Who Is Eating Chick-Fil-A Tomorrow??

[SBR Lou]

This movement against CFA is ridiculous.

Has CFA ever discriminated against a gay worker? Has CFA ever mistreated a gay worker? It's their right to have beliefs, whether religious or political, and to donate to causes they support. I'm not sure why things have gotten so warped with sexuality in this country that you need to so openly celebrate someone else's life choices in order to stay on the ultra politically correct camp's Christmas list... oh crap, should've said Holidays list. Hopefully I'm not tarred, feathered and left for dead.

Yes I went and it was GOOD! Spicy chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a lemonade!

Welcome to America, where people don't get involved in the debate until a Fast Food restaurant does.

Is it not my right to have my beliefs, whether religious or political, and to boycot a business if they work to undermine a cause that I support?

The movement against CFA is not ridiculous. It's a group of people choosing to put their beliefs over food. It's a group of people EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS, the same rights that CFA has, and that's to support their causes in the way we/they see fit.

Having never discriminated against a gay co-worker is a strawman argument in this instance Lou. Nobody is protesting that CFA discriminated against a gay co-worker, so why bring that up?

I would if I had one around here

Fyi gays have largely boycotted cfa well before this stupid controversy.

Its pretty well known that cfa supports anti gay organizations with significant financial backing. Do you think that doesn't matter to someone who gives a shit about gay rights?

i really don't care personally. I go there for waffle fries and the lemonade. If those weren't any good then I wouldn't go. Simple as that.

[The Kraken]

That's cool Drinker, you're willing to put waffle fries and lemonade ahead of your support for gay rights. I'm not.

No the reason why I don't care is because every corporation is guilty of some bullshit

Do you wear anything made by Nike? Are your sneakers and tshirts more important than child labor laws?

i understand why people are offended but I'm not getting involved. Sorry.

[The Kraken]

A group of people who want people to not judge them for their choices in life is equal when that same group of people makes judgement on others for their choices and beliefs in life.

Gays and blacks = HYPOCRITES!!!

All gays want are equal rights, not your approval. Calling gays and blacks hypocrites for fighting for that is very much incorrect.

I understand your overall point but I'm not mother teresa. I'm not trying to boycott every corportation that is involved in some sort of crime against humanity, however noble that would be. I get to prioritize what's most important to me and near the top of my list is equal rights across the board for gays. Therefore I do not support CFA.

[texhooper]

why was this even a surprise anyway? what would anyone expect? they have probably lost millions and millions of dollars by not being open on sundays throughout the years, and have not blinked an eye because observing the sabbath is that important to them. obviously the cathy family are not members of the progressive sect of christianity, and of course they are against gay marriage. OF COURSE THEY ARE! they also probably are against dancing too. i think the people who are speaking out on this and boycotting it are doing so because they weren't able to figure it out before it was right in front of their face.

Here's the deal, pal....the gays are only gay as a choice. Its simply something to gain them attention. Usually its some kid who never really fit in, and when he comes across a group of gays, they welcome him. All he has to do is declare himself a gay, and he's got instant friends.


You know, pal, the gays have a very strong recruitment policy. I'm not privy to what you get for each referral....but I imagine they make it a pretty sweet deal. I'm sure the gifts are nice. Most of them have fabulous taste.

sarcasm i hope

[Chimneyfish]

I'm going to go there. I don't care about gay marriage, I just appreciate how much they've been able to offend all these pussies.

[texhooper]

sarcasm i hope

surely it is...

[GOIRISH]

i drove by the place and the wait had to of been 4 hrs to get in. Probably could of went to the mall food court and got some, but **** that then i would of had to put up with all the bums.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Who am I to judge, I put Five Guys in my mouth at least once a month.

[opie1988]

surely it is...

Indeed. I could care less what someone does in their bedroom.

Truth be known, I'm a big fan of both Chic Filet and the homosexual. Both brought many wonderful things to our world.

[DrStale]

I support gay marriage and if there were a CFA in my area I probably wouldn't go. That said if my neighbor wants to go I'm not going to run up his driveway calling him a hate monger because he has a different belief than I do. This isn't hate, in my opinion it's ignorance. But again that's my opinion and by acting like a left-wing nut it's only going to drive people further into whatever camp they already belong to. Hence why this boycott has led to a dramatic increase in sales.

