Chick-fil-A Does NOT Like Same Sex Couples.

[QUOTE="SickBoy724"]

Well... they are pretty much the only fast food place that doesnt open on Sundays, and it was started by a devout Christian. What's dumb is they allowed their opinion to be public.

I have nothing against gays, but I do love Chick-Fil-A chicken.

I never even heard of them before a year ago. They seem to be a fairly minor chain. They're no Mcdonalds or KFC.

Minor? Hardly. CFA earns more profit with fewer stores than KFC does with more stores and KFC is losing market share to the other chicken chains.

I never heard of the place. But it wouldn't have any influence on my decision to eat there.

Their business, their loss.

I'm not allowed there if this is the case...

It is up to you whether or not you wish to eat there, They never said that you couldn't.

WTH is Chick-fil-A???

You're gay???

Well, I guess that explains why you don't find any female celebrities attractive. But doesn't explain your apparently godly girlfriend......

I always thought chick-fil-a was a candy. My mind is now blown.

its a christian franchise...and everyone knows christianity is against same sex couples...it quite clearly says its wrong in the bible...sooo its not surprise to me...and i like meh chickens!!!!...tho i think hardees has better chicken strips lolz XP

How would they even know? Regardless, seems like a dumb stand for a food service company to make.

[QUOTE="BrianB0422"]I was starting to enjoy Chick-Fil-A, but I am a man of principle. Therefore, they have lost a customer. For the people that are saying, "they have the right to donate to whomever they want." Sure they do. But I'm positive that back in the 60's there were people making the same arguement about businesses financially aiding groups that advocated for the discrimination of black people. It's 2011. Time for people to grow up and respect others, regardless of their life choices. If I had a business and donated my product to an event that was a meeting of Atheists, discussing anti-christian topics, I'm sure the bible thumpers would be boycotting me. But whenever the shoe is on the other foot, all you hear is, "How dumm! Im gunna eat fifty chicken sammiches evry day for teh rest of my life! Yee haw!"frostybanana

"Chick-Fil-A donates large amounts of money to vehemently anti-gay organizations and opposes gay marriage on the biblical basis that gays are abominations in the sight of God. But they don't hate gay people."

Apparently I can donate to the KKK and some people will defend my decision and say I don't hate non-whites.

Don't agree with their views on the issue. But I'll still eat their chicken sandwiches.

maybe this means there is a niche to fill in the fast food restaruant business.

come to my chicken place it's called dude-fil-a, you have to make out with harvey fierstein just to get in the place.

Well, I don't know if I'll eat there-- it depends on the menu, as I'm now pesco-vegetarian and I haven't looked at their menu.

As for their stance on gay marriage-- they're a business. They're entitled to their opinion. It's a free country.

Is there a mandate that they have to? When did it become law that you had to condone same sex couplings and be subjected to a witch hunt when you don't? GE is a bunch of liberal trolls and I still buy their f****** light bulbs, even though I think they're political crazies. I personally don't have a problem with gays -- I think they have an incredibly tough road to travel and that what they do in the bedroom is their business. But when they start thinking they can tell me what places I can or cannot frequent because it does or does not fit their agenda, I become offended and all it makes me want to do is support that business, because believe it or not, gays can be just as big of bullies as those who don't condone the gay lifestyle.

Not everyone is going to agree with the gay lifestyle. Nor are they beholden to.

Man this place sounds awesome. I can see why they wouldn't have restaurants here in the Godless wastes of Canada though. But seriously you all make this place sound like it's the best damn place around. Next time I'm in the states I guess I'll have to go check one out.Ace6301

[QUOTE="JML897"]Why is a fast-food place taking a stand on this issue in the first place?whiplash26

I live in Illinois, they don't have Chick-Fil-A's here. :( I'm jealous because I always hear people talk about how great Chick-Fil-A and In-n-Outs are but I've never eaten at either one.

DAY TOOK OOR JUUUUBS!!!!!!! (South Park reference)

I don't eat there anyways but I don't agree with their policy. While same sex couples are free to do what they want doesn't mean I have to agree with what they aredoing. They are the ones losing money not me and if it was my business I would still serve same sex couples because they are still human, and should be able to eat anywhere they want without being treated like they aren't apart of society.

[QUOTE="JML897"]Why is a fast-food place taking a stand on this issue in the first place?starwarsjunky

Yeah I get that but I just don't see how it's relevant to what they do. It'd be like if Best Buy came out and said they were pro-choice.
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get it.

Well then in that case what's the problem?

I don't think they dislike gay couples. They just oppose gay marriage.

Anyway, I don't know of any restaurants of their corporation in my area, so I don't really care. All I got where I live is KFC.

[QUOTE="whiplash26"] If you ever ate there Besides the ones in the mall, you would know. They only play christian music, in north carolina, they allow street preaching on their property. Witnessed that myself.lolGot_to_go

Woah you're right. :o It looks like there are only a few and they're all spread out though. I'm going to the one in Orland Park ASAP (once the blizzard passes)

Well they are taking a stand on what they believe in. It's up the the consumer to either act like an adult and accept that or just act like a five year old and start picketing them and protesting. I myself will not stop going there.

@BMDD I agree with you 100% If you have a problem with there policy you don't have to eat their it is your choice.

Just because you are opposed to same sex marriage doesn't mean you don't like same sex couples. Some people believe that marriage is sacred and is a bond between a man and a woman. There is a large percentage of people who believe that same sex couples should have all the rights of a straight couple, but not the title of marriage.

lol I'll have to go in there with a friend and act gay just to annoy them. :lol:

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"] Denying Gay marriage is, oh I don't know, kind of discriminatory. I don't dislike black people, I just oppose them marrying other whites.

There is a big difference between denying same sex marriage and interracial marriage.DreamnDayUnite
