Two News & Record reporters returned to the office in the past hour after checking Chick-fil-A restaurants for on-site kissing by supporters of same-sex marriage.
The reporters visited four Chick-fil-A's.
They saw no kissing.
We'll stop by local Chick-fil-A's again later today. Let us know if you see Chick-fil-A kissers.
Kiss-ins, set for today, were to be same-sex marriage supporters' answer to Wednesday's -- what? -- eat-in. That's when supporters of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's stance against same-sex marriage packed its restaurants in the Triad and elsewhere.
Of course, 'tis easier and probably more fun to register support by eating out than to declare your opposition by public smooching -- especially on private property where neither restaurant managers nor some other diners will welcome you.
In other words, any "I'm for same-sex marriage" kissers will have to be more committed to their cause than were many of Wednesday's diners.
Cathy told an online Baptist publication in mid-July that he endorses the biblical view of marriage. The predictable response from same-sex marriage supporters followed. Then former Arkansas governor and one-time presidential candidate Mike Huckabee suggested via Facebook that those who hold to Cathy's view visit Chick-fil-A's for lunch on Wednesday.
Chick-fil-A announced Thursday that it had record-setting sales Wednesday. The Atlanta-based company, with more than 1,600 restaurants, is privately held and does not release financial information. It provided no specifics about Wednesday's sales.
No signs of Chick-fil-A kiss-in protesters in North Texas http://www.wfaa.com/news/business/No-signs-of-Chick-fil-A-kiss-in-protesters-in-North-Texas-164903176.html
And that suits this North Texan just fine.
No sign of it in Bluffton SC or Savannah Mall ... But was surprised at number of customers. Almost twice as many as nearby stores.
2 gay men kissing at a fast-food restaurant. Guess they are using the “starting” process of their “sex-snack” instead of the usual end product. How progressive!
The protest was a “no-show” in the ATL ‘burbs...
No protesters in Colorado. It was packed though. Long drive through line, nowhere to park. Lots of families eating there at lunch time.
The MSM would have these incidents plastered across their news hours if it was happening.
The fact that they’ve been quiet is very telling, I think.
Drove in to work this morning instead of my usual public transporation. When I drive, I make a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru stop for breakfast and coffee. Happened to glance in at the clientele and only saw happy customers enjoying their delicious food and hot coffee. No gay exhibitionists.
Good point, re: silence from the media.
Of course most of you forgot that they can’t come out into the sunl... oh wait.
My mistake. ;^)
No sign in Burlington, MA. But I did learn firsthand that freedom taste just like chicken.
as a fellow North Texan... amen to that!
The media has been flogging the “Kiss In” 24-7 since Wednesday.
Well, this is funny: http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/03/chick-fil-a-cops-called-at-kiss-in-event/
“Drama at the Chick-fil-A same sex ‘Kiss-In’ event in Hollywood ... TMZ has learned the chicken joint called police today claiming the MEDIA was harassing its employees.”
You're outnumbered, sodomites. Badly outnumbered.
Chick-fil-A in SW OH was mobbed for lunch. No smooching but lots of chikin eatin’.
Same here in Greenville,SC....
Drove by the Chick-fil-a near me not a protester in sight...not even a single person with a sign. The drive thru was backed up and the store looked full with people enjoying a good chicken sandwich! Hopefully the libs will be this dispirited in November and not turn out to the polls.....(I’m sure the one protester that did show up will get a full interview tonight on the evening news)
When we visited Chick Fil-A in the local mall Wednesday, I looked around at folks and I’m going to guess that 80% of those in line really had NO IDEA there as any controversy. They just like Chick Fil-A and probably eat there often. I did see on tv many people who knew why there were there, and anyone who stood in the heat for an hour had some very strong convictions! Good for Chick Fil-A to plan ahead and offer water to waiting customers. Very compassionate act on their part.
Purposely went to the one in Irving with camera just in case. Instead I wound up shooting pics of all the cars lined up at CFA vis-a-vis the nearly empty drive thru at the adjacent McDonald’s
No homo kissers They must have been protesting at the Junnah service at the mosque down the street.
They had 4 minutes and 10 paragraphs set aside just for them.
Now, once inside I scanned the rear (sorry) of the joint for public displays of gay affection and any associated mischief. Nothing. Merely lots of kids with parents, and two uniformed officers sitting at a table looking bored outta their minds. It was busy, but in the customary CFA way. Not like Wednesday which was unlike anything this reporter has witnessed.
I thought it interesting that the cashier in the next line informed the customer that she would have to charge for water, and asked if it was okay. He agreed, but I don't think he was on THAT team as no alarms went off, if you no what I'm talking abt. So, indeed, the smell of leftist failure even overwhelmed the fried chicken. Oh, happy day!
