Canadian icon Tim Hortons is sponsoring an anti-LGBT group in the US. Why is an organization that's so "Canadian" supporting an organization of hate??? Canadian's, in general, are not a hateful bunch--I mean we have same sex marriage rights!
Timmies is sponsoring a rally in Maine next week hosted by the National Organization for Marriage. Their logo is said to be proudly displayed on the brochure for the event.
The Providence Daily has this to say:
Yes, Tim Hortons. The Dunkin Donuts of Canada. You know, Canada — where same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since 2005 (and since 2003 in Tim’s home, Ontario). What in the world are they doing sponsoring something like this? Their site says that they support “local initiatives that make a difference” — such as little leagues, Halloween safety, and the like. And that they sponsor community initiatives with a focus on “helping children and supporting fundraising events for non-profit organizations and registered charities.” But not “those representing religious groups [or] political affiliates,” such as.. well, how would you characterize a group like NOM?
I would like to offer credit to Change.org's gay rights blog, where I was informed of this. http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/urge_tim_hortons_to_stop_supporting_anti-lgbt_group.
Also, I apologize for very infrequent blogging over the summer. I've been working a lot and trying to squeeze in some personal time (I managed to make it to Vancouver for Pride!!). I promise more frequent posts soon :). <3
