Chick-fil-A 'kiss in' protest tries to challenge appreciation day
LA Times ^ | Aug 3 2012 | Unattributed

Posted on 08/03/2012 6:58:21 AM PDT by scottjewell

Two days after backers of Chick-fil-A converged on locations around the nation in support, gay rights backers plan to strike back with a decidedly different kind of activism.

Activists are planning a "National Same-Sex Kiss Day at Chick-fil-A" on Friday. As part of the event, couples are encouraged to go one of the chicken restaurant's locations and take a photo or video of themselves kissing.

It remains unclear whether this protest will generate the huge crowds that turned out Wednesday to a show of support for the company's CEO, who ignited a national debate by publicly expressing his opposition to same-sex marriage.

As of Thursday evening, a few people had posted photos on the "Kiss Day" website.

"Let's show Chick-fil-A thanks for their support of Love, Equality, and the Real Definition of Marriage! Invite your friends!" organizers said on its Facebook page.

The move comes after thousands of restaurant supporters came out to back the CEO's stance. In some cases, there were long lines at locations.

If you run into any “protesters”, don’t forget to point and laugh.

That's laughbable. There aren't enough homosexuals in existance to match those crowds.

The only way they could do it is if they organized a bus tour and went from one Chick-Fil-A to the next.

I bet somewhere they do just that.

One glance at their location map shows me that CFA is generally not located in the gay meccas...there are a few in California, so some LA tv crew is going to find a half dozen people staging a kiss in, and the big cable networks will push the story that it happened everywhere....but it will be a lie.

That might make a strong statement. ;) In any case, I think they are going to need a larger group of protesters:

Whats funny is that the number of people turning out Wednesday in support of Chick-Fil-A probably exceeds the total gay population in the U.S.

On Thursday I had the spicy chicken with waffle fries and sugar free lemonade.

I mixed their hot sauce with mayo to make a really good french fry dip.

Before my 50 minute commute home, I had a Peach shake. I was blown away by how good that thing was. and the chunks of peach were awesome.

When I got home I had a regular chicken sandwitch and fries waiting for me. It had jalapeno cheese and it was yummy too.

I may get a chicken salad today.

It ‘breaks my heart’ to say it, but in my old Bronx neighborhood, guys kissed all the time...

sometime the outcome was not so good.

It has been awhile so for review:

“We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, ...wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us. All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our holy gods are handsome young men. ...We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed...”

am not a fast food person, but it will be my choice on the rare occasion that I am. I am not alone.

No, you are not alone. I, too, am not a fast food person but my money will be spent at CFA when I do want some. Emmanual and others did us a favor in an odd sort of way. It woke people up to who is running this country and where we are going. I believe it was Geraldo Rivera said this AM on Fox that the momentum at CFA will die down soon but he missed the big picture, as most liberals do. We are going to eat there not only because the food is good and a decent price, but we are in solidarity with the moral beliefs that the president of that company has. It has nothing to do with hatred for gays or their rights as individuals to have sex with whomever they choose. It has everything to do with what the Holy Word of God teaches and our belief in the God who gave us His Word. We don’t believe in bestiality either, but I guess that will be another fight down the road some time. IMHO.

Horrible, horrible writing.

Two days after backers of Chick-fil-A converged on locations around the nation in support, gay rights backers plan to strike back with a decidedly different kind of activism. {In support of what? Who writes these sentences?}

It remains unclear whether this protest will generate the huge crowds that turned out Wednesday to a show of support for the company's CEO, who ignited a national debate by publicly expressing his opposition to same-sex marriage. {Really, anyone excepts the same crowds today of kissing gays?}

As of Thursday evening, a few people had posted photos on the "Kiss Day" website. {Few sounds more in line with reality}

"Let's show Chick-fil-A thanks for their support of Love, Equality, and the Real Definition of Marriage! Invite your friends!" organizers said on its Facebook page. {That was Wednesday, you missed it}

The move comes after thousands of restaurant supporters came out to back the CEO's stance. In some cases, there were long lines at locations. {Where were there not long lines?}

Chick-fil-A drew criticism after Chief Executive Dan Cathy recently said he and his company were against gay marriage. The comments drew strong reactions, with customers pledging to boycott the chain and some mayors proclaiming they would not allow Chick-fil-A to open in their cities. {Or gaystapo – either way}.

Yes, I think this is how they speak to one another in what they think is the privacy of the boardrooms of the big gay organizations.

Ah, yes. The “news” media: free advertising for all things “progressive”. Not a word they spoke about Appreciation Day, but they will talk up a storm about a pending homo protest to drum up the numbers.

These gays are so stupid. They have non-gay supporters such as Meghan McCain. But nobody is going to kiss Meghan McCain.
