Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk by interviewing Tim Wildmon, President of the American Family Association. Tim reviewed the events leading up to the latest call for a boycott of McDonald's.
McDonald's admitted they made a $20,000 contribution to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and they were given a seat on the NGLCC board of directors. While McDonald's has tried to couch this as being about tolerance and diversity, AFA was concerned that this was about taking sides in the culture war rather then remaining neutral. According to Tim, McDonald's believes that disagreement with their pro-homosexual position amounts to hate.
While this shows how McDonald's has decided to dig their heels in on this issue, they aren't the only corporation putting the weight of their corporate name behind the homosexual political and social agenda. After listing other corporations showing such support, Jim opened the phone lines to obtain listener feedback on this vital issue.
Jim also reported on two other stories. The first one involved a multi million dollar lawsuit being levied by a homosexual man against two Bible publishers: Zondervan and Thomas Nelson. The suit alleges that the Bible versions printed by these companies caused the homosexual emotional pain because they refer to homosexuality as a sin.
The final story presented information about a lawsuit against a wedding photographer in New Mexico. The photographer was declared guilty of discrimination for declining to shoot photos of a homosexual dedication ceremony.
