A group that advocates "traditional family values" claims it has the signatures of 500,000 people who have pledged to boycott Pepsi over what is says are the company's activities promoting gay rights.
The American Family Association, which boasts "2.5 million online supporters," "asked PepsiCo to be neutral in the culture war and not support the homosexual agenda," it said in a press release Tuesday. "PepsiCo refused. The company continues to give financial support to homosexual organizations."
The Pepsi boycott seems to be having some effect within the Christian conservative community. Last month, the Westboro Baptist Church, of "God hates fags" fame, protested in downtown Atlanta with signs that read "God hates Diet Pepsi."
Last month, Bell Shoals Baptist, a mega-church in Brandon, Florida, removed its Pepsi vending machines and replaced them with Coke machines.
"We fight this battle one skirmish at a time," said Terry Kemple, the Bell Shoals member who organized the vending machine change, in an interview with the Brandon News & Tribune. "Our forefathers came here for religious liberty, not sexual liberty.

Yes, this is true. All homosexual babies are the product of heterosexual couples.

I neither support nor reject a gay life style; the issue simply doesn’t touch me in any way.
But there is one good thing about gay couples. Extremely good: They don’t make babies.
And in the words of the ghost of Hamlet’s father, “Mark me. Mark me,” this is going to become an issue over the next 40-50 years that overshadows almost anything that has ever happened to humans as a species.

Not any longer. Coors was bought by Molson. You know, some of those Canadians who passed gay marriage a while back.

That was a rumor flying around about Target,too. But...I support our troops so I don't feel the need to boycot based on a businesses choice in how they run their business. I'd have to give up WAYYYYYYY to much of the stuff I have grown to love. (Charmin, Bounty, the list goes on and on...)
I LOVE Starbucks!
