I encourage you to view the sordid details at Equality Matters to see not only how vile these organizations are, but how closely Chick-Fil-A's charitable arm is linked to a number of them.


Wow, such words. Sordid. Vile. I can feel the hatred. The stench of tolerance is wafting from my modem.




There is no obligation to be tolerant of bigotry. There is no lawful reason to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Period.

I could care less about their politics. I don't eat there because Im not particularly fond of the sandwiches.
If I were going to purchase a franchise, they would be at the bottom of my list. It has nothing to do with their politics but I'm not going to pay rent and utilities on a building for 7 days a week and only have an opportunity to make money on it for 6.

Pure Capitalism



Fully agree as a business consideration. Though I do understand the income stream is quite nice, even for 6 days a week.[;)]

It would be 14% better if I could sell 7 days.
Again, no religious mumbo jumbo, just pure capitalism.


By that metric I'd have to assume any other fast food joint would be a 14% better investment. Is, say, ARBYS better than Chic-fil-A by 14%?




In this part of the country, Micky D's or Hardees does a LOT more business than chik fil a.
The local one is typically about a third full at meal time. Pretty close to what Arbys is.

This mini boycott/water thing doesn't seem to be haveing much of an effect. Business is booming and folks are lined up out the door supporting chick-fil-a..

It reminds me of lemmings.

Are they like big down south? Cause I did a little asking around town here today and got a very standard cheery Gloucester "I got no fuckin' idea"... No matter... they can STICK their chicken. I just had the delight this evening of taking a $20 piece of tuna steak off the schoolie I caught and boiled it, and then made the CRACK of tuna salads... YUM.

The long and short of it-- on 8/1 (the day Mike Huckabee wants Chick-Fil-A supporters to patronize the restaurant) go to Chick-Fil-A. Ask for a large water and nothing else. See if they adhere to Proverbs 25:21 and give it to you. If they do, yay! You took a few cents from their hate fund! If they don't, well...I guess they're proving their principals aren't so "biblical."

If you're in, pass the word on, please. #Proverbs2521





So how'd that work out for you?

I know it has all been mentioned before but I am just adding my opinion to the discussion.

I am conflicted…I do not like people that wear their religion on their sleeves and spout their opinions on political issues based on their religious beliefs. But…I cannot see punishing the employees of Chick-fil-a by boycotting the establishment.


My personal feeling is that when they start rolling out the BioTerror and Cheese sandwiches (Aka The Big Wack)... It'll be from fast food chains tied to Religion .... Gimme 5 Guys N' Fries any day of the week.

There's several around but they're typically about 1/3 full at lunch. Not going broke but not exactly going great guns either.

Fuck you people. Their chicken is delicious, and I only wish there was a Chick Fil A near me so that I could eat it more.

Many people have wacked belief systems. If I boycotted all their products, I probably would have an empty house and no food to eat.

I had to go and check the Chick Fil A website in response to the comment above. I could neither believe that the chicken sandwich has a week's worth of sodium, nor could I believe that it has ONLY 16 grams of fat.

Here are the stats:
440 calories
16g fat
2g fiber
6g sugar
30g protein
1400 mg sodium

No, it's not a week's worth of sodium. It's a lot, but it's nowhere near dangerous. As for the rest of the nutrition info, I am pleasantly surprised. Shit, all that protein and not too much fat or sugar? It's practically fucking health food!!!


Not for them.

So for those people who don't care and would still buy the chicken, would you have the same opinion if the CEO was downloading child porn or promoting child prostitution?

So putting em up here in Massachusetts will be a total Joke... kinda like the Popeye's chicken that was in Harvard Square... if the sprout sandwich crowd didn't kill it off Waspdom did so quietly.

I wouldn't but, I wouldn't have the same opinion if the CEO were a mass-murdering fuckhead, either. What has that got to do with the price of tea in London?
 
You're not seriously equating religious observance to those horrible crimes you mentioned (which we may not be allowed to mention, here). Are you? Seriously?
 
Gee, how would you feel if your hair dresser was putting pig lard in your hair instead of color? The same kind of logic as your question. Your hair dresser isn't doing that so how the fuck is the question relevent?

