Boycott Pepsi
February 24th, 2009The McDonald’s boycott worked, now it’s time to boycott Pepsi.
- Pepsi has produced TV ads that not only promote Pepsi but also promote the gay lifestyle.
- Pepsi gave a total of $1,000,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) to promote the homosexual lifestyle in the workplace.
- Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, which received $500,000 from Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Proposition 8.

- Pepsi is a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

However, as I was mixing my Gatorade yesterday, I had a strange feeling that I should check who makes it. I don’t know why I never checked this before. It turns out that PepsiCo owns Gatorade, and I’ve boycotted PepsiCo products. [...]