Congrats liberals on giving CFA tons of free publicity and revenue that they can use to donate to Focus on the Family.

Is opie tipping his pitches here?

Does this mean acl, smoker and mikeyanks are going to score high in the potm rankings???

[itchypickle]

Lol @ someone saying going to chick fil a is supporting free speech. Hey dipshit the guy wasn't at risk of getting arrested or even sued over his comments. Has absolutely zero to do with free speech and everything to do with consumers making a decision to support a business or not.

Vol Bengal has a pretty simple mans view on this. If a business allowed blacks to patronize their establishment and treats them fairly when they are customers and then poured that money into supporting the kkk would you say they aren't a discriminatory business? Chick fil a isn't doing something quite as controversial but they do support anti gay and anti gay marriage organizations financially. Makes sense to me why someone wouldn't want to go there whether I agree or not. And frankly putting their money where their mouth is is far more impactful than this guys comments.

And I have no doubt that based on where most chick fil a's are based, this guys comments were a calculated business decision which will not only not harm their bottom line but will create a more deeply seeded relationship with their targeted customers.

It became a free speech issue when sitting officials such as the mayor of Chicago,boston, D.C. started saying they would use their office to make sure no Chick-Fil-A franchises would be welcome in their cities from here out.....mind you these are PRIVATE COMPANIES so to use your govt power to ban a business on nothing more than a statement or position is a free speech issue.

If a consumer chooses not to eat there is one thing but to know that if the govt hears your personal stance on something and tries to deny you a business based on that...isn't that what Nazis and racists did years ago?

[bigblue74]

must be a Hard borin life scrutinizin companies donations before choosin to eat there........ Pardon my pun but that sir is some gayyyyy shit

[sharpcat]

So it is okay for gays to openly boycott a business because the owner disapproves of same sex couples due to his strong religious beliefs but it is not okay for a religious man to openly oppose same sex marriage?

How the fuk is that equal?

[Tree Rollins]

I could give a shit about chick-fil-a's stance on gay marriage. Seriously, think about that for a second "chick-fil-a stance on gay marriage"....that is a ridiculous sentence. I respect chick-fil-a b/c their nuggets and sammiches are on point. When i eat somewhere, that's all i care about.

By the way, chick-fil-a line near me was about 50 cars deep when i drove by.

[jarvol]

Here's the deal, pal....the gays are only gay as a choice.

Yep.....just like getting married is a choice. So why does the American government treat them unequally? The big problem that most morons like you, who now populate like fukkin rabbits in our once great country creating even more morons, don't understand is that government is the problem. Marriage has nothing to do with the government so why are they involved with it? It is a private institution created long ago and perverted by organized religion and their book and is yet another topic they bribe the dumbfukks you morons elect in order to force their religious beliefs on all Americans. Boycott the dumbasses you morons continually send to Washington and state capitals throughout this country. That is where the boycott should be.

This goes to show me that the progressive way of thinking is not as progressive as progressives would like to think it is.

My original post that you quoted was tongue-in-cheek. But since you chose to be such a prikk, I'll go ahead and tell you how I disagree with your feelings toward gay marriage for two primary reasons.

Firstly, homosexuals are not denied the "right" to marry, they just are not interested in entering into a heterosexual covenant.

Second, if it was an issue of equal rights, the situation could have been resolved with civil union legislation. That is, by invoking a covenant that provides equal recognition under law - but without attacking and undermining the traditional definition of marriage.

[GOIRISH]

This is the way i look at it, If gays want to go ahead and ruin their lives by getting married let them, Christians dont care about atheists, muslims or other religions that dont believe in the same god as them getting married. So why care about these people. Secondly, **** these cities who wont allow a chick-fil-a in, the guy is allowed his beliefs.

[lunchbawks]

[Emily_Haines]

WHo would have thought it? Bunch of old white people

These GOP ass clowns have 20 years left tops. Then they be gone for good.

[andywend]

i will take a huge dump on the front steps of a Chik-fil-A after they close tonight.

I am not at all surprised to hear this as liberal democrats are SCUMBAGS who do things like that.

Here's hoping a cop sees you doing it, throws you in jail and you get that shit packed right back into you. Since you're so into gay marriage, you'll probably enjoy the experience.

[brooks85]

great to see people standing up for chik fil a

shame no one had hank williams jr's back and now we have different intro's to MNF.
