Back || Next || Recent || Bohnertime || Close Ok, I know I have talked this topic to death but: My aunt’s cousin recently sent her an email informing her (my aunt) that (essentially) the Christian Right is boycotting Kraft Foods. Know why? Because Kraft Foods donated $25,000 to support the Gay Games in Chicago. 25 Grand. CHUMP CHANGE. And the Christian Right is morally OUTRAGED. From the AFA (American Family Association) to Kraft: Dear CEO Deromedi I was shocked to learn from OneMillionMoms.com that Kraft is a major corporate sponsor of the 2006 Olympic Gay Games in Chicago. As a consumer of many of your products, I strongly ask you to reconsider your financial support of this event. Your response to my concerns will determine my decision to purchase, or not purchase, your products in the future. source And from IllinoisFamily.org “By allowing their corporate logos to be used to promote the "Gay Games," Kraft, Harris Bank and other sponsoring companies are celebrating wrong and destructive behaviors, and showing their disdain for the majority of Americans who favor traditional morality and marriage.” source Seriously. Gimme a fucking break. Kraft’s (perfect) response: “We have no plans whatsoever to change our stance based on this group's, or any other, objections. We are standing behind our sponsorship” Kris Charles source Though on the bright side, now I have a moral excuse to eat all the Mac&Cheese I want. Fuck YOU, the Christian Right.
