CHICAGO, May 11, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Kraft Foods, makers of popular products like Macaroni and Cheese, Kraft Singles, Oreo cookies, Maxwell House coffee, and Ritz Crackers is a sponsor of the 2006 Gay Olympic Games in Chicago, according to an e-mail release from Donald E. Wildmon, Chairman of the American Family Association.
Kraft has also authorized that its company logo be placed on the gay games official website as a major corporate sponsor.
A spokesman for Kraft told outsports.com that the company plans to sponsor the Gay Games despite AFA’s opposition, scheduled for July 15-22, 2006 in Chicago. Kraft is among a contingent of 70 companies sponsoring the event, which runs every four years.
A Wall Street Journal article revealed the success of the last AFA boycott of Proctor & Gamble for that company’s support for same-sex marriage legislation and for spending of millions of dollars in advertising on homosexual oriented television. The AFA told WSJs Alan Murray that, “360,000 families signed petitions to boycott P&G products. Subsequently, P&G's advertising disappeared from gay magazines and Web sites and gay-oriented television shows.”
The AFA is urging all concerned to take action: “Tell Kraft to drop their corporate sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago,” Wildmon urged. “Kraft is ignoring emails. Please make a personal phone call to Kraft and tell them to pull their financial support from the 2006 Gay Games.”
Their toll-free number is 1-800-323-0768
