Well, well, well it seems McDonald's is not only an evil, multi-national that kills innocent people for nasty profit - but it now hates gay people as well!
Gay activists say the golden arches hamburger chain can also add to its list of evil-doings - homophobia - after it blocked access to gay websites from McDonalds new free Wi-Fi service at its New Zealand restaurants.
According to some in Pink Mafia, people trying to access website GayNZ.com while enjoying their burger and fries at McDonalds, discovered they could not get the site. This obviously ruined their whole dining experience.
It led these latest victims of self-declared prejudice to mince off to the media demanding the fast-food giant - which offers free Wi-Fi access in 132 of its restaurants nationwide - to grant them immediate access to surf gay sites at their restaurants or be labelled haters!
However, McDonald's said it was a family restaurant chain, and as part of offering the Wi-Fi service, its policy was that content must be of a family friendly nature, or suitable for a child to view.
Fair enough, one would have thought! After all, surely McDonalds is allowed to say what kind of websites can be accessed in its restaurants to go along with its ‘family-friendly’ reputation?
No so! Apparently there are hordes of outraged gays and lesbians queuing up outside McDonalds wanting to devour thier Happy Meals and read such family friendly and wholesome articles - which currently appear on this website - like: “New call for ban on bareback porn production”. Or a story laden with F-words about two gay men threatened with being beaten up on Ponsonby Road.
All good family friendly stuff – not! Can you imagine a kid asking: “Mum, what is bareback porn?” This kind of stuff could end up giving Ronald McDonald a heart attack!
There are also numerous suggestive adverts and photographs on the site, which even the Pink Mafia, would be hard pressed to describe as family friendly. The McDonald's policy also blocks access to Family Planning, Rainbow Youth, Agender and other websites.
I am guessing these sites are also banned because the blocking program McDonalds uses comes across similar un-family themes as those on GayNZ.com and refuses access to them.
What’s the bet, those ‘outraged’ in the gay community about this block are the same killjoys and permanent victims who kicked up a stink about the Air New Zealand safety video in which they claimed the gay, male steward being turned down a kiss from All Black Richard Kahui would lead to more suicides of young gay men!
It is time these gay activists lightened up and worried more about the issues of real concern to the gay community, rather than if they can still surf their favourite sites while at McDonalds.
