Eating Kraft Makes You Queer
by Lee
The fundamentalist lunatics over at the American Family Association are calling for a boycott of Kraft Foods. Why? Because Kraft is a sponsor of the Gay Games.
Kraft Foods, makers of popular products like Macaroni and Cheese, Kraft Singles, Oreo cookies, Maxwell House coffee, and Ritz Crackers is a sponsor of the 2006 Gay Olympic Games in Chicago.
Click Here to see their sponsorship commitment for yourself.
The gay games are supported and endorsed by dozens of homosexual activist groups and organizations, including homosexual magazines and television outlets.
Tell Kraft to drop their corporate sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.
Take Action
Please make a personal phone call to Kraft and tell them to pull their financial support from the 2006 Gay Games.
Now, I think the whole concept of the gay games is pretty stupid, like the Miss Black America pageant. It’s not like gays are excluded from competing in regular athletic events. But, ultimately, who cares? If a group of gay folks wants to throw an event, it’s no skin off my ass. And if Kraft wants to tap into some of the billions of dollars of revenue that these eeeeeeeeevil queer gay homos have the audacity to pour into our economy every year then power to them. Not approving of a homosexual lifestyle is one thing. Going out of your way to try to marginalize a gay event that will not impact your life one iota is just pathetic. I mean, it’s not like Kraft is donating money to al Qaeda for God’s sake.
One final note, though. Take a look at the logo for the gay games.
Remind you of anyone? Perhaps the Gay Games knows something about Stewie Griffin that the rest of us do not?

Oh GAWD!
It’s stuff like this that makes me despise the Nutters Religious Right as much the Lefty Moonbats.
How do you prove that you are gay? Do you have to bang a judge in the ass before you can compete? There is no urine test that I know of.
i’m no big fan of Kraft’s cheese, but i cannot live without Oreo cookies.

i agree! what’s with the line “It’s not like gays are excluded from competing in regular athletic events.”? do the gay games have nonregular athletic events? if so, what are they?
these kinds of events simply draw attention to the differences that everyone is trying so hard to ignore (as far as benefits and laws and stuff). i mean, ideally the goverment could treat everyone equally while we the citizens sit around and point out and celebrate our differences, but for now, these games just seem to me to say “look at me! i’m gay! treat me weird!”
it would be interesting to hear the opinions of homosexuals that think these games are a dumb idea too.
all in all though, i think it’s pretty stupid to boycott Kraft Foods. no way i’m skipping my Oreo’s at lunch today!
like there aren’t enough things to protest in this country
The have to boycott Viacom to be consistent. Afterall Nickelodeon has been pimping that little Hey Arnold kid.
I think them gays are just plain greedy and maybe a bit insecure, needing their own games. Don’t they have enough gay events in the Olympics. Gymnastics, figure skating, bobsled.
seriously. let’s protest something worthwhile. what do you think?
actually, let’s promote things we want instead. i think that’s a better idea. let’s not while about what we don’t like, let’s push for things that will change what we don’t like.
lots of money and think tanks lead up to the momentous repubilcan takeover of our government (hooray!) let’s keep pushing.
i, for one, would LOVE to see Bolton in place as the representative to the UN. the dems need 6 republicans to vote against him (assuming no dems vote for him) in the senate, and i’m keeping my fingers crossed that that won’t happen. Bolton knows how useless the UN currently is, and i think he’s the right man for the job. do people agree? let’s hear it.

for some reason, that didn’t sound right. What I meant by that was that this event is going to bring people(i.e cash) into this city for an event that will provide entertainment, and encourages exercise, but it might turn some people on in the process.
People are just protest happy these days.
Oh, like Stewie isn’t gay? Girl, please! If he was any gayer, he’d be living in Spokane.

Oh, like Stewie isn’t gay?
He’s shown interest in chicks, so I’m guessing he’s bi. A very evil bi. And he probably eats lots of gay cheese.
Sounds like getting even for St. Pat’s Day in Boston. There’s more here than it looks like.
GAY GAMES? Jesus Titty Fucking Christ.
Reading that homo site reminds me why so many gays are just asking to be ridiculed. Makes me feel sorry for the good ‘ol gays that have to put up with this shit.
And on that “Christian” site I’m being asked to give money in order to look at a freaking brochure.
