moment I will not stop in at a McDonalds as longas you use the company to support "Diversity" in the form of homosexuality. i do not understand why you even get into this type of issue in the first place. good bye for now!!!" "the next thing you know RONALD will be molesting our children. No big macks for this family." "I don't particularly like McDonald's, but I will personally make an effort to patronize them more due to this progressive effort on their part. I find this website to be completely offensive. You people have no clue as to what the message of Christianity is." ""TO THINK IRAISED MY KIDS ON MCDONALD;S BIRTHDAY PARTIES!!! WE SHOULD ALL STOP EATING AT MCDONALD'S, AND SUPPORT KEEPING PRAYER IN ARE CHILDREN;S LIFE AND NOT THIS MUCK!!!" "McDonalds! You would not lower your food standards, so why are you lowering your moral standards. Come on, you are suppose to be a family restaurant. Not a business that promotes the destruction of the family. Till you "wake up" and do what is right, I, my family, nor my friends will be visiting your restaurant." ""You deserve a break today, so get up and get away... from McDonald's"... Now I Deserve Better... Wendy's! http://www.wendys.com/about_us/" "Adam and Eve --- not Adam and Steve - in God we trust - look at your money when you go to spend it and boycott a modern day Goliath" "As a corporate employer you have a moral responsibility to maintain high ethical standards.The fact you have contributed to an immoral and aberrant lifestyle will cost you my business and all my family members and relatives.It's your corporate profits at stake and loss of your position in the corporate community.I expect your Company to uphold higher moral standards." "The golden arches just became very tarnished! How sad." "oh no, its a shame i cant eat there anymore :( oh well, their bad for our health anyway :D" "I, too, along with all the thousands of people will not be stopping at McDonalds anymore. I am disguested that you support the gays & Lesbian organization" "I stopped eating at McDonald when I first heard of their stand on homosexuality. When traveling my family allways stopped at McDonalds for breakfast. So, McDonalds I hope you miss us because we will not be back. Maybe you can replace us with all the children produced by homosexual couples. I have already shared my feelings with friends and will continue to do so." "Our family has been going to Mcdonalds for many years. It is sad that you have made such a poor decison. There are so many good causes out there to support. Why not support those that are really making a difference for good in the world. By you giving to their cause, you are causing many to chose to dine elsewhere. This was a poor decision on your part." "I drive a school bus and will petition our school to no longer use McDonalds after school activities while on trips. Bill Martin" "I believe you are supporting the wrong agenda. The agenda of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ should be first and foremost in you r heart and mind. I sure would hate to be on your side of the wrath of God. We will no longer suppor a company who's beliefs are an abomination to God." "I am an American Citizen living and working in China. China comprises a very large market for your corporation as well as other American food & beverage outlets like KFC and Pizza Hut as well as Burger King, etc in limited markets. Words of this could get out to the Chinese, and they may likely stop eating at McDonald's too. There is already a preference in China for KFC and the popularity of BK is growing in Shanghai as well as other places. I considered it a treat every now and then to be able to go to McDonald's and get it a little taste of home....but now it looks like KFC will be getting the extra money. It is sad...I love double cheeseburgers..." "I am very suprised to find out McDonald's openly supports the gay issues. I have always felt that McDonald's was a staple in this nation...until now. I see that good morals and common sense is no longer in your vocabulary. Until it is back I, along with all in my church, will no longer spend my at McDonald's. God is not pleased with your actions." "Dear McD's, Sodomy is a sin. In the Bible, God judged it, and He has not changed his mind in these last perilous days. But I have certainly changed my mind about where I will be eating with my family, and it will not be at your restaurant until you stop supporting the gay agenda. I am disappointed that a family restaurant can do this with no guilt." "Well I won't be meeting with my group of friends at MC Donalds each day anymore. We have as a group met every day as a group at 3PM. Will spread the word to other friends also." "I'm disappointed that Mc Donalds Management is so dovoted to "diversity" that they would lend support to an agenda that promotes a lifestyle that has caused so much harm in out world. Promotion of homosexual conduct (especially to inpressional youth and sub teens) is not the kind of diversity that that promotes healthy human interaction. If same sex couples desire to form domestic partnerships that is avaialable without claiming that this is the same as the normal marraige whose most important task is to produce,raise and nurture children (the next generation) and the foundation of all healthy societies. Please reconsider your actions." "We have eaten at McDonald's hundreds of times;I even worked at a McDonald's for awhile. However, my husband and I will not be eating at any McDonald's. We have found a wonderful Burger King nearby which will be getting our business as long as you find it necessary to financially support the gay and lesbian Chamber of Commerce. We may not be able to control how you choose to spend your money, but we can control how we spend ours, and it won't be at a McDonald's." "We're on vacation, and for the first time ever, we have not stopped at a single McDonald's. It has not been a difficult decision for us, with 3 young children - we want the world to be the best place it can be for their future. There are plenty of other places to choose from. I must admit, I do miss the parfaits, but not enough to give my money to them and the causes that they support." "Good bye Mc Donalds. Hello Jack!" "I am disappointed in your decision to support not the gays or queers but (homosexuals), I and my family will not support your Business any longer." "I am 77 years old and have eaten at McDonald's since the first million was shown sold, but no more. I also have eleven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren whom I will discourage from patronizing your establishments. Shame on you and your entire board of directors." "I am sad to hear that McDonald's is choosing to support this lifestyle. We as a family have already boycotted girlscouts and their cookies for the same reasons. Alot of people don't realize that they also support the gay lifestyle. I'm glad that their is Chick n fill out there to take McDonald's place. We will be praying for the company and for the Lords will to be done." "As sad as I am to hear what McDonald's has decided, I know Taco Bell, Whataburger, and Sonic are thrilled. They get our business now." "My first job was with Mcdonalds in 1965 in Huntington, WV. We took our kids there hundreds and hundreds of times so I can't do that any more because they are married and have their own children,but I did call my son and two daughters who among them have seven children,after telling them about Mcdonalds endorsement of gays, gay merriage etc. All of them said they were shocked and said there would be NO more trips to mickie Ds until Mcdonalds stoped supporting the gay life style!" "I am disappointed that McDonald's has decided to support the gay agenda. I will not support a business that has so little regard for the family. I realize it is your choice to support this cause just as it is my choice to not support you. I hope you reconsider!" "I have never really been a big fan of McDonald's menu, but this news just REAFFIRMS my decision to eat my fast food elsewhere! Lord, have mercy upon this nation!" "How can you consider this family friendly? I am very disappointed in your decision to support the gay/lesbian agenda. I will certainly forward this to everyone in my address book. We cannot be silent about such an atrocity." "McDonalds, you have went to far left on the Gay issue. I and my complete family will not eat there again. Hopefully you will come to moral family thoughts and reverse this support." "It is a sad statement for our world when we see political agendas even coming across in the company that serves our kids happy meals. No more Happy Meals for us...we join the many in our small town to boycott Micky Ds. Please reconsider your motives." "We will no longer be customers of McDonalds. You have made your choice to support the values of the National Gay and Lesbian Movement.We do not wish to be exposed to their culture nor do we wish to support them in any way financialy or otherwise." "You advertise straight to children (Happy Meals). Can anyone say pederasty? This lifestyle' you embolden is really a deathstyle! Please repent of your error." "Because of your support for the radical homosexual agenda and disregard for traditional marriage and American cultural values, I will no longer patronize McDonalds" "Sorry, McDonalds, but no more of those delicious ice cream treats and marvelous McGriddles for us. We ask that you will please reconsider your position in supporting NGLCC - please remain neutral. Better yet - send your money to Ronald McDonald house, a charity I support nearly every time I go to McD's. That is a truly wonderful cause, and I thank for it. So bottom line, please keep up the good work on Ronald McDonald house, and concentrate on developing more great food! Thank you kindly for your consideration." "I have eaten at McDonald's for 40 years, and my husband and I both worked for your company for several years. I am sincerely disappointed that the corporation has not remained the wholesome, family-oriented company I have always been proud of. I will frequent other fast-food restaurants as long as McDonald's corporation supports the homosexual agenda." "McDonald's has always been a FAMILY PLACE--please don't get mixed up in a cultural war--please stay neutral on this and don't endorse any special controversial groups-- you will lose a lot of customers as this gets around---WISE UP and don't ruin a good thing." "Dear, McDonald's. Last week I ate a cheeseburger at your restaurant. If I would've known it was created by gay loving hands, I wouldn't have purchased it. Don't you guys know gays were behind the holocaust? First Jews, and now the family. What is next, McDonald's? Are you going to help gays eradicate sand? WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT SAND!?!?" "I am sorry that McDonald's has decided to take on this agenda and therefore I will boycott McDonald's until their position is changed. I will also encourage many of my friends and family to do the same. I know that in this unstable economy, you may be closing forever when the boycott is soon noticed by your business associates." "I am disappointed in your decision to support the gays, I am thankful that there other fast food places to go to here in Austin, Tx I will no longer support your business if you continue this practice." "I personally have been boycotting McDonald's ever since AFA sent out the info about the company supporting the homosexual lifestyle. My kids want nothing to do with McDonald's anymore and refuse to eat there also!! They think their food is gross and you couldn't talk them into eating there even if someone else wanted them to." "I was sorry to hear about your decision to support the gay/lesbian agenda. You are a family restaurant so supporting a socially controversial agenda that is clearly against family values does not sit well with us. Your personal lifestyle is your personal business but to put Mcdonald's name behind the NGLCC tells me that you don't care about my family values and that is offensive. We will not be able to patronize your business until you change your stand on this issue." "I have always considered McDonald's a family friendly place, however, the corporate decision to reaffirm their support for and involvement with the homosexual agenda changes that. I no longer consider McDonald's a place where I would want to take my grandchildren. This saddens me because my sons grew up loving McD's and I thought my grandkids would also. That will not be the case." "We are so sad that McDonald's has chosen to support the homosexual lifestyle. We will miss our Big Mac and the rest of their great menu selections. We're joining the boycott." "I am appalled at you blatant disregard of the traditional family who makes up 99.9% of your business. I too believe this is a bad business decision as well as a moral one. I will no longer do business with you and I most certainly will forward this to everyone I know. Too bad my grandchildren will not get to enjoy all that McDonald's has had to offer. Wonder how long you will be in business with a bad economy and loss of those who value traditional family values and Christian views." "How sad it is for a enormous company like McDonalds to let a homosexual employee use his position in the company to promote his personal agenda of forcing the homosexual lifestyle on America other nations around the world where they do business. Rethink this folks. It's a bad choice that will cost you millions in the long run. We travel full time and have been spending over $2,000 a year with you. That stops today!!! You're supporting a lifestyle that goes directly against my values and beliefs and I for one am NOT loving it!" "I have been a MD customer for over 50 years. It saddens me to see the management reject the clear teaching of the Bible and embrace a position against God. I cannot in good moral conscience support such a company. I am a leader in our church. I have children, friends and relatives who will join the boycott." "You have went too far as a company. I will cease to patronize your stores period." "WE GO TO MCDONALDS FOR YEARS. NO MORE. WE WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN YOUR PLACE AGAIN. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF FAMILY PLACES APPROVING THE GAY LESBIAN ALLIANCE. NO MORE KIDS MEALS FOR US. AND MANY OTHERS WILL BE TOLD ABOUT IT." "I will no longer eat at McDonald's. This is supposed to be a family place to eat, however I will no longer buy food there and I will encourage my family & friends to boycot McDonald's as well." "McDonald's says they are committed to diversity. Political Correctness and diversity are two of the major reasons that this country is in such a mess. Diversity is not a strength. It is a weakness. Diversity divides a country or a pople. Also homosexual life style is one of the major reasons that Greek and Roman empires fell. I will not eat at McDonals' again." "i really like mcdonalds food but if they support homosexual i will not eat their food, ill go to wendys.you will lose me as a customer. james mcdaniel" "I will no longer be supporting you. It is too bad an organization that is known for helping so many people through charity and the Ronald McDonald house is choosing to support immorality. I will go to Subway or Wendy's instead, and will share this news with everyone I know." "I am saddened that McDonald's has made a decision to openly support the gay agenda. We are all entitled to our own choices, but as a business that caters to families, your decision to support a lifestyle that is considered immoral to most people will do nothing but hurt your business. I believe McDonald's will soon realize that this "open" support is offensive to the most people. Catering to those who choose a "different" lifestyle will hurt McDonalds. I'm sure you're finding already that word is spreading rapidly and you will see a decline in business. I will not allow my children to think that because McDonalds supports this lifestyle makes it acceptable. Therefore, I will see to it that my family no longer dines at McDonalds." "With the nearest McDonald's less than a mile from home, it is very easy to run to McDonald's and go through the drive-through. But no more, while McDonald's is endorsing and promoting a lifestyle that is contradictory to traditions that create strong families, and values that have made America great." "I wanted to leave a comment, but there is no way to type a comment in." "Our family and friends will no longer buy any thing from McDonalds. McDonalds you have taken the wrong path this time, you wont your bottom line to stay in the red stop supporing any antifamily movements. Then we will think about coming back to your fast foods. We will be telling and emailing everyone we know. We made you what you are today and we can if we have to break you by boycotting." "I will not be quiet about this, and will encourage everyone I Know to boycott McDonald's" "You can choose to support whatever you wish but the refusal to give financally to a group who some of your customers do not agree with and brag about it. I will use In and Out, Burger King,Jack-in-Box,Sonics before eating at McDonalds again.The homosexual cause once it dies down you will have lost many customers." "Let me do the math for you McDonald's, add 2 homosexuals, subtract my family of 6 leaves you -4 people. Now multiply this by 3 times a week times who knows how many families across America, I smell RED ink. Besides the immorality of the support, which we believe is very immoral, sinful, and wrong, I just don't get the business decision? I would loved to have been sitting in on that executive decision! "Ok, let's throw support to this minority group that spends half of 1% of their total income on our products, in light of the fact that it will drive away our main customer base that spends upwards of 3% of their income on a our products." "I don't know if you have ever heard of Ivan Pavlov but he is the gentleman everyone referrs to when the describe me and a McDonald's restaurant. This has been the case ever since I was in 9th grade and I ate 13 cheeseburgers