A boycott of Ford products is currently in place.  It was organized by the [[conservative]] [[American Family Association]] as a reaction to Ford's active promotion of homosexuality. Since the AFA's boycott drew national media attention to Ford's aggressive promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]], sale of Ford products have declined dramatically, though this decline coincides with the sharp decline of automotive sales in general during the financial crisis of the late 2000s; similar declines in sales were observed in non-boycotted companies like GM and Chrysler during this time.<ref>http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/01/group_says_boycott_adding_to_f.php</ref><ref>http://www.boycottford.com/</ref> Though some of the bean counters at Ford might support the gay agenda, the real engineers at Ford continue to produce masculine vehicles like the [[Ford GT]] and [[Ford Mustang]].
