Chick-fil-A gave $2 million to seven anti-gay groups in 2010, the most recent year for which figures are available, according to Equality Matters' analysis of its charitable giving.

The pro-gay movement is actually anti-Christ. It is the vehicle through which the prince of this world seeks to criminalize Christian beliefs.

You hit the nail on the head.

[Venturer]

To me Chik-fil-a is the only fast food. You get your food fast and you are treated with respect.

If I am close to one they have my business. Good food and good people.

[AAABEST]

I go the CF ALL the time. As someone who is on a high - protein, low-carb diet, I love it.

The one near me is always clean and bright, with great service. Great place to bring the wife and kids - which I do all the time. That the management is Christian and gives to Christian causes is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned.

Here's hoping the homos and nasty lefties perpetually boycott CF and continue to STAY TF OUT. It's nice NOT having you around, and CF will be better and more profitable for it. Give your business to one of the FF places that fund your debauched parades and rallies.

ever try to get in the drive thru lane during a lunch rush?

I can't figure that out. I'll go there at lunch, see 40 cars wrapped around the building twice so I park, order a carryout bag and get back in my car before the line advances three cars. Other restaurants might have long drive through lines, but I have never seen such a mismatch between the outside and inside lines.

That’s a problem I have. I want to support them but I’m not crazy about the food.

Chick-fil-A is not ANTI-gay; it supports real family values, and those values are good for everybody, no matter how much trouble some people have in realizing it. In addition, their employees are invariably courteous, and their milkshakes are awesome.

Hear, hear!

I remember the first time I had one of their chicken sandwiches;
two pieces of bread, a piece of bland chicken and a slice of pickle. Are you kidding me? People are standing in line (actually sitting in cars) to buy that overpriced bland junk?
Guess so, the do booming business here in DFW.
Not getting my cash, I have not been back since sometime in the mid 90’s.

“but I have never seen such a mismatch between the outside and inside lines. “

Just theorizing for fun. No one take it seriously. OK?

Eating chicken makes you lazy?
Eating chicken makes you stupid?
Republicans are lazy?

Totally respect your viewpoint, but maybe they've improved the menu since the mid 90's? Just a thought.

There’s this thing called condiments, you see ... lol.

[Persevero]

“that makes pro-choicers anti-life. “

I like to call them anti-baby. That sums it up for me.

[Fast Moving Angel]

great shakes too

Absolutely ... I'm counting the moments until they bring back their peach shake this summer. That, and a spicy deluxe chicken sandwich ... YUM!!

[MNIL]

They also go out of their way to hire clean young people who typically look like they’re working fast food because they’re college bound...a nice change from the typical fast food worker.

And anyone who has never gotten a box of chick-n-minis and some honey mustard there is doing themselves a grave disservice. Chick-n-minis 4 life.

[rem_mitchell]

I appreciate their political interests, but I remember having a Chick-fil-a when I was a kid and was appalled by a pickle on a chicken sandwich. Pickles with chicken is a sacriledge.

I’m breathlessly waiting for the follow-on article from Business Insider detailing which companies give money to pro-gay groups and the attendant amounts.

My tastes changed. I just don’t like pretty much any fast food. We prepare almost all of our meals at home now and rarely eat out. But that’s just my taste buds. YMMV.

Completely understandable - didn't mean to jump on you - my point is that we need to support those who uphold the values we hold dear. The enemies of the natural family absolutely despise a company like Chick-fil-A which forthrightly stands for what it believes, and will not rest until it capitulates to their evil agenda.

[MrB]

I want to support them but I’m not crazy about their prices...

with a large family, it adds up quickly.
