“Their Sales Increased” but will the “tolerant” left go a step further in their hatred of CFA? Making trouble for employees perhaps? I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past them.

The chain has stood by its initial statement that its goal is “to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. ...

Apparently, that's not GOOD enough for the "men of Sodom."

I don’t like either chicken or fast food, but I went and had breakfast there today. (I had something w/o chicken.) I’ll have to make this a habit!

We’re in quite a fight here and we’d better fight back.

The outline of the tyranny is clear. You work and buy from government motors, only businesses that support the democrat party agenda will now be allowed to survive, the liberals control your healthcare. Do you think they will save a conservative as soon as a liberal? The bank holding your mortgage is a government bail out.

What freedom will we have?

Talk about tolerance...
How is it the citizens of Atlanta and outer environs tolerate the damn Atlanta Journal Constipation?
A truly biased article...

The oh so tolerant Left is a bigoted bunch of hypocrites.

Since only 1.7% of the population is homosexual, the company will come out way ahead on this. When their sales come out strong, the msm will not report it. It only prints items favorable to their agenda.

“A week after Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy’s comments on marriage created a firestorm, the Atlanta company finds itself grappling with a public relations snarl...”

####

...driven almost exclusively by the bitchy drama queens in the QueerMedia. As with most “news” stories, this is the Communist media reporting on itself.

“..that some experts say could affect its bottom line.”

Or it may have no effect, or as anecdotal evidence is suggesting actually INCREASE their business.

Propped up “Experts”. What would the propagandists, who like to call themselves journalists, do without them?

“Still, this is not the first time the chain has butted heads with gay rights organizations. They have complained about donations the company and franchisees have made to Pennsylvania Family Institute, Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage, all groups that oppose gay marriage.”

The Pink Mafia not only does not want companies to criticize their perversions, it wants to dictate to whom the companies contribute.

The only way to stop this is to oppose the Pink Mafia at every front—don’t back down.

I don’t care what consenting adults do in private—that’s between them and God. But I am not going to call depravity and perversion just an alternative lifestyle as acceptable as a Judeo-Christian lifestyle.

Checking their locations page it looks like many of their restaurants are on University Campuses - that’s not good.

I liked it better in the old days. No gays or lesbians.

they were queers, fagots, and homos.

they had to destroy the word “gay” and “marriage”.

2% dictating to the majority what we ought to think. Orwellian, to say the least.

of course, while they are marching we have the left bringing up the rear. hehe

Blessings, Bobo

The Chick-Fil-A’s here in Texas always have a line around the building. You have to always wait in line!!!!
It has always been that way as long as I can remember.
Guess I’ll have to take a long lunch and suffer through the wait!

Some firestorm, I wish more companies took note of this.

The post Obama economic recovery will be mostly positive for the anti-gay stance some companies have adopted, in other words, the pro-gay companies are screwed in other ways, and will perversely probably enjoy it.

Nice things about Chick-fil-A — most of the meals are very light on fat, they are quite tasty, the quality and cut of the chicken meat is superior to many competitors, the price is fair, the service is great... I have never encountered a sloppy, snarkey employee at Chick-fil-A... and the stores are always clean and shiny ... and no I do not own any stock in Chick-fil-A... just a satisfied customer. Plus we can endorse their 1st. Amendment Stand...

Have you tried their breakfast sandwich... Great way to start the day. I'm no nutritionist, but chicken has got to be better for you than hamburgers. I like what CFA stands for and more than once have turned on a Sunday... Only to say "oh darn, it's Sunday". And the store being closed makes the biggest statement of all. I'm betting the black community will make a difference here too... They do like chicken (so do I), they oppose gay marriage and they go to church on Sunday. I think this could be turned up a little politically and a few more black votes will leak away from Obama... The linkage is Chicago, Emanuel, gay marriage and the attempt to ban a darned good chicken sandwich for religious DISbelief. Whites don't like that, but I'm betting Blacks will like it even less.

My wife and I patronized them last night, and will continue to do so on a more regular basis. I love it when liberals shoot themselves in the foot! When we lived in south Jersey years ago, our mechanics were two Christian brothers. They originally sold Shell gas and had a repair bay. They always had Scripture posted in their front window, and an open Bible on the table. Shell told them to cease and desist. They refused. They wound up buying the property, had Shell remove their pumps, and became a full scale repair shop. They told us that their profits quadrupled after they did this.

So these wizards of “smart” think CFA is going to run into trouble in the South?

Geeze, what about all those Black Clergy (and their congregations) that are hopping mad with BeeHOe stabbing them in the back by endorsing this evil perversion?

Let’s see if CFA gets a new crowd of black church goers in their customer mix.