to beat this large senior. (who could only eat 5) I am now thirty-one years old, own my own company, am active in the community and my church and have four wonderful children." "We live in the best country in the world. We are free to have our own businesses and we are free because the Lord has iven us freedom. Please reconsider your support for the gay and lesbian lifestyle. I think you will be blessed if you stay away from it." "For so many years McDonalds has been considered a place for children & families but now because of your endorsement for the GAYS you have now changed that Status. No more McDonalds for me." "no more for us. we liked your dollar menu on fast and furious evenings after school, but we will now go to wendys." "McDonald's just bowed down to the false but popular and spineless god of political correctness, and lost me as a customer." "I have ate at a Mc Donalds ever since they first opened many years ago. I have also ate at white casyles is far back is I can remember, but found I loved McDonalds more, but since you find that it is better for you to side with the homosexeuals rather then just staying nretrual I will go back to eating whitecastles, Burger Kings, Wendys, Hardies plus the many other places that sell the same items that you sell.I will no longer spend my money to support homosexuality." "It's sad to see this large of a corporation take advantage of it's loyal customers that made them the fiancial giant that they are today. By blatant refusal to pull their endorsement of the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce after being asked to, has made it easy for me, my family to strictly boycott any McDonalds product! I am somewhat of a activist myself, so I will be informing everyone that I can to join in the McDonalds boycott. Somewhere down the line, people will start to get the idea that the whole world is NOT in favor of the homosexual lifestyle." "Dear Sirs, Because this is a free country, you may choose to support whatever cause you wish. And you must realize we have the same choice. From now on, we choose to eat at Sonic, or Burger King, or any of a number of other stores, but not at McD's." "When are you going to change the golden arches to pink?" "Dear McDonalds, I have been a customer of McDonald's for a long time. But no longer. As long as McDonalds corporate leaders support the homosexual political and cultural agenda, i will not set foot in a McDonalds restuarant. Period. i will be passing along this info to family and friends. it seems that by this "reaffirmation", you have effectively taken a step against the traditional Christian family and home. Bad move...." "We had just begun to enjoy your new coffees. No more let the gays have it." "You can forget about getting any more of my money!!!" "How disappointed, angry and disgusted I am with McDonalds. This is appalling! - How sick and perverted are you to go agains God and His holy principles. We all reap what we sow; one day the wrath of God will come upon all who blatently go against His holiness and His principles." "You just lost at 25 customers. We are a very close family and our stand against the abomination of the homosexual lifestyle is united. What a shame that you choose to support this horrible lifestyle when you used to stand for the true American family, a mother, father and children. We will not patronize a business that supports this ungodly, life destroying way of life." "I am very sorry that McDonalds has decided to put their support behind a clearly non-family organization. MxDonalds has always been a "family" place to eat; however, until this practice is reversed, neither I, nor my family, will visit your establishment again. I had 3 granddaughters at your restaurant this afternoon, but NEVER again until you change. I have family in many parts of the country, and I am informing them all today of your actions. Rest assured that NONE of them will visit McDonalds again until YOU reverse your decision." "I will take my money elsewhere until you get your priorities in order." "I am soooo going to miss McGriddles, sigh...but it is a small price to pay in the larger scheme of things. Our family will no longer spend our money at a business that openly supports the "gay" agenda." "The sin of homosexuality is fast becoming the most devisive issue in our country. This is definitely a shame since such a small percentage of the population is openly gay. It is shameful that a corporation as large as McDonald's feels it is necessary to cater to such a small number and for what purpose?" "My little granddaughter has loved "Ronnie Mac's" as she calls it, but her days to eat and play there are over. Hope the powers that be for McDonald's will awaken to the importance of separating their personal preferences from business. If not, I'm sad to see something that has been so All American be thrown into the perversion pot!" "So much for being a family friendly place. No more Micky D's for me..." "For over 40 years, I have thought that McDonald's stood for everything that is American. Now, to my dismay, McDonald's has sunk to the bottom of all what America is about. How could an establishment openly support Gay and Lesbian practices, those that are only maybe 2% of American's. In doing so, they are going against the other 98% that are opposed to endorse this lifestyle. From this day forward, I will do everything in my power to inform everyone I know, what McDonald's is about, and that they are against the vast majority of American's and support the minute few. You will never get a dime from my family or anyone I can let know about your organization." "i have just learned about this issue and i must say that i have been with mcdonalds for 10 years and the only reason i am staying with them is becausse of the insurance i am in my 50s and it would be hard for me to get insurance anywhere else but just because i am with the company doesnt mean that i wont bring it to my bosses attention as to how i feel i work for a family restrant and promoting this behavior is very very BAD everyone has a right to do as they please but in private not where young children are i have been in other place and saw the way these people behave and it is not suitable for a public place." "I've never cared for Mickey Ds, but have always bowed to my kids and now grandkids to stop there. Well, no more Happy Meals for my Grandkids and neither will their parents patronize MDs anymore." "I am so disappointed that you have made such a poor business decision. We will have to find somewhere else to have our Sat afternoon playtime and meal. Somewhere else for our else for our family of 8 to stop for fast food. Somewhere else for my husband to get his lunch. After 8 pregnancies of McD's cheeseburger cravings, for this ninth I've had to switch to Whopper Jr's. I guess our "family's" few hundred dollars a year was not important to you. A formerly devoted McD's family" "It is very unfortunate that McDonald's has chose to aggressively support an agenda that goes against nature itself. No more McDonalds for this family!" "Ditto. Done with McDonald's. Like Ford, they seem to think offending the vast majority of Americans in the name of "diversity", which this is not, to support a view most Americans abhor makes business sense. Thank God Ford finally woke up and got a dose of common sense. Go right ahead, NcDonalds. You'll find despite what the liberal news media represents in their phony polls, most Americans still have basic Judeo-Christina values. Don't hate homosexuals any more than I hate pedophiles. Pray for them all; they're in bondage just like a drug addict, a porn addict or an alcoholic. Doesn't mean I'll in any way condone what is wrong or think those who misguidedly do so are "supporting" them. Do you support an alcoholic by giving them a bottle of liquor, or do you try to help them get free of what's destroying their life?" "So much for being a family friendly place. No more Micky D's for me..." "Since Levittown, PA, I have eaten McDonalds, about 51 years ago and now tose times are over, no more Mickie D's." "All of us in Yorkville will not be eating at McDonalds We are asking you to be neutral...Its that simple!" "McDonald's has always been a treat that I shared with my grandchildren when they came to visit. Now, that will no longer happen. We are a family that has a strong relationship with God and we are believers in the Bible and what it says about homosexuality. It is an abomination to God. That doesn't mean that we are to treat them badly. God spoke strongly in several places against homosexuality. I just see this as a way to jam an unGodly way of life down our throats and we are supposed to just shut-up and take it. A place that supposedly is a family catering business is not how I see McDonald's behavior now!!! This is just another way to try and corrupt children and society in a perverted lifestyle. You will not be getting any more of my money and I am passing this on to all I know." "Wendy's in Booneville,MS, looks better and better@" "Thank-you McDonalds I had forgotter how much better Burger King is" "Since McD has abandoned its family-oriented base, guess we'll just have to abandon McD. Maybe they'll have enough homosexuals to pick up the slack the rest of us create." "WOW all that money I spent!!! Well No More Happy Meals for my 4 kids!!! So Sad!!!" "I always thought of McDonalds as a family spot, clean and decent with high values, aplace to take my kids and grand children. I will never go there again." "It is too bad that McDonald's is supporting the gay and lesbian movement. I guess you never heard about Sodom and Gomorrah in the bible. Read the book of Genesis as this will give you all the information needed as to what happens to those that support homosexual behavior. God determined to punish them by wiping them out. "Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens" Genesis 19:24. "Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly" II Peter 2:6. I am informing everyone in my family and circle of friends to boycott McDonald's. I (nor my family and friends) support business that supports an ungodly way of life. McDonald's better take a good look at other businesses that have supported homosexuality and hope they heed the warning." "Dear McDonalds Corp, This is NOT a hate letter directed to you against anyone. It is my deepest sadness that you will not stand for the original family unit which includes a MALE AND FEMALE...the way God intended a family to be. You are standing for perverted sexual preferences which is NOT what made this country strong for over 200 years. There will be no Mc Cafe for our family...something I was looking forward to trying. Please listen to the MAJORITY and quit using your company to further the gay/lesbian agenda which is NOT the voice of AMERICA!" "Dearest McDonalds, I am deeply saddened at your decision to sponsor the sodomitic lifestyle. Thoughts have consequences, which usually lead to actions and it seems that McDonalds has caved to a few sodomites that believe that their choice to have sexual relations with the same sex is on par with other true civil rights. I am sorry to say that my limited discretionary spending allocated to fast food will now go to any other restaurant besides your own. McDonalds...Think things through and seek the will of God, not the will of people who believe that their physical urges to have sex in an un-natural manner have any priority what-so-ever. Good Luck...:(" "By doing this McDonalds sides with those who are out to destroy the concept of normal relationships and replace it with one of perversion is OK. I will not support of do business with those who support perversion." "You have just lost a reliable customer who has loved eating at your diners. I will, in the future, give my patronage to Whataburger in Texas" "As Registerewd Nurses, my wife and I know the 15 to 25 yr. shortened life of homosexuals.We'll pass on anything Micky D's might pass to us." "Dear McDonald's Corporation: I am deeply saddened to know of your homosexual agenda to promote this lifestyle. McDonald's has always brought children smiles and brought families together. We have already sat?" "By doing this McDonalds sides with those who are out to destroy the concept of normal relationships and replace it with one of perversion is OK. I will not support of do business with those who support perversion." "You people are kind of slow on this. I started my boycott when the first announcement about their NGLCC involvement was made. No money for McD's ever again." "Burger King just got another customer" "McDonalds has officially become sponsors of perversity not diversity, being black a woman,Indian or Jewish are immutable traits that constitute as diversity, you are sponsoring child molestation, and perverse behavior these vile people have chosen to lead this deathstyle! Over 66% of all molestation are in the sodomite community, staggering considering only 2-3% of the population are queer! God will bring you down for supporting what He call an abomination. Judgement is already on this nation, now you have joined God's list of enemies!" "Dearest McDonalds, I am deeply saddened at your decision to sponsor the sodomitic lifestyle. Thoughts have consequences, which usually lead to actions and it seems that McDonalds has caved to a few sodomites that believe that their choice to have sexual relations with the same sex is on par with other true civil rights.

McDonalds...Think things through and seek the will of God, not the will of people who believe that their physical urges to have sex in an un-natural manner have any priority what-so-ever. Good Luck...:(" "SoHIS is the secret sauce? No thanks!" "What an American tragedy, I grew up with McDonald's, but my kid's will not nor do they want to support your promotion of the degradation of this world. Scratch McDonald's!!" "Thank you McDonalds for standing up to what is morally right. Sorry you whack jobs. Your business will not be missed." "We wll no longer be eating at McDonalds. We will take our business elsewhere until you change your gay stance." "I will no longer spend any money at McDonald's." "There is no greater threat to the American family than your action supporting homosexual marriages and the homosexual lifestyle. You were not required to make a statement that directly supported this gross divergence from healthy and appropriate love that families living as they were biologically created for. We are not your Judge but one day you will have to face HIM. I pray that you find the Truth before that day. In the meantime -- Wendy's has better hamburgers." "A mCdONALDS IS SCHEDULED TO BE OPENED BY FALL IN OUR COMMUNITY. I WILL ENSURE EVERYONE LOCALLY IS AWARE OF YOUR SUPPORT OF QUEERS/GAYS/LESBIANS. MY 2 NEICES & TWO NEPHEWS ARE GOING TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THATS WHAT YOU STAND FOR -- THE OVERTHROW OF CHRISTIAN AMERICA.NO MORE MCDONALDS IN OUR ENTIRE FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!" "SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU. I AM SORRY THAT YOU'RE FORCING ME AND MY FAMILY TO BOYCOTT MCCONALD'S RESATAURANTS BECAUSE YOU CONTINUE TO "MIND OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS". WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IS "THEIR BUSINESS" AND I HATE THAT YOU'RE PUSHING IT ON ME AND MINE. YOU WILL LEARN THAT WE (THE MAJORITY) ARE NOT INTERSETED IN THE HOMOSEXUAL / LESBIAN / BI-SEXUAL / PORNOGRAPHY AND PEDAFILIA AGENDAS AND WE WILL FIGHT." "I hate the "Big Mac" has made a mistake in choice." "Sorry no more breakfast biscuits for me at mickey "D"There are other fast food places" "I am so sorry that you have chosen to go this route. My childen liked your Happy Meals but due to your decision to support the Gay movement they will no longer be eating at your resturant any where." "You have lost my business. I am sorry that you have made this choice. As you can see I have a choice also and am making mine against you and your stand for immorality." "My family will no longer frequent any McDonalds." "no more mcdonalds for this family,not my wife or I,nor three sons and their families,14 people,we will be contacting the rest of family and feel sure that upwards of 43 members will no longer stop at any mcdis." "MCDONALDS HAS BEEN AN ALL TIME FAVORITE IN OUR HOME FOR YEARS!I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT ALOT OF THEM FOR THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE FOR ST.JUDES AND OTHER THINGS!!!I HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING SERVERED BY GAYS NOR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO DO "BEHIND" CLOSED DOORS BUT I DO KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND I DO BELEIVE IN IT. OF COURSE THAT IS MY CHOICE TO LIVE BY THE GOOD BOOK.I THINK THEY ARE GOING OVERBOARD SUPPORTING GAY MARRIAGES!IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGES OR IT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AGAINST THE LAW TO BEGIN WITH!!!!WHAT IS THIS TEACHING OUR CHILDREN?MCDONALDS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE CHILDREN THIS JUST TELLS ME THEY REALLY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE CHILDREN!I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILD TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS.I REALLY HATE THAT OUR MCDONALDS OUTINGS ARE GOING TO COME YO AN END!!" "There is a McDonalds and a Bojangles coming to my town and both are in the process of being built, but I will choose Bojangles, becasue there is no sense in labeling yourself like that all the time. Just be a human being and get away from all that other crap. Gay or straight, who gives a crap???? You gays make it worse by going overboard about everything" "Bad decision regarding NGLCC. I, and my colleagues are greatly disappointed. Yo0u have chosen them over a majority. Dr. Philip Hurlbut" "How sad that you choose to align yourselves with the Homosexual agenda. Now the 9 adults and 12 children in our family will be spending our money elsewhere." "Until you get back to where you were, I shall no longer patronize your eatery!" "I am emailing everyone in my