These idiots don't know when to stop. First of all, the COO said he personally doesn't support gay marriage. He never said gays were unacceptable or would not be served at the restaurants. How long before Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day 2?
Here’s Obama’s media response:

I hope most of our country is waking up!
I personally love this. The blow back (pun intended dammit) will be huge. The plantiff and the lawyer that push this case are in for a world of trouble and lots of fun from the Chick-fil-A side:
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: So, you like to eat chicken?
PLANTIFF: Yes.
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: You have a male partner, right?
PLANTIFF: Yes.
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: Do you (describe homo sex here) with that partner?
PLANTIFF: Uh, yes.
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: So, based upon what you just described to us in the course of such actions you ingest human feces. Is that correct?
PLANTIFF: Uh, well, I guess so.
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: You are aware that our company does not offer human feces for consumption in our places?
PLANTIFF: I guess so.
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: You have admitted that you ingest such matter in the normal course of your daily life. Why did you not litigate against us for not providing human feces along with everything else we serve because that fits with your life style?
PLANTIFF: Uh, I don’t believe normal people would want to eat that?
CHICK-FIL-A LAWYER: Thank you.
NOTE: My apologies in advance to anyone thin skinned on this subject. I grew up around gay men (I am not one) and met 100’s of them. I knew some of the founding members of ACT UP. There goal years back and today is to keep the American public from ever discussing the physical aspects of what homosexual males do with each other. Discussing it is a stake through their heart and they have manipulated public thinking (by design) to turn away from this topic. I think it is fair to talk about but some here on FR do not. But the reality is that this is what they do. And that is fine with me. It is a free country. They are free to complain about Chick-fil-A and I am free to point out the “feces” issue. Subject to Jim Rob & Company saying otherwise but if that is the case I asked not to be banned for speaking the truth. What they do is gross, unsanitary and not natural. I’m just pointing it out.
“Intolerant corporate culture”...code for Christianity in this case.
Unless the plaintiffs have some concrete evidence of discrimination — and being a restaurant patron who is upset because a corporate officer said he doesn’t think gays should marry is not discrimination, but a difference of opinion — then this is a frivolous lawsuit. The attorney should be brought before the bar and the defendants counter-sued for libel, harassment and wasting space on the court’s docket.
That is the only way to stop this. Make them think twice and thrice before filing something if there is the chance of them leaving with empty wallets.
We tolerated the perverts because we were hoodwinked into thinking it was the right thing to do. This time, I think it's the last straw.
Stupid move by Gays. I love it, because we can wrap the Democrat Mayors in this stupid fiasco, and destroy the Democrat Party!!! Gotta admit Gay folks not too bright!!! If they think Obama will stand behind them, they must be sniffing crack. Once re-elected, (Obama won’t be) Obama will throw the Gays under the bus, just as he has done to Black folks.
Haven’t you heard, the “kiss-in” has been moved to Sunday due to the weather tomorrow. Pass it on.
I’m not surprised. I hope this goes nowhere, but, considering the players involved...
The personal statement of one COO does not Corporate Policy make... The corporate hiring practices and customer service policies are in no way hostile to anyone and in no way has discriminated against anyone ... I have never read of any incidents of such nature...
Approve - to speak or think favorably of; pronounce or consider agreeable or good; judge favorably: to approve the policies of the administration.
It seems that the giblets are confusing the two words above. The call for tolerance, but what they really want is approval.
As Mandy Patimkin said in “The Princess Bride”, “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
If this is a public document, then everything, EVERYTHING about it should be public. Under the US Justice system, there are no such things as anonymous complaints. And what about standing? Has this individual suffered discrimination from Chick-fil-A?
We're entering into Starchamber territory here. This is like that Canadian Rights Tribunal that prosecuted people, including columnist Mark Steyn, for “hate speech.”
LGBT Nazis winning the hearts and minds of sexually normal citizens.
Can’t see where they have any legit reason to do this.
CFA didn’t denounce or deny service to any pervs that I know of.
They only stated they have morals.
Won’t go no where. Makes me want chicken sandwich right now. I’m out the door.
This is absolute BS. They did no such thing. As usual, leftists have absolutely ZERO understanding of true liberty... They do NOT have the support in these endeavors that they think, and they should be aware of that after yesterday. Millions of people - Christian and Non-Christian alike were out in force yesterday to support the FIRST AMENDMENT - whether they agreed with Dan Cathy or not. I hope this does go to court and that the Cathy family will be able to point out how they have NOT discriminated against ANYONE in regards to customer service, employees, nor even franchisees.
Chic-Fil-A has neither said nor "caused to be published" any such thing.
If mental deficients could file court charges based on THEIR inferences and delusions, EVERYTHING COULD BE A 'CIVIL RIGHTS' VIOLATION.
I can't get to a Chic-Fil-A restaurant easily, but I am willing to donate the price of one meal a week and the cost of gas it would take to get to the nearest one (40 miles) to aid their legal defense.
Take that, you pervert GLBT freakozoids!
What a queer law suit.
November 6th is going to be a tsunami.
They don't get it that 90% of the population disagrees with them.
so a private company CEO is not allowed to hold CONSERVATIVE political beliefs, support CONSERVATIVE political causes and have CONSERVATIVE political free speech but yet we must pay for and fund public entities like NPR that spew liberal political propaganda?
