I just recently decided to boycott Heinz because they knuckled under to the American Family Association and removed a cute funny ad from British TV. I have been a feminist since I was 12 (that'll be 30 years next year) and see no contradiction between supporting employment rights by boycotting McDonalds and opposing the mindset that says gay kisses are offensive by boycotting Heinz.

I do find some of your views conflicting on your blog. I don't understand how you can claim to support feminism yet not support equal rights for lesbians by your choice of boycotting Heinz and McDonalds products. Your logic escapes me.

I want to add this, when you do go to McDonald’s and spend your money, let the owner/manager know that you are spending money there in protest of the AFA and WND boycott. We need to let McDonald’s know we are aware of the boycott and we are behind them in standing up to the hate mongers! Americans can do something about things if we are willing to make an effort.
