If possible, avoid chain and franchise businesses that put the small shops under. The smaller business will typically/usually have a more conservative, and personal outlook on life. (Not swayed by corporate) I shy away when possible where the heard feeds at the trough. I do alert friends about businesses/services taking a stand/support for corruption, blatantly public or political types slipping bills through on the sly. In the early eighties, our home school league had pole watchers in Washington, who would catch politicians trying to quietly pass an unknown/unpublicized anti home school or other anti family bill through, and would alert key people throughout the country, and they, in turn they would alert each group within the state and cities and towns, then families. The phones in Washington would get so overloaded with calls, they could not conduct business. Home schoolers were well known back then in Washington. They were very diligent/vocal. It worked back then. (And this was PRE-INTERNET) Ma Bell or Snail Mail............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this gets them increase in gross revenue for the month of June that's really disgusting. Especially if all it took was to put a rainbow on the back of the large$ fries with the branding, "I'm lovin it", that McDonald's already uses every day? That's cheap pitch. Possibly because their marketing team knows LGBTQS will fall for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a million different reasons to avoid McDonald's that have nothing to do with gay pride. For instance, if they can sell you a double cheeseburger for $1, what are they passing off to us as "meat?" Indeed , they are already poisoning the body , now they are poisoning the soul too .

They would notice and would think twice about celebrating it. Problem is Christian just don't care or are too apethetic and don't do anything. Boycotts use to work and corporations targeted by that would change policies to make it all go away. Al Sharpton and his group made quite a bit of press and money engaging in such actions. But theirs were racist and separatist inclined . And now they've gone away being Al Sharpton's dark side also made news. And in todays world that has rapidly declining morals, boycotts now invite commerce rather than impact it negatively. It's the, come see what's wicked and worthy of dissent! And support it as counter protest. The world seems to be turning in the direction of giving the antithesis of righteousness its turn. And it seems it is only going to get worse.
