They've been out against gay marriage pretty much way before this whole incident, it just wasn't publicized as much. I despise people who fund groups advocating to kill any group of people... But I research things before I give someone my money. I don't have a lot of money, and I don't want to waste it or give my precious resources to people who want me, a good portion of my friends, and literally my entire immediate family dead. I think people should be careful about these things if they really care. :/

I've seen recipes around at least for their sammiches and tea. (Their tea looks like it'd give me diabetes, I say as I guzzle down half a glass of pepsi and snack on a cream filled chocolate donut.) If you want good food make it yourself or find someone who isn't a complete dickmunch to fund with your appetite.

Also, the people supporting them "because their right to free speech being denied!1!!"... Just, what, two mad city officials said something dumb and recounted/clarified it within two days. :///////

I don't have a Chick-Fil-A in my area (on the account that i'm from Canada), but I have one thing I wish to note.

As much as I obviously don't support their policies, what I disapprove of the most is that their sales go into organizations MADE to destroy the progress of LGBT people.

I pray that this place doesn't invade the North anytime soon.

^ This pleases me. Now I never heard much about this as I don't live in the USA, but from what I have heard, Chick-Fil-A being against same-sex marriage is (was?) absolutely awful. I don't care if a company is opposed to gay marriage, they can have that view just as much as I can have the view that gay marriage should be legal, but when you take it to the point where said company is donating large sums of money to homophobic lobbying groups who are trying to inflict their personal prejudices against the homosexual population of America, what's where I draw the line.

In fact, to me this is more than just being against same-sex marriage. The FRC (Family Research Council) doesn't just oppose marriage equality, they really do HATE gays and actually lobbied Congress to NOT condemn Uganda's "Kill the Gays" bill. You know, when the Ugandan government wanted to make 'homosexuality' an offense punishable by death? How can anyone with a shred of humanity oppose condemning that? But the FRC apparently did, and they got donations from Chick-Fil-A to tell Congress that Uganda ought to allow that.

Looks like it was too good to be true.

This is just I don't even. I want to go, grab a hammer and do obscene things with it to Dan Cathy. I'm not going to say what I would do because it would be inappropriate with kiddies on the forum. Let's just say he won't be in one piece.

No worries. Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day only lasted one day, but every day is boycott stupid businesses day.

They're entitled to their own opinion, but I will never eat there when they're funding horrible, unethical organizations. One person not eating there doesn't make much a difference, but everyone who supports LGBT people not eating there certainly does.
