Good As You

Love that last pic. Now there's a McDonald's I'd eat at. Dinner AND a show! Fabulous!

So in other words, the religious fundamentalists don't amount to a hill of beans. Nice to know that everyone knows them as the crazy people once again.

Seriously, you had to be there last year at the Marriage Equality hearings in RI when those against equality (Mainly the RC Church and their friends)got up to speak.

There was one guy, Father John Codega. He was a horses ass and Representative Amy Rice called him on it. While Codega was speaking we were heckling him from the audience.

It felt great.

This year I noted a much smaller religious contingent.
The bill never made it to the floor, but for the past three years now it has cleared the Judiciary Committee.

Instead of swiping pictures of men in drag (without permission, I'm sure), the least these nutballs can do is dress in drag themselves, and use those photos in their attempts to demonize gays.

Lord knows a good 1/3 of the men involved with "pro-family" groups are bigger drag queens than the ones at the clubs. And I'm sure Giuliani can loan them a few gowns to their cause as well.

Gee, last time I checked, these so-called family groups said the boycott wasn't about hiring practices. Hmm.

So that's her anecdotal story?

Wouldn't her son only say "McDonalds bad" if she taught him to say that? It's not like he thought of it himself. And I'll bet there's a small part of the boy that's resentful that mommy took away his McDonalds because they're bad when he's not even sure why they're bad.

I think what surprises me the most is that Andrea Lafferty has a kindergarten-age son. How old is that woman??

Daimeon, if her story is even true, it is absolutely likely she just taught him to parrot that.
I'm trying to imagine the scenario where she tries to explain to a five-or-six year old why they have to boycott McD's. There is no way she could without flat out lying her ass off. Or without calling GLBT folk monsters of some kind.

I'm surprised that she is proud of the fact that her kindergartener can't string together a more intelligent sentence.

Probably is still better than the stunted, home-schooled brood that they're accustomed to, so "McDonald's is bad" might be brilliant by comparison!

Its not about hiring policies, its about how they dont want corporate America to donate to pro-equality causes.

Thanks to this boycott I ordered another extra value meal. /cheer

Maybe the TVC and FOF will boycott a gym chain and then i'll go get fit. :)

You know in 15 years (if not sooner) that kid is going to be sitting in rehab whining about his mother took away McDonalds from him.

My five year old called it Old McDonalds up to age 3 and 1/2. If her son's calling it Old McDonalds in Kindergarden (at age 5 or 6), he must have some developmental issues; much like his mom.

LOL Steve - I was thinking the same thing. Kids are sharper than most people give them credit - myself, I was a bookworm BEFORE kindergarden.

This kid of Lafferty's sounds more like he burns books, and is being forced into having his own little political agenda at that age. Too bad he's just in kindergarden, as I surmise he's got a miserable 12-13ish years to deal with that crazy lady!

But she might be making all of this up (including the "bounding" kid), as most "pro family" leaders do about their allegedly happy lives. I've always thought the woman was a frigid lesbian.

I know this may seem small and petty, since reality's never gotten in their way yet, but...no McDonald's employee, male or female or male-born or female-born, looks like that at work. You have to pull your hair back and wear an androgynous uniform that contains much too much polyester. You have to wear a cap. An excess of makeup will sweat off your face and really get into your pores if you have to grill or fry anything. I KNOW there are other issues here, but this just gets to me, because so many people work or have worked at or know someone who works at McDonald's! I'm like, "Do they *really* think so little of the American people, including their own contributors?"

And then I slap myself for being stupid enough to ask that question.

I say this as a woman-born woman who worked at a McDonald's ten years ago.
