The American Family Association (AFA) is a group that opposes same-sex marriages and it was reported in the Washington Post on July 4, 2008, that the AFA had launched a boycott against McDonald’s saying they have refused to “stay neutral in the cultural war over homosexuality.”
The AFA asked McDonald’s to remove themselves from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), with the association’s president, Tim Wildmon, stating, “We’re saying that there are people who support AFA who don’t appreciate their dollars from the hamburgers they bought being put into an organization that’s going to fight against the values they believe in.”
McDonald’s declined to do so with their U.S. Spokesperson, Bill Whitman, saying, “Hatred has no place in our culture. That includes McDonald’s, and we stand by and support our people to live and work in a society free of discrimination and harassment.”