And why did God, The Devil and Bob get cancelled? I heard it was because some “christian” zealots though the truth is probably that it just didn’t do very well in the ratings. If it’s true that some nutty Christians managed to get the show canned then <clap> <clap> it’s one of the most conservative shows I’ve ever seen. Nice one.
And can a bisexual join in in the Gay Games? Or do they get their own games?
How do you prove that you are gay?
Kind of reminds me of Cartman entering the Special Olympics.
That had to be one of the funniest damn episodes ever, till I saw the “whore-off” between Mr. Slave and Paris Hilton.
It’s the events that bother me the most. Can you imagine what the long jump would be at the gay games? The pole vault? And God forbid they actually show the Greco-Wrestling event, and I don’t even want to know how the shot-put is going to be addressed.......
I think the whole concept of the gay games is pretty stupid, like the Miss Black America pageant. It’s not like gays are excluded from competing in regular athletic events.
Logically, you would then also have to ban the Highland games, as it discriminates against people who don’t like wearing kilts and playing the bagpipes. I suspect Drumwaster might not appreciate this suggestion.
when the gold medalists’ performances fail to top the top performers in the regular olympics, people are going to start reseaching whether or not being straight helps your athleticism.
you think?
I suspect Drumwaster might not appreciate this suggestion.
John Cross is the one who belongs to the Bagpipe band. I think people playing the bagpipes looks and sounds like a man with a cat under his arm, its tail in his mouth, and he is biting down. But to each his own (hell, I played the Sousaphone for a while - that’s the big monster you see in marching bands and mistakenly think “tuba").
Well as soon as i see other outlets for Caber toss i’ll consider canceling the highlander games.
I wonder if they got Lamar for the Javelin throw.
“Wormser is a master of aerodynamics. He has engineered the javelin to complement Lamar’s limp-wristed throwing style.”
Maybe they have a javelin catch competition. That i might watch.
Drum played the Sousaphone? Doesn’t Drum realize that’s the instrument of international gayery?
And the special Olympics episode was one of the funniest for sure, him watching rap videos in slow motion to learn to act like he was “challenged”.
And hey, what the fuck is wrong with my state that we can’t have a regular Olympics, but have to have a gay Olympics instead?
Does this mean i have to boycot pink magazine too?
At least you’re not in Ohio, Aaron.

Two of my all-time favorite movie quotes:
“This is OHIO. If you’re not carrying a brewski in your hand you might as well be wearing a dress.”
Later...two cops examining the dead bodies of two high school jocks. One cop pulls bottled water out of the jock’s backpack:
“Hey, that’s Kurt Kelly!”
“And the linebacker Ram Sweeney.”
“My god, suicide. Why?”
“Does this answer your question?” [shows him the bottle of mineral water]
“Oh man, they were fags!”
How terribly devisive that the Gay Games committee would come up with a logo that simply reinforces standard mysogonistic gender stereotypes by segregating the female athlete into her own part of the logo and putting her in a submissive role by dressing her in pig tails and a sports bra. Aren’t we evolved enough to stop seperating people into neat little groups based on things like sexual organs? It makes me ashamed to share the species with such narrow-minded bigots that feel such division is necessary.
I doubt if there is any kind a prohibition on straight athletes playing in the Gay Games. It’s just that most straight (male) athletes are so insecure, they wouldn’t participate because, heaven forbid, someone might mistake them for gay.
or hit on them.
Right, and apparently the straight guys don’t know the phrase “no, thanks”.
One of the later eps of FG with a commentary has even MacFarlane makes some comment like “..and here we see Stewie go from evil manic to even more gay.” or something like that. I think he made a joke about playing that angle more as time went on as well.
most straight (male) athletes are so insecure, they wouldn’t participate because, heaven forbid, someone might mistake them for gay.
generalization?
straight guys don’t know the phrase “no, thanks”.
another?
i can do that too: all girls are no good at everything.
ha ha, ok, i’m joking and i sincerely hope that doesn’t have to be offensive. just wanted to put that out there.
