Fundies Calling McDonald's Corp. a Bunch of Fag Lovers Americans for Truth and the American Family Association, two of those fundie orgs bent on convincing the world that Christians are good and clean and gays are disgusting petrie dishes on legs, are calling for a boycott of McDonald's restaurants on the grounds that they're being way too nice to the gays. They in fact held a "press conference" today, not quite at McDonald's headquarters, but at the McDonald's restaurant adjacent to McDonald's world headquarters." HA. This seems to come in response to the HRC praising the corporation for its domestic partners policies, donations to gay-friendly organizations and protection of rights for the transgendered. Using the brilliant logic fundies have always been known for, Americans for Truth's Peter LaBarbera draws the comparison that healthy salads run counter to McDonalds' support of the gay agenda. To wit: "McDonald's has wisely chosen to alter its menu to promote healthy eating habits. Now it needs to examine its fiscal priorities and stop rewarding unhealthy lifestyles –– starting with an end to corporate subsidies for homosexual and transsexual behavior," LaBarbera said. "Homosexuality is unhealthy, especially for men: 71 percent of male HIV cases in 2005 involved men who have sex with men, according to the CDC. And syphilis and other STD's continue to afflict men practicing homosexuality at rates astronomically disproportionate to the rest of society." Yes, well, gays are also disproportionately more fit, attractive and stylish than fundamentalist Christians who live in fly-over states and eat McDonalds, so fuck you, LaBarbera. We'll take the occasional syphilis scare over your chubby spare tire and joyless sex life any day.

What about the "flame"-broiled Whopper? Surely that deserves some condemnation.
