"Thirsting" after righteousness: Pepsi and the Gay rights movement

Hello all,

I wanted to share my thoughts on something I heard in the news today. Quite sad actually...Pepsi-Co. has donated $500,000 to "Straight for Equality" a program by Parents & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The program seeks to reach out to straight allies and educate them about LGBT issues.

Jacqueline Millan, Director of PepsiCo Corporate Contributions, said:"We are delighted to continue our partnership with PFLAG. The Straight for Equality in the Workplace training program is unique in that it is promoting the necessary message of inclusion to untapped groups within the local community, and that is a crucial step towards building a healthy working environment."

Millan goes on to say that she is not worried about the rebuttals that will come from conservative groups like the Christian community.

Folks, it's high-time we make her a little concerned. I am boycotting Pepsi and all products associated with the Pepsi-co. company. Here is a list of things sold by the Pepsi-Co.
Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Slice. Cola is not the company's only beverage: Pepsi sells Tropicana orange juice brands, Gatorade sports drink, and Aquafina water. The company also owns Frito-Lay, the world's #1 snack maker with offerings such as corn chips (Doritos, Fritos) and potato chips (Lay's, Ruffles). Its Quaker Foods division offers breakfast cereals (Life), pasta (Pasta Roni), rice (Rice-A-Roni).
