Nicknamed “Jesus chicken” by jaded secular fans and embraced by Evangelical Christians, Chick-fil-A is among only a handful of large American companies with conservative religion built into its corporate ethos. But recently its ethos has run smack into the gay rights movement. A Pennsylvania outlet’s sponsorship of a February marriage seminar by one of that state’s most outspoken groups against homosexuality lit up gay blogs around the country. Students at some universities have also begun trying to get the chain removed from campuses.
“If you’re eating Chick-fil-A, you’re eating anti-gay,” one headline read.

LOVE the Chik Fil-A chain here in Texas, our family simply likes the food.
But also... I drive by one of their stores each day on my way to work and have to gladly admit that I feel really good about seeing ‘Closed Sunday’ on the sign out front. To me it says a lot of good about who I’m spending my money with.
Alternate headline:
Gay Activists Choke Chicken Chain........
I you are reading the NYT, you are reading gay.
Anyone notice how quickly and widely this story has been embraced by the MSM? “Homosalesmanship” at its finest.
Gay Chickens Best Dish Served at Chik-a fellatio
I’ve never eaten at one, but now if I see one, I’ll be sure to stop in and have a bite.
we love chickfila, and since reading these stories i started jonesing for their nuggets. we will definitely be getting dinner from them today as a showing of our support.
Real good wraps on their menu

How discriminatory can you get!!!
Chic fil A is notable for the general atmosphere inside the restaurant. It’s a completely different experience from other fast food places.
What I notice is, the place is clean and the employees are not only polite, they are pleasant.
I feel like chicken tonight
If the Gaystapo targets Chick-Fil-A, does it mean boycotts or Alinsky-style invasions?
There’s a brand new Chick-Fil-A on a street considered the east boundary of the University of South Carolina here in Columbia. Years ago some wag wrote that compared to the rest of the state, `U.S.C. is a seething hotbed of dangerous left-wing extremists’. This was sarcasm, of course.
I intend now to go there at least once a week, in support. Wonder if I’ll need a camera and/or Mace.
;^)
it isn’t as prevalent in California as some of the chains, but we do have 3 in the greater Sacramento area:

hey go cards...stutter much? LOL
Gays only use the restrooms at Chick-Fil-A anyway.
didnt da gays use to do this to Cracker Barrell??
They still manage to make money even being closed Sunday and giving away thousands of dollars in food for community service projects. You would think God is on their side or something.
I live in San Jose, and apparently their closest store is in Fairfield.
OTOH, I drive through Fairfield pretty regularly, and it’s usually where I stop for dinner on the way up to Willows. I just might pay them a visit next time I’m passing through (partly to support them, but also because I’ve heard their food is quite good).
Exactly right. The worst that could happen with a gay boycott, is that you could lose about 5% of your customer base.
