I know where my next burger's coming from...

Via a long comment trail that started at Making Light:

Kitchenmage reports that MacDonald's is being boycotted -- but this time by a far right "Christian" group which objects to MacDonald's support of gay rights. MacD's response to the boycott threat is a corporate letter which is a lesson in how to write an exquisitely polite "go jump off a cliff, you unAmerican bigots". I'm impressed, both for the standing up to the bigots, and for the phrasing of the letter itself.

Funny. Had two snack wraps yesterday. Love me some Micky D's and yay for gay!

Thanks for the info, Jules.

Yeah, that surprised me when I read that, too. Way to go, y'all.

When the boy was small and money was tight, a play date at the McDonald's kiddie yard was not unheard of. Might be time to go back and see what's new on the menu. I've been meaning to try their new iced coffees.

And don't forget that McDonald's has subsidiaries if you don't like their burgers. My favorite here in H'merica is Chipotle.

I haven't been to MacDonald's in years. Must make a point of going there tomorrow.

Hi! (kitchenMage here undercover...or not so undercover)

Thanks for the linkage, I'm glad the word is spreading.

Way to go, MacDonald's! Thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard about the boycott before now, but I am glad to see that MacDonald's is standing firm on this issue.
