Our America media truly is garbage. The "information" they provide is akin to mental junk food.
Completely agree, but it's our fault as much as theirs. They do that because they've found that overly sensationalized pop culture/crap news gets higher ratings than factual, unbiased informative reporting.

Unequal treatment? Gays have more money than everyone else, they could create their own place to eat & franchise it. Trying to socially bully people into co signing their beliefs is wrong. Just be gay & chill.

The idea that every gay person is rich could not be further from the truth.

All because Cathy can't quite grasp that his view of whatever his religious belief on his religion's view of marriage has nothing to do with the civil (state) marriage. Seriously and now this circus because he is so "Christian"

That's not Christianity and frankly nobody do devout would dedicate a business that reponsible for so much heart disease and diabetes and profits off of children whose diabetes is skyrocketing...

yeah, "Christian"

LOL, oh good grief.

Antoine Dobson doesn't seem to care. His opinion on Chick-Fil-A.

But the truth is the truth many people hate blacks, many people hate whites, many people hate women & many people hate gays. You do what you can, it is what it is, people feel how they fell & all humans have the right to feel how they feel. Are you trying to make me agree with you? Is this a debate? Let me know because I'm pretty bullheaded about the subject so let me know how much back & forth you are willing to do.

I'm still gonna eat Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. People make Dan Cathy out to be some demon, but it ain't like he's deceased Governor Lester Maddox who was known for chasing black people out of his Pickrick restaurant with an axe handle.

Chick-Fil-A has been a staple of mines for as long as I can remember. And Dan Cathy has a well known reputation for treating his employees a whole heck of a lot better than the typical fast-food restaurants. He also ensures that the customers have a great experience; and then there's the reality that owning a Chick-Fil-A franchise is almost guaranteed profit-maker.

There's more pros for me to liking Chick-Fil-A than there are cons. But I'm not hating on the kiss-in protest by the LGBT crowd. Protesting is as American as owning a rifle, I'd say.

But the LGBT folks may have an uphill battle here, I would think.

I wonder if they are willing to see this protest through to the very end

I'm cool with Christians, as long as they aren't the kind that want to undermine science education in our schools.