address book and asking them to boycot McDonalds. I will no longer patronize your establishment. God has clearly spoken in his word that "If we would turn from our sinful ways and seek Him, then He would hear from Heaven and heal our land." Repent of your wicked ways and seek His forgivness." "You have lost my business forever... Unless you (repent)! The gay community can't even reproduce customers (children=People) how dumb can Mcdonalds be? Think about it........." "McDonald's has been an icon in our country but unfortunately, it doesn't represent the moral families of our country. The agenda that you are taking up is immoral in the sight of all good American people, a majority in our country, that marry, (male and female) and produce produce children. The homosextuals cannot produce the next generation of hamburger lovers. But we men and women brought together in marriage can. I hope you reconsider your position on this issue, before you are mcWHO????" "I have always eaten at McDonalds. Due to your choice to support the homosexual community of immoratity, I no longer will be frequenting your establishment. It's too bad you are choosing sin over righteousness!" "McDonalds you are contribuiting to the downfall of our country" "We are so sorry to hear that you will be supporting NGLCC. We will no longer be eating at any Mc Donald's establishment. We have strong Bible based, family values and would think that your goal would to be reach out to families. We will pray for you." "Here is another family that will not support McDonald's and will ask other families to boycott also. Remember, one becomes two, becomes four, becomes eight and so on and so on! Yours truly, Born Again Christian" "I had a choice on Tuesday where I would buy lunch for my son and me..it was not McDonald's nor will it be the next time we do a fast food meal. Will share this with my siblings and other family members as well as friends.. This diversity itis not our family choice or God's intended lifestyle." "I love MacDonald's restaurants but will no longer support your pro-homosexual stand in our community. You have seen FORD suffer with our boycott and now your restaurants will be in the same position. No more Happy Meals for my family!" "burger king here i come" "I am very grieved to hear about McDonalds' choice in this matter. As of now we will no longer do business with them and encourage our friends to do likewise until the change this policy. They took their stand and we'll take ours." "I will not patronize McDonalds until they cease promotion of the sexual pervertion agenda." "We won't be going to Mc's any more. A major Corporation has a pitiful sense to be "throwing the full weight of their corporation" behind a person's sexual choice. They are apparently about the wrong business. Myself and my kiddos won't be going there anymore. Guess we'll be doing more Homemade Happy Meals from now on. I can still cook!" "The McDonalds corporation has always been a great organization for their ability to provide services to the public. However, why then would it choose to contribute to Nat. Gay/Lesbian Organization to promote an absolutely WRONG agenda? It should be putting its "contributions" toward world hunger, grants for schools and hospitals etc., more than they have in the past, instead of promoting negative moral values to our kids. Thiy have, and will notice a sizable reduction in their business, and profit margin in the future, I'm sure. Don't fool yourselves Mr McDonald Corp. You can brag about how good you are now, but your hay-day is coming to an end with customer boycotts, and loss of business in the not to near future." "We didn't eat at McDonald's because our Dr. said it was the least nutritious place to eat. I heard you were trying to improve your menu to be more nutritional. However, now, we have a much better reason to NOT eat with you!! The choice you have made to support the gay community is a sad choice. No matter how good your food may be, your influence has "gone down the tubes"!! The moral trend in our world is bad enough without someone who was so popular as you, joining forces on the 'bad side'. It's a sad, sad day!!" "Wewill not take our grandkids or go with them anymore to McDonalds or go with our Sunday night group to McDonalds. So very sad the way our country and CEOS are going." "I am totally disappointed about this, and the use of your funds for the gay community. It is NOT right. There are many other much more important causes out there that need support." "The McFaddin Family will vote with our Money and Feet and take our business elsewhere! You can stuff your Happy Gay Meal and Happy Gay Agenda where the Sun don't Shine!" "I'm am saddened to hear that McDonald's has taken this stand. As a Christian I too must take a stand. I will no longer give my hard earned money to a company who so blantantly insists on supporting a lifestyle that our Lord calls an abomination. He loves all sinners, but not the sins they commit. You all might want to reconsider that stand." "I'm sad...I will no longer support McDonald's." "A company like McDonald's should remain neutral in this debate. Supporting any organization that lobbies to pass an amendment guaranteeing gay marriage is definitely NOT remaining neutral. If you are going to take a stand, then so are we!" "How dare you support an anti family agenda!!! You know darn well many families can't afford to eat elsewhere. I will be boycotting you and I will pay for these families to eat elsewhere. Hey, I need $20,000 and you can be on the board of directors for clean lifestyles!!!" "GOODBYE MCDONALDS unhealthy food, unhealthy lifestyle." "No more Big Mac for my family or happy meals. Boy cott is in effect." "We have an extended family of nearly 100. No more McDonald for us. And everyone else that I can spread the word to. Thot McDonald's was a sure good place for children, but you sure have ripped your britches...." "My wife, myself and our four children ages 1,3,7,and 9 will not be eating at McDonalds until they stop supporting the homosexual movement. It is hard to beleive that a company that has been built by the family is now working to tear it apart!" "I'm so ashamed that McDonald's is openly disrespecting God. Our family of 6 will no longer eat Mickey Ds!" "This is not the McDonald's that I grew up with. My family and I will miss those Chicken McNuggets and fish sandwiches." "So long McDonalds. I will go elsewhere." "As I travel across America I have patronised Mcdonals almost every day for the last 12 years. However since I learned about your position on homosexual and gun control, I have ceased to be a customer and have and will continue convincing others to do the same. Mcdonalds no longer exists in my world." "I will no longer eat at McDonalds b/c your corporation is morally irresponsible." "There are too many other restaurants to choose from to give my money to a company who supports the distruction of family values. We are finished with McDonald's." "Well, I've made my decision. I was just getting hooked on McDonald's Iced Coffee, but have had my last one. I am a mom of 2, and I can guarantee we will no longer frequent McDonald's. Too bad you've decided to support the few, and tick-off the masses. Shame on you, McDonald's!!" "Thanks for adding a new motivation to make that diet work. I'm sure I can lose a few pounds not eating at MC D's." "McDonald's no more! You want to support those who choose to abominate our Lord, You will not see me at McDonald's again until you reconsider your position and even then I don't think I'll come back as I still don't trust Ford either." "I will take my business elsewhere. I will tell my family and friends that 'Ronald McDonald' has chosen to support an organization that supports pedophilia and all manner of anti-family, immoral destructive behavior. Your food is no longer edible!" "The fries just won't taste the same after this =( You can find me at Wendys till Micky Dees gets their act together. Shame on you, McDonalds." "My family will not be eating any more McMuffins" "Your coffee is good but with your support of the NGLCC it's not that good. I'm gone and so is my MCD stock." "I will no longer eat at McDonalds." "Sodom and Gomorrah has infiltrated McDonalds. My family will boycott your establishment as long as the wrath of God hangs over your doors. Ronald, color us goodbye. Like Ford, your going to lose. You'll see. The only thing you'll be cooking is yourselves, for eternity." "McD's has seen the last of our family's food dollars because of this irresponsible embracing of the homosexual agenda. Stand up, Christians and others concerned about decency in America, and fight for good morals that are the underpinnings that made our country great. Tell everyone you know to take a stand against McD's. This restaurant is so ubiquitous that a REAL boycott throughout the country WILL make a difference!" "My grandchildren love McDonald's. It is their favorite restaurant, but we will not be going to McDonald's again until they stop supporting the homosexual movement!" "It seems just about 50 years ago the banner went up that said "over 1,000,000 million sold". That first million were sold in franchises owned in most cases by the traditional heads of the family, a man and a woman (mom and pop) stores. The traditional family contributed to the success of McDonald's. It now appears that McDonald's is happy to cater only to a very small percentage of the population while ignoring those that made the chain what it is today - the burgers have been good, the agenda you are on now is not." "My family has regularly eaten at McDonald's for the past 20 years. We will not be doing so from now on. We hope McDonald's sees the error in their choice and changes positions on the gay rights issue." "What about your commitment to the traditional American family, on whose back McDonald's has made it's fortune? People eat at McDonald's regardless of their sexual preference and McDonald's should remain neutral on this issue. My family will choose not to eat at McDonald's any longer and we have been regular customers for a very long time." "I think you shold get back to cookin in the kitchen and not cookin in the bedroom. What goes on in the bedroom should be kept between you, your partner and your God as long as it does not break any laws. Supporting this agenda just because you have that lifestyle and then becoming a board member is smacking of taking favors and bribes. I agree with all the people ahead of me that left you a message. Woe to those who call good evil and evil good. I and all my family & friends will be sure not to darken the doors of any McDonald's until such a time that you wake up and see the error of your ways." "No more McDonald's for my four kids! AND...no more Diet Coke from the drive-thru everyday for Mommy, either!" "Why risk your business favoring a disease-ridded lifestyle" "We're angry that McD's has chosen to promote the immoral gay and lesbian life styles. As a result we chose to join the boycott and spread the word about this to our friends and relatives." "I do not plan to eat at another McDonald's until it chooses to become neutral in the culture war. I will encourage my family and friends to follow suit." "I like McDonald's food products. You have made your choice so I have to choose another resterant. Sorry for your decision." "Looks like my visits to McDonalds are over. Big Breakfast was my favorite. Does Wendys or Burger King serve Breakfast?" "No more McDonalds for my family. Buy the beef cook it at home save money and gas too!" "So much for a family friendly environment. I will miss my apple pies, McChicken and diet coke combo. C'mon McD's...wake up and smell the coffee!" "Seems like the left wing loonies have gotten to McDonalds.they have become part of the secular progressive movement and its time to stop supporting the politically correct movement at mcDonalds" "My family and I will not be buying your product untill you change your position" "I worked at McDonalds while attending college in the 1970's. They were an honorable company back then with a sense of morality and decency in their top management. Sadly, those days are long gone. I have chosen to take my business elsewhere." "• "I'm so saddened by your stance. Your choice goes against the very "intolerance" that you claim not to support. Your decision tells me you are intolerant to my Christian beliefs." And you call yourself a family place??? We've eaten our last meal at McDonald's! This is something you should not be involved in. Your business is serving the public not being in this kind of ungodly organization."" "This is devastating. A company like McDonalds who has built its empire on "family", is now publically supporting an abomination. I probably spend $1000 a year on Mickey D's with all the traveling I do, and I have young children too. We will now go elsewhere!!!" "Told you we wouldn't be back ... and we won't ... put we are still praying for y'all." "Never again will I spend my money at Mcdonalds.... Never-Ever" "Told you we wouldn't be back ... and we won't ... put we are still praying for y'all." "I will no longer eat at McDonalds. My grandson and I visit McDonalds very often but it will no longer be a place that we visit." "I have stopped at my last McDonald. If you support homos, that is fine with me. I do not have to eat your burgers. Maybe there are enough homos around to keep your arches open." "McDonald's will not see me patronize them as long as they continue to support the gay-lesbian agenda." "My family and I will put our full resources to eating anywhere but McDonald's." "Its pathetic that McDdonalds would openly support such unatural behavior of such DEPRAVED minds as homosexuals.I'm sure micky D's was confronted by the homosexual agenda machine and CAVED IN TO IT! How about some equal treatment and donations for the NATURAL AMERICAN FAMILY! wHY NOT DONATE $20,000 to organizations that support natural marriage between a man and a woman?The natural family needs to stand with org,s that stay nuetral or promote the natural family in America. Unlike McDonalds , that sold there soul to a hate filled bigot gang of thugs that suffer from heterophobia! May GOD have mercy on them.several hundred of my closest friends won't when I pass out flyers this sunday morning Yours truly DeaconDon." "My grandchildren will be disappointed that I no longer will take them to eat at McDonald's; there favorite place! Please stay nuetral so they can enjoy McDonald's again." "We haven't been to McDs since we heard this!!!" "Since you intend to support the homosexual issue that is morally wrong, then I will be taking my family elsewhere from now on. Shame on your corporation!" "My grandchildren will be disappointed that I no longer will take them to eat at McDonald's; there favorite place! Please stay nuetral so they can enjoy McDonald's again." "NO MORE MACDONALDS!!!!! If you think Christians can't make a difference,GET READY." "Count our family with all the others who will no longer eat at any McDonald's, due to their position of promoting a homosexual lifestyle. It is not your responsibility as a restaurant to support an anti-family agenda. Especially when your customer base is mostly composed of families, your actions are truly disgraceful and reprehensible. May our merciful God lead you in the way He would have you go. This is not that way! ~~Shocked & Angry in NC" "I guess my Granddaughter will not be having any more big mac." "I usually eat at McD's 3-4 times per week, take my 14 neices and nephews and buy drinks daily. WE will no longer be going to McD's as long as they continue to support the gay lifestyle. It's been hard getting the kids to go elsewhere, but we do. Please consider changing your stance." "What a disappointment. You've been a family friend for 40 years. I hope you will decide to be one again soon! Until then I won't be seeing you." "I was appalled to hear that Mc Donald's has chosen this route,too. Wake up!!!You are going to lose alot of faithful customers.I love your iced coffee. ButI'll just find somewhere else to buy it until you decide to stop supporting a life style that is totally wrong.I will share this news with my friends,also." "McDonalds has made the mistake of taking sides against God. He is the One who declares homosexuality to be an abomination. He is the One who will judge homosexuals, if they do not repent, and those who support the homosexual agenda, if they do not repent. Homosexuality is not only a grievous sin, but it also undermines the family, which is the foundation of any free and moral nation. I will not eat at McDonald's, as long as they support this agenda." "I have missed eating at McDonald's since this began; but, there are so many other opportunities for dining out. Mmmmmm..... Actually, not missing too much!" "My family will no longer eat at McDonalds as long as it continues to support the unhealthy and extremely small homosexual cause and flaunt its arrogance at its largest customer base, the traditional family." "I can't understand why a fast food company needs to take a stand to promote and endorse homosexuality. I wonder when they last gave to the heterosexual community. I won't be back." "To undermine tradional families by supporting a destructive agenda is very foolish. Your position will cost you!! Good-bye McDonalds!!" "As for my family and I, we will choose to eat elsewhere until a change is made PUBLIC on where McDonald's stands on this." "Looks like you won't be around much longer. I'm going to Carls or Burger King!" "What a disappointment for an American icon to embrace such an anti-family, immoral stand. The 14 of us who make up my extended family will no longer be patronizing the double arches." "Homosexuality is not a lifestyle, anymore than left-handedness is a choice. