, 22:40, June 20, 2009→Boycotts: Pepsico has been target
The American Family Assocation sponsored a boycott of [[McDonalds]] in mid 2008 for their choice to actively support gay marriage. That boycott ended on October 9th of the same year when McDonald's agreed to take a neutral position and avoid political controversies. A longer boycott against [[Ford]] ended in 2008 when the company took a neutral position on gay rights as well.

Currently, the AFA is boycotting Pepsico. A statement on boycottpepsico.com reads "AFA asked Pepsi to remain neutral in the culture war, but the company refused — choosing to support the [[homosexua]]l activists." Pepsico is a highly visible supporter of the gay community. <ref>[http://www.boycottpepsico.com/ boycottpepsico.com] A project of the American Family Association </ref>
