Coca-Cola to LGBT: Fuck You. [View all]

Translation into plain English: "We still want your money, so we can keep giving it to people who want to kill you and everyone like you."

Emphasis mine.

Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company, Mr. Sungenis. We appreciate the opportunity to respond.

As one of the world’s most inclusive brands, we value and celebrate diversity. We have long been a strong supporter of the LGBT community and have advocated for inclusion and diversity through both our policies and practices. We do not condone human rights abuses, intolerance or discrimination of any kind anywhere in the world.

As a sponsor since 1928, we believe the Olympic Games are a force for good that unite people through a common interest in sports, and we have seen firsthand the positive impact and long-lasting legacy they leave on every community that has been a host.
We support the ideals of the Olympics and are proud to continue our role in helping to make the Olympics a memorable experience for athletes, fans and communities all around the world.

We hope this information is helpful and encourage you to contact us again should you have additional comments or questions.
