“”...15,000 people nationwide who say theyre participating in todays protest,...””
It looked like they had that many customers in the Hixson, TN store alone on Wednesday! These puffers are pikers.
The only CFA in NYC is located a few blocks up from Greenwich Village. I could just imagine a bunch of flamers bicycling up there in their cute skin tight spandex....never mind, pardon me while I hurl.
Two words: Coffee Party. snort
I have no doubt that all of the lamestream media newscasts tonight will portray it as tremendously successful, with carefully selected and edited videos depicting nice, clean, respectable looking homosexuals giving each other chaste kisses in front of Chik-fil-A stores.
The reality is that in most stores, no protestors will show up. In the stores where they do show up, it will resemble most gay rights parades (e.g., ugly bull dykes and transvestites performing public sex exhibitions).
Swung by CFA for lunch today. The only couple I saw kissing were by a car in the parking lot - it was one of the girls who works the drive through window and her boyfriend.
I went to our local Chick fil A ( south hills of Pittsburgh) this noon to get lunch and support them if the Homos showed up.
The place was FULL of regular customers and the drive thru line was twice around the building. Asked the gal who took my order if this were a normal Friday and she said they have been steadily swamped ever since Wednesday.
Once again the left gets a lesson in unintended consequences.
I’ll bet there are lots of people who had never been to CFA before who now are steady customers.
I heard that gays plan to infiltrate the chain. They are planning to get hired and convert it to a homosexual environment. I suggest a test before hiring anyone. A pot of hotdogs and a bag of buns. Ok applicant, pair em up. I guarantee the homos will have hotdogs with hotdogs and buns with buns. “Oh I’m sorry, you failed our employment exam!”
This “kiss-in” will have the same effect as prancing naked down the street in a parade: It just pi$$es normal people off.
Will today's "kiss-in" by gay couples at Chick-fil-A restaurants be successful? | |

I don’t know what “success” would be for an event like this. I’m sure that those who go to Chick-Fil-A will successfully kiss each other. But what do they expect to accomplish?
1. Will gay kissing in public make people more sympathetic to the gay cause? That seems obviously not to me — the people who are uncomfortable with gays won’t be MORE comfortable confronted, and there are a lot of people who are uncomfortable with public displays of affection who will be upset even if they aren’t against gays. I can’t think of any class of people who would look at two guys making out and say “you know, I thought that would be a bad thing, but now that I see it, it’s kind of cool.”
2. Will gays kissing scare people from the store? Well, maybe. But wouldn’t that prove that the public was, in fact, really against the whole idea of gay relationships? It would be like protesting against “cleanliness” laws by showing up without a shower in a month. You’d just prove why a cleanliness law was needed.
3. Will gays kissing attract people who like the idea of gays kissing? Probably not, but if it did, won’t those people then be buying food at Chick-Fil-A? Attracting a new class of people to the restaurant hardly seems like what their goal is.
4. Will they get someone to beat them up for their lewd behavior? OK, this might be the “success” they are looking for. But to get that success by doing something that most people would find offensive in any case, kind of seems like a wash to me. You get a thousand people who behave like boorish rubes, and you think the harm to your cause will be outweighed by one person having a natural reaction to the boorish behavior?
More likely, some parent is going to point out that there are kids in the restaurant, and that heavy make-out sessions are inappropriate in public. The people will probably call the parent names, it will be caught on video hopefully, and will just fuel the belief that gays are abherant and uncivil. Which most of them are NOT, but you’d never know because they don’t make a spectacle of themselves and are happy with the status quo.
