A corporate executive for McDonald's restaurants who had been on board of directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has stepped down following a boycott of the chain organized by the pro-family American Family Association.Even I didn't boycott Mickey D's over this.
McDonald's officials confirmed today to WND that Richard Ellis, who had been named to the "gay" chamber board after McDonald's contributed $20,000 to the organization, "made a personal decision to step down … after he accepted a new position … with McDonald's Restaurants of Canada."
McDonald's officials also told AFA that the company has no plans to renew its membership in the special interest group when it expires in December. - World Net Daily
