In a statement released earlier today, the American Family Association has condemned the actions of three men who huddled together for warmth in the arctic wilderness after their plane crashed into a lake due to engine failure.

"It goes against the natural order of things when a man - for whatever reason - provides or receives physical pleasure or comfort from another man," AFA spokesperson, Cindy McGee, told reporters.

The men, who were rescued 46 hours after the crash, were unable to grab their survival gear before bailing out of the sinking plane. "It was the longest two days of my life," said Mark Ryder, one of the survivors of the crash. "We were out there in sub-zero temperatures, didn't have any survival gear - all we had was each other."

"It is exactly this kind of moral flexibility that has been prescribed by the homosexual agenda which is loosening the moral fabric of America," said the AFA spokesperson. "First of all, it was 46 hours, not 48, so saying 'it was the longest two days of my life' is a gross exaggeration - just another lie from the valueless, liberal elite. Second of all, these men had a decision to make and when the going got tough they made the decision to stay warm via the fires of hell rather than through the burning bush of God's love."

In response to the AFA's assertions of immorality and deviant moral behavior, Mr. Ryder said, "But I lost a pinky toe, man."

The AFA is planning a boycott of the manufacturers of the winter clothes worn by the three men - which include Columbia Sportswear, North Face and Patagonia - citing "association with lewd homosexual behavior and moral bankruptcy."

Ms. McGee continued, "The AFA has a long and distinguished record of boycotting companies that support homosexuality, lascivious behavior and extra-marital cuddling. When the full weight of the millions of AFA members is unleashed upon these Godless, immoral companies they'll wish they hadn't provided their Godless, immoral clothing to these Godless, immoral men."

The AFA is, however, fully endorsing and, in fact, providing a nomination in the 'Best Shoddy Craftsmanship With Regard To Homosexual Sales And/Or Service In Aviation' category of their annual 'Goddies' award show to Piper Aircraft, Inc. for "their outstanding work in fighting the Rainbow Menace."
