McDonalds: Billions and Billions Insulted
.
Liberty Counsel is joining the boycott against McDonalds. While referring to Christians and other people with traditional values, a McDonalds spokesman arrogantly stated, "Hatred has no place in our culture," suggesting that anyone supporting the historical definition of marriage is motivated by hate. The company has insulted everyone who supports traditional marriage. McDonalds might as well change their signs from "billions and billions served," to read "billions and billions insulted."
.
Here is how you can help make a difference:
.
Read our News Release to learn more about the boycott. The boycott is ONLY about getting McDonalds to stay neutral in the culture wars. It is NOT about favoring discrimination or hate.
.
Join the boycott. Tell your local McDonalds manager that you will not eat there because the company is taking sides in the culture war by supporting radical groups that are against marriage between one man and one woman. Tell the corporate office at McDonalds toll-free at 1-800-244-6227 or by email via their online form.
.
Inform as many people as possible about the boycott by forwarding this Liberty Alert to your entire email list of family and friends.
.
On Wednesday, July 16, at 10:00 a.m., Liberty Counsel will announce support for the boycott at a joint press conference with the American Family Association and other organizations in front of the McDonalds restaurant across from the corporate headquarters in Oakbrook, IL.

Liberty Counsel Holds Joint Press Conference to Address McDonalds’ Anti-Christian Attacks
.
Chicago, IL – On Wednesday, July 16, at 10:00 a.m., Liberty Counsel will participate in a joint press conference with the American Family Association (AFA), Americans for Truth and the Illinois Family Institute in front of the McDonalds restaurant across from McDonalds' corporate headquarters in Oakbrook, IL. Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs with Liberty Counsel, will address the media.
.
Recently, the McDonalds Corporation contributed thousands of dollars and joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, a radical homosexual activist organization that pushes the homosexual agenda, including calling for legalization of so-called "same-sex marriage." In so doing, McDonalds has publicly sided in the ongoing culture war against the majority of Americans who hold traditional family values. For this reason, AFA called for the boycott against McDonalds.
.
"Unfortunately, McDonalds has chosen to side with militant homosexual activists over people with traditional values," said Matt Barber. "The company has further escalated the controversy by lodging a personal attack against the tens of millions of Americans who support traditional sexual morality and legitimate marriage. While referring to Christians and other people with traditional values, McDonalds spokesman Bill Whitman arrogantly told the Washington Post that, 'Hatred has no place in our culture,' thereby suggesting that people who support the historical definition of marriage are simply motivated by 'hate.' This insult is highly offensive, and anyone who supports traditional marriage should boycott McDonalds and tell the company why they’re doing so."
.
Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented, "McDonalds should focus on food quality and safety issues instead of attacking the values held by the majority of people worldwide. Marriage between a man and a woman is the norm throughout the world. McDonalds' personal attack against those who support the traditional definition of marriage, while siding with a narrow group that promotes a radical redefinition, shows that company executives are out to lunch. McDonalds might as well change their signs to read 'billions and billions insulted.'"
