		<description>The American Family Association were behind the recent furor over the Heinz Deli-Mayo commercial which only aired in the UK. After 200 or so complaints, Heinz caved. The commercial was gay positive, showing us as a family. What got their panties in a bunch, was the sight of two men exchanging a split second quick peck on the lips.
 
They AFA ended a boycott of Disney and Ford after they failed to get them to comply with their homophobic agenda. 
 
We must not let the powers that be at McDonald&#039;s, or any company, to only hear the voices of the AFA. I&#039;ve already contacted McDonalds to thank them for their continued support and sent an action alert to our members to do the same. McDonald&#039;s is standing strong, however, we have seem many other companies cave to the pressure from the AFA. We can ill afford to allow the AFA to continue bullying gay-friendly companies without putting up a fight and having our voices heard as well. So, what are you wating for contact McDonald&#039;s at: http://www.mcdonalds.com/contact/contact_us.html or call them at 1-800-244-6227, do it now!

		<description>Jason:  McDonald&#039;s did have a majority stake in the restaurant at one time, but they since divested themselves of it back in 2006.  So, they&#039;re no longer connected to Chipotle.  

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/other_business/article/0,2777,DRMN_23916_5233690,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.rockymountainnews...._23916_5233690,00.html&lt;/a&gt;

(The sharp threads of Chipotle founder Steve Ells&#039; photo makes me wonder if he&#039;s fabulously gay, but that&#039;s just me.  I like the glasses, though.)

But more to the point... yes, their burritos are yummy.</description>
