God hates Diet Pepsi? 500,000 to boycott Pepsi over its 'homosexual advocacy'

Full story: rawstory.com

A group that advocates "traditional family values" claims it has the signatures of 500,000 people who have pledged to boycott Pepsi over what it says are the company's activities promoting gay rights. The American Family Association, which boasts "2.5 million online supporters," "asked PepsiCo to be neutral in the culture war and not support the homosexual agenda," it said in a press release Tuesday. "PepsiCo refused. The company continues to give financial support to homosexual organizations."

Well I love Pepsi and I'll buy that much more now that the religious right is protesting. I think we gays should buy mostly Pepsi products. Religion is a guise for pure hatred. Don't let their love the sinner/hate the sin speech fool you because you are a fool if you fall for it. They hate homosexuality and therefore they hate YOU.

Pepsi or Coke are not going to hurt for money. The majority of people and businesses and restuarants are not going to stop buying just because the religious minority with a loud voice screams like a banshee.

If they don't want to drink Pepsi, then as Marie Antoinette might say, let them drink Kool-Aid. Preferably the Jim Jones variety.

Seeing homophobes tend to be a bunch of fat asses then of course they don't realize Diet Pepsi is way better, honestly, then Diet Coke. And WTF? I can understand how they might think their boycott of McDonalds might have an affect, seeing fast food is a HUGE part of a homophobe's diet, but Diet Pepsi (and anything else that isn't filled with sugar) is something totally forgein to them. It's akin to askig someone who lives in Alaska to boycott surfboards.

The AFA launched its boycott campaign in January over PepsiCo's "continued support of same-sex marriage and homosexual advocacy." The group said it had received a "condescending letter" from Pepsi that "refused to address Pepsi's support of the homosexual agenda."

---- I would LOVE to see this letter!

Wonder why there's no boycott planned against Microsoft (Just donated $100k in support of R71 in Washington state)? Oh, then they wouldn't be able to brainwash the masses with their lies and delusions.

Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.

Taste and sugarless.

AFA is a group of nuts who think all others are for them. Nuts can be bad for you if there are too many.

AFA is having trouble making its paydays. Little short on funds. All things like this do is get them more money to keep going and more to extract for personal pay for the leaders of the organization..

Wonder if any homophobe Lutheran churches will join them in the hate the GLBT of America Campaign.

The line "God Hates Pepsi" was apparently on a Fred Phelps picket sign. They are involved in this too.

Please note that the American Family Association had as its California State Director for YEARS a gentleman named Scott Lively. Scott Lively is the author of a work of halocaust revisionism and paid damages as a result of him personally assaulting a Gay rights supporter in Oregon. The AFA retained Mr. Lively for years AFTER both activities were common and PUBLIC knowledge.

The American Family Association. Hanging out with people who beat up Gay rights supporters and Halocaust Revisionists.

I've subscribed to the American Family Assn emails for several years now. It's easy to do and a great way to keep up with what the nutcakes are doing PLUS they often provide edresses for those who they are protesting along with a sample letter. I always just change the letter and the title of the email to suit my needs and send it on. Might as well use their servers to fight them.

Oh my God, you must be a member of the Gay Mafia...just secretly spreading the gay agenda everywhere!*gasp*
In all seriousness, good idea what you are doing! I think I will check it out. It could be as entertaining as watching Fox News!

What really makes me laugh about all this (besides the failed boycotts of Disney, Miller et.al.) is that these are the same people that whined when gay groups called to boycott companies that supported Prop H8.
Hypocrisy in the religious right? Say it isn't so!

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Aquarius

Be careful now, because you could easily give someone the wrong impression and not even know that you're doing it. This is most likely to happen if you're trying to pussy-foot around them or avoid offending them, because that's when things could get lost in translation. You also have a tendency to sit on the fence now, which could make you seem slightly untrustworthy or shifty if you aren't careful.
