可口可乐力挺LGBT群体,结果在匈牙利遭抵制
Coca-Cola is running ads in Hungary that include images of same-sex couples kissing and holding bottles of Coke. Now the company faces backlash from Hungarian politicians and conservative activists. But Coca-Cola has no plans to backtrack. At least one leading politician from Hungary's ruling Fidesz party and conservative media outlets have called for boycotting Coke (KO) products or banning the company's "Love is Love" ad series. "The Coca-Cola Company strives for diversity, inclusion and equality in our business, and we support these rights in society as well," a company spokesperson said a statement. "As a long-standing supporter of the LGBTQI community, we believe everyone has the right to love the person they choose. The campaign currently running in Hungary reflects these values." Coke launched the "Love is Love" campaign in Hungary days ahead of the progressive Sziget festival, which is scheduled to kick off in Budapest this week. The posters contain slogans, such as, "Zero Sugar, Zero Prejudice." The ads can be seen at train stations and elsewhere in the nation's capital, according to several local media reports. Coke also shared images of the ads on its Hungarian Facebook page over the weekend. Polls show a growing number of Hungarians support gay rights. A 2017 poll by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association found that more than 60% of the country's residents believe equal rights should be afforded to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. But István Boldog, a member of parliament and a Fidesz party leader, called for a boycott of Coca-Cola products until the ads are removed. |