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. You all make me sick." "I thought Mickey D's was a family oriented restaurant. Think about this: With gay marriages there will be no children born to it and families will become extinct. Then where will your restaurant chain be? BK will be my fast food of choice until you reconsider your stand on gay marriage." "As long as you continue to support the homosexual agenda, I will no longer eat at McDonalds." "What next, Adam & Steve in the children's happy meals? i WILL not condone the Corp. of Mc Donalds to force me to shop where it is not in lign with my believe in God and HIS scripture. No more Big Mac's for me, I personally enjoy Burger King and will be trading there from here on out" "My family of seven, ages 13 to 80, will no longer eat MacDonald's food until we learn that you have decided to no long support the homosexual community with time and money." "As long as your business caters to and supports the deviant and sick gay lifestyle you will not see any of my cash for your products. You have turned your backs on the decent folks who made your business what it is today. I hope you can live with the loss of income." "Cookie!" "SUPERSIZE THIS...GONE FOREVER!" "HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A FAMILY RESTAURANT AND SUPPORT SUCH A NON FAMILY ORGANIZATION. AS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WE WILL NOT BE HELPING YOU DO THIS AWFUL THING AGAINST OUR CREATORS DESIGN. I USUSALLY WENT TO MCDONALDS BECAUSE YOUR A TEENEY BIT CHEAPER THAN BURGER KING BUT I WOULD RATHER SPEND THAT TEENEY BIT MORE AND NOT SUPPORT SOMETHING I AM SOOO STRONGLY AGAINST. THE WOPPER TASTES BETTER ANYWAY.GOODBUY RONALD" "I grew up on Mac's and my daughters grew up on 'Happy Meals', but not their children. The Happy Meals and the Macs are gone for us. How sad that a large corporation could not see the bigger picture of life and the future generations. How sad, how sad." "McDonalds, I will not set foot in another one of your Stores, as long as you elect to support the Homosexual Movement lifestyle.Betty Helton" "Do you REALLY have to show your support for gays???? Come on! AreGay meals around the corner? Stop it!" "I thought Mr. Ellis was the GAY problem at McDonalds but apparently with the support of the CEO we find that Mcdonalds is a GAY organization and the American family (who made then what they are) is now not important to them. TOO big and TOO powerful (spelled money-your money America) so the family does not count anymore." "My family will not stop at any of your restaurants until you change your policy on support of the homosexual agenda." "McDONALDS WAS MY KIND OF PLACE, HAP HAP HAPPY PLACE......HAVE IT YOUR WAY HAVE IT YOUR WAY @ BURGER KING" "I will not buy anymore food from McDonalds until AFA lifts the ban." "I find this very disappointing, as I was just bragging about how the local McDonald's have the Ten Commandments posted. What a contridiction! What a shame for my mother who loves (or I should say loved) to take her grandchildren there." "I am thrugh with eating at McDonalds. Will not eat with your Mac Queers" "I noticed on your McDonald's website under "In the News" you neglected to mention your 2007 sponsorship of the NGLCC and parade. We are finished with McDonald's as a family. Too bad because I was really liking your iced mochas. Your restaurant has been a big part of our lives. One time my daughter and I drove from Seattle to the Southern Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland and stopped at every McDonald's along the way for something to eat or drink. It was one of our most memorable trips of all time. Glad I don't own stock in McDonald's. My advice to those who do: SELL." "I am sorry you have chosen to support the homosexual agenda. Until your policy changes, I will not be a party to your actions.I'm so glad my mom was a female, just as God planned it. From whom did you come?" "McDonalds is not an option anymore with our family. Sad that families have to boycott an All American Family Restaurant because they choose to support a sinful lifestyle that goes against this countrys values that it was founded on." "I will longer be taking my grandchildren to McDonald's & will encourage others to do the same!" "What a shame, the American hamburger down the drain...no more McDonald's here, bye." "I haven't eaten at McDonald's in at least 30 years. I'm not gay. I love my wife of the past 25 years. AFA and members are direct descendants of the hateful Salem witchhunters. They too shall pass. Good for McDonald's. Intolerance is old school fear. There's room for everyone in this Great America." "Altho we have eaten at McDonalds for many years I must say that we have decided to stop the practice. Any company that supports a policy against family values is not one I can support. From now on my business will go elsewhere." "Me and my family have stopped eating at any McDonalds b/c of their stance. It saddens me b/c now my son won't be able to enjoy the food he loves. I will continue to spread the word on you guys and will have my family and friends do the same and of coarse we will not eat there anymore" "We are a family of 5. We have McDonald's night every Wed. night and sometimes more. We give McDonald gift certificates to friends and family. NO MORE!!! It is all about protecting the family. You are destroying the fabric that holds America together by supporting the gay and lesbian agenda." "I will have to take my family to a family friendly fast food establishment. Sorry micky D's stay out of the culture war if you want to get my $$$" "Macs is ruining its reputation by anti family homosexual-activity endorsement. We may show your positions to others while we eat from your $menu. Hope you change. Best wishes." "I am saddened to withdraw my business - but I am doing so. Same sex needs to be as designations on bathroom doors, not in sexual relationships." "You absolutely have the best fast food breakfast that I will never eat again." "We, the public, Made McDonalds what they are now, and we, the public can put them out od business. I will stop purchasing McDonalds today. if you are with the American people, will you join in today?" "Well we watched the result when Ford Motor Company took the same position. If you continue this course then you believe that the results there was not tied to the boycott of the Christian community. I guess we will see, I hope your stockholders understand." "It seems that McDonalds has confused "being responsible" from being "socially responsible". Is Ronald really going to teach kids about gay/lesbian lifestyles. NOT IN MY EXTENDED FAMILY! BOYCOTT IN EFFECT." "I AM SORRY THAT YOU FEEL THIS WAY AND WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I WILL NOT BE EATING AT MCDONALDS ANY MORE. THERE ARE USUALLY ABOUT 10 OF US THAT EAT THERE.....PLUS MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS....YOU LOSE NOT US!!!!!!!!!" "Stop the Mac Attack on me! NO PERSECUTION NO CELEBRATION It's Windy's and Boogerking for me." "As long as you continue to support the homosexual movement, we will not be buying your product." "I thought McDonald's wanted to sell food. Now that they are promoting lifestyle, I will patronize your competitors." "From now on I will take my business elsewhere. I will tell my children that Ronald McDonald is not to be trusted. They have chosen to support an organization that supports pedophilia and all manner of anti family amoral destructive behavior." "My family and I will have no problem eating elsewhere." "Score a point for the vast heterosexual agenda!" "My family will no longer spend our hard earned dollars at McDonald's, due to your extremist, immoral agenda. I will not be surprised at all when your find your earnings dwindling. The majority of Americans do not support the homosexual agenda. I intend to get the word out to as many people as possible that McDonald's is no longer family friendly." "Mcdonald Corporation: I truly hope that you realize the message that God is sending to you through His people. It is a shame that you would be associated with a lifestyle that God abhors. Your decision to snub your nose at traditional family values and traditional marriage will not go unnoticed by my family and I believe many other families as well. No longer will you use my or my families hard earned money to support a lifestyle that is truly ungodly. I pray that you will turn from your wicked ways and seek the Lord Jesus." "It's sad to see a company like McDonald's get involved in the culture war like this. I'm sure Ray Kroc must be turning over in his grave right now. Well, we are a family of 6 and we will not be stopping there until McDonald's decides to change it's position and become neutral." "I personally love McDonald's food, but will boycott them. Theree are a lot of charities that would profit from the money they chose to give to the Homosexual agenda.. When we cut all of this political crap out we will do better as a country." "We have eaten McDonald's burgers for over 35 years but we will not patronize your restaurants any more due to your support of an abnormal and perverted lifestyle. You may currently be number one but don't count on it. Your support of the Gay community and their aberrant activities will ultimately affect most of the public's attitude toward your company." "I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN MCDONALDS LACK OF ABILITY TO TAKE A STAND. I WILL REALLY MISS THE ICED COFFEE BUT BURGER KING AND SONIC HAVE REALLY GOOD ONES TOO." "I do not need to frequent a restaurant that endorses a life style that is totally against the way of life that I believe America should have as an All American lifestyle." "McDonalds has spent a lot of money in remodeling and trying to appeal to the adult patrons as well as children. I am impressed with all of the family leaders who will not be bringing their children into McDonalds anymore. It will be even easier for us as adults to bypass McDonalds even for our 'favorite fries' until we hear confirmed reports from AFA that you have reconsidered your position and have decided you can no longer financially support the NGLCC nor any organization like it." "Well, you've chosen your own path to destruction. This is truly a sad day in America when one of the oldest and most wholesome companies decides to cater to the sodomists. Remember Sodom? God destroy that city because of it's homosexual offenses. Do you think you will escape God's judgement? Be assured you will not. I'm truly sorry for the consequences that will now be visited upon you. All we have asked is that you stop promoting the homosexual social agenda, not stop hiring them or in any other way treating them any differently than anyone else, but rather than choose wisely, as did WalMart, you have chosen foolishly. The majority of Americans just simply do not share your views regarding the homosexual social agenda and if all who truly believe this way stop eating at your resturants, you won't be in business very long, at least not in America. Please reconsider." "Our family will no longer go to McDonals. I am sure Ray Kroc would think this is a bunch of crock. I am sickened." "It is so sad to see the position that you choose to support the NGLCC. As a leader in the fast food restaurants, I do not understand how you can be so brazen in your choice. My family will choose not to support your restaurants and will do all in our power to spread the word to everyone we can via conversation, by phone, and by email. Please think again about how you are influencing the family lifesyles in our country." "I have no trouble not eating at McDonald's again because their food isn't good anyway. If I loved their food I wouln't go there again unless they stopped supporting gays." "In my 60 years, I have taken my children, grandchildren to McD's for the Happy Meal and playscape. I know what you are doing;you think it will bring more business, but on the larger scale of life, you are demeaning the wholesome family (father,mother,children). It is disturbing that you would use children to advance your agenda. You will pay for this in the end. I do believe you will lose business; you've certainly lost mine and my 18 grandchildren as customers. Apparently, the bulk of McDonald's upper echelon is not Christian. The Bible is definitely against practicing homosexuality. Christians do not hate homosexuals, they hate the lifestyle...it's filthy and disease-causing. Plus, it promotes AIDS, which is spread to innocent people who are taken in. I truly hope someone has an epiphany and comes to their senses." "Sadlym Mickey D's seen the last of me. My friends and family have enjoyed Big Macs for at least 39 years, but unless the restaurant OPENLY changes it's stance on homosexuality, we have decided there are far too many other places to dine. We will NOT support McD's contributions to the gay rights movement." "Not that you seem to care, but we will not set foot in your place again!!" "You were the first fast-food establishment that I enjoyed as a child. I am PROUD to say I will NEVER eat your food ever again. I am totally disappointed!!" "What happened to family values and McDonald's being for the kids? You have lost my business and I will spread the word." "Man I love McDonald's fries. Keep up the good work" "Disgusting, never again will I dine at any of your establishments!" "What are you thinking?? Watch your stock drop like a rock as the word gets out. I don't think Ray would have done what your board has done. You should have stayed neutral in the culture wars. Now you will have the stockholders to answer to. Get ready. Ford and P and G have gotten the picture. Our children already have a hostile world to navigate without adding to the pressures. We'll eat elsewhere." "I am very dissapointed that you have made that lifestyle a priority with McDonalds. We will not be eating there if that is your choice." "I've eaten my last Big Mac! I just don't understand a corporation like McDonald's - this is almost un-American. It certainly is unChristian!" "One man sodomizing another is your idea of deversification?? How sad that you would go against the morals set forth in the Bible. You are on my list of companies to no longer do business with." "I am sorely disappointed in your blatant disregard for family values and simple decency as evidenced by your decision to support sodomy and lesbianism. Your decision is utterly defective in view of family, moral, and national interests and values. If I have anything to do with it, your decision will also prove to be utterly defectgive from a business perspective as well. Your employees won't see my family any more unless they see us as we pass by on our way to Wendy's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Whataburger...you get the idea, I trust. Your sorry decision has tarnished a reputable and wholesome corporate name--a tarnish that may never be removed. Shame on you, McDonald's! --Dub McClish" "I cannot in good faith take my grandchildren to a McDonald's restaurant because of there support of the gay community. That is not something I want to teach my grandchildren. Homosexuality is wrong and that is plane and simple. Shame on you McDonald's!! You will not be getting any money from me and I will be sure to spread the word to everyone I know." "We have seven children ranging in ages from 25 to 2. We have been loyal to McDonald's for many years. We have just bought our last "Happy Meal". If McDonald's cannot promote family values, we can no longer promote McDonald's" "It's too bad that McDonald's is supporting the gay and lesbian agenda. I will not be coming to McDonald's until you have changed your policy on this subject." "McDonalds: The struggles you have regarding the unhealthy food selections, will be very small in comparison to the unfortuante choice you have made regarding the " ga-,Lesb---" agenda. You will suffer far more consequences financially for this choice than any before. I will not enter your stores ever again." "God's word is truth and I am disappointed that your company, an American family resturant chooses to be against God's word. What can we say? Unfortunately, we will not be patronizing your resturant until this is stopped!" "I can't believe that McDonal's, who caters to families with children, would openly "push" homosexuality. I'm passing along this information to my friends and I'm sure a good number of them will no longer support McDaonald's in any way, shape or form. Other fast food places will be our family's choice from now on........" "To the Corporation of McDonalds, My name is Ron Schansema and I was once a loyal patron of yours. Since I have learned that you arebacking the gay agenda gay and all that it stands for I and all the Tribal members I can talk to about it will no longer buy from you fast food esablishment. I can tell you that we have over 30 thousand members in our tribe and I am sure that they will be more than happy to boycott your stores as well. As well as many other tribes in the State I live in that I get the message to as well. Until you change your immoral veiws on backing the homosexual agenda." "Never in a million years did I ever think that one day McDonald's Corporation would ever make a decision to turn their back on the taditional American family, and decide that chasing the support of only 3% of the general population would be more important than promoting healthy family values. I am shocked and disappointed. Our family will no longer utlilize McDonald's as our choice for guick foods. I believe Wendys and Burger King still support traditional family values and will welcome our support." "No more Big Mac's until you stick with the purpose for which youy exist...selling good food to make a profit. HOw dare you spend customer's and investor's money for controversial social issues!" "I will tell everyone I know not to support mcdonalds because they are not worthy of spending your dollars since they support such immoral lifestyles." "What does sexual identity have to do with your food? You're a business ... not a social club or fraternity. I will be eating elsewhere..." "I am sad and disappointed because my kids love McDonalds. If is unfortunate that I have to explain to them why we enjoy your product or service. Our family will not be back unless you change your stance in this culture war." "McDonald's, I am so disappointed to hear that you are supporting the homosexual agenda.McDonalds has always been so pro-family---until