NASHUA, NH (CBS) – A Nashua Chick-Fil-A restaurant will be sponsoring New Hampshire Pride Fest.

Ryan Manseau, the senior director of Pride Fest, told WBZ-TV he was handing out fliers at the Pheasant Lane Mall recently to promote his event and noticed a man who appeared to be a Chick-Fil-A manager holding one.
.
.
Manseau said he approached the man, bracing for a verbal confrontation. He turned out to be the franchise operator, Anthony Piccola, who agreed to help sponsor the event and to serve Chick-Fil-A sandwiches there.

This is the guy that supplied the Howie Carr Show with Chick-Fil-A sandwiches on Monday. Looks like he’s playing both sides of the fence.

So this **** is profiting off of people would would not be there if he had gone public with this a day earlier. Sleezy POS. Hopefully someone will clue the pro-family folks before the dinner rush.

Slimy doesn't cover it...what a dirtbag. Uses the money from supporters of traditional marriage and turns it over to the sodomites. Scum.

Someone should point this out to Howie...this guy didn’t have to sponsor the queer pride event; he chose to do so.

I just entered a comment about this on the Chick-Fil-A web site.

Told them I was going to tell all my friends and family to be sure that the Chick-Fil-A franchise shares the vision of its founder before patronizing it.

Excellent advice. Glad Nashua is too far away, or I might have made a bad mistake.

“Manseau said he approached the man, bracing for a verbal confrontation.”

Oh yeah, like the franchise owner MUST hold the same beliefs as the owner.

Isn’t boycotting this guy just like the left boycotting CFA?

Groupthink is bad no matter which side you are on.

ROTFL! Oh this is PERFECT! What are the homosexuals going to do, REFUSE to eat the donated Chick Fil A? Now wouldn’t that be an intolerant act against a business that is offering to help out with their gathering? Who would be the hater in that situation?

“this guy didn’t have to sponsor the queer pride event; he chose to do so.”

He’s going to make the “gay pride people” show how tolerant they REALLY are, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, what he’s doing.

They are going to have to either protest loudly about CFA and how bigoted they are, after this guy volunteered, or eat the sandwiches that some lefty was hoping would kill all the conservatives with trans fats.

Would you give a restaurant your business if they had a banner out front which read, “5% off all proceeds this month will go towards supporting the gay pride festival”?

Assuming “no”,

What if there was no banner or advertising about it, but you found out the restaurant was in fact allocating a percentage of sales to the gay pride festival. Would you give them your business?

Assuming “no”,

Do you think like-minded family, friends or coworkers who might on occassion visit the business might appreciate if you mentioned to them that a percentage of their spending there was supporting the gay pride parade? so that they were not unwittingly also partly supporting the gay pride parade?

Fund the lavender mafia if you like. It's your choice.

As for me, I will continue to boycott Miller Lite who sponsored a gay orgy for decades, sponsored a sado-maso parody of the Last Supper, et al.

And the Left and corporate suits were upset over this principled boycott.

I guess that sounds reasonable. This is why the homos are urging a national boycott, they found out that a portion of the corporate cash supports traditional marriage organizations and they don’t want a part of that. Same issue here.

I would support the Nashua CFA on any other days just to support the national company,but would steer clear on Gay Chicken Days. Um pride, sorry.

That guy’s definitely not gay, he’s got a happy wife and all the women in the neighborhood want him.

After discussing this a little, I don’t think this is mindless groupthink, it’s a matter of who you wish to fund.

Some of the lefty response is just that, jumponthebandwagon groupthink, but being aware of who you support and who you don’t is a bit more intellectual.

I don’t know the franchisee’s motivations, could be he’s actually supporting gay pride, otoh he could be making a more subtle move in giving the gays a complex problem to solve, boycott or accept support?

Actually, yes. I used to work for a CFA. The franchise owners are very carefully screened and groomed. I'm completely shocked.
