Gay rights group Equality Illinois is organizing a “Kiss-in” at Chick-Fil-A restaurants nation-wide in response to the statements by CEO Dan Cathy, who confessed he was “guilty as charged” when asked about his “support of the traditional family.”
CBS News reports that Cathy’s statement in a recent interview was:
“We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”
The fall out from the Chick-Fil-A CEO’s statement has been widespread, with people like Mike Huckabee joining in support with the company, but gay and lesbian rights groups urging people to boycott the restaurant for their lack of equality.
While the company itself has attempted to backtrack from Cathy’s comments, saying that they strive to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,” their attempts have been unsuccessful.
Equality Illinois has dubbed their campaign “Flick-the-Hate,” and the group is also urging people to sign a petition that will be geared toward universities and malls that host Chick-Fil-A restaurants. The group stated:
“As we challenge the company’s anti-LGBT policies, we must also ask these universities and mall owners why they want to do business with a company that holds up hate as a family value.”
A Facebook group has since been created with the title “National Same Sex Kiss Day At Chick Fil A,” and describes itself by saying:
“Unless you’ve been living under a rock this week you’ll have noticed that Chick Fil A has officially come out against the LGBTQ community. (For those of you who have been living under a rock, or just want to read it again, here’s the article http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-chick-fil-a-gay-marriage-20120719,0,5713061.story)
“In honor of their support for love, equality, and the real definition of family, we’re holding a NATIONAL Same Sex Kiss Day at Chick Fil A’s around the country. So grab a friend (or 20) and head out to your nearest Chick Fil A! And don’t forget to post photos/videos of it here! For all the world to see!”
CBS Local notes that Equality Illinois is also urging that people make August 1 an “Eat For Love” day, where participants eat at restaurants that openly support gay marriage. They are asking that participants post where they are planning to stage their “kiss-in” protests, and to also send pictures.
Equality Illinois states that at the “kiss-in,” “LGBT supporters will show their disdain for Chick-Fil-A’s policies with public displays of affection in front of their restaurants.”
The cows say, let them mos kiss.
The "kiss-in" day is the day I would be going to a CFA, if I had one to go to, that is. I hope with all the money CFA is bringing in from this, they expand in Michigan.
We took-out Chick-Fil-A today across from Hollywood Hight School. The place was very crowded, but as the operation is so efficient it took practically now time at all. And the staff was very friendly, greeting me by name as I drove up to their pick-up window.
Swell service, swell food!
I’d bet their making a whole lot more money with all the publicity.
Cowards, deviant, perverts and scum that they are, they’ll stay in *Blue Areas* where they have lib-dem gov’t allies and can get away with such anti-American crap.
Stories about things that were not where they normally
should be.....like light bulbs?
Have heard it before, if that isn’t the defination
of crazy I don’t know what is.
It is taken from a CBS news report, and the Facebook event page of the Equality group in Illinois. The links are on the piece. It is valid info.
For some reason these verses come to mind.
Gen 19:4 But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. 5 They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!”
6 So Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. 7 “Please, my brothers,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do with them as you wish. But please, leave these men alone, for they are my guests and are under my protection.”
9 “Stand back!” they shouted. “This fellow came to town as an outsider, and now he’s acting like our judge! We’ll treat you far worse than those other men!” And they lunged toward Lot to break down the door.
10 But the two angels[a] reached out, pulled Lot into the house, and bolted the door. 11 Then they blinded all the men, young and old, who were at the door of the house, so they gave up trying to get inside.
The gay community does not seem to realize they are driving people away from their cause with their bahavior. They have no real greivances. They know their explicit sexual behavior disgusts people. Hell, explicit sexual behavior of heterosexuals in public places is disgusting. It is not something you do in a family environment.
Everything about their behavior screams they despise a family in any real sense of the word. They live to shock and offend and they do not care if there is a five year old standing there. If that is their idea of family, this is not a war they can win.
We got take out there today too and I also noticed that they called my order by name instead of a number. Took them only 3 or 4 minutes to put together my 6 sandwiches and other sundry items. Gotta stock up for Sunday!
So, the sodomites want to be treated with dignity, so they have a kiss-in in public. Why don’t they just fornicate and really be rude and show us their true natures?

I think CFA should call for a counter protest, having married couples and families show up expressing affection.
The core issue is standards, not healthcare, taxes, or federal spending, which are all merely symptoms. Until standards - whether they be biblical, constitutional, or societal - are recognized and honored, nothing we do will hold together.
Of course they will. They will not give up throwing massive hissy fits.
You have to understand that the organizers/’leadership’ of the homo agenda groups very literally think us ‘breeders’ are subhuman. That’s no exaggeration. They very much see themselves as superior in every way. Physically, intelectually, financially...all of it.
They do the crap they do as the Nazis, notorious for their homosexuals that they were, did the crap thy did. If you have the time, read up on the whole ‘homo superior’ ethos they have going on. It sounds like a bad James Bond plot but they do think like that.
Absolutely right, all the way brother.
It would be a darn shame if someone carrying a tray full of sodas or milkshakes was to trip over a shoelace and spill it on the kissing couples.
