McDonalds serving "Gay unfriendly fries" for 77 years now, finally gets PC - was [jim.sovereign@optusnet.com.au: McDonald launches gay friendly fries to back Washington DC’s Gay Pride parade.]

[zen at freedbms.net (Zenaan Harkness)]

I'm shocked I tell you, truly shocked, that McDonalds has been
serving Gay-unfriendly fries for so long, indeed 77 years no less!

I'm surprised that McDs is so open about their White Supremacist past
- I thought they hired better PR agencies.

Oh well, the things we learn.

<no dry humour intended, only literal interpretations allowed;
 we're all asburger's spectrum around McDonalds anyway...>

Subject: McDonald launches gay friendly fries to back Washington DCâ??s Gay Pride parade.

Itâ??s irritating enough when food corporations pander to Muslims with their Halal demands, now we have McDonaldâ??s supporting the LGBTI agenda with their politically correct â??gay friendlyâ?? fries. Whatâ??s next on McDonaldâ??s menu: a â??Big Gayâ?? burger to go with their gay fries?
 
Is this another example of corporate social engineering? McDonaldâ??s deserves to be boycotted for this public relations stunt, not to mention its awful food.

FAST food giant McDonaldâ??s is changing the way it presents its fries for customers for just three days â?? and itâ??s sparked an online debate across the globe. 
To mark the annual Gay Pride parade in Washington DC <https://twitter.com/washingtondc> , the US capital city, on Saturday (local time), McDonaldâ??s has announced that it will offer gay friendly fries to customers. Rainbow print fry boxes will be used for large-sized orders at three specific locations along the Capital Pride Alliance <http://www.capitalpride.org/events/parade-2017/> â??s parade route.
McDonaldâ??s is also a sponsor of the Capital Pride Alliance, which is dedicated to LGBTQ education and outreach, and also has a float in the parade.
â??The rainbow fry boxes are a fun way to show our support of the LGBTQ community using one of McDonaldâ??s most iconic and recognisable items; however, these fry boxes are â??small potatoesâ?? in the grand scheme of our commitment to this community,â?? said Cathy Martin, vice president/general manager of McDonaldâ??s Baltimore-Washington Region.
â??We are proud to honour and celebrate the LGBTQ community, including our employees, customers and beyond, each and every day.â??
The decision to introduce gay friendly fries has caused an online debate.
Evangelist Joshua Feuerstein, a former paster who has more than two million followers on his  <https://www.facebook.com/joshua.feuerstein.5/> Facebook page, called for a boycott of McDonaldâ??s.

Feuerstein also slammed department store giants Macyâ??s pro-LGBT campaign, writing: â??Well ... Macyâ??s decided to push the gay agenda! Looks like they lost my business too! Itâ??s time to boycott businesses that push the homosexual agenda. Click SHARE and let others know ... let them feel it in their pocketbook!â??
However, his boycott call also caused angst.

June is LGBT Pride Month <https://www.loc.gov/lgbt-pride-month/about/>  in the US and the former President Barack Obama supported the LGBT community annually with proclamations. President Donald Trump and his White House will not recognise it this year.
