It's the relationship we didn't know 2020 needed.

In an official pro-LGBTQ+ campaign in Finland, Burger King made nice with its rival chain, MacDonald's.


Very, VERY nice.

Helsinki Pride and Burger King are partnering to send the message of Pride around Finland.

Helsinki Pride will be different this year because of the ongoing pandemic, but it's nice to know that major fast food icons don't need to social distance.






Burger King Finland also issued a statement on the campaign.

Burger King Finland's brand manager Kaisa Kasila said:

"Burger King has always stood for equality, love, and everyone's right to be just the way they are."
"The only instance where it might not seem so is when we're bantering with our competitor. But we want to be clear – it all stems from the respect we have for them. And we know McDonald's stands for the values we stand for, too."
"The idea behind the painting sprung from our desire to celebrate love in all forms. We thought, what a better way to convey our values than by portraying an all-encompassing kiss between Burger King and McDonald. We wanted to show that in the end, love always wins."




Previously, Burger King changed its name to Burger Queer in Mexico during Pride month, as well as sold a rainbow-wrapped Whopper in the USA for San Francisco Pride.





We hope that the King and Ronald are very happy together.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
