Christian religion doesn't mean you have to hate gay people. This image is from the Christopher Street Day in Berlin, it shows the truck of the christian gays:

The banner on the left says something like: man-on-man, lesbian, confident, christian

The same can be said about religion and 'god'. As long as places like the Westboro Baptist Church exist, I think the world needs to come together and show we accept one another.  With that said, Kudos Oreos.

The question here is: Will what they did make you boycott Oreos?  Also, if you say yes, will then go forth and be involved with an active boycott of Oreos, to make your point heard?

Yeah, i have never heard of them, but even going 20 minutes west of here over the border into Ohio and you find a lot of suddenly-strange chains.

Well and I mean, outside being only in Arizona, to give you an example of just how crazy In-and Out burger is.

 

There official Menu looks like this.

Cheeseburger

French Fries.

Soda

Milkshake.

 

That's it... and there is ALWAYS a dozen or more people in line before you and about 10 people sitting down and standing by the drink area for their food.

It's not even like Five guys where they have a ton of different topings... it's just the regular burger toppings and that's about it.

 

If your ever out west it's worth going to just to see the lines.

Starbucks did a similar thing some time ago and came out in support of gay marriage, it worked out very well for them. I seem to remember that their brand popularity actually increased dramatically as a result of it - 30,000 people signed a petition in support of the boycott, but 650,000 people signed a counter petition in support of Starbucks.

This will probably be good for Oreos. They will temporarily lose a few bigoted customers but replace them tenfold with people who support them like Starbucks did, while offering their support to a very important social issue.

Your probably right... but it's worth noting that speciality coffee stores have a more liberal "Core demographic" then Oreos do.

Coffee shopts in general skewing left, and Starbucks always being known for being on the forefront supporting liberal causes, paying there workers well etc.

Oreo sales have declined which would suggest a more conservative base... and there are a bunch of other factors that would seem to lean that way as well... don't feel like fully researching it right now.

I think it may give them a bump, but not of the same level as Starbucks.   Only because I think most ore consumers will say "I don't agree, but who cares." and maybe they pick up some new buyers from the left to give them a try... if it becomes big enough they might be bought for specficic liberal events in the next month or so.

 

Though it might all end up beign completely ignored by the left and lead to a very slight negative dip if it turns out that shooting in Texas was motivated by homophobia.

I don't really like Oreos in the first place, and political stunts like this (which really do nothing at all, but try and grab attention) certainly do not motivate me to buy their product. And goodness, that's a ton of cream!

Sonic > In/Out Burger > Five Guys

Five Guys have defiantly lost their novelty, maybe because i'm from northern va and the company originated here.

Gross. Sonic has awful burgers. I'd sooner go to Wendy's and Burger King.

you can believe whatever you want, that's your right. inside the walls of your church you should be able to practise whatever crasy idea you want even if i don't like it.  but as an atheist, i'm just as tired have having christian believes shoved down my throat.  i don't belived in the sancity of the bible - stop using it to obstruct the freedoms that america what founded to protect. 

if you want to have your crazy ideas respected by me inside your home then please reconize you need to respect my crazy ideas inside of my home.

Thats how in and out was when they first came here to utah, but now they are just like any other fast food place.  The excitement is gone and with it the lines.  They do have pretty good burgers for fast food though, but personally im more partial to carls jr.  Especially since they have fry sauce, something that im guessing you guys know nothing about because it seems to be a utah only thing.
