Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants
cnn ^ | 8/2/2012 | staff

Gay rights activists are planning to hold on Friday a "national same-sex kiss day at Chick-fil-A," the restaurant chain whose president's opposition to same-sex marriage sparked a media frenzy.

"Let's show Chick-fil-A thanks for their support of Love, Equality, and the Real Definition of Marriage!" organizers posted on their Facebook page.

Same-sex couples are expected to arrive at restaurants across the country and kiss in protest, then post video or photos of the event on social media.

But on Wednesday, throngs of others weighed in on the Chick-fil-A debate, buying chicken sandwiches at stores to show their support of the chain.

And Now I’m getting hammered for this by my friends.

I just informed them they and the real “minority of hatuhs” have overplayed their hand and all they did was send more money to Chick Fil A than they they otherwise might have earned.

“Your position is clearly demonstrated to be in the minority and you are the real haters, using synthetic arguments and the law to find normalization from the rest of us”.

Funny, I don’t even care if you are gay or hooked up with someone but, just as I find it gross to see a man and a woman acting like sexual oafs in public I find it even more gross to see two guys pushing their sexuality on me.

I mean FK! Is your identity and personage more than a couple of minutes in bed? Or are you some cheapened commodity?

Do you want to be recognized for your accomplishments? Your wit? Just plain who you are?

Or is your identity some cheap knock off sex toy to be thrown at everybody?

Get over yourself. I am not going to ever be for gay marriage as it doesn’t exist except to find relevance on one dimension and I’d like to think of people as more than objectified.

You’re doing it to yourself.

Here in Toronto I would love to see a “straight kiss-in” at every bar on Church Street. To the usual suspects: TOLERATE THIS!!!

I saw on the internet a clip of Sheep Smith saying yesterday was "intolerance day".

This begs the question: what is it that Chick fil A is not tolerating. What was I not tolerating yesterday when I ate my delicious Deluxe Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Chick fil A Sauce? (Spicy crisp fried chicken, romaine lettuce, tomato, provalone cheese, pickles and sauce (mainly BBQ sauce with about 25 other ingredients)

I hate it when I'm in a fast food restaurant and married couples all around me are engaging in physical displays of affection.

The same sex couples would do more for their cause by putting chicken in their mouths instead of each other's tongues.

That is unless their tongues were braised beef tongue thinly sliced, served on rye bread with swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing.

Since their behaviour is identical to that of the average two-year-old throwing a tantrum, we should respond the same way- ignore them until they’re tired of it.

Oh, then you must be thinking of RICO.

Using it against pro-lifers got shot down 2 or 3 times by the Supreme Court 9-0. It was meant as a tool against organized crime.

Senator Anne Cools, a former Liberal, made the same point when same-sex marriage was being debated in Canada.

I suspect it will be a big yawn. The gays think the sight of 2 guys kissing is SHOCKING to Christians and other right thinking people. That is incorrect. We find it mildly revolting but that is about it.

I am sure some will take it too far and I hope the Chik-Fil-A managers are quick to call law enforcement to enforce the public lewdness laws.

“Have them arrested.”

That’s what they want, just like the occupoopers. The gays want to depict conservatives as evil corporate security guards and local police using excessive force removing these noble gay civil rights ‘victims’. The Leftist media is waiting to spin the news and oblige their gay friends in any way possible.
The best thing to do is to sit back and record their disgusting and petulant behavior.

They will do what the left always do. They will get a couple pictures and send them to hundreds of their MSM pals and make it seem like it was a big event.

Two days ago there were stories all over the MSM and net with the same sad picture of 4 gay CFA protesters. The same 4 protesters, yet it was all over the news, like a BFD.

Not a word about thousands of protesters photos and videos at yesterdays event.

I'd be willing to bet that an awful lot of them will be "sponsored" by news outlets, like the way NBC rigs incendiary devices to make fuel tanks blow up. They'll show a couple of people doing their thing, and claim that it's an overwhelming indictment of Mr Cathy's religious beliefs.

The first shots of the civil war may have been fired. I guarantee there are a lot of nervous liberals out there. And even more nervous liberal business owners. Starbucks knows that most everyone who bought a chicken sandwich yesterday won’t be buying any coffee.

The LGBT just reminded all the anti-gay marriage folks that their “coffee money” is going to support gay marriage. Lots of us didn’t know.

That will sure help their cause....
For those of you with Facebook accounts (and strong stomachs), I hope Chick-fil-A has a plan detailed on how to remove gays (if they are inside the restaurant) that display their proclivities (as shown). http://www.facebook.com/events/444598242237116/permalink/449552281741712/

That is your opinion which you are entitled to.

It is also possible that Lot may have been trying to quench their roaring lust with some diversion as an offering of his daughters, - while knowingly in his Heart they would never have that opportunity. Only Lot and God know for sure. As it plays out they immediately rebuked Lot and tried to break down the door of his house. People engulfed in sin and given over completely to a raging lust will not stop until their lust is feed. As it turns out they never did get Lot’s daughters. Here it’s shown to be a lesson to all; - As Matthew Henry (so aptly) points out....”nor ever do evil that good may come of it.”

There must be a way for us to infiltrate their sanctuaries and mess up things they enjoy...after all, this is what they want to do to the people at Chick-Fil-A.

Better wear a hazmat suit. They spit and throw dirty condoms.

CFA has to be very careful how they handle this. Gloria Allred bankrupted a great restaurant by suing the owners over ejecting 2 lesbo’s kissing in a booth.

From the article

"Proponents of same-sex marriage organized a simple counterprotest for Wednesday, asking people to donate the approximate cost of a Chick-fil-A meal, about $6.50, to gay and lesbian rights groups, according to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, known as GLAAD."

Anyone know how much they took in? Did it break $100? (snicker)

A funny thing for Chic F Lay to do would be to close and post signs saying “Due to the record setting day we had yesterday, and in appreciation of the hard work done by our employees, we are allowing them the day off. If you want to stand in front of the closed store and kiss, go ahead.”

Not really a good idea. The perverts would call a success any full day of lost revenues suffered by CFA even if it closed its doors voluntarily.
