In all fairness, the mcdonalds is very likely a franchise or privately owned. And atty worth the paper his law degree is written on would have also sued mcdonalds.

Don’t forget Mcdonalds stood up to the AFA and are being boycotted because they have a gay executive that donated company funds to gay friendly organizations.

It is time to assist McD’s, if you want to eat their butt rot, by going in arm in arm. Maybe a little kissing also.

REALLY get their attention.

Oh, why am I not surprised to read this. And, unfortunately, it begs the question as to what the race of the McDonalds employees were who decided “they” were oh, so much better than the customers ordering lunch. Funny how it’s so often a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

The golden rule is to replace black for gay (with all slurs attached) and then judge. They should use that for their ‘diversity training’

“Diversity training”??? I can just see these idiot employees laughing all the way thru it. People that brazenly bigoted don’t even know the meaning of diversity. The true test of McDonald’s sincerity would be whether all of these employees were fired….but, then, this IS Kentucky! The conduct of these employees of a public business is so incredible, I cannot imagine any such business really interested in not allowing any evidence of bigotry to continue to employ such disreputable people.

Never personally eat at McDonalds or allow anyone in my entire family to eat at McDonalds ever! CHECK!

Never set foot in Kentucky! CHECK!

There certainly are hundreds, if not thousands, of other places I can patronize for dining and vacationing purposes that have no problems with LGBT people and I will gladly spend my hard earned gay dollars at those locales!

We boycotted Coors right? why dont we boycott McDonalds? Im sure it will get them to understand that gays are not one or two dudes in bar… but rather 10 – 15% of the american population!

I’m glad McDonalds got called out on this. They are corporate sociopaths and bullied a small activist group in London who pointed out the toxicity of their “food.” McDonald’s “won” the case but lost the respect of the British public (and neighbouring Europeans). McDonalds never bothered to collect their damages, by the way, and the activists don’t have the money anyway. McDonalds are closing down throughout France, Italy, Spain, Holland, and Germany as people understand the harm this corporation does to health, human dignity & the environment. I hope it happens here, but probably not since it’s the United States of Amnesia.

Guys, it’s counter-productive to work out at the gym and then gobble down a Big Mac. Do everyone a favour — boycott these jerks. Your health will improve, you won’t be subjected by homophobic remarks by their “employees.” A win-win scenario.

Rock on kids. Love it when people stand up for what is right. Like they said in the interview,” they are adults and can handle the name calling, but what if a young kid was attacked in that way. ”
I say it is about time someone told the rednecks, and I know not all rednecks are this way, that it is not ok to call someone names. Especially when you work in the customer service industry. No matter how you personally feel about gays and any other minority, you should not be spouting off in front of them. Everyone that was involved in this spat should have been fired. From the GM on down. But, that is just my opinion.
