The fast-food chain says it will post a video online Wednesday that shows scenes from a San Francisco location where it sold a “Proud Whopper.” Customers were not told what is in the burger, which comes wrapped in rainbow paper. Once opened up, a message inside the wrapper states, “We are all the same inside.”

Not that Burger King was on my favorites list to begin with, but for sure, they are not now. I guess the “King” is really a queen.

Eww. That just sounds gross. The last thing I’d want to think about while having a burger in a fast-food joint is the imagery of a bunch of creepy damned homos. Just reeks of filth and disease.

Burger King can take its faggot-burger and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine (which, would be ironically appropriate, come to think of it).
