                 **PepsiCo sponsors four more gay pride parades**                                    
                                                                                         
                                [                   http://www.afa.net/images/helpusgrow.png](https://store.afa.net/pc-10000353-11-push-back-card-packs.aspx)                   June 18, 2009                 
                                



                              Following their sponsorship of the New York Gay Pride Parade scheduled for June 27, PepsiCo has agreed to sponsor four more gay pride parades – Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix and Cleveland. [Click here](http://www.boycottpepsico.com/) to see the kind of parade PepsiCo is sponsoring.
**PepsiCo shows its employees caught in this destructive and harmful lifestyle no compassion, no support to help them leave it. Rather,PepsiCo spends huge sums of money to promote the lifestyle. **
AFA has asked PepsiCo to be neutral in the culture war regarding the homosexual agenda and the legalization of homosexual marriage, but PepsiCo adamantly refuses to do so.
PepsiCo requires employees to attend sexual orientation and gender diversity training. It supports homosexual groups with gifts totaling over $1 million. PepsiCo refuses to give any money to groups such as Parents and Friends of Ex-Gay and Gays (PFOX) that work to help individuals change their sexual behavior.
Take Action! • Sign the Boycott Pepsi Pledge. After signing the pledge, please call Pepsi (914-253-2000 or 1-800-433-2652) and tell the company you will boycott its products until it stops promoting the homosexual agenda.
• Call the Pepsi bottler nearest you and ask it to stop supporting the homosexual agenda.
• Pepsi’s products include Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay chips and snacks (800-352-4477), Quaker Oats (800-367-6287), Tropicana (800-237-7799) and Gatorade (800-884-2867).
• Print the Boycott Pepsi Pledge and distribute it. • **Forward this e-mail to your friends and family **so they will know about Pepsi’s support of the homosexual agenda. Millions of people are not aware of Pepsi’s support of homosexual organizations.
 
just leave them alone please one cannot change his or her sexuality get over it for the last time now about it being harmful and destructive it isnt its all in gods plan, there is only the harm of their souls and spritual well being not ours not pepsico’s. pepsi is fine homosexual marriage WILL NEVER HAPPEN so they’re just wasting their money. and if obama tries it the senate and house of reps will shoot it down like they have done.
 
And another great example of how corporations are actually quite left wing.

I don’t drink soft drinks…but I’ll boycott them anyway 😉
 
About a year ago, in the Pepsi HQ in Chicago, employees were required to put up a sign reading “Gay Friendly Zone” at their desk / cubicle / office. Those that refused to put up the sign for religious reasons were told that they discriminating against homosexuals and threatened.
 
Can I at least drink Coke in peace now?😃 Please tell me yes.
Don’t like Pepsi much anyway.If Coke sponsors Gay Pride marches can I drink Cheerwine?🙂
I’ve already given up Maxwell House coffee for the same reasons…
 
I’m surprised companies such as Pepsi are willing to promote the “homosexual agenda,” when the majority of American citizens are not in favor of same-sex marriage. Even the most “liberal” of states such as California are not jumping on that band wagon…

Here is what is going on: activists get hired, they stay silent about orientation, they move up to positions of influence then they sell the policy makers that it is an issue of discrimination and tolerance. No one wants to discrimate or be tolerant now do they? So they have sold it as the right thing to do.

Then they overinflate the market potential by marketing to gays, which then funnels money into their publications and parades.

The policy makers have been duped.

It’s weird since homosexuals don’t reproduce.Well, at least not in the normal fashion.
Who’s going to drink all that Pepsi anyway?😉
You’d think they’d want to not alienate traditional families who have more kids-like Catholics & Mormons.

It is a way for the activists to get money moving into their war-chest. It is political.
 
No matter what it may be, it’s getting really annoying that the majority of people who support tradtional marriage are viewed as bigots
 
Buffalo, I agree with you. As my husband always says, it’s all about power and what the powerful know they can get away with. My guess is Pepsi counts on the fact that enough consumers won’t give up their product either because they are unaware about the company’s homosexual agenda or they just don’t care enough about this issue to boycott.
 
The solution is simply to not permit gay people and other sexual minorities to buy Pepsi products.

No - the solution is to petition Pepsi to remain neutral in the culture war. Just make good Pepsi products.
 
I heard about Pepsi using their money in this way several months ago on another thread on Catholic Answers, and stopped drinking Pepsi immediately and completely. I am a soft drink addict, and my wife tries to get me to drink water instead with little success.
Some weeks after I learned about Pepsi, I went to dinner with my wife to a Chinese restaurant. They had only Pepsi and the manager was surprised that my wife and myself would not drink it instead after asking for a Coke. She was Chinese and when I said I would not drink it because Pepsi supports gay groups she was surprised. Then she asked what gay means. When I told her it means homosexual, she didn’t know what this word means either. I still laugh about this. I presume that she found what these words mean from a family member, and I am sure she was horrified. Nor, I presume, did she like to have a customer not using the drink they have in her restaurant. I haven’t been back yet to see if they carry Coke now instead of Pepsi.
 
It’s not just about buying their drinks. They own much more and support many other businesses as well, racing teams, etc. If you really want to stop buying Pepsi, then you have to look at everything they are involved in. I’m not sure what other companies they own, but it’s something to look in to.

Thanks for the list! Makes it a little harder then, I’m not going to drink Pepsi now! Don’t they have something to do with Pizza Hut as well? I could be thinking of another company.

Yum Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silvers, and A&W Restaurants) used to be owned by Pepsico. They were spun off in 1997 (originally as Tricon Global). So these brands are no longer affiliated with Pepsi, other than the fact that they exclusively serve Pepsi products. As long as you don’t order a Pepsi with your pizza, Pepsico doesn’t profit if you visit Pizza Hut.

Okay, I was right that they had, at one time, been owned by Pepsi. I don’t drink pop at all, so really not a problem for me 😃
