I am aware Chick-fil-a is not for gay marriage.
I am aware Chick-fil-a donates to anti-gay causes.

Am I a hypocrite for going to chick-fil-a and eating there food?
Of course not.

Even deluded people live in actual reality, despite their denials.

Yep. The employees are clean-cut and very polite. No cellphones, baggy pants, or extreme haircuts and piercings.

Are you aware of what every single company, whose products you buy on a regular basis, believes in and supports?

Chick-fil-a is a faith based company. They have every right to spend their money supporting their beliefs just like you do. Not allowing them that right would make you a hyprocrite. Eat there, or don't. Your choice.

When you walk into a Chick-fil-a restaurant does the person behind the counter say, "Hi, Welcome to Chick-fil-a. Are you gay?" No, they don't.

Before you single out one company maybe you should research every single company whose products you purchase, and see if they are 100% on par with what you believe.

If you have no issue eating there, then go ahead.

I have a friend that went to CFA, and felt the need to apologize profusely to me, because she knows that I don't eat there. It would have been funny, except she was actually very upset over the thought she was somehow hurting me. I couldn't care less if she, or anyone else, eats at CFA. I, personally, choose not to.

I agree with this statement which is why I do not in general support boycotts.

However, this case is a little different as profits were being directly sent to hate groups...literally money you spent actively FUNDED the anti-gay people and their activism. So it's a little different than just people and their opinions.

No truth to that and to the extent that there MIGHT be some truth to it, no more than a tiny bit might be true.

CFA in Tucson (the closest one to my home) has kids that look like kids that work in any other fast food joint.

It's not as if the average person has extreme haircuts or piercings anyway. And it's pretty hard to have baggy pants if the CFA is issuing the clothing.

Regardless, what would it matter anyway? As long as the food is good, what difference does piercings and baggy pants make?

Ehhh...who do you think wears piercings, baggy pants, extreme haircuts, and carries cellphones in a country where damn near everyone is Christian?

Muslims?

Geez...you guys are gushing so much that you're starting to babble. Calm down and assess what the hell you're saying. CFA doesn't have a religious views litmus test that i know of.

I want to be entertained when I go out to eat!