now. I'm disappointed and will tell people that I know not to buy from you anymore until your position changes." "No more McDonald's for my family. Never again!" "This is truly a sad day when a business that serves families with children that love a Happy Meal and will stoop to such a low level as to undermine the morality of our children. I hope you reconsider your stand for the sake of the children and their families that have been so loyal to you through the years. As we all know it only takes an immoral stand such as this to tear down all the good that you have accomplished through the years. May God help you to re-evaluate such a poor choice!" "SO disappointed that McDonald's cares more about an agenda than the voice of the majority of their patrons. Maybe their "agenda" will be able to support them, because this patron will not until they change their stand." "It is too bad that you are afraid to stand up to for what is right. When people stop supporting you, you will see how your actions effect people with morals and values, which evidently you don't have." "Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man. Though McDonald's provides clean food for customers, their supports for homosexuality evidences that they are defiled." "Are you also going to support open activity between man and beast? You are helping to open the door to bestiality, sex with children, plural homosexual marriages and the list goes on! McDonalds is in Star Wars terms "turning to the dark side!" You've lost more than my money, you've lost my respect." "sorry to leave your restaurant because of your stand; it was a daily breakfast stop to work." "life is about choses.mcdonald's has made theirs.my family and i will now make ours.we will not go back to mcdonald's.so sad." "We only enjoyed the breakfast and quite often, but never again. We will urge our many friends to do the same." "It's too bad that Mc Donald's thinks that supporting homosexuality is being socially responsible. Your not a family friendly company anymore." "Based on their support of the homosexual agenda, I and my family will no longer eat at McDonalds." "My family and I will not be patronizing McDonalds with the money God blesses me with, again. McDonalds has chosen the "god" they will serve and they have chosen the price they want to pay for their "success"." "How could you take something that was intended to be good for kids and make something so evil out of it. I am another that will not dart your doors or my kids or grandkids. God must be very disappointed when He looks down from Heaven and see what you have done to his children. Instead of standing for moral values you stand for evil and corruption. Whether you realize it or not God Is In Control and He will bring you down!!" "How sad that a "family" restaurant has no respect for the family, and particularly for the children they pretend to serve. Four generations of our family are very disappointed in McDonald's choosing one group of people over others. Their stand for homosexuality says what they really value. It's not us, the customers." "I am really very disappointd in McDonalds. Always thought was a safe place for families but now am convinced not." "How sad that formerly "family" restaurant has decided to take sides. We will NOT be eating at McDonalds until you reverse your policy!" "I feel that to alter the long held institution of marriage to accomodate other life styles shows a real lack of sound judgment. What kind of activity will you sponsor next, and what other institution will suffer the demise of its definition. Marriage is between a man and a women. Relationships between other genders or species need to be called something other than marriage." "My Family and I have not been to McD since they gave support a few weeks ago WE WILL NOT GO TO MCD UNTIL THEY WITHDRAW SUPPORT." "I will use my pocket book to do my talking by purposely going to your rivals to eat than to support your organization. If your going to push on me an agenda that I do not believe in. I will not give you money by purchasing any of your services to support the undermining of my beliefs and what I believe to be right" "You have lost my business for some time. Chic-filet for me. Surely common sense will make you see the error of your decision to support a life style that shortens it. Why woould good common citizens opposes your decision? Chris" "I always thought that McDonalds was a family type restaurant but that can't be if you support immoral lifestyles. I won't be back to McDonalds a long as you support the homesexual lifestyle. An immoral society preceded Romes fall, will the USA be next?" "I refuse to patronize any business that support and promotes the homosexual agenda. I already have--and will continue--to inform family, friends, and coworkers about McDonald's blatant disregard for morality." "You would think McDonald's would promote family values ... I always thought there was something peculiar about Ronald." "You've made a giant McBlunder on this one. Not one more dollar from me or my 6 kids. Hopefully homosexuals will figure out a way to reproduce and fill up your restaurants again." "Our family will not be supporting McDonalds as long as they choose to support the homosexual agenda." "I am very sorry that an icon of American business would choose to take this stand against family values. No more big macs for my family." "You are a big disappointment. No more McD for me,or my family and friends if I can help it. I will tell all. Ford motor Co. tried this and look ay them now. You want to take McD's down this road?????" "You will not have me or any of my family and friends a customers any more if you do not change your attitude supporting gays. Be neitral or go away." "You are a big disappointment. No more McD for me,or my family and friends if I can help it. I will tell all. Ford motor Co. tried this and look ay them now. You want to take McD's down this road?????" "Absolutely inexcusable that an establishment which caters mainly to families should put its support behind anti-family organizations. McDonald's, why do you have to get involved in social issues at all? I think that Ray Kroc, your founder, would be outraged and appalled, as millions of us are. You've lost my business." "I will not eat at McDonald's and will ask everyone I talk with to please stop ptronizing McDonald's too. My father was a manager at MaDonads'. I pray your deceison will be reversed soon. NO MORE McDonalds' for my grands." "I used to be a consistent customer of McDonalds but no more until they stop supporting activist gay groups!" "I was just in one of your establistments today and can assure you that it will be my last visit as long as you offer support to homosexuals. I will also see to it that none of my family members and friends frequent any of your restruants." "This is just one more example of the "numbing down" of America. It's not enough that McDonald's has contributed greatly to childhood obesity in America, now it is a conspirator in its spiritual downfall as well. As a Christian, I am commanded to love all created in God's image, but to abhor the sinful path an individual might choose to follow and the acts thereby committed. Now the only people without protection appear to be Christians. We are considered narrow-minded radicals today, while the USA's National Anthem seems to have been changed to "Anything Goes." I will urge my children and grandchildren to boycott McDonald's, as I plan to do." "I'm very sorry to here that McDonalds supports the gay agenda. It was a great American restaurant, good for the whole family. I can't believe that they would rather support the 2% that makes up the faggots and not the 98% of the normal people" "Oh McDonald's-it was not the Gay community that made you what you are today,it was the moral majority. We believed in your image as the "Family place". We will not return until you reconsider the stand you have taken against American families." "Goodby McDonald's! Your Gay/lesbian position is destructive to the family and the American way of life." ""I am so very disappointed in McDonald's support for homosexuality. There are plenty of fast food restaurants in the area that have NOT taken this stand that harms traditional families. I can not support your restaurant as long as your support for this agenda continues. Please reconsider what your family oriented company supports."" "will not buy anything at MickyD's-and push others to do the same- can't believe the Comp. can support the gay life style our kids are happy to stay away too!" "We and my family will never eat at the place again. No to spend a penny which will go to support the abnormal activity of human being. I like to assure my descendents keep living in a moral world and understanding the the real meaning of FAMILY VALUE." "Everyone needs to stay busy keeping this one going to alert everyone in their address book of your/McDonald's promoting homosexuality. Parents and grandparents, especially, need to promote this boycott." "I'm ashamed that my first job was at McDonald's in 1970. You've changed so much as a corporation and supporting homosexuality has lost my patronage. Will miss my Big Mac but until you wake up to God's leading, it's bye-bye!" "As a family of nine, we spend a good bit when we eat out. We will no longer we eating at McDonalds, but will research and purposely choose your greateat competitor and will spend our money there. But we will not stop there. We will speak loud and clear to all our friends and families and will spend extra time and money to boycott McDonalds. Please stay neutral in this area, for the sake of your profits!!!" "America was founded by Christians and on the principles of the Bible which states that homosexuality against God, marriage is between a man & a woman. I will definitely think twice before spending my money at McDonald's." "You've fed us lots of stuff that's not real good for us anyway, and now you want to support perversion and try to shove that down our throats...See ya!" "We've been customers since your original'you deserve a break today' commercial. But until you decide to remain neutral instead of promoting the gay/lesbian agenda, we will no longer support your business. I'm sure your competitors will be happy to accommodate our very large family's needs." "This is the second time I've put the pen to the paper concerning your queer actions. Even if you were to change your bias, I will not be back as a customer. I'm adding you to the list along with Ford, Proctor & Gamble and possibly GM. What's wrong with you guys anyway? I guess you love throwing business away. See ya." "mcdonalds is suppose to sell food, not promote homosexual life styles. and support it with consumers money." "We have not been to McDonald's since this came out two months ago. What initially became a stand for family and against homosexuality has also become healthier bodies for my family! My husband and I don't miss it; the kids ask why we don't go there anymore-but we can't even tell them, because we don't want to corrupt their innocent minds until they're old enough to understand. This is what McDonald's has done. There are so many other choices out there like Subway that promote healthy eating, and not perverse lifestyles." "If McDonald's is supporting anything, it is true justice for all citizens. There ARE other sins that affect our lives, our families and our nation: divorces, for example, and the multiple marriages that follow them. Why do we not boycott any restaurant that will welcome and serve divorced people? Or why not boycott any company that will not speak out about the heinousness of divorce? Maybe that is too close to home for most of us. . . ." "McDonalds has been a great place to take my grandchildren, but I won't take them there any more. I consider that McDonald's has taken a stand openly supportive of gays instead of remaining neutral. So I am taking a stand against McDonald's." "I am disappointed that MacDonald's is supporting a CHOICE in lifestyle rather than the God-ordained nuclear family. I will choose to take my kindergarten classroom field trips, and my own children to Burger King or Chick-Fil-A, which does support the nuclear family (which is probably your bread and butter!). I hope you change your mind, instead of going the way of Ford, and losing customers and sales! Wake up, and support US instead! Then we will gladly come back. IS THIS CLEAR ENOUGH????" "At this point, I don't care if they do choose to reverse their position. I'm done with McDonalds!!!" "I always stop by McDonald's every time I go to town to do my shopping. I sincerely hope the company will reconsider their ill-advised position. For now, I will eat across the street. Take note, McDonald's,I bought a Toyota instead of a Ford!" "I'm very disgusted at the fact that McDonald's, where I used to take my sons when they were little boys, is supporting the gay community. I won't eat at McDonald's ever again, unless they change what and who they're supporting. There are plenty of other fast food restaurants to go to. I pray God will enlight you before it's too late." "I can and will take my money to someone who isn't trying to tell me what to think or believe or what I can teach my children and grandchildren. We are Christians and have as much right for our lifestyle to be respected as anyone else." "I'm so sorry to see that you cannot tell the difference between moral and immoral behavior.What a disgrace you have become to America's children.I have spent my fast food time between Wendy's and MacDonalds.It's all Wendy's from now on!!" ""I pledge to not patronize McDonald's as long as they support and donate to NGLCC"" "We will no longer be patronizing any of your establishments since you have refuse to stay neutral in the culture wars." "My family has not been back to McDonalds since we heard about your support of the homosexual agenda. I do not care who McDonalds serves at their restaurants but I do care where you throw your support money from the benefit of my patronage. I think it is a shame especially considering the Ronald McDonald house does some wonderful things. You could choose to support other neutral agencies like this but you had to pick a controversial group. I hope you change your mind but if not, you've seen the last of my support and I will continue to encourage others to make the same decisions as myself." "Mckee-Dees has been a household institution for us. I'm sorry to say not anymore. :(" "Being "diverse" does not mean you have to send money to support the gay lifestyle. How much of your profits go to supporting the christian lifestyle?" "We're McDone with McDonalds!" "This is not the family type eatery that you repute to be. You have went to far here. Choice...I choose to eat elsewhere." "I too belive in some types of diversity. That is why we will be eating at any restaurant that promotes traditional family values which will no longer be McDonald's." "I am sadden that our family and and our grandchildren will no longer be able to eat at McDonalds." "What's next? Support for the Man-Boy Love Association! This shall not stand!" "I also have eaten my last Big Mac until your policy changes." "We will no longer support McDonald's" "You made your choice, our families and friends will make our choice not to buy your products. It's a Moral choice I can live with. Hello Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, etc." "Very disappointed. I will no longer be stopping at MD's until you choose to support family." "I hope you will reconsider your position of promoting the homosexual agenda. At that time I will be free to patronize the local McDonald's." "It's just as easy to become last as it is to be first. I will certainly ask everyone I know , not to eat at McDonalds. There are many places around that serves better food. ADIOS MC Donalds" "McDonalds is just another corporation that thinks that they can tell us how to live and then expect us to still use their services, well not this family. I will not support any company that supports this lifestyle, tells me I should too and turns around and calls me a bigot for not sharing their oppinions. We have a constitutional right and responsibily in my humble opinion to practice our religion and I will not allow this company or this group of activists to ever change that." "I will be taking my business to Buger King." "Haven't eaten at Mickie D's since hearing this news and we won't. KFC has better chicken wraps anyway!" "I will no longer support McDonalds and I will tell all my friends to avoid McDonalds." "This really sickens me.I always thought McDonalds was a family restaurant.I will not be going to anymore McDonald's Restaurants, nor will any of my family.The Lord destroyed Soddom and Gomorrah, two cities named in the bible because both towns were openly practicing this type of lifestyle; Go and read God's word and you will see for yourself.God will now have to apologize to Soddom and Gomorrah for destroying these two cities and everyone in them if he is going to allow this type of lifestyle to be carried on in the united states...." "McDonalds is out of touch with the majority of Americans" "I will miss the food at Mcdonalds. I cannot support a fast food chain that supports an immmoral lifestyle." "McDonalds Corp. I am sorry about your helping the "Gay"society.My belief is from the Bible in Romans one saying homosexuality is a sin. I feel hate the sin but love the sinner. Applies to how I feel. Please think this over, as you will loose customers. Thank you, Pam Eschenroeder" "I'm appalled that a restaurant which has always been pro-family has taken this turn toward Godlessness and evil. Nobody in my household will dine there until this abomination is corrected." "Very disappointed in your decision to support the homosexual agenda. I will not be bringing my grand daughter to McDonalds again." "As a former employee while in high school and college, I am deeply saddened that McDonald's has chosen to promote the homosexual lifestyle. Despite my years of working and dining at McDonald's, you no longer have the business of myself or my family. There are many other