Maggie Gallagher’s “National Organization for Marriage” is holding an anti-equality rally in Warwick, RI on Sunday, trying to hold onto the lone state in New England not to recognize same-sex marriage. Her group used an inside connection and got Tim Hortons (Canada’s version of Dunkin’ Donuts) to agree to donate refreshments for the anti-equality shindig. NOM touted Tim Hortons as a co-sponsor, which caused an uproar North of the border, where it isn’t respectable to associate with the American right-wing fringe Gallagher so ably represents. Gay activists applied pressure and the Loonie-loving donut sellers backed out. Special thanks to former Bostonian Fred Kuhr, now an activist in Toronto, for helping to organize the opposition up North.

Tim Horton’s coffee, pastries & food are hugely better than Dunkin’ Donuts so I’m glad I don’t have to boycott them over this. Tim Horton’s, come to Boston!!
