See this boycott of McDonalds that I just seen.
http://www.boycottmcdonalds.com/
To help promote the gay agenda, McDonald’s paid $20,000 to become an official "organizational ally and corporate partner" of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and secure a seat on the group’s board of directors. The NGLCC lobbies against laws protecting marriage as between a man and a woman.


In response to the boycott, McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman suggested to the Washington Post that those who oppose SSM are motivated by hate, saying "...hatred has no place in our culture." McDonald's has decided to adopt the "hate" theme used by gay activist groups for years.

If you oppose SSM (Same Sex Marriage) according to Mikey D's you are motivated by HATE. Zowie. :shock:

They've actually started this, eh? Why not remain neutral as it just doesn't make sense.

MacUser,

We are facing a vote inthe Nov election on same sex marriage and their is a colition of pastors woking hard to get people out to vote.

Here anyone who opposes SSM is considered by many as a bigot and hate monger. It has been ties to race, just as the struggel for freedom and equality once was the issue for black Americans it is now the same for the Homosexual community. This may seem non important but it tries to place it in the catagory of racist. Here in Calif. the next group waiting in line are the poyligamist. If marriage is redefined for SSM then mulitple marriage could be next...It is a open door to completely alter our culture as we know it. This is not scare tactics. Papers are being processed by lawyers, cases are being prepared waiting.

Here is the response the colition has printed and agreed on. I know for many it may seem liberal, but in reality it is a strong statement that just because we oppose SSM we are not hate mongers.

God loves all people, therefore we love all people, and we will do so regardless of how some view or define themselves sexually. We choose to love those who, for whatever reason, have chosen to involve themselves in homosexual or other unbiblical sexual activity. Authentic inclusivity means loving all persons, without the need to compromise biblical integrity. We openly welcome into our lives as friends and into our churches those who are struggling with same-sex attraction or who are entrenched in that lifestyle, with a sincere hope that they might turn to Christ and be transformed, and join with all of us in the process of being ever more conformed to the truth of the Bible. Genuine, biblically- founded tolerance means not only that we must love those who are actively involved in the homosexual lifestyle, but would include them loving us, without placing demands upon us to renounce our biblical convictions. We are open to meaningful, loving, non-inflammatory dialogue.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

Paul,
Yes, I almost posted a personal disclaimer briefly similar to that in my original posting of this boycott topic.. but I digressed because I knew the Christian audience here knew better than this silly liberal narrow view that Christian groups are "gay haters". It's discouraging to let the other side always define the argument and we are forced to begin speaking from an assumed premise or position.

But in our politically correct world.. I do.. when referencing this topic outside of Christian circles... whether speaking in private or public.. make that disclaimer that we love the gay person yet oppose the sin. We stand strongly for the family based principle that a true marriage is only between a man and woman.

We don't need to lose this basic terminology in our society.
