The Success of AFA’s Ford Boycott Is a Disney-esque Fairy Tale
Yes, I’d like to know just what these “offensive advertisements” consist of. Not having seen one, I’d assume they’re along the lines of two men or women riding in a car together, looking happy. Or maybe even (those of you with sensitive dispositions may wish to avert your eyes) holding hands.
Call me obtuse, but I don’t see what all the fuss about. What I do see is an essential difference between gay and anti-gay activists. By and large, gay activists don’t believe everyone in society should be like them. There are no vast, organized networks of “ex-straight” groups dedicated to using the power of faith (in Barbra and Cher, perhaps) to convert hesitant heterosexuals to a lifetime of gay abandon.
The only coercion I can see is among those who use their faith as a bludgeon to force others to observe their codes of behavior.
