I was going to go get me some Chick-Fil-A today, and I totally forgot they were closed on Sundays. ing lame. We should protest that . Open on Sundays, s!
Las Palapas and Hobby Lobby are also closed on Sundays. Neither one of them are attacking gay marriage.

so is Little Caesars, what's your point?
lol neither does chick fil a" Hobby Lobby does not discriminate with regard to race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability, sexual preference or any other basis protected by state or federal law."
same here. I even had a coupon for a free chicken sandwich with the purchase of a meal, I was actually looking forward to it on my lazy day. Then I was taking a crap right before I was about to leave and it hit meThat's at least the second time that's happened
The point is that you used being closed on Sunday as a metric for someone who you should expect to oppose gay marriage. I blew holes the size of the Grand Canyon though your argument.
Paying someone else to discriminate for you is still discrimination.
How has Chick Fil A attacked gay marriage? What things has Chick Fil A done that has prevented s and lesbos from being gay, having gay sex, and getting married in a handful of states in America? Where are the attacks? Where is the war? How many casualties have there been?
But again, true Christians should take a step back from this crap and do things that Jesus actually preached about. So stop ing about s and lesbos and just eat your damn fatty fat fatty fake chicken sandwich. Go do something productive and something that Jesus would be proud of like help a blind person cross a street, volunteer at a hospital or a veterans' hospital, work at a food bank, give a bum a couple of dollars, etc....
Helping someone that is less fortunate than you is far more important and productive than ing over gay sex and gay people playing house and pretending they're like straight people.
i enjoy their waffle fries, especially if they were made by a straight person
Look up where their corporate dollars are going to, B....
Wal Mart and Martha Stewart have sweat shops. Do you have a problem with that or only when the helpless weak s are the so-called victims?
I know it wasn't the real cows that made that, because the real cows can't spell right
Yes.
Do you support all of the companies that make contributions to causes you support? Or only the ones threatened with kiss-ins and pimped by Huckabee?
Stupid argument is stupid.
I don't really support any company because I have no stock in any company. I am not a saint or a holier than thou type. I was just stating the truth. I don't do volunteer work but I make monthly contributions to Goodwill and USO. I was mainly pointing out how people are hypocrites when it comes to boycotts or buycotts or doing these kiss in things.
And you would know they're hypocrites... how, exactly?
Because I know everything. Not really but one can dream.
I call them hypocrites because the pro Chick Fil A people are saying how they are fighting for freedom of speech and Christianity yet this is not helping anyone in my opinion. I call the kiss in participants hypocrites because gay people are furious that they are not allowed to get benefits, handouts, legal do ents, and tax breaks from Uncle Sam yet they think kissing in public at a Chick Fil A will give them that? Are you in' serious? Both sides of this issue are attention s. The Bible thumpers that are ing about s and the s and lesbos that are acting out just to get attention are doing more harm than good.
This Chick Fil A crap is just like the Occupy Wallstreet . Nothing good comes from it. Just a waste of time for everyone.
1st bold: what handouts?
2nd bold: you do realize that the entire point of a protest is to be an attention , don't you? You don't think that the sit in's at restaurants were for the purpose of sitting do you? You don't think that MLK (for example) thought that walking up a street with 1000 of his closest friends was going to desegregate did you?
Protesting is for the attention.
All the Little Caesars in Austin are open Sundays tbh.so is Little Caesars, what's your point?
lol neither does chick fil a

Former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee decreed Wednesday, Aug. 1, to be "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." The former Republican governor of Arkansas says he "has been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld."
Of course, not one word of that is accurate, not even that Dan Cathy is the CEO (his dad is), and if you're standing in line waiting for your chicken sandwich and waffle fries, why not take a moment to learn about what Chick-fil-A really does, and -- even if you're opposed to same-sex marriage -- what your money is buying.
Here are five reasons why Chick-fil-A isn't what you think:
1) Chick-fil-A has donated at least $5 million to organizations (including a certified hate group) that, among other things, depict gay people as pedophiles, want to make "gay behavior" illegal, and even say gay people should be "exported" out of America.
Even if you oppose same-sex marriage, do you really want to support a company that advocates putting gay people in jail, or "exporting" them, just because they're gay?
2) Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy didn't merely say he supports traditional marriage. Dan Cathy said if you support gay marriage, you "are inviting God's judgment on our nation," and that we "shake our fist at Him" when we do. Dan Cathy also said same-sex marriage is the result of a "deprived" mind and called it "twisted up kind of stuff."
