McDonald’s hears: ‘I’m NOT lovin’ it!’
In front of local restaurants, fed-up Christians protest company’s support of same-sex marriage -

WorldNetDaily – The corporate headquarters for McDonald’s is hearing from store managers in California that customers are upset over the company’s pro-homosexual advocacy and they aren’t going to take it any longer.
Yuriy Popko, one of several Christians who staged a sign-waving protest at the Golden Arches in Citrus Heights today, said the protest at that location was suspended when store officials agreed to convey protesters’ objections to the corporate office. Protesters object to McDonald’s homosexual advocacy at a local McDonald’s franchise July 22, 2008, in Citrus Heights, Calif.

“They came out and talked with us. Basically we had two requests: a notice to the public and that they e-mail our concerns to the corporate office,” Popko told WND.
He said McDonald’s officials confirmed they already had notified both regional and international headquarters about the concerns. But the company has a prohibition on local posted notices, so Popko said the Christians agreed to write a letter that McDonald’s would forward also.
“Tomorrow we’re going to be at a different location,” he said.
WND report earlier on the call for the boycott by the American Family Association, and later when the boycott was joined by several other organizations.
It was because of a decision by the restaurant chain known for Happy Meals and its Golden Arches to deliberately advocate for homosexuality. The company has given $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and placed one of its executives on that group’s board. The NGLCC, among other things, lobbies for same-sex “marriage” provisions.
“If McDonald’s restaurants and franchises … follow the small business advice of the company’s new homosexual partner – the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), which received a $20,000 grant from McDonald’s – there would be chaos,” said Peter LaBarbera, chief of Americans for Truth.
Protesters gather at a McDonald’s earlier this week near the corporate headquarters in Chicago to join in a boycott of the chain for its promotion of homosexuality.

LaBarbera’s was one of several groups, also including the Culture Campaign, Liberty Counsel, the American Family Association of Pennsylvania and the Illinois Family Institute, that have joined the boycott call.
Popko said there are Christians from several organizations in the area working on the McDonald’s boycott.
