\u2026 Stephanie Richer, the Digital Hairshirt<\/a>, asks a very interesting question. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seriously, does anyone think marketing fast food based on sexual orientation is appropriate? If you are gay, do you feel that lately you have become less of a person and more of a brand, or commodity?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just stick a rainbow on it and call it Pride and sell it to gays, who judging from their reactions in this video<\/a>, actually believe that Burger King \u2013 a corporation \u2013 cares about them. For what? To sell hamburger meat? <\/p>\n

Do you find being emotionally manipulated and exploited based on your sexual orientation just to sell second rate fast food insulting? And if not, why? <\/p>\n

Also, why is it OK for proceeds from the burger to be donated for scholarships to LGBT graduating high school seniors but not OK for Chick-fil-a to donate to Christian organizations of their own choosing? <\/p>\n

And what about legal ramifications? She also asks, <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026if this goes national and a franchisee refuses to sell these, will that open them up to ridicule, scorn, and possibly violence and litigation?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
