McDonald's is getting into the gay pride spirit.
The fast-food franchise is serving its signature fries in cheerful rainbow-colored boxes at participating locations throughout the greater California Bay Area, as well as at some D.C. locations.
"McDonald's has always been a company that has supported diversity and inclusion of its employees and extended McDonald's family," McDonald's spokesperson Kim Knapp said in a statement. "We are proud to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, appreciated and supported.
As an official sponsor of this year's Pride festivities, we looked for a unique way to bring that celebration into our restaurants throughout the Greater Bay Area."
The LGBTQ-friendly fries arrive just as San Francisco prepares for its annual Gay Pride Celebration. Events include a rally and two days of speakers and performers at a Civic Center stage.

have their marketing people counseled management they will definitely net a considerable reduction in customers??
fast food business is dog eat dog competition. One dumb move will set them back.
they have built a great business, it’s a shame to see it fail for a stupid move.
Does the customer have the option to choose the plain red fry holder? Or would they be labeled homophobic for not wanting rainbow fries?
I don’t understand pandering to less than 2 percent of the population with this offensive garbage - queers and their currently crappy food. I remember when their chow was first rate for fast food, I was 11 years old and the year was 1963.
Only if they are from transgendered potatoes.
Ok. Got it.
BTW, I don't eat their crap anyway. It's just ... crappy.
So what is this spectrum supposed to even mean? God created it before the devil distorted its use. I’d like to see a Christian pushback using a rainbow theme “God can save anybody from a doom in sin.” With the word ANYBODY in Roy G. Biv colors. Lets take the bull by the horns.
Serve on a bed of nuts.

Funny!
Won’t need plugs if they keep eating that crap.
Marketing Department at McDonald’s no doubt thinking that targeting ~13% of the population was such a resounding success that focusing on less than 3% of the population will be a sure winner as well.
Will the gay fries cause a much higher risk of HIV?
Hey!
McDonalds!
Stick your fries up your ass!
Give the gerbils some dinner.
Burger King’s “pride Burger” went nowhere.
You’d think McD’s would learn from that.
The only time I eat at these places is when I’m starving, on the road, and passing one where I have little time to do anything else.
Outside that, why would anybody go out specifically for them? I can place a to-go order at most places and it’s ready to pick-up when I get there, better food and often cheaper.
McDonald’s is your kind of place
They feed you rattlesnakes
French fries between your toes
Hamburgers up your nose
The last I went in there
They fried my underwear
McDonald’s is your kind of place.
Now THAT was funny!
McDonald's can take their fries and shove them up their arse, but apparently they would enjoy that.
My solution?:
I guess there's no escaping the sexual innuendos when discussing fast food? LOL
IN-N-OUT is TEN TIMES BETTER THAN MCDONALD'S AND IT'S CHEAPER!!!!
Yeah this might hurt worse than the Target bathroom snafu. Few had to visit a Target bathroom. Most McD’s customers are interested in fries.
I wish we had them here.
Full disclosure, I kinda stole it from Rodney Dangerfield. “My gay friend went to London, he was disappointed when he found out that Big Ben was a clock.”