Even if you don't support same-sex marriage, do you really think gay marriage is "inviting God's judgment on our nation"? Haven't we all heard enough blame from those who claim to speak for the Lord, like after Katrina or, more recently, after the shooting in Aurora, Colo.?
3) Chick-fil-A supports organizations that have claimed they can change gay people into straight people -- "pray away the gay" -- despite the fact that practically every major medical organization has stated that this is not only impossible but dangerous and harmful.
Even if you don't support same-sex marriage, do you support fake "science" that is known to harm the very people it claims to help?
4) The media keep saying Chick-fil-A has never discriminated, but the truth is that Chick-fil-A has been sued over a dozen times for employment discrimination. That's what a leading business publication, Forbes, stated in 2007, when they also called Chick-fil-A a "cult" and reported that Chick-fil-A's founder and CEO Truett Cathy said he wanted to hire married people because they are more industrious and productive. Truett Cathy has also said he would probably fire someone who "has been sinful or done something harmful to their family members."
Even if you don't support same-sex marriage, do you want to support what some call a "cult" whose CEO says he would fire employees for "being sinful"?
5) Chick-fil-A is just exercising their First Amendment rights by running a business based on the Bible, right? Wrong. There's a line between the "free exercise of religion" and violating the law. If Chick-fil-A is violating the law by discriminating against gay people, or by firing women so that they can be "stay home" moms, as one woman who is suing Chick-fil-A says in court do ents, that's not exercising religious expression or free speech, and that's not a First Amendment issue. It may be, if the court decides, a violation of the law.
Even if you don't support same-sex marriage, do you want to support a company that might fire women to force them to be "stay home" moms against their will?
There are plenty of good restaurants that are happy to work hard for your hard-earned dollar. Why support a company that is working so hard to deny people their rights?
Some gay friends of mine got pissed at me for drinking a tea from chick fil a. I love their tea and its almost like crack to me. So, I am being lumped in with phobes? What about my right to eat and drink wherever the I want to? Just because I like their food doesn't mean I "support" their ideals.. it means I like their ing food. If I didn't like their food, I wouldn't eat there and I wouldn't be a phobe. If you are going to try to tell me where I should eat, you are not only denying the restaurants rights to conduct business as they desire, but you are also denying my right to eat lunch or wherever the I want to without getting a ing label put on me.
That wasn't me, buckets. Regardless, the person who did say that was just using it as one example. The larger point I believe was if these protesters are so passionate about this cause they sure as were pretty clueless before Dan Cathy made his comments, seeing as how there weren't any protests before.
Discrimination as in who they'll serve their product to? nope
lucky mother ers
I used them as an example because they were gonna be my second option after remembering chick fil a was closed. It was double disappointment yesterday
If you're giving them your money, though, you are quite literally supporting their beliefs, since the whole kerfuffle started with the response to where Chick-Fil-A sends its profits. But that's fine and entirely your prerogative. Buying iced tea doesn't automatically make you a hateful phobe.
I don't think the point of the initial protests was to demonize Chick-Fil-A customers, but instead to raise awareness of their business practices. To make clear what people are indirectly supporting when their patronage, so that they can then decide whether or not LGBT equality is an important enough issue to alter their eating habits. Which is merely forcing transparency so that informed consumers can make informed decisions about where they spend their money, and is hardly a new or radical concept. That it has turned into such a battle of half baked reactionary ideologies is ridiculous and shows people on both sides of the argument looking like idiots.
it's all over the media so more people know. How is that so hard to grasp?
Now this is how a person should argue!!!
I have no say on how they spend their money, and although I am being led to believe that a large portion of their profits go to anti-gay groups, I will still drink their tea. Why? It isn't because I am misinformed or am anti-gay, but they do give out scholarships to students and other charitable donations, that aren't anti-gay. I don't know where my $1.79 goes, but then again, you can't be sure that the money I spend is actually supporting the anti-gay groups. It could be supporting a student somewhere or a kid with kidney trouble. There is no way I can know. I can understand if the LGBT community want to boycott Chick Fil A and actually encourage it, but don't expect me to. There are good reasons to spend your money at Chick Fil A, and there are good reasons to not spend it there. If the pennies of profit that Chick Fil A gets from me goes to anti-equalities, my bad. If it goes to some poor kid somewhere that needs educational or medical assistance well then I guess I am an awesome guy. I made my choice based on one simple fact. I LOVE their tea. If it makes me ignorant, well then so be it.
It's not. It's just shown how many weekend warriors there are. I don't share the same views as Cathy but I won't take part in a futile effort to hurt the successful business of a donator to anti gay marriage organizations. If gay marriage were made legal in all 50 states tomorrow it would have zero to do with this lame boycott
