beware--fundie news site

An Indiana bakery has pulled a large ad campaign from a trade magazine in response to the publication's decision to run a pro-homosexual editorial.

For years Ellison Bakery has advertised extensively in Dairy Field magazine, a trade publication for the dairy industry. Recently, however, Dairy Field ran an editorial critical of conservative pro-family groups such as the American Family Association for censuring Kraft Foods for its pro-homosexual policies. AFA has particularly targeted Kraft lately because of the food company's sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.

Upon seeing the editorial criticizing the pro-family group, Ellison Bakery general manager Todd Wallin quickly pulled the company's $20,000 advertising account from the magazine. "This is not a personal attack against people who have chosen this type of lifestyle," he hastens to explain, adding that homosexuals, like all people "are created in the image of God." Nevertheless, the executive adds, "I don't support things that would promote people making those bad choices."

Never heard of them...but I think I'll not click on that link to find out. Maybe we all should stop clicking on the hatemongers' websites. If web hits are an indicator of a site's popularity or success, why give them any help? Find some links to neutral or pro-gay sites instead.

FYI, I saw this last week, and checked out the company. They apparently make ingredients for other cookie companies to use, including Archway cookies (which just went on my personal boycott list).
