CHICK-FIL-NO-THANK-YOU: Focus St. Louis and the Clayton Chamber of Commerce said today that they are canceling a planned presentation by Dan Cathy, president and COO of Chick-fil-A, following complaints that Cathy and his company are involved with anti-gay organizations.
Chick-fil-A, which is known for promoting a company vision of Christian values, was enmeshed in a controversy earlier this year involving an independent Chick-fil-A operator in Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which is affiliated with the Family Resource Institute. The latter institute was recently designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center because of its anti-gay positions.
The decision to cancel Cathy's March 18 presentation here was made after PROMO, a statewide organization that advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality, protested his appearance and asked Focus and the Chamber of Commerce to reconsider.
Ellen Gale, the head of the chamber, said . . . "We are a pro-diversity culture here and certainly don't want to offend anyone. . . ."

“If they changed their name, just for this event, to “Dick-Fill-A” would you let them come?”
I laughed out loud!
I’ve been going since I started my new job. :)

I am giving you 25 bonus points for the rare triple entendre! And I am charging you $20 for clean-up on aisle 5 for my ROTFLOL! My sides are splitting and I can’t afford to do that very often!!!!!!!!
Being pro family makes one a purveyor of hate.
Sounds like propaganda that would make the Nazis proud.
I went there for lunch today.

Homo-nazis can't stand Dan Cathy because he's Christian and lives his faith. Sounds as though the perversity crowd is helping increase Cathy's business.
>>Thanks, try the chicken. I’ll be here all week.<<
Not the veal? Oh well, as long as I know you do a matinee on Saturday it should all work out well...
Checkers is a black-owner franchise and a pretty good one. I love their Mushroom/Swiss Hamburgers. TO die for.
I guess the Clayton Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t invite a Checker’s executive to talk to them because it is almost a totally black-staffed organization - no diversity.
Or would they, because of “diversity”?
Hypocrisy and stupidity have no limits, and St. Louis/Clayton prove it.
My sentiments exactly... I think breakfast or lunch tomorrow at Chick-fil-A is in order! I already eat there a time or 2 a week. Well, another is worth it upon reading this!
“We are a pro-diversity culture here and certainly don’t want to offend anyone. . . .”
Except Christians - it’s OK to offend them.
Homosexuality is the opposition to diversity.
I know where I’m eating lunch Saturday.
Except Christians - it’s OK to offend them.” ===
There you go. Hammer hits nail. If only the Christians were as offensive, aggressive and constant as the perverted who have taken our country from us.
“If only the Christians were as offensive, aggressive and constant as the perverted who have taken our country from us.”
So the Christians should deliberately act like pagans? That’s not an admonition I recall anywhere in the New Testament.
Not surprising, considering large city organizations are almost always run by hardened leftists. After all, the City of SodomFrisco officially condemned the entire Catholic Church, didn’t they?
Looks like I’m going to the only Chick-fil-A in town tomorrow.
Heterosexual “normal” people send a lot of consumer dollars, and breed the next generation of consumers; it is very short-sighted to allow sexual deviants to dictate policy like this. They live shorter lives, and as they age spend increasing amounts of their discretionary dollars on colostomy bags and AIDS treatments; not an ideal target group (unless you sell colostomy bags or AIDS treatments).
yet the schools here have chick fil night.
So do you all remember in history about the NAZIS?
Yes they did boycotts of anyone who did not agree with them, not just Jews but anyone who had that difference of opinion.
Remember during the 30’s in Germany?
Yes the NAZIS took over Govt buildings by force, threatened people who disagreed with them.
Thankfully that could never happen here, OH WAIT the state of WI and they look to spread their NAZI thuggery.
“Homosexuality is the opposition to diversity.”
-That’s a good point!
Homosexuality is diverse is an oxymoron!
....not to mention moronic.
