Religious groups in Taiwan have accused McDonald's of 'promoting homosexual behaviour' after the company released an advert in which a young man comes out to his father in a McCafe.
The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, shows a young man and his father having coffee in a Taiwanese branch of McDonalds when he writes on his cup 'I like boys' and shows it to the older man.
Although the father initially storms off he soon comes back and the pair reconcile when he writes 'I accept that you like boys' - but the advert has been slammed by religious critics for promoting 'gay issues'.
The minute and half long clip closes with the tag line: 'Let there be more warmth in conversations' - but some religious groups are now calling for a boycott of the fast food giant.
