Do you own McDonald’s stock?  Does this company represent your values?  Does it bother you that the fast food giant is promoting homosexuality?  You DO have other “choices”  If you do not agree with McDonald’s position on homosexuality (coming from a company that claims to be pro-family), take a stand!  Take the time to eat elsewhere (it’s probably healthier) and invest elsewhere (know where you’re investing and make new choices).  In the faith-based investing news today:

“Art Ally, president of Timothy Plan, a pro-family values mutual fund company says the extreme actions of McDonald’s have forced the investment firm to publicly clarify that its portfolios won’t include any stock in the worldwide hamburger retailer.

Timothy Plan’s investing includes screening of companies whose revenues or actions support pornography, abortion, anti-family entertainment, or promoting non-married lifestyles. But Art Ally, president of the investment company, says his group normally does not spotlight or publish notices on businesses they screen out. In this case, however, he says the Timothy Plan could not stay silent when McDonald’s went “over the edge.”

“McDonald’s actually has been on our screen or prohibited list since 1999 — so this is nothing new,” says Ally. “What is new is the aggressive approach that they’re moving to, in promoting and supporting the homosexual agenda.”

How aggressive? The fast-food giant’s $20,000 donation to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce for a seat on its board of directors, and labeling of those who oppose the homosexual agenda as “haters” — both of which Ally says marked an extreme step up from sponsorship of TV programs and movies with anti-family and pornographic entertainment. Those actions, coupled with offering its employees transgender health benefits, have kept McDonald’s out of Timothy Plan investments to this point, according to Ally.

He believes corporate officials at McDonald’s are shirking their responsibility to make money for shareholders, by alienating the company’s large “family-oriented” customer base with support of the homosexual agenda.”
