I'd like to still support the poor folks that have to work there....

But uh...when I did some research into those bullshit Ex-Gay camps that Chick-fil-a has sent donations to...and learned that they cause more pain than good...and that the American Psychology Association has rejected its practice as a "therapy" and has linked it to higher rates of depression and even suicides in the people that attend those programs...and that "success" is only measured by continued attendance, not by actual effectiveness...

Yeaaahh......

We had a healthy delicious fried chicken dinner made at home instead :3

I agree, but after the crowds I saw today, I lost any shred of support I had in me.

This might have started out just over Marriage, but after reading comments and watching the news, it has already turned into a full blown hate fest. =(

I worry about anyone that is a member of the LGBT community that works for them! I hope that they have not lost their jobs over all of this.

There has been a lawsuit filed (not won, not seen in court yet, just filed, so it could still be "false" or slander) where a general manager of one of their stores fired and demoted quite a few women so they could be at home with their children. (If you care to read: http://www.glaad.org/files/101150536-Lawsuit_1.pdf)

Religion has no place in business, and sadly, that's all it's become these days. "For Profit Salvation."

Frankly, I wouldn't have had a big problem with him being vocal against non-traditional families. That's his right as a tax-paying citizen of the USA. His opinion, his religion, and he's entitled to it. I have no place to silence him. I don't like it, but there's nothing I could do about that. Love thy neighbor and Tolerate his bullshit.

But the moment his donation totals were released and updated...When he put money and funded hateful programs and lobbyist groups (you know, people that can bribe persuade lawmakers into making changes...that's like paying someone to make weapons for you, and your enemy is a bunch of preschoolers.That isn't fair and it isn't right.

I have no more pity for Chick-Fil-A.

What gets me is my own mother, to whom I've been out for some time, still says they're "practicing their religious freedom."

Her reason for bias, as far as I can tell, is because she likes the taste.

As long as the culture is so base as to allow people to support this kind of thing because they don't want to give up their favorite junk food, I have little hope for America.

Agreed. =(

Something that gets me is how someone was saying "We just want people to respect us for being against Gays getting married, and for them [the homosexuals] to respect our right to say we are against it."

How do you offer no respect and expect to get it?

And as far as their religion goes, there are several flaws in that, seeing as how a lot of what they are preaching goes directly against the Bible they claim to love so much...

Absolutely. I have nothing against Christians or Christianity because if anything, at its heart it's a religion that preaches humility and charity. I know many Christians who live by that (leaving the faith had more to do with personal revelations than anything in current events).

But I can't abide by anything being used to justify hate. That's just wrong.

PS:
Pickle Juice is the secret ingredient.
Salt and pepper the flour before you dredge it.
Fry on Medium heat (5 or 6 on your stove top).

Marinate your chicken in it for an hour before dredging and it'll taste just like Chick-Fil-A's.

There! No more reason for bias :3

Droves of homophobes gorging themselves on some of the most calorie-packed foods they can get their sweaty sausage-fingered hands on?
Oh yessss, let's all keep giving Chick-Fil-A hell and their show of support will just kill them all. 8D

Problem. Solved.