seriously though, just because i know the phrase “no thanks” doesn’t mean i would want to put myself in a situation where i’d have to USE it all the time. i’m not saying i’d have to turn down a lot of gay athletes (i don’t think i’m that attractive to guys) but my point is that i would not mind being mistaken for gay. i have been mistaken for gay (apparently i have a good sense of fashion). it’s no big deal. however, i am sure that a lot of people would be nervous going to these games as a hetero if they didn’t want to be hit on. i think there are probably a few lesbians who would rather not go to a singles bar that is predominantly straights and get unwelcome come-ons from guys all the time. i’ll bet they know how to say “no thanks” but they don’t go. is it because they don’t want to be mistaken as straight girls? no. i doubt it anyhow.
i’d be interested in hearing what you have to say about it though. i always enjoy getting views from others (especially if they aren’t a straight guy like me) on issues of gender and sexual preference.
i am sure that a lot of people would be nervous going to these games as a hetero if they didn’t want to be hit on.
I’m sure you’re right, but in my experience those fears are unfounded, that’s it’s based on the stereotype that gay men have this uncontrollable urge to seduce straight men, which just isn’t true. Are there some who fetishize straight guys? I’m sure there are, but most gays are only interested in someone who has the potential of being interested in them back.
that is a valid point. my counter-analogy above doesn’t hold water against this new point, because straight guys, for some reason, DO fetishize lesbian woman.
i don’t think that gay guys have a propensity to hit on straight guys. i DO think, however, if i were a gay athlete in the games i would assume that most of the other athletes there were also gay, and if they hit on any of the straight athletes, it would not be to “convert” a straight guy, but to find mutual interest from a guy mistaken for gay.
also, i think while most guys have dealt with unwanted attention from a female or two in their lives, most have never had to deal with unwanted attention from a homosexual guy. this new experience, undoubtedly, would be uncomfortable for most, and i think most would choose not to put themselves in a situation that increases the likelyhood of such an instance.
i’ve nothing against gay people, and could politely say “no thanks” to an unwanted come-on, but that doesn’t mean i’ll go to a gay bar for the drink specials.
I’ve never understood why a guy would be so freaked out being hit on by another guy. All you have to do is say “I’m straight” and that’s the end of that. I think there’s this common misconception that all gay men are such sex-crazed perverts that they can’t control their urges at the sight of another man. When I was living in SF I used to go to the gym, and the locker room was just like every other locker room, with guys walking around naked. Being SF I’m sure a lot of them were piledriving homos, and not once was anyone ever jerking off in the communal shower, nor were there any glory holes, nor guys walking around with erections. The best way I can describe it is this: are you sexually interested in every woman you meet? If you were walking and saw a bunch of naked women you found repulsive, would you be able to control your urges? Of course, and it’s more or less the same deal with most gay men. Sure there are a ton of gay-themed sex clubs, but you can’t honestly tell me that if there were a club where hetero men could go and have anonymous sex with numerous women that the clubs wouldn’t be packed to the rafters.
you’re a brave man, Lee. i think people have a HUGE advantage in becoming tolerant to things and people that are hot topics in our culture right now through exposure.
if you hang around with a bunch of gay guys at the gym, then suddenly it’s not so big a deal.
i married a girl with a lesbian sister and getting to know her, well, gosh, it’s just not so big a deal anymore! she’s really cool!
of course i didn’t think lesbians couldn’t be cool before, but the point is, is that exposure helps tolerance. is there application? beats me. maybe we ought to have gay hiring quotas at work. (that’s definitely a joke.)
I don’t know about cheese, but I always thought other dairy products-eggs and butter-were really gay.
I’ve been to gay bars a couple of times, and the first time my thought process was strange. I went from being nervous that I was going to get hit on, to being annoyed that I wasn’t getting hit on. I’m thinking “What the hell is wrong with me? Who wouldn’t want a piece of this??”
The second time I did get hit on by this guy who was completely hammered. After saying “No thanks, I’m straight,” I was thinking “Even if I were gay there’s no way I would be going home with you!” I think I gained a whole new perspective on how women react to men in bars.
Then my wife and I went home, and I made sure to re-assert my straightness by having passionate sex with her, but halfway through I mistakenly called her Ed.
I went from being nervous that I was going to get hit on, to being annoyed that I wasn’t getting hit on
Hahaha. I would’ve said “why aren’t you homos re-enforcing my stereo-typed views of you?!? Act gay-er dammit!!”
being SF I’m sure a lot of them were piledriving homos, and not once was anyone ever jerking off in the communal shower, nor were there any glory holes, nor guys walking around with erections.
