It might be a good time to sell your McDonald's stock. The American Family Association contacted McDonalds and asked them to remain neutral in the culture wars, but McDonald's reaffirmed their intention to continue support of the homosexual agenda including gay marriage. It seems one of their VPs is a homosexual and serves on the board of a influential homosexual organization. This officer approved contribution of $20,000 to this gay organization. So a resturaunt chain that we have always thought of as "family friendly" has proven an enemy of the traditional family. The Christian right has proclaimed a boycott of McDonalds. A website has been created www.boycottmcdonalds.com to facilitate the effort. I would expect as the boycott gains steam that McDonald's revenues can only go one way, down. They will probably lose a portion of their customer base that they may never recover since the Christian right is about 25% of the population. This coupled with the poor state of the economy can only lead to tears for McDonalds. I look for this stock to take a nosedive.
