This is terrible. I was on another site http://www.timhortonsfranchise.com and see they don’t treat thier franchisees any better. This is disgusting what a giant corporation can do. Spread the word.

I just went back on to the NOMRI website, and noticed that the posters changed to being sponsored only by the venue and the NOM. I bet the fine people of Rhode Island were harrassing the supporters of this event. I’m sure that their sponsors didn’t drop out, but were too embarrassed to attach their name to this event.

Getting coffee from Hortons is like going to prison to get sex. You know you’re going to get it, and it’s going to be rough.

I was horrified when I read your entry today, so I too sent an email to Tim Norton’s. I’m glad that they’ve backed out, but I’m worried now that Christopher Plante, the head of NOMRI, is going to get a ton of press out of this one.

What cracks me up is that they say it’s not a religious organization, and that gay couples are welcome to attend. Aldrich Mansion, which is where this event will be held, is owned by the RI Catholic Archdiocese. If you called them to book a wedding there, you would be turned away, because you’re gay. Of course, they would also turn away couples of faiths that contradict the Catholic faith.

I’m proud to be from Massachusetts … when will our little neighbor to the south learn?

I’d recommend Dunkin’ Donuts, but they knuckled under when Michelle Malkin unleashed her hordes on them for using a picture that featured Rachel Ray wearing a paisley scarf that looked too much like a kaffieyeh (sp?) to her taste.

One wonders why Miss Gallagher isn’t getting up in John Ensign’s and Mark Sanford’s business instead… I mean the latter ditched his family on *Father’s Day Weekend* of all days…

Looks like it was an individual franchise, and they’re pulling the sponsorship:

Unfortunate that they chose such sidestepping language, but clearly the immediate negative response was enough to cancel the sponsorship.

I’m guessing corporate did not give their blessing to this event. ‘Celebrate Marriage & Family Day’?! Code for, ‘Hate on Gays Day’.

Whether it was an individual or the whole chain is irrelevent if the logo is on the brochure. This article rightly points out that Timmys is still new in the US, and this will be what people in the US associate it with: http://tinyurl.com/mbxum8

Revolting. Even worse than their coffee. I’ve sent what I hope is a nasty and negative email. Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention.

I’ve filled in their request-for-sponsorship form, asking them to donate cash.

I hope they get the irony of what I’ve entered.
