Wow... the disconnect is stark (probably intentional) for some of you.

There are some serious "Debbie Downer" posters on this thread!
It's usually the ones who spouse tolerance and inclusion who are least inclusive and tolerant.

The reason why so many are coming in here and being this way is because it flys in the face of everything they want to believe (bad) about the company, nothing more. They simply can't process it in a rational way.



All I have to say is they did a good thing, for the sake of doing something good, for others who were also doing good. To the haters: Guess what, the government didn't have to mandate any of them to do it... what a concept!

There are multiple problems with your statement.

The first is the obvious, which is that you are arguing that handing out breakfast sandwiches after a massacre(which not even the worst homphobes would disagree with) some how completely atones for the policies, politicians and organizations that Chick Fil a as a corporation support that work against gay rights.

Seoncd, this isnt the company, this is the individual owner as Chick Fil a is franchised.

Was it a nice thing to do? Yes. Atta boy CFA.
The thing that singles them out, aside from the CFA controversy, is that they are not open on Sundays. I think it's wonderful that the community is coming to together in a positive way to help.

There have been many companies that donated to this event, Jet Blue flew in all the family members. I give Chik Fil A lot of credit given the history, this is more of what this country needs.

I thought the good works of Christians are to be done humbly and without recognition because their reward will be in heaven. Matthew 6:1.

Chick fil A apparently wants recognition for giving out some chicken patty sandwiches whereas the other companies are not insisting on this.

LGBT go under the Bus.
LGBT always go under the bus politically because they have nobody else to turn to.

All they can do is hold back campaign contributions like they did when Obama ignored them during his first term.

At least they have that....other groups don't have even that and just get hit with perpetual lip service.
