WASHINGTON -- Ford Motor Co. faces the prospect of a new consumer boycott by a conservative group angry over the automaker's decision to resume advertising in predominantly gay media.

The American Family Association, a conservative group based in Tupelo, Miss., called off an earlier boycott after reaching an deal with the automaker over the ads.

"Unfortunately, some Ford officials made the decision to violate the good faith agreement," AFA Chairman Don Wildmon said in a statement Thursday. "All we wanted was for Ford to refrain from choosing sides in the cultural war, and supporting groups which promote same-sex marriage is not remaining neutral."
