I'm surprised this thread has made it to page 3. This place is blatantly an anti-gay company. Is there really a pro/con argument to be made? Stop supporting them, and if you have an insatiable desire for extremely unhealthy chicken, go to Beach Road Chicken Dinners!!!

LMAO.... If BRCD is anti-gay, they sure aren't going to make it public ;)

Im sorry, how do you mean turn the argument around?

Is it possible that you mean to ask, "If Chik Fil A was contributing to organizations that promoted the suicides, beatings, electro shockings and assaults of people based on their Christianity, would you still eat there? Would it matter?", then yes, I would refuse to eat there as well, and yes it would matter.  Don't you think it should?

I didn't realize there were gay organizations that beat you, shock you or assault you on the basis of claiming to be a christian. (where do I give?)

I don't know of any, actually.

I'm just attempting to make sense of your post.
And now abide faith, hope and love; these three, but the greatest of these is love

Hard sigh...gay people.....well I have to be quite honest, this sort of thing annoys me about this crowd. They want everyone to love them & respect them & blah blah blah...Its not going to happen . Not everyone hates gay people, they have plenty of supporters, but why are they always attcking people who don't support them? Everyone has the right to feel how they want about this particular. Group...its really getting tired to people. Why not just walk by the be hive, just because you don't like bees doesn't mean you have to throw rocks at the hive

Of course Chic-Fil-A is anti-gay. They're also exploiters, paying their employees minimum wage and giving them bare minimum benefits. And don't give me that crap about having off Sundays "to pray." To them, that's just a day they're not making money they desperately need.
well I was there today. One think I do like about chick f le is they are always happy, way better service than mcdonalds or burgerking, now I'm no service nut by any means buts its very noticeable. Ill say I have no issue with the gay crowd, but ill definitely continue to eat there. I don't understand the concept of trying to bully people into believing what you believe & its like being gay is like a religion. Like Jehovahs Witness or Muslim...its weird.

^Sorry, but that's some industrial grade bullshit. In this case the complaint isn't that Chick Fila doesn't "support" LGBT people, it's that they may be actively donating money to anti-gay organizations. The company is in their rights to do what they want with their money, but if so gays and supporters are totally in their rights to protest those actions.

It's also pretty moronic to claim that gays are the ones doing the "attacking" and "bullying" here. Your comment about religion deserves no comment.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

^ Actually a friend of mine who is gay is on the management team of a Chik-fil-a.   I presume he does not dare disclose his personal life.  Seems like it is unfair to expect a person to divulge private matters in their job, particularly when one has zero to do with the other.

I will agree with some previous posts to this point..  As far as fast food goes,  Chik-fil-a probably is one of the healthier fast food chains.    That they supposedly give support (monetarily) to anti-gay organizations is pretty sad.  That they choose to close Sunday because of religious or whatever convictions, is fine by me , I don't patronize them that much and my Sunday is never ruined because they are closed.

In a 21st Century world, I would hope this long,exhausting and ridiculous (to say the least)  process so many religious groups think they are right to admonish and condemn would subside.  Assuming we have a God, if they actually believed in this God and lived by the bible they preach by bits and pieces of, but will not fully embrace or live by, they would recognize that only ONE ENTITY is allowed to judge and they ,just because they are "christian"  do not have that right.   Again we are talking about a work environment and a business who seems to take issue with people who do not fit their criteria. I wish they would just take it to the next level and not allow gays to patronize their business and see how well they thrive then.

Sad that this issue may never be over :(

To Chik-fil-A's credit , I will say this. I have never walked into an establishment whos employees had better Courteous practice and just decent manners in general... and that is every time I have been in any location of Chik-fil-A.   They are generally clean establishments.  Many other chains SHOULD take note of this.

If Chik-fil-A discriminates in the hiring of, they should also not allow patrons that are gay and make their image complete and squeaky clean......at least in THEIR eyes.

Hmm...from what I've read on ye olde internet, most chicken for consumption are pre-adult males (females being kept for egg production). So, it would seem that Chic Fil A, while anti-gay in philosophy, actually promotes eating...wait for it....----....

 ;D

Enjoy that spicy cock sammy....LMAO.

My wife says the same thing.

However,  my cocktails seem to be more universally appreciated than my... cock tales. (I know, I know, but I had to do it, it seemed so appropriate considering the thread...)

I'll be here all week....
