ANTI-GAY GROUP CALLS FOR A BOYCOTT OF COCA-COLA

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Christian fundamentalist group American Family Association (AFA) has again reared it ugly anti-gay head by calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola.

Earlier the group urged its members not to accept mail that is postmarked with the Harvey Milk stamp, saying that the late first openly-gay elected politician fom San Francisco does not deserve to be memorialized in a postage stamp.image

Today, the AFA called on its members and the consuming public to stop buying Coke products, or if they absolutely need to drink soda, to buy Pepsi instead.

It’s all about Coke’s extremely popular summer marketing campaign in which coke bottles are personalized with common names of people like Jane, Chris or Paul.

Well, it has come to the attention of AFA that Coca-Cola has been producing a lot of coke bottles with the names Adam and Steve.  Placed side by side, these two bottles become an affront to the biblical characters Adam and Eve. “We’ve always maintained that God created man and woman, Adam and Eve, not man and man, Adam and Steve,” an AFA spokesperson said.

Coca-Cola has not returned calls from The Adobo Chronicles seeking comment on the boycott.