restaurants that support traditional values, and you will find us there. What a shame that you have taken such a stance against the majority of your business base." "Apparently McDonald's does not want our business any more. I will take all of my grandchildren - and my husband and myself - to any other restaurant that still supports family values. Who would have imagined that one of the most popular family restaurants would do something that would hurt their business so badly. I'm just glad I'm not a stockholder. Oh, and I dare the McDonald's people to advertise that good ol' Ronnie McDonnie is gay." "I AM BRINGING THIS INFORMATION TO THE CLOSEST 5 MCDONALDS AND MY ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. ACTION = RESULTS MY $$ WILL NEVER FUND GAY/LESBIAN AND MY VOICE WILL ALSO BE HEARD. I WILL NOT SPEND 1 PENNY AGAIN AT MCDONALDS" "I cannot in good conscience continue to buy from McDonald's as I believe this would help support a lifestyle to which I am opposed. Love the people, oppose the lifestyle." ""I can not believe a Company like McDonald's, who has been ranked as one of the most well known family restaurants supporting good values, would openly endorse issues of choices in sexual preference! I find it painful to think how big companies are jumping at the chance to be politically correct and not morally sound."" "I am finished with MacDonald's due to your support of the homosexual agenda. Bad enough you support illegal aliens, but now you have crossed the line. Wendy's, Burger King, here we come !!" "I have liked McDonald's since I was a kid but I don't think I can support them any longer. With the economy like it is, I don't think any business can afford a boycott but apparently they must think they can weather the economic storm. Anyhow, Sonic burgers and prices are better." "It is very bad sign when an icon such as McDonald's chooses to align itself with a way of life that is not in the best interest of our children. I hope you reconsider the stand you are taking." "We have eaten at McDonald's several times a week. Now I have to tell my austistic son he has to eat cheeseburgers somewhere else! Your choosing to actively support the gay agenda undermines basic family values. Please rethink your choice to support a group that represents less than 5% of America and agressively tries to tear down the values of a large portion of America in their quest to be accepted." "I don't ask you to mnistreat homosexuals, but since you insist on pushing their agenda (this has nothing to do with diversity!) financially and otherwise, I refuse to support you with my money. I will not eat at McDonald's any more until you pull back your support of this destructive cause." "I am highly disappointed in McDonald's. What a disgraceful cop out. It is one thing to support all people, it is totally another to alienate HUGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, by taking the high road and giving in to what 'might' be the politically correct FAD of today. What are they going to do next, cater to aliens?" "Because McDonald's has chosen to continue strong support of the NGLLC, I am very disappointed because you should be pro-family and you choose not to be. There are plenty of choices in food venues and I will take my business somewhere else as long as you maintain this position. I will give even more business to Chick Fila and Wendy's - they both have breakfast too." "I think it's absolutely appauling that a "family oriented" company like McDonald's would have the audacity to support such a harmful way of life. Not only is it completely against God, but it is one of the top reasons for the destruction of the traditional family. I will pray for the company, but until they reconsider their position and remain neutral in this issue, my family, friends, church and I will no longer support/eat at McDonald's. This is truly a sad day. Wake up before it's too late!" "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special interests have upset us! The Burger King will be taking our orders from now on. We will not be supportive of your establishmens." "Giving the full weight of your corporation to promotion of the gay agenda, including homosexual marriage, is an outrage and is NOT taking a neutral position in our world. As a result, my family will no longer darken your doorstep and will take our business elsewhere." "The taste of McDonald's food has just become nasty to me. I refuse to give you another penny to support that unGodly lifestyle. Your (now known) menu will not be shoved down my throat. REMEMBER SODOM/GOMORRAH...God's judgement has not/will not change despite MAN's new law. Repent and get saved all of you!" "My family will not be supporting your business. Please change your mind and do what is right." "McDonalds offers itself as a family resturant, complete with play areas and Happy Meals for our kids, then it turns around and backs the gay lifestyle that destroys those same families/children. It's a very competitive world out there and it is soooo easy to take our money elsewhere. I'd just as soon walk into a sex shop than a McDonalds right now, deep down they are supporting the exact same type of thing. Both are anti- family, anti- Christian and against what the Bible teaches. Shame on McDonalds and Ford and any other company that supports such filth!! Note to everyone..... watch their $$$bottom$$$ line." "Do you really believe that family friendly can co-exist with backing the gay agenda? If so, you are crazy. Just watch your bottom line bottom out." "Love the sinner but hate the sin - don't promote it." "What a sad day for McDonald's and America. I will no longer go to McDonald's when they are supporting a homosexual agenda and a lifestyle which is both immoral and dangerous. Homosexual can be delivered from their sin. I shall pray for them." "Please don't misunderstand, I am not asking you to discriminate. I am saying that homosexuality is a sin and your support of rights based upon that sin causes my family to also make a choice. Our choice has been to give our business to others for the last couple of months as we were made aware of your position." "I will pray mercy for the souls of the people from McDonalds. They cannot go against God's ways and remain financially under His blessings. I also pray that families, especially Christian families will teach their children to take a firm, but loving stand by how they handle this." "Like all these other former patrons, I have been a patron of your establishment. I, too, love Big macs, and I, too, have children who love to eat there, but I, too, will not support your choice to stand for a deviant lifestyle. So long!" "I visit (used to) McDonald's every Wed. morning. Not anymore until I know that they are not supporting Gay & Lesbian movements." "We are now boycotting McDonalds. This is not about fairness. It is not about equality. It is about a corporate giant throwing its weight behind a group of people who are seeking to force acceptance of a divergent and socially destructive lifestyle on the rest of society. McDonalds' action is the epitome of corporate irresponsibility, and I refuse to support it." "i totally object to your all out support of the homosexual adgenda, therefore i won't be supporting you in any way until you see the error of your ways, and stay neutral in this cultural battle." "We used to stop at McDonalds several times a day as we traveled, but no more. What a shame that our children have to grow up in such a Godless country." "I will not support an establishmnet that supports NONE CHRISTIAN values, the Bible is very clear that a marriage is to be between a man and a women and also if God did not want this to be so He would haven't told Noah to save one of each male and female. How sad the for McDonalds to let one person in high authority ruin an whole corporation with his sinful lifestyle." "McDonalds Corporate Heads, you have been derailed and duped. There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death. The annual stock holders meeting may prove it so." "You guys let me down, I am sorry it has come to this, but my family is done with McDonald's" "oops...guess i'd better dump my Micky D stock!" "Remember Sodom and Gomorrah. i am out of here forever. no more mcdonalds for me" "I will not be taking my precious grandchildren to McDonald's as long as you support the gay agenda. Swal" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Your business is based on children, you are supporting groups that do not have children. Your head appears to be where you need a belly-button window to see where you're going. You have lost our family's business, for sure." "I heard of this on the Glenn Beck program about a month ago. I have told EVEREYONE I know about this. I have not visited a McDonald's since, and I never will. Your stockholders are not going to care for the results of your unwise decision. Arby's and Hardee's have a new and faithful customer!" "If I wanted to give money to the GLBT organizations I would, but I don't because I don't support them. I will not have my money go through McDonalds to help fund a cause that is destroying the youth of America. Looks like BK will be getting our business from now on." "Have you considered your local dealers that do not agree with the position you are taking." "No more McDonalds meals or snacks for my family.All my friends feel the same. BOO Mcdonalds" "How sad. McDonald's has now lost my family as customers. Enjoy your new friends....." "Financially speaking... McDonald's is forfeiting generations of discretionary income being spent at their food chain. The cost of losing generations should be recalculated." "My son isn't happy that we won't be eating at McDonalds anymore. It turns my stomach to think where the money goes that we use to pay for Big Macs and fries. You are suppose to be a FAMILY oriented place of business, but instead you've chosen to change that and make it a corrupt corporation. We actually stopped going to McDonalds a long time ago because of your involvement with the gay lifestyle, but was hoping that would change. Well, it didn't and neither will we. There are other places just as good if not BETTER than McDonalds to eat at. We chose Wendy's today!! Actually, our SON chose Wendy's. Even HE knows right from wrong." "As a mom and grandma, I will no longer supoort your restaurant. I support family values and it appears your corporation no longer does." "Your support of NGLCC terminates my support of McDonald's" "WE HAVE TAKEN OUR BUSINESS TO ANY OF THE COMPETITORS WHO ARE NOT OPENLY ADVOCATING FOR THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA." "As adults we can easily bypass McDonalds to support your competitors who do not brazenly support an immoral lifestyle. As parents we will carefully explain to our children that Ronald McDonald is no longer a friend but someone to stay away from. Truly unfortunate." "It is truly a sad day when an icon such as McDonald's chooses to align itself with a way of life that is not in the best interest of our children. I hope you reconsider the stand you are taking for the sake of our children!" "We have been in McDonald's for the LAST time!" "I am so very disappointed in McDonald's support for homosexuality. There are plenty of fast food restaurants in the area that have NOT taken this stand that harms traditional families. I can not support your restaurant as long as your support for this adgenda continues. Please reconsider what your family oriented company supports." "I will make every effort to see that none of my children and grandchildren eat at McDonalds as long as they follow their present path!" "Too bad McDonald's doesn't care about the average American family, so this American family will not be going back to McDonald's." "I cannot understand why corporations think they can show bias toward one group of Americans over another and not suffer the consequences. We can still choose where we spend our money as P &G and Ford have discovered. WalMart heard what we were saying and they backed off. It might be wise for you to do the same." "McDonalds has been like a second home to my children and my grandchildren. But no more!" "I thought McDonald's wanted to sell food. Now that they are promoting lifestyle, I will patronize Burger King. Long live the Whopper!" "McDonalds has finally lost their minds. I hope that less than 2% of the country can support your life style from now on. I and my family and my church and friends will be going almost anywhere else to get a hamburger. Best of luck with your new friends." "What a sad time for McDonald's. My family and friends will no longer support your establishments." "I cannot understand why corporations think they can show bias toward one group of Americans over another and not suffer the consequences. We can still choose where we spend our money as P &G and Ford have discovered. WalMart heard what we were saying and they backed off. It might be wise for you to do the same." "You have lost my business!" "I will not buy anything at McDonald's until they repent." "As a mom of six kids, myself and my entire family will no longer visit McDonald's. We are very frequent customers, and enjoy many items McDonald's offers. However, we are much more in support of family values and believe McDonald's as a influential corporation must remain neutral in this issue. Good thing we have other choices - Wendy's, Burger King..." "My school has a McDonald's in walking distance that is a big hangout for children and teens. I am a youth minister and I plan to encourage our youth group to stand up for their Catholic faith by boycotting a business that uses it's money to offend God and bring more suffering upon humanity by promoting immoral behavior that leads to the spread of aids and other health problems. Mc Donald's is showing no compassion for the homosexual who suffers from an identity crisis. The Truth is the only thing that can set a person free! No more McDonald's!!!" "Wendy's here I come...and Wendy's now serves breakfast. See ya Ronald...sorry Ray." "We will never eat at another McDonald's Restaurant as long as McDonald's agressively supports the Gay and Lesbian Agenda." "I will make sure my family no longer comes to McDonalds. There are many other choices." "I am saddened to hear this and will not support a company who blatantly does not support tradtional families values. There are plenty of choices to spend my families money." "I have always thought of McDonald's as a family restaurant. Until you choose to cease to support gay rights we will not be in line at your drive thru. We will take our business elsewhere. I hope enough people choose to take the same action reducing your burger purchases by the billions. We are hopeful you will change your mind on this issue." "No more McDonalds for me. I only pity Ray and his wife if they would ever know Mc Donalds has come to this!!!" "McDonald's is leading our country down a very destructive road. Without a strong family-one man, one woman, & children if granted-our country will disintigrate at a very fast rate." "Why not support the pedophile agenda, too? Hello, Burger King!" "I will not visit until you change your mind. What you are doing is wrong" "I have 11 grandchren and I can assure McDonald's that I have bought my last McDonald's product for me or my grandchildren" "I'm a tire sales rep. for south central Mo. and frequented McDonald's almost daily, however, since learning of McDonald's position promoting Homosexual lifestyles I have not been back. I can easily go elsewhere!" "I have eaten at McDonald's since its inception but that will no longer be the case unless you remove your sponsorship of homosexuals." "Filth cannot be justified. Noen of my family will support perverson, or those who support such filth." "I figure my family has spent about $2000 at McDonald's restaurants every year. Not anymore. The fast food industry is so competitive, I can get pretty much the same food at Burger King, Wendy's and Jack-In-The-Box for the same price. This will be the world's easiest boycott! I will have no problem convincing my friends and family to do the same. Clayton Browse" "Our family has spent over 2 thousand dollars at McDonald's. They will no longer get out business. Goodbye Happy Meals." "I am sad to see the stand you are taking for gays,you should remain nuteral or support ways of life. i will not spend another penny at McDees andI will encourage everyone I see to follow me." "Weekly I eat at McDonald's for convenience. I will now go out of my way to NOT SUPPORT your business because you have gone OUT OF YOUR WAY to support a lifestyle I do not support." "Your job is to serve the hungry public and not get involved in such matters. You are now off limits for our family." "I and my six children have already stopped eating at McDonalds. We will not patronize a corporation that supports sinful, anti-family behavior." "I am so sadden to see what the world has come to. Can you imagine what our Creator is feeling? Mickey D's is off limits to my family for sure! Look out Burger King, your stock is going to sky rocket." "i will not be eating at you place of business anymore and i,m e-mailing this to all my friends." "I am not against homosexuals, I am against companies that publicly promote homosexuality. You could have remained neutral. Sorry, In and Out has my business now." "Not with our families money do you support the Gays. Do you hear us?????? Don't care you say, FAREWELL FOE EVER THEN." "Please don't promote the homosexual agenda at the expense of young lives." "I am so thankful they put a Jack in the Box next to the McDonalds I always ATE at. Whoppers are gonna suffice too!" "There are plenty of alternative fast food places to eat at, which will get our business as we wait to hear if McDonald's will be changing their views on this disappointing action! .... from disappointed former patrons" "As a person that drives for a living I find that I frequent McDonald establishments quite regularly. Since I completely disapprove of McDonalds using my money for this purpose, YOU HAVE JUST LOST A COSTOMER until this problem is corrected." "I'm so