Evangelist Joshua Feuerstein Calls for Boycott of McDonald's Over 'Disgusting' Gay Pride Fries

Evangelist Joshua Feuerstein, a former pastor who has over two million followers on Facebook, has called on Christians to boycott fast food giant McDonald's over its new rainbow colored gay pride french fry boxes. He also slammed Macy's support for gay pride month.

"DISGUSTING! McDonald's released their RAINBOW FRIES today in honor of GAY PRIDE!" Feuerstein wrote in a Facebook message on Friday, sharing a photo of the new french fry boxes in question.

"I'm tired of corporations trying to influence our families like this. SHARE THIS and let people know to STOP EATING at McDonalds! Plus, their food is crap. Really," he added.

According to Fox News, the gay pride boxes will be available at three McDonald's restaurants in Washington, D.C., between June 9 and 11. The McDonald's Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C., is a sponsor of the Capital Pride Alliance.

Cathy Martin, co-chair of the McDonald's PRIDE Network and vice president/general manager of McDonald's Baltimore Washington Region, said in a pess release that the fry boxes "are a fun way to show our support of the LGBTQ community using one of McDonald's most iconic and recognizable items; however, these fry boxes are 'small potatoes' in the grand scheme of our commitment to this community.

Anything that pisses off Josh Feuerstein is fine with me...and those new Maple Bacon Dijon burgers are pretty good.

Our entire organization celebrates June as Gay Pride Month and supports LGBTQ all year long. Never heard a complaint.

I don't think his other target for a boycott - freakin' STARBUCKS! - suffered any harm because their holiday cups weren't holiday enough (more disturbingly, they were selling polar bear cookies with red scarves that looked more like someone had slit their throats, but I digress). He must really think God listens to him if McDonalds is going to suffer.
