What about people commenting on that behavior? Does that add anything?

Just add 'people commenting on' before the prior statement. Still, just too many levels of irony to begin dissecting them in this thread.

Yeah, but wouldn't that effect be offset by the other half which embraces you as a result? Or maybe the takeaway is it's not half and half.

Doubtful. A good portion of their franchises are located in areas with a more conservative population. That population is more than likely going to side with Chick Fil-a in your little 'culture war'.

Even the leftists on here who eat at cfa say they will continue. If even those who are interested in such stuff aren't going to stop patronizing them, I see no harm. In fact it seems they have gained business. I'm going out of my way to eat there for the first time today.

Man, is this whole thing stupid.

If the gays really wanted to cause a problem for CFA, they should start going to their stores to patronize them in droves. All the while putting forth lots of PDA right there in line.

Now THAT would be interesting!

As long as they are paying customers and not just loitering, I doubt anyone from CFA would have a problem with people coming in droves.

So their Bible thumping patrons would have no issue whatsoever at a bunch of homos in flamboyant dress making out in line.

I don't think $15,881,079,418,242.93 would have fit on that poster. Rounding could be forgiven especially when you figure that 16 trillion will be correct in a month or so.

If they are asked to leave and they do not, and the police are called with a complaint they could be arrested as trespassers.

Something tells me that CFA doesn't want to read a headline "Gay couple kicked out of store - Arrested for trespassing"

I wonder how many homosexuals support NAMBLA who also support people like Sandusky?

Not at all. But I see you are still willing to make a fool of yourself while trying to find fault with me. It is amusing that you confuse semantics with important facts, all in a vain effort to demonstrate that you aren't an idiot.

Tom is right, Torch, your facts are way off...

The debt is actually up to above $80 trillion due to future promised social security benefits for retirees.

Ignorance, just pure ignorance.

Heh, you're awfully desperate for attention tommy. What's wrong, wife renege on her monthly show of affection?

Significant figures...look it up some time. Of course that's HS sophomore material, which is a touch advanced for you.

It won't be the correct headline. The correct headline will be "Two lewd a**holes kicked out of family restaurant for making out". You can't substitute the a**hole part for whatever you want. This is going to be a HUGE mistake if the gay population tries this. It's sh*t like this that is pissing people that do support civil unions like me. If they keep up with this "in your face" type of bullsh*t, I might just say, "**** you, you're own your own. Goodbye."
