Unlike the successful gay-positive ad of McDonald's airing in France, homophobic and hateful sounding Donald Thompson, Chief Operating Officer for McDonald's, states that a gay ad will never run in the United States.
I've never shied away from the fact that I'm a Christian. I have my own personal beliefs and I don't impose those on anybody else. I've been in countries where the majority of the people in the country don't believe in a deity or they may be atheist. Or the majority of the country is Muslim. Or it may be the majority is much younger skewed. So when you look at all these differences, it's not that I'm to be the judge or the jury relative to right or wrong. Having said that, at McDonald's, there are core values we stand for and the world is getting much closer. So we have a lot of conversations. We're going to make some mistakes at times. (We talk) about things that may have an implication in one part of the world and may be the cultural norm in another part of the world. And those are things that, yes, we're going to learn from. But, you're right, that commercial won't show in the United States.
Christians: BARF! VOMIT! GAG!
We haven't given McDonald's any of our hard-earned cash in years (being veggie). NOW, for sure WE WON'T--EVER!!!!!
