I'm sorry but I didn't see "Chick-fil-A tweeted" anywhere in your comment.

umm nope I did not go I would not eat that food if it was the last thing on earth to eat. And that was before any of this was to happen. Its a Sad day to be a human to rally around something just to support hate. Was nothing to do with showing support for free speach. It was just to show how many hatefull people are in this world. Shame on them if this is all we have to worry about in the world we have big problems. I can think of a lot more things I would like too see people come out and get a fire lit under them. Who is screwing who and marrying who is for sure not one of them. Straight people for sure don't know how to stay married Look at all the divorce and cheating going on. Thankfully talks like this is what is bringing change. Gay marriage will happen. And no matter how many stupid chicken joints want to talk bad about it. It is going to happen sadly it is just going to be ugly and dirty to get to the other side.

It has NOTHING to do with the first amendment it has to do with Chick fil-a donating to anti-gay organizations. I'll never set foot in another one.

A ceremony created by religious beliefs.
Are atheists allowed to marry?

A few things:

-Chick Fil A is actually one of the better fast food restaurants out there in my opinion. Their fries don't consist of trans-fat and their salads are some of the best I have eaten out of any fast food chain their size. You can't go wrong with the fresh squeezed lemonade and great service they provide also.

-I can't figure out for the life of me why people are surprised over Chick Fil A's stance. The family owning it has always been Christian conservative. Did you honestly think it was an odd coincidence they were closed on Sunday? The only reason this has become such a large issue now is due to the media.

So with that view, I guess you'll never put gas in your car again......after all, the oil for that gas comes from Muslim countries and you have read how anti gay the Muslim religion is right? You have heard of gay people being killed just for being gay in Muslim countries right? No more gas for you! Pedal power from now on.

And by the way, please be accurate.....Cathy is not "anti gay", he is "anti gay marriage"......big difference......

Sorta like how Strom Thurmond wasn't anti-black, he was pro racial segregation (excluding the time he impregnated his 16-year-old black maid.)

I didn't forget what I said because I didn't say that. Another poster did. And he/she was talking about CFA twitter acct. which makes sense considering the claim was that CFA made the tweet.

Poster A: CFA just tweeted record sales.
Poster B: Just checked their twitter account don't see nothing of the sort.
Poster A: (Links to twitter account of someone not CFA) Any other smart comments?
Me: Um, that's not CFA but some other person making the claim.
YOu: They're credible.
Me: Still the tweet didn't come from CFA

Which brings us up to this point.