I would let the police take care of the offender...I would not try to put a hard working soul on the street looking for another job because of a boycott over something they had no say in.

Keep in mind Stella he is saying what 100,000,000 or so Americans agree with...There are not a 100,000,000 pedophiles on the streets. The actions of Americans that crowded his eateries should tell you they agree with him and maybe you are the one wrong by American moral standards...at least in America.

Every society does not have to be as open as you wish to still be moral. Saying marriage is for a man and woman is crap by our standards but not necessarily homophobic are discriminatory in itself.

Otherwise many good well meaning fair minded people are not against gays but are against gay marriage in the traditional sense and feel civil unions would be a better path to follow.

Ah I see.

Religious observance is it, right? What sort of religion promotes bigotry and intolerance towards your fellow man?

No I don't equate homophobia with an interest in kids or child porn, but then again I'm not saying the personal opinions of a CEO don't matter when they do.

But hey, I guess you can call persecution of homosexuals 'religion' (or acceptance of such persecution) just like they used to call it National Socialism when they persecuted the Jews.

If men and women were prevented from getting married and starting families I'd also not see an issue with all this. But that isn't really the case, is it?

Back in June, David Blankenhorn, founder of the Institute for American Values and a key figure in the fight against same-sex marriage, wrote a New York Times op-ed about how he'd come to support marriage equality. He noted, "In the mind of today’s public, gay marriage is almost entirely about accepting lesbians and gay men as equal citizens. And to my deep regret, much of the opposition to gay marriage seems to stem, at least in part, from an underlying anti-gay animus. To me, a Southerner by birth whose formative moral experience was the civil rights movement, this fact is profoundly disturbing."

That "all teh gayers iz kiddiefiddlerz" story is a long disproven line of crap that remains popular with gay bashers (religious or otherwise) to this day to try to justify their bigotry. Stealla's comparison might not be that much of a stretch.

Chick-Fil-A profits have been donated to the hate group Family Research Council.

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/family-research-council

...Part of the FRC’s recent strategy is to pound home the false claim that gays and lesbians are more likely to sexually abuse children. This is false. The American Psychological Association, among others, has concluded that “homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are.” That doesn’t matter to the FRC, though. Perkins defended the “gay men as pedophiles” claim yet again in a debate on the Nov. 30, 2010, edition of MSNBC’s “Hardball With Chris Matthews” with the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Mark Potok. As the show ended, Perkins stated, “If you look at the American College of Pediatricians, they say the research is overwhelming that homosexuality poses a danger to children. So Mark is wrong. He needs to go back and do his own research.”

In fact, the SPLC did. The college, despite its professional-sounding name, is a tiny, explicitly religious-right breakaway group from the similarly named American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the 60,000-member association of the profession. The American College of Pediatrics (ACP) splintered from the AAP because of the AAP’s support of gay and lesbian parents. Publications of the ACP, which has some 200 members, have been roundly attacked by leading scientific authorities who say they are baseless and who also accuse the college of distorting and misrepresenting their work. (Chris Matthews offered a clarification on a follow-up show to describe what the American College of Pediatricians is and separate it from the AAP.)

...In [FRC's] Own Words

“Gaining access to children has been a long-term goal of the homosexual movement.”
— Robert Knight, FRC director of cultural studies, and Frank York, 1999

“[Homosexuality] … embodies a deep-seated hatred against true religion.”
— Steven Schwalm, FRC senior writer and analyst, in “Desecrating Corpus Christi,” 1999

“One of the primary goals of the homosexual rights movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the ‘prophets' of a new sexual order.”
-1999 FRC pamphlet, Homosexual Activists Work to Normalize Sex with Boys.

“[T]he evidence indicates that disproportionate numbers of gay men seek adolescent males or boys as sexual partners.”
— Timothy Dailey, senior research fellow, “Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse,” 2002

“While activists like to claim that pedophilia is a completely distinct orientation from homosexuality, evidence shows a disproportionate overlap between the two. … It is a homosexual problem.”
— FRC President Tony Perkins, FRC website, 2010
