I'll have a Fish Filet with large fry, please

So, I'm not going to lie. I love me some McDonald's. I could have probably gone to college with all the money I've spent over my lifetime there. It sustained me during high school and gave me (free) smiles during college. And today, I try to only go once a week — if that — but only as a reward of sorts or when I'm having a shitty day, which, looking at that could happen like every day.

Anyway, me getting cravings for delicious Fish Filets (lesbian delicacy anyone?) is not the point of this post, this is: the American Family Association is calling for a McDonalds boycott because the company is gay-friendly. Ahem:

"McDonald's has signed on to a nationwide effort to promote "gay" and "lesbian" business ventures. According to McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner, McDonald's will aggressively promote the homosexual agenda. In remarks on McDonald's Web site concerning the company becoming a member of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), Skinner wrote: "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."

So, essentially, we gays need to do our part and nom nom our way through Mickey Dee's fantastic menu. And I love when they say "gay agenda" as though it's a part-time job of mine. Hmm. Apple pies anyone?
