Florida Churches Join AFA's Boycott Of Pepsi, Move To Drinking Coca Cola

Full story: lezgetreal.com

When the Community Issues Council, which include Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Brandon, FL, decided it was time to join with the American Family Association and boycott Pepsi products, they made the switch to Coca Cola. In doing so, they went from a relatively LGBT friendly company to a really LGBT friendly company. Coca Cola has consistently scored higher on the Human Rights Campaign’s list of LGBT friendly businesses. The furor started when Pepsico donated money to groups such as PFLAG and the HRC.

What a complete bunch of morons they are!! You'd think they would look into the practices of the "switch to" brand if they were going to boycott a product. Priceless!(and clueless!). They are their own worst enemies.

How lame. Ok, let's no got to Disney, let's not eat at McDonalds and now let's not drink Pepsi. Didn't some company tell them to piss off basically? I wish there was a way we could wage war on the Church. Not a blood bath but something else...

I simply love that their boycott will make even MORE money for the gay community...LOL

Maybe next time the churches should ask Carrie Prejeans magic biblical breast implants for guidance.

I bet old Maggie Gallagher is having stomach pains about now.

This is almost as good as when NOM tried to be hip and named their new campaign "2 million for marriage" 2M4M.
LOL..they forgot to look and see that M4M is a gay
dating lingo..LOL

now when You think you are looking up an anti gay group called 2M4M...you end up being sent to tons of gay dating and sex sites..LOL
Priceless.

You would think if God was so against gays, he would give them SOME sort of guidance..

but alas..it seems that not only does God NOT hate gays..it seems he has a terrific sense of humor when dealing with the churches bigoted homophobes!!

Pepsi doesn't get a "faith based exemption"? That seems a bit unfair.

Ha, Ha! They boycotted Ford and Ford is now doing the best of all of the American car companies.

While they're at it they should shut down their computers. Apple, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Dell and just about all other computer/software producers are gay friendly. Got an iPhone? Switch it off! Not only is it made by Apple, it's service is provided by AT&T which is also LGBT friendly.

Ninety-five percent of all Fortune 500 companies are LGBT friendly. The only way for the haters to boycott them all would be to live like the Amish or in a cave or something.

Let us not forget that when they boycotted Disney, attendance at the parks actually increased by 5+ percent. Clearly a boycott by loonies is a major deal maker.

The really funny part is that they boycott either companies they don't use anyway, or companies that they individually and privately have no intention of staying away from.

I'd call them hypocrites, but that would be an insult to hypocrites.

Yes, Disney added 'Gay Days' and, as I understand it, Six Flags is following suit! Great! America is still a bit groggy in it's tired attempts to hold onto the past. But, LGBT rights do seem to be marching on!

AFA has its moments. Like the Bible they provide some of the nastiest sex info.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire e-mail list of family and friends.

Abercrombie & Fitch pitches new trashy T-shirts to America's youth

Send an email to Abercrombie & Fitch. Ask them to pull their sexualized shirts.

September 9, 2009

Dear

Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) continues its pattern of pushing pornographic-themed material into mainstream America. Abercrombie & Fitch has just begun offering their "New College" line of T-shirts.

The first A&F T-shirt pictures a young girl opening her blouse - exposing herself. A&F titles the image: "Show the Twins".

The second picture is of a female running nude. A&F titles it: "Female streaking encouraged."

The next Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirt is entitled: "Female Students Wanted for Sexual Research"

Abercrombie & Fitch does not merely sell a popular line of clothing &#65533; they sell a lifestyle. And because A&F clothing is popular among teens and college kids, the influence of their sex-as-recreation lifestyle is widespread.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention reports that Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a major public health challenge in the United States. CDC estimates that approximately 19 million new infections occur each year&#65533; almost half of them among young people 15 to 24 years of age.

You can see the pictures of the shirts here. WARNING: They are offensive.

Is the AFA asking these churches to pray for "God's will" or their own will?

Guess the American Fascist Association likes the burst of flavor cyanide and valium bring when placed in Coca-Cola.

Note to self: Drink more Pepsi.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Pisces

Someone is extremely headstrong and defiant today, and there's every chance that you're the one fitting this description. The more others are trying to make you behave yourself or do what they want, the more determined you'll be to do the exact opposite. Well, it is a Full Moon, and a lunar eclipse in emotional Cancer, so you're excused! Show them that you're an individual in your own right without going completely overboard about it, because that will cause trouble. Then once you've got all that off your chest you can relax and look forward to a really Happy New Year!