saddened by your stance. Your choice goes against the very "intolerance" that you claim not to support. Your decision tells me you are intolerant to my Christian beliefs." "My family of six regularly dines at McDonald's, as I did growing up on their hamburgers. However, with the direction that McDonald's management has chosen I will not patronize them with my dollars to support a lifestyle that I do not support." "Since you are promoting alternative lifestyles there are many alternative eating places besides McDonalds to stop at in the future." "Anything for a buck. I don't like you guys anyway, now I'll have a better reason not to eat your greasy fries. Just remember, good wins over evil." ""Shame on you McDonalds! America was founded on Godly principles supporting the sacred marriage of a husband and wife. Our family will no longer support a corporation who values a homosexual political agenda."" "So long Mickey D'S ! It's outrageous that you feel it necessary to promote an agenda such as homosexual marriage, and, in turn, ultimately force a depraved lifestyle on innocent children. Rest assured you will learn that millions do not share your sordid view as to what a family environment means." "Donate $20,000 for membership on the NGLCC board of Directors. You must think of it as a much higher donation. All it takes is 2000 families who spend an average of $10 to double your cost to join. $10 is not much and there are well more than 2000 very unhappy customers with McDonald's. Do the math!! Is it worth taking sides like this? Please stay neutral." "SHAME on Mickie D's. This is Not about the Homosexual employee's but about McDonald's standing for a chosen lifestyle that KILLS the people that choose this lifestyle. My Bible says "Woe unto those who say evil is good and good is evil". The Lord, God will judge someday. Eternity is a very long time regardless if you choose to except Jesus Christ or to reject Jesus and his teachings. Ford endorsed into the homosexual agenda and their stock has been in decline since then. Also Proctor & Gamble, has also signed on, I look for McDonald's stock to also drop. I know we will no longer be stopping in. Our children like the happy meals. I prefer a Whopper the children will also love the Whopper! We already pray for everyone that has been seduced into this devilish lifestyle, we will add McDonald's to the list with Proctor & Gamble and Ford. God will not be mocked, repent of your sins and turn the other direction. The choice is yours." "I will no longer support McDonald's in anyway. This is truely a disappointing action and not one that is representive of our American values." "I am disappointed in the insensitivity of McDonald's corporation toward family values. I love Big Macs, but the Whopper gets my vote from now on until McDonalds stops supporting this agenda." "An American Icon has betrayed us again..We can't even trust our children with Ronald anymore..Think about that...McDonald's has gone totally SICKO and we would not buy there if it was the only place in town..You can take that to the bank!!" "I'm sure glad I can live without ever eating at a McDonald's again. It is a shame and mockery that you are supporting a lifestyle that is not natural and an abomination against God. I sure hope families and others will support this boycott. It might take a while for you to feel the results, but it will happen." "YOU DID NOT BILD YOUR COMPANY ON HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE! IT WAS BUILD ON FAMILY VALUES! MAN,WIFE.CHILDREN!MOSTLTY CHILDREN! THEY DON'T COME FROM HOMO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "What are you teaching our children? Isn't Ronald Mcdonald geared toward children? What next? a gay Ronald? This is an abomination unto God!!!Jesus is on his way back soon and real soon!" "I will no longer support McDonalds but eating there. I am a mom with kids who love McDonalds but we will now go to Burger King or any other burger establishment until McDonalds decides to take a stand, by not taking a stand for the decline of the morality of our country. I hope there are enough homosexuals in the country to keep McDonalds running~!" "I am so sorry to hear that McDonald's has fallen for the pressure of the Gay and Lesbian groups. Just as our country has become fearful of Islam, and lawsuits. It is a shame, since McDonald's has been so clearly all-American. But no more unless you are willing to break your ties with the Gay Lesbian groups." "We used to be regular patrons to McDonald's since McD's was know as a respectful place. However, since their participation in the gay agenda, we have found another place that we go to regularly now. Why not support something that will actually help out people like sick children, cancer patients, the hungry, or the poor kids that need adopted and don't have any money to buy clothes?" "We have eaten at Mc Donalds for years and years....my husband and I, our children and our grandchildren will no longer do so. Burger King here we come!!! Stop dictating to the few or you will feel the pocket pinch!!!! Very sincerely yours!!!" "My family has poured thousands of dollars over the years into this company; however, we stopped once we found out about McDonald's commitment to the homosexual agenda [Chick-Fil-A and Hardee's have benefited from our switch]. I hope that you will change to a neutral position rather than to continue using your resources to support the homosexual AGENDA." "I have four children and they all love McDonald's, However in good conscience I cannot support a corporation that openly supports sexual perversion, and an outright attack on traditional families." "I am sorry to hear McDonalds chooses to enter politics rather than sell hamburgers.I thought you were a family fast food, I won't be back" "Our family will NOT be eating at Mc D's anymore and I will be sure and tell all of my friends about this." "This support of the gay agenda is not a matter of being tolerant and fair and legal toward a gay person as one of God's creations. It is actually an "in our face" promotion of this agenda. McDonalds won't even know what hit them when they start losing business because of this bad choice. The bigger they are, the harder they fall." "I am very disappointed at McDonalds for taking a side of an issue they didnt have to take. It shows clearly they do not care what the rest of America thinks so when their sales drop like a rock let them figure it out!" "My family has eaten at McDonald's for years, we considered it a family style restaurant. No more, McDonald's Corp. should never have taken this step. We will no longer eat there unless they change their policies. I'm so sorry they let the "few" dictate to the many." "I am saddened by your choice to support an agenda that is an outright attack on the family. You have strayed a long way from the McDonald's I grew up with. Here is a new slogan for you: "Do the Right Thing" Please do the right thing and stop your relationship with these anti-family organizations!" "Our family of seven has begun and will sustain a boycott of McDonalds. Moreover, I am disinclined to stop the boycott just because McDonalds may change their policy for economic reasons. I am not looking for outward change, but inward change." "no more hamburgers for my family at the Big Mac... uck..uck.." "I am so sorry to see McDonald's take this action of openly, as a corporation, embrace and promote the homosexual lifestyle. You will no longer get my business. I've been a customer for years, but cannot continue to patronize a company who has decided to promote the homosexual agenda and all that it stands for." "I NO LONGER EAT AT YOUR LOCAL MACDONALDS NOR DOES SOME OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WHY NOT JUST REMAIN NEUTRAL AND NOT SUPPRT THE GAY LIFESTYLE." "Serve burgers and not an agenda. No more McDonalds for me!" "No more McDonalds for our family until they choose to remain neutral." "I usually eat at McDonald's 3-4 times a week. And I run through the drive-thru for their iced coffee nearly every day. No longer. Too bad they think their patronage of the homosexual agenda is more important than my patronage of their restaurant." "Our Family was a customer of original McDonald establishment. All our offspring were McDonald Customers...even the great Grand children... A great Family place has just died, Golden Arches have hit the pits.." "My wife and I are no longer patronizing your business and we are also actively informing everyone we know about your unfortunate position" "McDonald's support for this abhorent lifestyle will not be tolerated by me and my family. The stability and strength of our nation and its social fabric is dependent on the propigation of godly principles. We will no longer patronize your business." "I have 5 days a week my house filled with children of various age and many days it's Mc Donalds for dinner due to time restraints. NOT ANY MORE. I will not spend my hard earnd money to support a group of people that is trappling my beliefs and leading our futur generations in to a lifestyle that will kill them. I will not come and spend a dime there nor will I let any of my friends or aquaintends do so. what ever I can to stop this support of nglcc I will do. Children are too precious to be perverted like that. one of many who still have a sense of morality" "Jesus is coming soon...I pray McDonalds will see the truth before it is too late...there are too mamy other "great" places to eat so we all have a choice to go elsewhere." "And you call yourself a family place??? We've eaten our last meal at McDonald's -- so sad!! This is something you should not be involved in. Your business is serving the public not being in this kind of ungodly organization." "I have been a patron since the very first up went into business in Little Rock, AR and always thought it was a family restaurant, but was I fooled. Since you seem to be so proud of your stand on homosexuality, I am doubly proud of being a christian wife and mother and will do all I can to keep those of my family and myself away from McDonalds. I'm so sad to think that you would support such an agenda." "If the McDonald's heirarchy thinks we'll buy their burgers and support deranged homosexual activists who force their lifestyle on innocent children in the public schools, they had better think again. Their burgers now have a smelly odor to them." "No more Big Mac's for this family!!!!" "Ever since I was a young child, we have enjoyed eating at McDonald's and even had our birthday parties there. Now, I am ashamed and disappointed in this Corporation. It can no longer be considered a place for families to go and enjoy a meal together. I hope that this Corporation will come to its senses and realize what a detriment the homosexual lifestyle is to our nation and especially to our children. I will no longer eat at this restuarant and I have forward this information on to my family and friends so they can decide for themselves where they want their money to go." "I will not be supporting McDonald's. They have lost a customer." "Ask Ford Motor Company if a boycott effects sales. It will take time, but you will see the effect. I hope and pray you will re-think your stand to support and promote homosexuality." "Ray Krock has to be rolling over in his grave." "This is slow work, but one by one our families are boycotting Mc Donalds to eventually bring about a financial strangulation of the location two blocks from us to start with. Hopefully bumper stickers will soon be available to spread the word and massively advertize the end of Mickey D." "Diversity is one thing and most of the time it is a good thing. But this goes way too far. Ford had to learn the hard way, and now it seems McDonalds must also take the low road. There are so many other things that are important and in which McDonalds could make a positive contribution toward. It is a shame that you have decided to push the Gay and Lesbian agenda. You have lost my business, and that of my extended family." "My family of 8 eat at Mcdonalds at least 3xs a week. We discontinue this until McDonalds removes its endorsement and remains neutral." "We eat at McDonalds regularly, but no more. It is really sad that you are taking sides in a cultural and social issue. YOu are putting your influence and money to promote a lifestyle that is not normal. You are contributing to the decline of the family and everything that is good and wholesome. We will not be eating at your restaurants as long as you choose to do this. I hope you will reconsider this decision." "So McDonald's brags that they can "make a difference" but they choose to do it in a perverted manner by supporting a perverted lifestyle. It's sad they choose to lash out at families in this way; those same families who have given them the means to be able to make a difference. But there is a way for the insulted public to also make a difference. I and millions of others will no longer eat there. With no customers, their ability to make this negative difference will disappear. I think McDonalds is toast." "The Golden Arches is now the Rainbow Arches. I just found a cure for the Big Mac attack." "Ray Kroc started McDonald's as a place for families to go for inexpensive fast food, not as an organization to promote gay & lesbian people and their skewed "values". Remove your membership and support of NGLCC or be prepared to see your stock and standing plummet. Church-going families and singles won't support a McDonald's that promotes the gay life-style. Willowick, OH" "Why in the world would McDonalds support a lifestyle that IS not and will NEVER be accepted in the mainstream? Promoting Gay and Lesbian is the same as promoting crimes against nature." "Don't be dupes for the Queer agenda. Look at Ford. They almost lost it all. Peace." "Can you really afford to risk losing a whole generation of future customers over a political issue? It will take a while for the boycott to take effect, but it will take effect. By the time realize what's happening, it will probably be too late." "I do not hate anyone nor do I support hate, however I do stand for traditional family the bond between man and woman which is ordained of god! I will not frequent your establishment." "Of course the Ford boycott was kept under the radar by the media, but if McDonald's would only learn from the effects it had on Ford, they would think twice. Looks like McDonald's is going on our blacklist. It's unfortunate for our young kids, but they'll get over it." "Just because Richard Ellis is gay does not mean that the whole company needs to support homosexual marriage. It's a shame. My children will not eat there again." "I shall no longer purchase any items from McDonald's because of their open support of the gay & lesbian community. I strongly feel McDonald's should remain neutral in this matter." "You seem to be proud of your support of the San Francisco Gay Pride parade of 2007. Are you aware of the extent of the mockery of the Catholic Church and its members that takes place every year at this event? We used to take our grandchildren to McDonald's routinely but no longer. How sad!!!" "I too am boycotting McDonalds. As a regular customer, I'm painfully disappointed to hear about this decision. Between biblical principles and McDonalds, I choose the Bible." "It is truly a sad day in this country when a megacorporatin that has made its living on the backs of American families turns against the family by supporting a deviant and destructive lifestyle." "I am sure the Krock are rolling over in therio graves! I will not longer patronize MaDonalds until they come to their senses and stop what is a mater of personaklhoice and should not be an item of political concern!!!" "I do not agree with what you are doing.It is morally wrong.Iwill no longer visit Mcdonalds" "It is appalling to think that what was once considered a "safe family environment" is now openly and actively supporting such a lifestyle which contradicts all family values. I suppose next the playground will be open for pedifiles in order to not offend them. I think you chose the wrong group to support. More heterosexual families have children in case you haven't noticed. I predict a downward slope in your profits. I know I won't be back - I'll continue to spend my money...but it will not be McDonalds who will see a penny of it." "McDonalds has been my favorite fast food restaurant for many, many years. I am 68 years old. I will never again go to any McDonalds again!! I will also actively encourage friends and family to do the same and pass this website along to my email addresses. So sorry you are going against the majority of your customers and no longer be family friendly. At one time, there were not many fast food choices; gladly there are many now. Praying you will change your minds and support the thinking of the majority of your customers." "Since you have decide to support homosexually totally and their Sodom and Gomorrah life style. This has given me an extremely good reason to stop the purchase of any of your food items from McDonalds as of today. I also have a very active Blog site and I will post data about your support of the homosexual gay agenda." "I intend to boycott McDonald's until I hear that they change their position on supporting homosexuality!" "Homosexuality is a choice. McDonalds should not be supporting choice that go against God. You will have to answer to Him in due time. I will pray for you and the McDonald's corporation." "McDonald's should remain neutral in the culture war. I will not support an establishment that uses my money to support a far-left agenda. GOOD BYE GOLDEN ARCHES!" "I am so sorry McDonalds, but I guess my children will no longer be getting those Happy Meals and you will no longer be getting our business! Hello Burger King! I have been a Mcdonald's regular for years. No longer. There is a difference between tolerance and advocacy. I regret you chose the latter."" "Wow! We eat a lot of McDonalds and this is just sad! As a family friendly establishment, you should choose to remain neutral on political issues that deeply affect the structure of American families! This