Man I bet you were pissed. Didn’t you check the contract about those perks before you signed it?
They are also boycotting homo milk* (which is what “whole milk” is called up here. Shore for homogenized milk.)
*No, not really.. yet.
I say good for them, and while we’re at it, let’s have a Caucasian olympics, a heterolympics, etc. ad infinitum.
One more thing, if I eat Mac-N-Cheese while watching a gladiator movie, does that make me gay?
Depends if you would be eating the Mac&Cheese;no matter what you were watching or whether you would be watching the gladiator movie no matter what you were eating.
I would’ve said “why aren’t you homos re-enforcing my stereo-typed views of you?!? Act gay-er dammit!!
LOL..."You over there...I want to see more prancing! And sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”! And you! That shirt doesn’t match your pants! Queer Eye indeed!”
first thing: eggs are not dairy
second thing: when i was young and knew nothing about homosexuality i saw HOMO milk and called my brother a Homo. I got in trouble.
Turns out he really was gay.
Except he isn’t being that he is married with 3 children.
you’re a brave man, Lee. i think people have a HUGE advantage in becoming tolerant to things and people that are hot topics in our culture right now through exposure.
Wow. Enlightenment. Good for you.
"My God! Wouldn’t it be marvelous if I turned out to be a homosexual?”—Stewie Griffin
As a Chicago Queer I need to explain the importance of the Gay Games. Sure us homos can play in any sport that we choose competatively. However competative sports are one of the last strongholds of extreme homophobia. Besides how is a all male pairs figure skating couple gonna go over at the Olympics? The reason the Gay Games are called that is because the international olympic committe sued in order to keep the “integrity” of the name Olympic! Remember it is also a BIG PARTY with lots of queer sportos from around the world. What could be more fun! Nothing wrong with a confab of like minded individuals building community as far as I can tell.
Which events would be “gay-specific”, any why is this particular event so necessary to your emotional well-being?
Lee...great post!
Mark...your’s was very funny funny, shared it with the office.
Drum...From 15-22 July 2006, Chicago will play host to the world and welcome thousands of athletes, spectators and cultural participants into our homes, our hearts and our city for the seventh quadrennial Gay Games Sports and Cultural Festival. The Games will feature 12,000 participants, competition in 30 sports, world-class athletes and artists, band and choral performances, nightly medal ceremonies, a week-long arts festival, parties, and spectacular opening and closing ceremonies featuring entertainment, pageantry, and the parade of participants from more than 70 countries.
You sound like a fucking advertisement.
Good for you.
I guess.
Now, can you answer the question that I asked, instead of the one you actually answered?
What “gay-specific” events would be taking place that WON’T be taking place during the regular Olympics (or other international sporting competitions)? (If your only answer is “same-sex figure skating”, then you might as well concede that this is just more PC bullshit - a “Special Olympics” for those who can’t cut it in the real world.)
Uh how about the “gay easter egg hunt” held in Chicago last year?
I did some business with a liquor distributor who sent a ton of booze, tshirts, condoms(yes , with the booze logo on it)coolers etc.
How is this different from a regular easter egg hunt?
How is this different from a regular easter egg hunt?
Was it actually held on St. Patrick’s Day or something? :-o
No, it was held on easter sunday. My client spent a couple of thousand dollars to get it there overnight. I only see him when its rush rush.
So - nothing more than a chance for the gay community to get together and celebrate their gayness? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
I just wonder how loud the shrieks of indignation would be if we held the “Heterosexual Hoe-down” (or whatever).
Or White Entertainment Television.
Or the National Association for the Advancement of White People.
Or the White National Congress.
Or the National Organization of Men.
Or any of the other STRICTLY MINORITY groups that are allowed to use divisive terms, while decrying the reverse as “racist” or “bigoted”.
Hypocritical fucks.
I had a liberal friend that lost his mind one day after I asked him, why is White Power bad and Black Power good? He just kinda melted down. We don’t talk anymore.
Regarding the easter eggs, where do you suppose they hid them?
Something tells me “I don’t wanna know” would be my safest answer.
Gotta go to work, guys. Talk atcha l8r

Now please excuse me while I open my sandwich to make sure it contains only the correct heterosexual cheese that doesn’t sponsor gay games . . .
