AFA’s New Christian Coffee Company Proselytizes In Uganda, Funds Anti-Gay Hate In US

The American Family Association has launched the Thomas Street Coffee Company to “help share the gospel of Christ with unreached people,” and to harvest not only coffee beans from developing nations, but to convert growers and their workers into Christians — while harvesting the profits of unsuspecting indigenous peoples.

The American Family Association is a fundamentalist evangelical Christian group that claims — possibly for tax reasons — to be a “ministry,” and is included among the Southern Poverty Law Center’s active anti-gay hate groups list.

Thomas Street Coffee has been in the works for months, with the website being registered in March, a promo segment on Fox News’ Sean Hannity show, and a Twitter presence indicating a “soft opening” without any fanfare earlier this month, but the official announcement came Monday via the AFA’s One Million Moms’ Facebook page.

While we’re not exactly sure what “unreached people groups” are, we’re certainly sure what “TSC helps underwrite the ministry of our parent organization, The American Family Association” means. It means that every cup of Thomas Street Coffee sold, every pound, goes toward furthering an agenda of anti-gay hate. That is strong coffee!

it means either the Abrahamists are going to persecute or preach hatred.
