Hate Group AFA Wants Burger King, Boost Mobile, Subway and Taco Bell to Boycott Glee

Osama Bin Laden may be dead, but America's version of hate filled religious extremists are alive and well at the registered hate group, American Family Association ("AFA"), which as America Blog Gay reports is trying to pressure Burger King, Boost Mobile, Subway and Taco Bell to drop their advertising on Glee, the hit TV show that puts a positive focus on LGBT characters. There's truly little love in the Gospel message according to AFA which also demonizes blacks, Hispanics and of course Jews in its demagoguery. One can hope that these corporations will do some homework before capitulating to the forces of hatred at AFA. Here are highlights of John Aravosis' thoughts on the AFA effort:
*
A project of a known "hate group," the American Family Association, is asking Burger King, Boost Mobile, Subway and Taco Bell to stop advertising on GLEE because the show is just too positive about its portrayal of gay kids. No need to link to the AFA's alert - these companies know the hate group is targeting them.
*
I'm not going to belabor the point: Burger King, Boost Mobile, Subway and Taco Bell can either side with one of the most popular shows on TV for one of their key demographics, kids, or they can side with a known, officially-designated "hate group."
*
At some point, you have to tell hostage takers - especially ones who are avowed bigots (and anti-semites too) on the wrong side of history - especially ones that are running officially-designated hate groups - to take a hike. Ford did that to this same hate group a number of years ago (when Joe and I led a successful campaign beating the AFA at their own game). Ford simply told AFA to take a hike. Burger King, Boost Mobile, Subway and Taco Bell should do the same.

PS Those companies need to read the background on AFA before deciding. They're not just dealing with "Christian conservatives." They're dealing with extremists whose homophobic and anti-Semitic words would shock Americans of every stripe. These are not the kind of people you want your brand associated with.
