Homosexual activists demand removal of Chick-Fil-A from college campuses

The fast food chain Chick-Fil-A, which has come under attack in the past for the conservative Christian values of its owners, is now fighting homosexual activists who want to see the restaurant kicked off college campuses across the country.

According to a Baptist Press report, the company has been at the center of controversy on at least nine campuses, including Duke University, Northeastern University, and New York University (NYU).

Students who want to see the restaurant kicked off campus or blocked from coming point to its donations to conservative Christian charities as evidence of its “anti-gay” agenda. According to IRS documents, WinShape, a charitable foundation funded by the company, funneled about $2 million to groups such as the Marriage & Family Legacy Fund, Focus on the Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research Council in 2009.

These donations, say NYU freshman Hillary Dworkoski, show that the restaurant is out of sync with her university’s “open and inclusive campus.”

“Maintaining a contract with an anti-gay vendor like Chick-fil-A undermines what makes this university so great,” she wrote, in a Change.org petition asking the school to give the fast food chain the boot.

This is a perfect example of what's wrong with modern liberalism.

Some say people have no business imposing their moral values on everyone else. Sound familiar? Liberalism a generation ago at least was consistent without being hypocritical like this.

If you're a liberal college kid who is concerned where your money goes, eat ice cream at Ben and Jerry's. If you're a conservative college kid who is concerned about where your money goes, chow down at Chick-Fil-A. If you don't care about politics, buy whatever tastes good.

Chick-fil-a... is always clean, they have clean wholesome kids working there (mostly Christians), the food is excellent and the price is good.

Ours locally has black, Asian and white kids on staff, males and females. It's plenty diverse!

..no illegals in sight. All their employees speak good English and Chi a Fil is closed on Sundays....look at the contrast between them and McDonalds and other fast food places. Better food, better employees..and lower prices.


AND -- WAFFLE FRIES!

Remember this - it’s not the homos who are the problem, it’s the anti-Christians using “homosexual rights” as a weapon against Christians who are the problem.

You got that right. I used to live in a Mafia neighborhood. They circled the wagons around their gay family members, but persecuted gays who moved into the neighborhood over parking spaces, etc.

How long will it take for the Gay-stapo to find snappy dark uniforms and protest outside institutions that refuse to comply?
Damn Roehm Brigades

“Woman at work mentioned that Chick Fil A is “Christian” and “racist”. I swear liberals are disgustingly misinformed idiots.”

The liberals have proven themselves to be, carbuncular.
