The sad thing is I don't even think they're lying. I think they are just so self-deluded to the point of honestly believing the bullshit they spew makes sense.

CFA response to anti-gay alleg. "Guilty as charged." Do NOT gloat about eating at CFA

I've just got to say how obnoxious it is that they responded with the phrase 'Guilty as charged'. Could their little persecution complex be more obvious? So no I won't eat there any more. I don't think it will hurt their business and I don't think they care if I do or not but I just can't give them my money and feel good about it.
I actually laughed out loud when I read "no discrimination exists"
Lets just ignore all the hate crimes and deaths and suicide of homosexuals because of discrimination.
So isn't that something we should be trying to correct? Supporting companies that donate to lobbyists and hate groups that want to limit gay people their equal rights doesn't sit well with me.
Look, they donated over a million dollars to a group that has this on their homepage.
Bigoted nutjobs.
That last one is making my skin peel.

No evidence.
And letting others get married restricts my religious liberty.
- That's the type of thinking that makes places like Afghanistan such a nice place to live.

Yeah, that last one is anger inducing.
Amazing to even read that level of bigotry still, let alone have a group advocating it.

That last part is more ironic than the Alanis song as the text itself is a proof that discrimination happens.

Hey, it's a politically neutered organization. It's not like they distribute flyers throughout the nation, get ideas reprinted in church pamphlets or books, or are discussed on religious television stations viewed by millions of people.

Dudes, it's ok, because they make tasty chicken sandwiches.
Besides, I ain't gay, so what do I care? om nom nom

That's from The Family Foundation. There's plenty more on their site that makes my blood boil.

"If we didn't have the support from people like you, imagine what would have happened if that if that regulation against their conscience was allowed to pass?"
Would you like to know what would have really happened? A lot more of those unwanted children would have found themselves in loving homes. It only makes the situation worse when you combine this line of thinking with the pro-life arguments.
"You can't abort that baby!" "You can't let gay people adopt that baby!"
So let me get this straight, Family Foundation: You're against gay people adopting babies and you're against abortion, which means women who don't want or can't support a child have to put it up for adoption.
This is what I call "Faux Christianity" and it's part of the reason I'm ex-Christian. They take the parts of the bible that make them right, ignore everything they don't like, then claim religious persecution the moment anyone questions them or does something they don't like.
Everyone's guilty of this sort of behavior, but there are groups in the Christian community that have it down to muscle memory.

Gonna go to McDonald's this weekend to see if I can do some mods to their Southern Chicken sandwich to make it a good Chick Fil-A replacement. Honestly I think all it might need is some mayo...

Didn't the Jim Henson Company officially announce they were pulling the products because of the comments?
Just making sure I got my facts straight. LOL get it?
Seriously, Chick-Fil-A is in this crazy position where they're digging themselves in deeper when they could have just said nothing and let this thing blow over.
They've gone beyond the comparison of "Racist guy shows us he's not a racist because he knows black people" to showing us he has NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" in iTunes, his DVD of Malcolm X, and he's now on the floor, sobbing and whimpering "Why doesn't anyone believe me?"

A true Renaissance Man of the 21st Century.
Count me in on the swath of "apathy". I've known CFA was owned by nutball christians for years now. Still eat their chicken nuggets.
All fast food corporations have their nefarious side. CFA is just more open about it.
Time and energy is better spent convincing Marylanders not to vote down the gay marriage bill in the referendum this year.

Takes no time or energy to not frequent a fast food joint.
Also, the thread has eviscerated your other points.

Time and energy is better spent walking than chewing gum.
Good article that talks about how Rahm Emanuel has flip-floped on this issue. I believe that if Chick-fil-a is stopped from opening a second location in Chicago it will be a loss for all of us no matter what side you are on.
Good Article!
Good Article!
Loving v Virginia
The only difference at issue is whether it is acceptable to deny this fundamental right to an otherwise qualified citizen on the basis of the sex of the person they want to marry but the Court CLEARLY considered marriage a right.

You mean it wasn't politically adept to claim you were in support of gay marriage when attempting to win the votes of the electorate before having major political clout? Well fuck me sideways.
Good question.

lol.
Even if there is no difference, the comparison is foolish. People are allowed to modify their views, otherwise we would have to kill the hateful scumbags.

no it isn't
What? In the hell.
Cripes! What does that have to do with anything? Especially considering the organizations that Chick Fil A donates to. Have you even read a single post in this thread?
Actually it does take time and energy to cook food oneself, rather than buying pre-made food.
I'm not a proponent of marriage for anyone, regardless of orientation. So I disagree about evisceration in general, except for people clogging up my fb feed with reposted CFA memes.
Obama wasn't contributing millions of dollars to anti-gay groups?
It's Kosmo. Read his tag.
Are you talking about Obama modifying his views or all of the "outraged" people modifying what their response is to someone who states they think marriage is between a man and a woman? That their is more outrage about a guy that makes chicken sandwiches having that view than the guy sitting in the White house is hilarious to watch.
I'm all for gay marriage, FYI.

Your attempt at political commentary has already been dealt with.

Just throwing wild ideas around.
This isn't about just a guy saying, "I dont support same sex marriages." It goes a lot deeper than that so stop trying to dumb it down to something you can argue against.

Actually, LOL at you, because your "rebuttal" is hinged on the idiotic premise that CFA is the only fast food provider in the country.
You can do better than that.
You probably can't.
Uh-huh. Suuuuuuure.
