Christian-conservative values group the “American Family Association” has renewed its promise to boycott Ford products if the automaker goes ahead with plans to advertise in gay publications. “Unfortunately, some Ford officials made the decision to violate the good faith agreement,” AFA Chairman Don Wildmon said in a statement Thursday. “All we wanted was for Ford to refrain from choosing sides in the cultural war, and supporting groups which promote same-sex marriage is not remaining neutral.” Because Ford broke the agreement, Wildmon said the option of another boycott is “very much alive.” Recently, Ford pulled advertising targeting gays and lesbians citing budget reductions, but critics said the move was done under pressure from the AFA. Many gay rights groups complained about the decision, and Ford subsequently said it would resume publishing gay ads.
