I would estimate it was more like millions of people that showed up on appreciation day, if every one of the 1,600 restaurants had massive crowds throughout the day, and that's what reports say happened.

I agree with your estimation.

And I am glad that the Chick-Fil-A incident happened, and that it escalated as it did in the pre-election season.

For years I had been wondering what could happen to cause a significant backlash against the arrogant and invasive rainbow agenda.

One need not hate gays, nor feel they should have no rights or protections (such as civil unions and protections against prejudice in employment, etc.) to want to see a formidable pushback against an aggressive and bullying lobby seeking to undermine the social order. They have over-reached, and I believe the CFA event was providential.

Exactly. I think Chickfila did finally illustrate for many where the SSM debate is going. There is no giving in just a little and then leaving it at that. Once gay marriage is endorsed they will push even harder for religious discrimination. They indeed already have every where they have managed to get it ssm approved. They have proven they won’t be happy till the gay propaganda is the only acceptable position to hold. They already have intimidated and virtually taken over research science on the issue however it was good to see some push back over the Regnerus Study. We faced the same thing with Global Warming. There was a time when it appeared we had lost the battle as with abortion, unions, etc. Who would’ve thought it possible that we would be able to push back a full on assault by unions? We did and we can do the same with LGBT activists.

with one of them warning “there will be profound consequences” if gay marriage is legalized.

THAT is the understatement of the year!

remember assurances that Catholic adoption agencies would not be forced, after new gays laws were passed?
...yet already, many have been forced to close their doors.

The CFA appreciation day event galvanized many folks. SSM is not just wrong in the biblical sense, but, also wrong in common sense. Anyone who believes two people of the same gender can be described as a family unit is confused and lacks the ability to reason. In nature, when male animal tries to copulate with another male that animal is attacked and maimed if not killed. The homosexual agenda is pushed my the media in many forms as normal, sorry it is not normal, copulate and populate requires a male & female.
