[...] AFA Targets PepsiCo The ironically named “American Family Association” has decided to target PepsiCo in retaliation for PepsiCo’s generous support of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). So, now would be a good time to call or e-mail each of those companies to let them know you support their respect for diversity and equality. You can get more info about that, including phone numbers here. [...]

Whoospie! Meant to say “Absolutely nothing wrong with that!”

“Well, then I don’t feel so bad about having a wild cherry pepsi 3 times a week.”

Absolutely nothing! I prefer the diet, but my grocery store is almost ALWAYS sold out, so I have to snatch them up whenever I find the opportunity. And to find out that this will tick off the AFA is a nice added bonus.

I had no idea that PepsiCo was so involved with the gay community, and it makes me want to buy more of their products knowing that my money is going toward a good cause. (Thank you to the AFA for making me aware of that!)

I did call Pepsi to thank them, and while I was at it, I used the opportunity to ask them to make a diet version of their Game Fuel when they put it out next year.

[...] A year or so ago, Pepsi Cola Company gave a substantial grant to PFLAG (Parents & Friends of Lesbians and Gays). In response, the American Family Association has launched a boycott of Pepsi and a hate-call campaign. For more info, visit the Box Turtle Bulletin Review. [...]

Why not call the AFA also, to tell them how you disagree with the boycott. At the very least it will eat up some of their money from the toll free call and their call center people salaries/

I just left a message with Pepsi’s consumer affairs department. I let the woman know how important their support is for young gay men and women who are wrestling with being gay and finding ways to manage their relationships with their families. I let them know that the religious right can get on the 700 Club and generate lots of negative feedback, but they are fringe. I also posted your info on my blog at http://www.501cweb.com. Thanks for bring this to my attention. Pepsi rocks!

I’ll try to make the calls soon. I just forwarded all the numbers to my mother in Kansas, though. She LOVES talking to people on the phone, and just a few months ago (after seeing Prayers for Bobby) she decided to show her support for gays by attending meeting and getting involved with the PFLAG chapter in her area, so I’m sure she’ll be fired up about this.

Go Mom. :)

I’ve just called each of these companies to thank them. Each time the operator was very grateful for my call.

I just spoke to Frito Lay. They have been getting no calls from us, plenty from those other people.

Time to get on the horn.
