They are donating money to anti-gay groups.....

What is anti-gay? If you don't support gay marriage, are you anti-gay? If you support entities that only support traditional marriage, are you anti-gay? Do you have to hate gay people to be anti-gay? Do you hate gay people if you don't support gay marriage? What is the liberal position on what it takes to be labeled as anti-gay?

They are planning a "Same-Sex Kiss day" @ Chick-Fil-A restaurants on August 3rd.

I wish them luck and I can't wait to see what CFA will do.

I just took a look at it. I reposted it to my facebook page.

Boycott's website note:

"I understand that Chick-Fil-A is a "christian" company and, just like you or I, can donate to anybody they please. My understanding is that they choose to donate to various extremist anti-gay groups.
When you give them your money they turn around and give that money to anti-gay groups.
You must decide which soul you want to feed."

What is anti-gay? Not supporting rhe rights of those who are LGBT. If you don't support gay marriage, are you anti-gay? IMO yes. If you support entities that only support traditional marriage, are you anti-gay? IMO, yes. Do you have to hate gay people to be anti-gay? No, but most do. Do you hate gay people if you don't support gay marriage? Hate, no, but it does make you anti-gay. What is the liberal position on what it takes to be labeled as anti-gay?

My opinions.

well that makes me an ant-gay with good friends who are gay, I will let them know next time we go out (this weekend) that I am labeled as ant-gay.

and chick fil a is not anything, it is one person not the workers.

Are you against those who are LGBT having the same rights of those who are straight?

what rights?

if you are talking a traditional marriage that can result in children, i would say, lets see two gays produce children without outside help.

if two homosexuals want to be married, then that is their business, but can't we call it maybe homosexual marriage and heterosexual marriage rather than just marriage, kind of like a gay bar or gay parade or gay rights?

[andrewhoya]

What is wrong with just calling it a marriage? How does it affect your everyday life if it is just a marriage? It shouldn't matter if it is two guys, two girls, or a guy and a girl. If they are married, they are in a marriage.

You know what.....I'm doing a 180 on this and supporting the Boycott....

While some people might think this is hypocritical after the whole "Gay Oreos" nonsense, the big difference is that Chick-Fil-A is practicing EXCLUSION in their blatant BIGOTRY towards the gay community.

The Oreo thing was trying to support INCLUSION and thus the two sides are about RIGHT and WRONG.


It is WRONG for Chick-Fil-A to be Anti-gay and I'm glad that the Jim Henson company severed their ties with such a despicable company.


I said before I would still eat at Chick-Fil-A.....but after carefully reading the comments said by the President and watching how wrong this really is....I have changed my mind.

I think people forget that all he said was that he he supports traditional marriage. Seriously people, this isn't worse then oreo putting a rainbow. If they decided not to surve gay people, that would be different. A 91 year old man says he supports traditional marriage (and doesn't say anything directly against gays) and everyone freaks out, really?
