That depends. Will there be drive-through voting, and will voters receive tasty chicken sandwiches?

How many quit or gave notice ? You have stats to provide us for your comment ?
Somehow I doubt min wage fast food workers are that worked up over gay issues, enough to quit their jobs.

Disgusting.
You do know that we do not live in a democracy. Right?

The majority can not vote to deny the rights of the minority.
I will not beg at you feet to be given whatever scraps YOU think I deserve as an American citizen.

Disgusting.
So if a majority of Americans decided that left-handed people should be denied drivers' licenses, would that make it OK?

Boy. Sure sounds like you have her all figured out.

Frankly in my opinion, it should be that way, but not just for homosexuals, but for anyone. A private business is a private business, not that of the public to dictate conditions to.

Kiss in? That is so stupid. Hahaha. They're embarrassing themselves.

At least, we don't disturb the gays at gay prides or anything. We let them freely do anything they want.

1st amendment for the world!

What about the children, should I close their eyes two?

Only fifty years ago homosexuality was considered a psychiatric problem and was against the law.
You gained so much in fifty years, don't push your luck...

Did everyone see the massive lines of Evangelical Christians from yesterday lining up to volunteer at food banks, homeless shelters and senior citizen centers this morning?!? Ya, neither did I. That would be, you know, Christ-like.

It is a first amendment issue, there's no discrimination against gays going on at any restaurant, the man is allowed to voice his first amendment right to say what he wants without fear of retribution.

The gay community wants retribution on Chick-fil-A by doing the kiss-ins and all the negative media blitz they're putting on Mr. Cathy.
