Did ya know Pepsi is the gay?

500,000 to boycott Pepsi over its ‘homosexual advocacy’

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.”

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.”

…Last month, Bell Shoals Baptist, a mega-church in Brandon, Florida, removed its Pepsi vending machines and replaced them with Coke machines.

“We fight this battle one skirmish at a time,” said Terry Kemple, the Bell Shoals member who organized the vending machine change, in an interview with the Brandon News & Tribune. “Our forefathers came here for religious liberty, not sexual liberty.”</em>

Homophobic jackass. What you don’t know about our forefathers- indeed, our entire history of freedom- boggles the mind.

So go pour yourself a big gulp of shut the fuck up and chase it…with a Pepsi.
