Does that make it taste better Dr Eggman?
But seriously is there an alternative ? McDonalds Southern Style Chicken sandwich is sub par, and morally better ?

That's you own personal issues, not mine.
Yep, happily married and I have a 6 month old daughter. She's just getting ready to start crawling.
We even just went out to dinner for my wife's birthday last night. Well fun time and good food.

And maybe a coke to drink or sumtin.
I wouldn't think less of somebody else, either. But personally, I'm going to refuse to give them my business for my own personal conscience. I'm sure I give a lot of money to other business who do similar things, but it makes it easy when a company just comes out and says it. Shows me that they really, really feel strongly about it, so fuck them.

You know if I boycotted everything I don't like I wouldn't have any gaming consoles or a pc, nor would I have any cell phones or mostly anything. While I do not agree with Chickfila on this matter, I wont stop eating there because of it. Most of you already support companies that partake in questionable business practices, being a white knight in this instance, will not erase that.
what the hell are you even saying. More americans support same-sex marriage than oppose it. My point is that chick-fil-a are not unique in their belief, and it is not worth spending any effort trying to thwart them.
At least they're blunt. Will probably never go to Chick-Fil-A because I swear every time I've gone there the customers and the staff are all WASP-y, and I think they succeeded in making the chain into a church banquet. Oh, and their chicken is just okay. Totally doesn't warrant a visit without coupons.
I'll miss their sauces though. Good sauce.

Man, I am seriously craving Chick-fil-a right now...
Simply not going there doesn't seem like much effort. In fact it's sort of the opposite of effort.

Most disappointing fast food place since Five Guys.
It's not even that good, the only thing going for them is the variety of sauces for dipping.

I don't drink soda anymore, so water for me. Maybe their lemonade. It's pretty good, if a bit too tart.

It's a good thing the nearest one to me is like 15 miles away where I hardly ever go, so I've eaten there like a total of 3 times. Was thinking of getting some soon, but now, I don't know about that.

Working.
But I have a drive to Chicago after work, so I will likely be eating a chicken sandwich + waffle fries in a few shorts hours.
Sorry to those who now/already did hate the chain for their decisions. You're missing out on same bangin food.

I enjoyed the mythos but I know he is a complete racist and bigot. Do love what charles stross is doing wiht it though
:lol oh wow
you do not seem to understand the subtle differences between avoidance and incidentally not going to a place. If I've a hankerin' for a chicken sandwich and chick-fil-a is next door, it's MORE EFFORT to avoid chick-fil-a than to eat at it. Do you understand?

Gays are missing out on marriages, so my conscious is clear.
Also, lol @ some of the responses in this thread. It's like people are trying to guilt folks back IN to CFA.

I used to love Chick-Fil-A, but stopped eating it once all this anti-gay stuff came out. I have gay friends who were heartbroken over this. At least CFA were trying to be SOMEWHAT diplomatic about this, but then Dan Cathy comes out and says basically, "Fuck it and fuck gay marriage." There's no way I could look myself in the mirror and continue to support a company that promotes bigotry.

More power to you. I've never eaten there, but if another one of those free offers comes up then I might give them a try. There are other fast-food places that I prefer around where I live that I prefer over spending money at CFA anyways.
I don't think that means what you think it means.
I agree, a hankerin' for chicken is simply too powerful to resist and overrides all other judgment.

This thread is convincing me to go grab some delicious Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.
Did you guys know that their awesome Peach milkshakes are back??
Oh, I haven't had this one. I DID get to try their banana milkshakes a few months back - THOSE were killer.
Whoa. The ones around me are ~90% staffed by minorities, including the managers in my experience.

The ones around here are staffed with high school kids and old people and are always filled with soccer moms letting their spawn run around in unsupervised mayhem. The little darlings.

That depends. Do sales of his books go to antisemitic or racist causes?

Pretty much...I don't like that they are openly anti gay and support the anti gay cause but I don't expect anyone to boycot as much as I don't expect people to boycot products that are made by slave laborers.

Better choice would Orson Scott Card but it's a Manos argument.
Funny you should mention him, I am reading a book where he is discovered to be a hack that stole his ideas from Nick Tesla.

Not speaking for myself but read the thread to get my point.
The choice is not "buy a sandwich and spit on a faggot" or "go somewhere else and personally legalise gay marriage in your state." It's not so cut and dried; not so black and white.

Seems to be the general tone threads like these take, and not just on GAF. I've had a few folks on Facebook suggest as much to me.

If something is good people will put morals aside.
Yeah okay, they've got an anti-gay marriage stance. I don't agree with that, nor do a lot of people.
But you know what I actually observed growing up? Them donating a shit ton of money and food to our local charities and schools. All the time.
So I don't feel bad eating their food for whatever religious stance they take. No, their charitable work does not negate their wrongness, but it strikes more of a balance than most companies. And I feel like my money is going to support their employees and my local organizations more so than some anti-gay agenda. Not that I really think about it that much, because I'm just paying for a goddamn sandwich and not some anti-gay pamphlets to spread around.

some people dont game on xbox, some people dont eat at chick fil a. whatevers floats your boat yo.
Pretty much is. You don't NEED a chicken sandwich.
I want a chicken sandwich, but the only place around is this place, which isn't run by very good people. Do I go?
1. Can't resist urge to get chicken sandwich because I am a zombie for fast food that overrides all other considerations.
2. Don't get a chicken sandwich that day.
This is as about as cut and dry an issue as possible.
