Then go have one. This is just one guys opinion (that is held by a large percentage of the population).. and on this issue he has no more power than you or me. It's just an opinion. It's not as if he is saying he won't hire homosexuals, or hates them.. he just has an archaic view on marriage. Your grandma probably does too.

Tyr my entire mom's side of the family. Other than mindless pleasantries, I can't have a conversation with any of them.

I think I'll pass on CFA for the foreseeable future. He made his opinion known, and took a side, so I'm doing the same.

fuck, now i really want some waffle fries

Yeah, this thread has gone and made me hungry. And I've never even seen a Chick-Fil-A!

Fortunately for me, my local watering hole serves them:

you are the undisputed runner up though.

Yeah, that whole Chicken & Waffle....fries thing can't be a mistake.

hmmm why did i think they were mormon?

I think it'd be pretty funny if gay couples instead of boycotting, went into chick fil a's all over the country in boy scout uniforms and made out after eating chick fil a.

Oh you're against it, here, enjoy full frontal.

The Founder is a great guy. I know him personally. His kids are nice too, they do a lot of great things to help other humans, they are just Baptists. They believe gay marriage is immoral. There's really nothing wrong with that, it's a free country. I think they are misguided, but it's what they believe. I don't even really feel the need to try and make them change their minds. I just enjoy thier chicken.

You would probably hate it and then this thread would piss me off.

"They believe gay marriage is immoral." that quote cracks me up. You can believe something is immoral without giving money to groups that promote laws that discriminate against people.

Hypothetically speaking, I believe that people with blonde hair should only be allowed to marry other people with blonde hair. That is just my opinion and I'm entitled to my bigotry. But if I lobby politicians and give money to groups with the goal of discriminating against people of other hair colors to marry, I deserve all the public outcry I will invariably receive.

"The Founder is a great guy." Another hysterical assertion. I bigot is a bigot. It is his opinion and he is welcome to it, but don't defend bigotry, it will get you nowhere.

his corporation, which speaks w/ money, is saying these things... not the individual who's "a great guy."

What do you want me to say? I doubt Chick Fil A would say they support bigotry even if they give money to these groups.

I don't know shit about the groups they give money too. All I'm saying is I've met the guy, he's a very kind person, cares for lots of people gives loads of money to put people through college and does a lot of work for orphans.

Chick Fil A has a hole in their head to give money to these groups anyway for various reasons, including coming out with any political stance whatsoever. It's kind of dumb, but then many things involving religion are.

That's Awesome!

I think we could enjoy a meal together, friend.

Reaping and sowing...reaping and sowing..

I wouldn't say I search out information on who makes most of the goods I purchase, but when a company makes it publicly known that it directly opposes my values, it might make sense to not support their business.

Also, I'm a vegetarian.
