The American Family Association has launched a call for a boycott of McDonald's, including a website, BoyCott McDonald's. The boycott call stems from McDonald's refusal to condemn Vice President of Communications Richard Ellis’s election to the Board of Directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, as well as saying the fast-food giant has refused "to stay neutral in the cultural war over homosexuality."
McDonald's USA spokesman Bill Whitman says: "We stand by and support our people to live and work in a society free of discrimination and harassment."
In March, the association ended a two-year boycott of Ford after the automaker largely stopped advertising its Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in the gay media. The association also has boycotted retailer Target for substituting "holiday" for "Christmas" in its advertising and the Walt Disney Co. for its "embrace of the homosexual lifestyle."