is truly unfortunate for a lot of the kids, including my 4, in America to have to steer clear of Ronald!" "I am disappointed to see such blatant disregaurd for other cultures. Do you support ALL cultures epually? If not, then maybe you should reconsider how much your corporation should really throw it's financial weight in one direction. I would like to see proof of your equal support for ALL cultures. Until then, I can no longer support McDonald's with my business." "I'm sorry to hear about your pro-gay agenda. Our family won't support businesses that openly support values we do not. We hope you reconsider." "My wife and I have regularly suppoted and eaten at McDonalds...we will no longer do that..not until your Management takes an entirely different stand on the homosexual issue" "Until Mcdonalds changes their policy my family will never patronize them." "I know longer feel that McDonalds supports the family so we will no longer support them!" "As long as McDonald's Corporation supports the homosexual adgenda My family of nin(-7 children) and all my personal influences will be used to discourage friends and family from doing any business with McDonald's." "I've done without you, McDonald's, for about 15 years, because of your negative impact on my physical health. I can now continue to boycott you for another 15 or more years because of your negative impact on my spiritual health. Good-bye, Ronald!" "We were disappointed with McDonald's attitude. We thought you were family friendly, but looks like you have gone to the far left. We will stop at other Fast Foods when on the road. DJJ" "I will never eat at McDonalds again." "So long, Ronald, hello Wendy's!" "I have a coupon for McDonald's but I will not be using it as I usually bring my grandchildren there. I recently saw clips from the Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco.. If this is the type of people you support, I will no longer be giving my business to yours, and will not be taking my grandchildren there. You should be ashamed of yourselves by supporting such low lifers.. If they were normal and acted like normal people, I might agree with you, but after seeing what I saw in those parades, I would say it is down right perverted and that makes you a party to it.. Sincerely, Laraine Benyo" "We grew up near one of the first McDonald's stores in Glen ellyn. Your support of the Gay Agenda is wrong and saddens us. Ray has to be rolling over in his grave over your support of the Gay agenda, a direct insult to family life! Our family will never go to another McDonald's store again!!" "FOR SHAME !!!!!!!! The Bible STILL STANDS !!!!" "My husband and I will not longer eat at McDonald's. We agree homosexuals have a right to choose their behavior but please don't try to suggest that type of behavior is normal." "Please remain neutral on social and cultural issues because of the global apparence of your restaurants. Thank you so much." "You will have to answer to God. Your choice! Read the Bible." "With 4 children and 10 grand children I am extremely disappointed that McDonalds has, not only, taken a stand against the traditional American family, but, has sided with those whowould see America follow the path of Sodom and Gommorah. Our family would rather stay home and grill out and we will." "I will not eat at your establishment any longer (and I have four kids!) because of what you are clearing in favor of here. This is not an attack on homosexuals but instead on the ones who are outrageous in their behavior, sexual and otherwise. Since McDonald's promotes Ronald McDonald for children, etc., I really thought you would have had more sense than to associate yourself with this sort of behavior. My children certainly will not be eating there anymore. Since I do not condone what you are doing, I will not be a hypocrite by eating at your establishment. Wise up." "As a frequent McDonald's customer I am saddened to find out that McDonald's has openly supported the homosexual agenda and has openly endorsed and supported the Gay & Lesbian Pride Parade. I always thought of McDonald's as a family place. I do support you treating employees or customers the same regardless of their sexual preference, but to openly support their lifestyle by advertising and supporting the Gay and Lesbian Pride Events I believe you have overstepped the boundries of sensibility as far as a family eating place. I will certainly give this consideration when I choose to eat fast food next." "I feel that I can no longer spend my money at McDonald's because of your support of the NGLCC. I do not hate homosexuals, but I do feel that the behavior that is being promoted by this organization is wrong. I am sorry that you feel the need to be a part of this organization." "I will not support a company that becomes political. You should simply sell your food and worry about profits not promoting agendas you think matter that do not matter to others. I am appalled that your corporation has such a high opinion of itself to take on issues that are not about food." "McDonald I am a regular customer in your store but I will not be eating in your store any more because of your open support of gay. I am a christianand God says they are an Abolition and God will deal with them. joyce" "As long as you support the homosexual agenda, I will not frequent McDonald's. Donna Barnes" "I have been a Mcdonald's regular for years. No longer. There is a difference between tolerance and advocacy. I regret you chose the latter." "In spite of all the children's play areas, I no longer consider McDonald's a family friendly environment and will not spend money there." "Sorry to say I will not be takeing any of my 4 grandchildern to you place any time soon. So Sad To Bad for You." "Our family of 6 will no longer support McDonald's. BK has it my way!!" "I won't be back until this is over." "I am a mother of 3 who spent many happy hours and meals at McDonald's. When my children were growing up, it was one of the best places to be. A place where moms & dads took their children to have a fun meal, and let them play in McDonald Land. My heart is full of sadness, and I am greatly appalled that your company has taken a stand to support such a lifestyle that is confusing and dysfunctional to our society, and especially to our children. I will never enter the doors of McDonald's again, as long as you support this sad, and unacceptable lifestyle of gays, and lesbians. You have managed to take the true meaning of family out of our society, and helped to support this confusing lifestyle for a young child. Thanks to you, the children of this generation who look at McDonald's as a family and friendly place, will grow up to believe it's okay to have a dysfunctional lifestyle." "It is reprehensible that McDonald's, a traditional American family-friendly establishment has chosen to take the course of action it has with regard to its promotion of the homosexual agenda. My money will not be used as a platform to advance this wicked lifestyle, so I guess that means no more Quarter Pounders with cheese for me or my family. I pray the Lord moves on your heart that homosexuality is evil. Likewise, I pray that you come to understand that your willingness to advance the cause this vile behavior is equally wicked and objectionable." "I recently saw two young teenagers making out. I figure McDonalds is no longer my kind of place. I think the sixteen year old worked there." "Please remain neutral on contriversal issues" "I am so sorry that you have taken an American icon and turned it into a poster child for the gay/lesbian movement. This action is short sited as your customers who are not of your opinion will now be eating somewhere else. My dollars will not be used to attack the American family. Ray Croc would be horrified." "Your job is to provide burgers, not make political statements. And because of your decision to go AGAINST the majority of this nation, you have lost one long standing customer, and his entire family. Plus, I will actively work to the best of my ability to get everyone I know to boycott your stores. You made your decision, now I am making mine. Pastor Bruce Ball Claremore, OK" "I am saddened that Mcdonalds has joined the culture war on the side of those who have chosen a very unhealthy lifestyle, one that has been a large factor in raisning health care costs for everyone. I am planning to visit Burger King instead. William" "I'm going to miss my morning Egg McMuffin. Our church will miss ourt trip stops with children and youth. But standing on what McDonalds used to stand on...family values, is worth the miss. How can you sponsor such a vulgar parade in San Francisco and call yourselves family oriented. You should reconsider your choice. Thanks, Bob Finch" "Well me and my family will not be doing business with you anymore, gonna miss you but will make it with out you!!!" "Bye-bye to McDonald's; I'm not loving it!" "I will not be back to McDonald's as long as you support homosexual lifestyle as "normal"." "I grew up with you and you were family. Now, I have to leave you because of your support of the gays and lesbians. If you want to get involved in a cause, support a charity, expand the work of Ronald McDonald House,feed the hungry, work for world peace, do something to strengthen our society." "Executives at McDonald's I have been a patron of your establishment my entire life. I am in my mid-40's. I am very disappointed to hear that you are refusing to stay neutral in the culture wars. You are in the fast food business, and you need to focus your efforts there. You need to support things which promote the family rather than tearing it down. I don't mind when you use my money for your Ronald McDonald House to help children, but when you take it to help endorse an unhealthy lifestyle that destroys the family I am very displeased. Because of your decision to refuse to remain neutral, you have given me no choice but to boycott all of your restaurants until you change your mind. Not only will I boycott your restaurants, but I will encourage everyone that I know to do the same. I hope that you will come to your senses very soon!!!!" "I own stock in McDonald's. I am going to bring this up for the stockholders to decide. I think few of us approve of the company promoting the homosexual agenda, especially when we market to kids! Your donations to LGBT groups are an outrage! McDonald's needs to stay neutral in the culture wars!" "Sorry, but my shadow will no longer cross the threshold of the golden arches. Good bye. I need to lose weight and save money. This is just the impitous I needed." "Do you really think that the number of "gays" that you hope to ingratiate to McDonald's by openly supporting their agenda (and would have eaten at McDonald's anyway) will make up for the potential MAJORITY of Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA that you will both offend and possibly lose as customers?" "Dear Sir, I shall no longer frequent any McDonald's restaurant and will actively discourage others from doing so. McDonald's has an obligation to the youth to remain non-political. Kay C. Stone" "I am very disappointed in McDonald's decision to throw their full corporate "weight" behind the gay agenda instead of remaining neutral in the culture wars. As a result of this decision, neither I nor my family will be doing any further business with any McDonalds ANYWHERE...until such a time as this decision is rescinded. I pray that your corporation will cease "pushing" this immoral agenda on most of the rest of the country that doesn't want this 'crap' continually shoved in our faces, or our children's." "McDonalds: You have lost a customer because you have chosen to support homosexuality as being normal when in fact it is perverted. Shame on you." "It is really sad when I have to boycott an American Institution because it supports values so different from mainstream America." "I HAVE EATEN MANY,MANY TIMES AT McDONALDS, BUT I HAVE HAD MY LAST!!" "we often take our youth group to McDonald's when they are out on a youth event. We come with a bus load of teens but do to your support towards the gay agenda we can no longer support your buisness. Our conscience will not allow us." "McDonald's was built on family principles. We will give start patronizing Jack in box and burger King, Carl's Jr. no more McDonalds til you change your principles." "I won't support you with your gay agenda or hiring illegals." "I don't need McDonalds, mcDonalds needs the average person, nor would I support promoting a sexual agenda. The Gays will survive in their lifestyle without promoting them, our society does not need that. They can do what they want but I don't want to hear about it or have it thrown in my face at every turn!!" "I was very disappointed to learn the McDonalds is openly promoting the gay life style...our kids think McDonalds is the greatest place in the world...and they are going to be dissappointed...as I am." "I intend to quit purchasing at any McDonald's due to your support of the Homosexual agenda" "My family of 4 already has been boycotting McDonald's because of this issue that came up several months ago. This is a responsible thing to do because we are responsible with where we put our money." "I and my wife have been patrons of McDonalds for well ove thirty years. We have children and Grandchildren who have been patrons as well. BUT - no longer will my family spend a single penny at McDonalds until they comply to the wishes of the AFA regarding Homosexuality. Additionally, we will participate in and promote a worldwide boycott of McDonalds and all McDonalds affiliates." "I will no longer take any of my grand children nor my self to any Mc Donald's restaurant--I also intend to tell others about this decision of mine--I know you also sponser Planned Parent hood--which most of the finincial support they get are uded for abortions" "McDonald's has lost my business until they except and comply with American Family Associations requests." "I'm sorry to hear that you, as a corporation, are fully backing the gay agenda. I will not be eating at McDonalds again." "Too bad...I sure used to like your food. Ate at McDonalds very often. Stop promoting the gay agenda and I will be back." "I will never eat at your abominable establishment again." "I support the boycott of McDonalds for it's support of the homosexual lifestyle and homosexual marriage agenda." "I will boycott McDonalds until they stop supporting a deviate life style. And, if that means forever, so be it!" "I`m sorry that you have made the decision that heterosexul folks such as i are not welcome in your resturants any longer. i will not argue your decision. By giving your resturants sapport to the homosexual groups you have told me my believes and lifestyle are not yours and i`m not welcome in your resturants anylonger. I will pass your position on to all and will no longer patronise your resturants. god bless you . ..... larry pritchard" "There are many issues which McDonald's could champion that are noble and not controversial. How about Mothers Against Drunk Drivers? It could be Poverty, Hunger, Child Abuse, there would be no one against your support of these. The unnatural aspect of homosexuality or lesbian practice and the changing of the meaning of "Marriage" to allow same sex marriage are definitely controversial and not in anyone's best interest to support." "McDonalds has received their last penny from me. I find it hard to "swallow" that this company that had made millions off children and families would exploit that support by throwing in their money with a perverse and sinful lifestyle movement. While I haven't enjoyed the food at McDonalds for quite some time, it was convienient when I needed a quick breakfast item. But I can certainly get up a few minutes earlier in the morning to avoid supporting people who do not believe in values that match mine. Good-bye and good riddance." "We will be patronizing Whataburger and others from now on. We are disappointed with your supportof gay marriage. Cliff & Jana Maples" "Our family will not be purchasing anything at your store and we will be urging our friends to do the same." "I am appaulled at your support for such action and will now have all family members and church associates (about 5000 of us) to boycott all eating at McDonalds until it hurts your position financially and you change your direction just as we did with Ford Motor Company recently. We will 'show you' who has the 'majority oppinion' on this issue in America Today ! ! !" "I read and study my Bible. God is very plain in speaking against that life style, He loves each human but not sin they commit. This is God's words directly, not a "preacher" telling us what he thinks...which could be true or slated. I will not eat at McD for a long time. Sorry. Don Thornberry Nashville" "My family will boycott McDonalds as it upholds and supports a lifestyle that is contrary to the values that we hold." "I am so disappointed that you choose to support a lifestyle that is an abomination unto the Lord! I wonder what the original owner would think of you. I will choose to cross you off my list of favorite places to eat. I hope you will change your mind and stay neutral." "I think it is appauling that a eating establishment that caters to children is promoting the gay agenda. I will never eat McDonald's again, I will not take my children and or my grandchildren to eat there ever again. Respectfully, Vera Ferguson" "I will not patronize a restaurant that chooses political correctness and sexual issues over children and family." "As long as McDonalds is going to take this stand on homosexuality, I will no longer be a customer. I will also encourage all my family, friends, and co-workers to do the same." "I.m sure your stockholders will not appriove of your actions. I for one, do not." "I have had my last Big Mac. Thanks" "YUCK !...I've eaten my last BIG MAC !......." "My family and I are done with McDonalds untill this changes." "Until McDonalds choses to remain silent on this issue.....No more Happy Meals for my two boys." "McDonald's is a fine restaurant but they should not support NGLCC"
