There was quite a bit of fallout. They took heavy criticism, Sanders said. But heres the thing: Their sales increased.
What happened to tolerance? How can mayors of cities ‘ban’ certain businesses due to personal beliefs?
I will now patronize these places more to show support.
Tolerance is strictly a one-way street for the left.

That line negates all the hand wringing in the article. In fact, it should have been the title.
My daughter, son-in-law and grandsons are in town. Yesterday we all had Chick-Fil-A for lunch. And the reason I suggested it was pure and simple to support the chain for their Biblical stand.
As a bonus, the food tasted great.
Anyone who’s near one of their outlets should stop in,eat,and tell management why they’re doing so.Sadly,the nearest one to me is about 30 miles away and is located in an area to which I very seldom venture.
Some of us here have purchased our last box of General Mills cereal as a result of that idiocy.
Or we could simply surrender.
This comment on a public message board echoes my sentiments exactly:
Thank you Chick-fil-A for taking a stand for your beliefs. It doesn’t surprise me that all of those people who are normally preaching “tolerance” are not tolerant of this belief. It is OKAY not to agree with a lifestyle and that is NOT the same a being intolerant or discriminatory. Chick-fil-A hires gays, serves gays, they don’t discriminate against them or their lifestyles. They just don’t believe that the homosexual lifestyle is biblical.
Let's not forget that the CA people voted twice against gay marriage in the form of Proposition 13. No matter how many times they put gay marriage on the ballot, it fails!
We will support Chick-fil-A!
It seems queer that he would receive such criticism just for exercising his first amendment rights.
I’m having lunch there today - third time in just over a week. I am not terribly fond of fast food, but they are among the best in that category. The first two times I waited in line longer there than I remember from past visits, so this fuss may not be a bad thing from a business perspective. When Obama worked hard to pin Bain on Romney, it turned out that most voters liked the Bain link and considered it a positive. Now that Boston’s mayor is trying to pin a harsh “supports the same traditional values as most Americans” tag on CFA, I hope that turns out the same.
“TOLERANCE” does not exist in reality. Chick Fil A espouses a certain belief and what ensues is a “Firestorm” in the left wing media and the liberal world.
Other firms (some huge) express a public support for each and every LGBT, leftist, and anti-American cause and the only media reaction is the sound of happy crickets.
Individuals may act on a personal basis to avoid those companies, but it is a personal decision.
However, what we see regarding Pro-Life, 2 sex marriage, open religion, love of country, and regard of the constitution and its words has become the target of a “Hate Community” and its minions and useful idiots.
I’m hearing from all over that there are lines at CFA’s.
Sorry...propositon 8 not 13 (I guess I have taxes on my mind this morning!)
“Cathys candor was bad business”
Here is the heart of America’s problem: telling the truth is bad for business.
Just wow...
They need both customers and knowledge that what they are doing is paying dividends.
My daughter taught at a Christian School and Chik-Fil-A was a great supporter.
I don't normally eat at fast food outlets, but I will make and exception for them.
Our Chic-fil-a is on the other side of town, but made a point to do dinner there because of the stand they are taking and will eat there at least 1 a week... great place and atmosphere. It was crowded for a late dinner... and when i told the cashier why we were there, she hit a button on her register i believe to keep track of comments.
i should have asked her but didn’t. i believe the lefts boycott muscle will be shown to be all talk and little action.

“...Tolerance is strictly a one-way street for the left....”
Liberalism rots out the human brain in epic proportions. It’s a chronic debilitating mental disease. In the rotted-out liberal mind, they think the minority is the majority and that they are wholly supported by the entire of society. They think wrong is right, and right is wrong. While, the very opposite of their thinking is reality. The real majority doesn’t take kindly to having the minority’s values (or lack thereof) forced down their throat and show it with their money and will show it with their vote in November. Chic’s sales increased. Gun sales increased. Contrary to liberal thinking, that’s reality.
Liberals are totally delusional. They are the physical manifestation resulting of the events in Genesis Chapter 3. They will utterly destroy the nation with their deluded thinking. November 6th can’t get here soon enough.
You can bet that Jerry Sandusky believes in tolerance...particularly for himself.
It (tolerance) most certainly does not include tolerance for Christians.
