Is this really the level of thought they put into it? Like we need anyone's post to remind us it's legal to be anti-gay

Would just like to see people using their brains every now and then, is all. I won't be going to Chick Fil A ever again, unless by some miracle this dude becomes intelligent enough to realize there is no reason to oppose homosexuality or gay rights. But more importantly, I'll remain ready to explain to anyone and everyone just why it isn't right to discriminate against a group of people just because you think they choose to be that way and/or you think it's morally wrong.
You there! Stop making sense! We cannot have that here!

If I decide I like brussel sprouts and nothing else, is it right for me to make it so no one can eat anything but that? I mean hey, we'd all be "equal", right? Except that I'd be the one who made the choice and you'd be the one denied it.

So you agree with certain restrictions on marriage, just not same sex marriage. Talk about disingenuous.

Typical leftie. What does bigotry have to do with liking their chicken nuggets? I will answer for you...nothing!! This is why i am SO sick of, and no longer support, the freaking gay community!!

These yahoos think anyone who disagrees with them are bigots and haters. They lead a pitiful life. They are to be pitied.

A "false idol"?

I have loved chicken all my life and I'm not pseudo-Christian, black, gay or Jewish at all. I much prefer Popeye's chicken.

So what is a "false idol"? And is Chicken my "false idol"?

Please help me as I would not want to be labeled a bigot by the miniscule minority called "gays" who think they are much more important than they really are.

Do I need to give up chicken?

Then you must be a bigot according to the gay community... or at least some of the gay idiots on this board. You can't have it both ways. You either agree with them or you are a bigot.

No you don't. Your posts have shown exactly the opposite.

I applaud Chick-A-Fil for closing on Sunday although if I was the CEO it would be open but they act on what they stand for.

If people want to boycott them then they are free to do so just as I'm free to boycott all the Hollywood movies where these crazy lefty actors are playing in who bashed Bush and and do these crazy charity events for Obama instead of giving half their fortune or pay more to the IRS which everybody is free to do so in the USA if you feel you don't pay enough...but that is not what it is about for them, just to say it in public and being a hypocrite!

Chick Fil A employees are some of the friendliest and passionate I have ever seen in the fast food industry. Additionally that place is kid friendly. Instead of a Happy Meal with a stupid plastic toy, kids get an educational book with their kids meal and the books are great, they love them. Then they have the kids play area too. On top of that its some of the best, healthiest chicken and food you can find for a kid in the fast food arena. Yeah I'll be sure and boycott this place immediately

They are a very paranoid and childish group for sure, it must be a terrible life to always think everybody is out to get you. i would hate to think i would pass up a good meal because I was paranoid of the owners beliefs.

They have grown up in a PC world where reality has been turned on its head. They have been told exactly what they shall think and what they shall not think from day one of their lives - it is all they have ever known. So naturally, when they see others dare to deviate from prescribed and demanded thought processes embedded in their young minds, they are aghast.

Yes, as Roadking said, they are to be pitied.
