A US fast-food chain will cease trading at its first UK outlet amid a row over donations to anti-LGBT groups.

Gay rights campaigners called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A, which opened its first branch at The Oracle shopping centre in Reading on 10 October.

A spokeswoman for the centre said "the right thing to do" was to not extend the restaurant's lease beyond the "six-month pilot period".

Chick-fil-A said its donations were purely focused on youth and education.

If you don’t like good fast food and great service, don’t eat there.

The sexual deviants are becoming a real pain in the @$$. They think they are “special” and they are not.

Chic-Fil-A does not need to serve good food to these people. Serve those who appreciate how well you do business.

That reminds me:

Heaven is where
the English are the policemen
the French are the cooks
the German are the mechanics
the Italians are the lovers
and the Swiss organize everything

Hell is where
the German are the policemen
the English are the cooks
the French are the mechanics
the Swiss are the lovers
and the Italians organize everything

The proper place for a queer is in a closet. Not on TV and not in public

Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.

Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Matthew 10:14-15

Their loss. I guess it’s back to the chip shop. Me, I’ll get lunch at Chik-Fil-A.

Everything must serve perverts or it should not exist.

Frankly, homosexual acts should have never been legalized. Even if poorly enforced those statutes protected us from these nitwits run amuck in society.

You need to remove the GIBLETS before you can enjoy the chicken.

To leave yourself with greasy fish n chips because you shut down Chick-fil-A seems to me to represent the depths of culinary debauchery.

The Catheys would rather walk away than compromise their values.

This would not be the case if typical corporate types ran the company. They’d fold and capitulate quicker than you could say Waffle Fries.

MBA’s are destroying the world.

Have you looked at the range of restaurants in Britain these days. Even the Brits don't eat British cuisine.
