Truly disgusting.

Another once solid All-American business wanting to go broke.

Gee, this was done last year. I'm surprised Ford lasted this long.

FORD’S ‘VERY GAY RAPTOR’ SET TO REDEFINE ‘TOUGH’ AT GOODWOOD

21-JUN-2022 | GOODWOOD, UK

* “Very Gay Raptor”’ (VGR) and Next-Gen Ranger Raptor to appear at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, reaffirming Ford’s long-term commitment to LGBTQ+ allyship

* Gareth Thomas to host live sessions of “Tough Talks”, talking to guests from the truck bed of VGR to help challenge stereotypes and initiate difficult conversations

* A new video released ahead of the event showcases the different personalities yet the same toughness and badass capabilities of VGR and next-gen Ranger Raptor

GOODWOOD, UK, June 21, 2022 – Ford will continue demonstrating its allyship with the LGBTQ+ community at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week, bringing “Very Gay Raptor” and the Next-Gen Ranger Raptor along for the ride.

The appearance of “Very Gay Raptor” at the event near Chichester, UK, will be used to further initiate important discussions and aimed at driving out discrimination in the automotive industry, and beyond. As part of this, Ford will be presenting live sessions of its new “Tough Talks” series at Goodwood from the truck bed of “Very Gay Raptor”, hosted by Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas, the first openly-gay rugby union player.

The sessions will explore how the automotive industry can foster a culture of inclusion and allyship for the LGBTQ+ community, covering a range of topics and featuring guests such as racing driver Abbie Eaton, comedian Catherine Bohart, and Lord March – the son of the Duke of Richmond, who founded the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.

Created in 2021, “Very Gay Raptor” was born in response to a negative comment on social media, with Ford rendering its most badass nameplate in sparkling gold adorned with rainbow graphics. The positive response online was so overwhelming the manufacturer decided to make it real, and has been using it as a tool to help drive out discrimination ever since.

In a video teasing the appearance of “Very Gay Raptor” and Next-Gen Ranger Raptor at the event, both vehicles speed through off-road trails covered in mud – at times taking different paths, facing off, yet displaying their equally impressive and tough abilities, regardless of their differing identities. 1

The Next-Gen Ranger Raptor, appearing for the first time as “Very Gay Raptor”, will make its European dynamic debut at Goodwood, tackling the challenging off-road track between runs up the famous hill, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 engine delivering 288 PS and 491 Nm of torque. 2

Instead of a hemi engine, try out homo engine.

I really don’t Ford will sell a lot of trucks looking like a gay pride flag.

The gays I know tend to dress like everyone else and do not shove it in people’s faces that they are gay.

Perfect for a “tail gate” party with LOTS of bud lite and little weinies.

Ford wants to be the King of fag autos. Let them have it. Good and hard.

Should have a big d**k on the front because the driver is the asshole.

Strangely, seeing this brought to mind an old Johnny Cash song, which I would retitle “A Truck Named ‘Gay’”

Son, I gave you that truck and I said goodbye
Knew you’d have to get tough or die
And it’s that truck helped to make you strong

(Has that song been banned by the woke, or just forgotten? Haven’t heard it in years)

The vehicle comes equipped with fashionably designed “dingle balls” to hang from the rear view mirror.

Didn’t think it was possible for Ford to suck even more than they already do, but here we are...

Spend billions building the brand, and then destroy it, like Pud-weiser and Miller and others, for `1/10th of 1% of the population. Sure, “they’re” gonna buy your homo crap, and make-up for all of us. Not.

It’s a Ranger. It’s gay no matter the color.
