I’m not lovin’ it.

McDonald’s sent 56 of its employees to San Diego earlier this year to attend a conference on promoting homosexuality within the company.

The Pioneer Summit, created and organized by McDonald’s, addressed topics such as how to protect employees’ “gender identity and expression” and how to handle “transitions” among employees.

McDonald’s also recently paid $20,000 to become a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Its vice president of communications was appointed to the chamber’s board of directors in April.

“McDonald’s built its business by catering to families — with Happy Meals and children’s play areas,” said Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family. “Now they are supporting a radical social agenda that seeks to deconstruct gender and promote homosexuality as a healthy expression of human sexuality.” 

The fast-food giant poured $15,000 into the recent  Out & Equal Workplace Summit, and also supported this year’s gay-pride parade in San Francisco.

There are plenty of fast food restaurants that don’t support an immoral lifestyle (Chick-Fil-A, for one). McDonald’s needs to pay a price for encouraging homosexuality and that price should be economic.
