    This is HYSTERICAL. Hey folks, we ain't saying this S, we just report it!!
    .

    The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer voiced his concern on Friday over the idea that a new Burger King item honoring LGBT Pride events in San Francisco could be sold in other parts of the country, Right Wing Watch reported.

    “If this isn’t bottled up in San Francisco, this kind of nonsense, then it’s going to be spreading across the entire fruited plain,” Fischer complained. “And you’re going to be going to your Burger King in Des Moines, Iowa and you’re going to have a rainbow color wrapper for your Whopper.”

    The burger chain featured the “Proud Whopper” earlier this month at one San Francisco location, bearing rainbow-colored packaging and the phrase, “We are all the same inside” on the inside of the wrapper. The company also posted a video of people ordering and reacting to the promotion.

    He used the words fruited plain in the same sentence as gay burger? If these guys only knew what jokes they were.

    And here's the new meme: a rainbow color wrapper for your Whopper. Yeah Bryan, I've used a few of those in my lifetime.

    Last thread on this got closed, probably because of some of the responses.

    Yep! There are PRIORITIES and then there are PRIORITIES.

    (Having said that, there's a lot of science on the use of colors to surround food with, packaging, plates, print ads, etc. Bottom line, I'd have to see the wrapper, rainbow colors and hamburgers--not so much. The saying is great though, WE ARE ALL THE SAME INSIDE).

    - - - Updated - - -

    Didn't see it. No one has to make any 'unsavory' responses, the stupidity speaks for itself.

    maybe BK will put a crucifix wrapper on it next. Do you think there's a chance of that happening?

    My money would be on...........not on your life

    Since BK feels the need to insert itself into the support of homosexual sex then I've eaten my last Whopper. If they decide to be equal and put something for heterosexuals or Christians then I'll go there again

    Yes because heterosexual Christians are so discriminated against that they need the moral support of burger king to help turn around such persecution.

    huh?

    how does a traditional wrapper on a burger give any message?

    Once you decide to put a wrapper which shows support of homosexual sex, that is a very specific statement

    BK will need to feel the effects of that decision.

    Again, a very specific message

    MOD EDIT - OFF TOPIC

    Poster's signature to above is below (I guess I never read his/her's before).... RELIGIOUS BIGOT ON BOARD...

    A moral grounding in the Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or Catholic faith serves as an intellectual blinder, a disability in administering justice

    Holy Mother of God, pray for us bigots, now and at the hour of our death. AMEN

    I can't pass up a pitch that slow. With those you just have to swing away.

    BK can do whatever they want. If you don't like it then don't eat there. BK knows that this promotion will surely alienate some of their customers but they chose to do it anyway so if they are willing to take the financial hit for what they believe in then more power to them. Your main voice in this matter will be in the form of the dollar bill. If you care then don't eat there, if you don't care then eat there. It's that simple.

    yes it is a burger wrapper

    a wrapper with a very specific message. They chose to convey that very specific message which means support of the lifestyle

    I provided pictures which show the stark contrast between 2 lifestyles. BK chose homosexual so as a business they are choosing to show support for one specific sexual lifestyle vs just being generic with a generic wrapper.

    What's next? Maybe a Harvey Milk cup which would be supporting homosexual sex by adult males with 16 year old boys


    http://www.starobserver.com.au/news/milk-pedophile-claim/53254
    a pro Milk article but it must admit the relationship

    In 1964, in his early 30s, Milk began a relationship with Jack McKinley, a theatrical stage manager who was 16 years old when they met in New York.


    So, when BK wishes to embrace the homosexual lifestyle they are embracing all of it

    At the risk of getting 'LEGAL' here Aren't Burger Kings franchised?? Is a franchise owner in Des Moines gonna have to put a "(*)(*)(*)-wrapper" on the burgers he sells? I mean we are talking CAPITALISM here. My neighbor was a LOBBYIST for the fast food industry--they spend BILLIONS on lobbying. My community (RAGING RED REPUBLICAN) voted 3 times to keep a McDonalds from opening up near a congested street. GUESS WHO WON??

    One 'ass' (pun intended) should have HIS remark removed. Unless, of course, the whole thread went down the toilet.

    Yeah, this one is a real turn off. Restaurants shouldn't be sending these kind of messages...just serve food. It was bad enough when it happened just as a 1 week-in 1 city thing....but if they're going to roll this out further, and run on that new "be your way" slogan...I'll pass. As much as I like some of BK's offerings, I'll take the extra 10 minute drive to Wendys or hit McDonalds.

    Making sandwiches around being Gay? Yeah...thats stepping too far for me BK.

    I don't see what anyone finds gay about slipping a huge piece of meat between two fresh buns.

    Yeah but when one person starts with the immature responses then others tend to join in thinking that it's acceptable and the thread goes down hill.

    Sorry bout my post. Was wrong. I came on this site pretty neutral on most. Im strong 2 nd amend. Dont hate anyone race, sexuality, color for cryin out loud. But some of these left posters really get under my skin. And instead of contributing to any kind of deba i lash out and sometimes aim to hurt. So sorry. I think our entire gov. And the country is like this. And i wonder could a start to a solution be a simple sorry. Lets talk and come together for a solution to some big problems. I think most americans want the same things pretty much... R's and D's ... blues n reds just keep us fightin. Peace

    Oh My Goodness. This is sad. The NONSENSE that people are afraid of.
    I'm going to assume that NO ONE will be pointing a gun at anyone's head FORCING them to bye it.
