Lines out the door at many Chick-Fil-A today. Interesting to see how the same sex marriage plank in the democrat platform will impact November. A group of African American ministers today PUBLICLY announced their support of Chick-Fil-A and likened the stance by DEMOCRAT mayors to the days of segregation.

so should I start a giggly thread every time Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks, Boeing, Amazon, Target, JCPenny, etc have a uptick in sales since they are all pro gay marriage?

and do I really have to explain how party ideologies have changed over the last 236 years?

come on now...

Yeah, cause the media has been pounding them for their stance and politicians are threatening to withhold permits from them to build new locations.

Clearly that's EXACTLY the same thing.

Do you see anyone wanting to ban those companies from their cities like the left wants to do with Chick-Fil-A?

Yes...You should do that. Something tells me you can't.

seems their gay employees aren't very pleased...

I saw somebody who was protesting-with a very negative sign-just outside of a Chick-Fil-A. He was apparently trying to make some point. But I wonder if he just provoked the social conservatives already making their point by going there when the controversy is still hot.

Wait what? they have Gay employees?

Are those "Auntie Tom's?". I guess CFA is failing in it's anti gay crusade... I thought there were multiple interviews, background checks, and blood samples taken to make sure that no gay people work for CFA, only people who are carbon copies of the CEO..

Quote:"One gay employee who works at Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., and asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job, says he is getting it from both sides. On the one hand, there is the customer who came in and said he supported Dan Cathy and then "continues to say something truly homophobic, e.g. 'I'm so glad you don't support the queers, I can eat in peace,'" the employee, who is 23 and has worked for Chick-fil-A since he was 16, wrote in an email. On the other hand, he continued, "I was yelled at for being a god loving, conservative, homophobic Christian while walking some food out to a guest in a mall dining room.""

So Gays and their supporters are verbally assaulting CFA employees.. Ahh sweet Irony..

Yep, companies pander to me via good service, good food, lower prices, etc. and I give them my well-earned dollars.

+1 It seems that Americans are sending a market signal to CFA by supporting them. This is the way it should be.

Minority liberals being OVERWHELMINGLY anti-gay is among the dirtiest secrets in the Democrat closet. The dirty secrets in the GOP closet are at least out in the open (neocons).

Quote:Andrew, a gay 24-year-old who has been working at the northern Alabama Chick-fil-A since January, sat in his car smoking a cigarette and watching the crowd during a break earlier Wednesday.

"I call it hater appreciation day," said Andrew, who asked that his last name be withheld out of fear he'd be fired. "It's very, very depressing."

Not sure that it matters. Geez, the article already states he's a 24-year-old named Andrew who got hired in January in northern Alabama. It wouldn't be too difficult for CFA Corporate to dig through some HR records and figure it out.

Quote:But staying neutral can be difficult when it feels like the world is passing judgment on everyone associated with the company.

"Now, anyone that works there is stuck with a stigma of being homophobic, even when many of us are far from it," K said. One of her coworkers, who supports same-sex marriage, has had people say things like, "Don't give me that hate sh*t," and "I hope you choke on that chicken," while she was handing out samples.

The bolded part... sadly, that's the way of the world and can pretty much can be applied to a million things. Collectivism. Categorization. All for one, one for all, and ignore the individual.

Those poor young people, gay or straight, might as well look for another job, asap. I might enjoy bantering about moronic politics on a message board, but I couldn't tolerate going to work every day mixing it up with every other loudmouthed customer.

I faced a crossroads a long time ago, to decide whether to spend my life working with the public, or hazardous materials.

The public never stood a chance.
