Chik-fil-GAY ... an honest discussion of homosexuality and the perils therein*

Chik-fil-a President Dan Cathy (son of the founder) enraged the internet with his recent comments that his company only supports "traditional" marriage (which includes not just homosexual marriage as being unsupported, but people who have been divorced and/or remarried.)
People on both sides of the argument are getting involved: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/24/muppets-huckabee-take-sides-in-chick-fil-a-same-sex-marriage-controversy/
The Jim Henson Company pulled their support from the company, while blowhard... whoops I mean former presidential candidate... Mike Huckabee tries to organize support for the company with a "Chik-fil-a" day on August 1.
I for one support Huckabee's plan. My question is where do we go to support the companies which are anti women's suffrage?
And what about the non-whites? Should we look for an old timey restaurant and/or soda bar or are there designed places to send our money to for that (besides the hilariously named "Focus on the Family", that is)? ...
In a related note, my family has come out strongly against me for taking such a terrible stand as daring to have principles and tell bigots to fuck off.
So which is it, SE++?
EAT MOR CHIKIN?

I don't see what the big deal about those sandwiches are. It was pretty average.
Hip hip hoorapmmmph
Of course, as far as enormous conglomerates go, Disney is definitely one of the most gay-friendly.
the rest... would rather eat microwaved chicken from a grocery store
That is a note they posted on one of their doors, talking about why they no longer have Muppets toys. They are lying to their customers by doing this. CFA didn't drop Jim Henson's company. Jim Henson's company came out as pro-gay and dropped CFA because of their bigoted stance.

Yeah, although they still aren't super gay friendly compared to some.
I.e. They have never directly endorsed gay events, whereas Oreo, Nabisco, and a bunch of other companies have.

Follow me on Twitter??
Althpigh @Druhim pointed out it may be a coincidence of the dropping of Chik-fil-a by the Jim Henson Company & Chik-fil-a dropping the toys.
Don't forget Google's Legalize Love! campaign.

Also the first time I read it, I thought you said they dropped CFA because of their bigoted sauce and I giggled.

That's true too. Their sauce only gives non-straights indigestion.

I might've let it drop, but then she said I needed to keep my "lifestyle to myself."
And of course I call her back like she asks and she doesn't answer.
meeehhhhhh
hey I have a picture about that!
it's kinda surprising how not-surprised i am by learning this
a company created and run by people who are all about reaching people, no matter who they are, is gay-friendly?
you don't say
the second sentence just kind of cuts off
But anti-LGBTQA (apologies if I missed any letters) is just so fucking abhorrent and disgusting to me. There is not a single goddamned logical reason for any of it. Not a bit.
not for any political reason
but because their food is all fucking awful for you
I'm sorry, man. Hugs for you.
No no, the bigoted sauces goes on the Queer-Hatin' Cordon Bleu.

Much love to all the LBGT from the forums.
gimme her number, i'll call her and fart into the phone really hard
Don't let them get you down, friend.
Also, tell them to keep their straight lifestyles to themselves. Just for the looks on their faces.
Steam
Down here, they make good stuff and their service is always stellar
So I told my friends, if they must eat there because hurf durf but they don't like the anti-gay stuff, donate an equal amount of money to the pro-gay charity of their choice as well to even things out
Does this sound reasonable
""Kraft foods and Oreo cookies have decided to toss the morals that formed our great nation right out the window and literally toss them right down our throat! "
and I find it hilarious.
Going to go toss some oreos down my throat right now.
I'd say so, if they're really worried about it.
Man, that sucks and I feel for you. Though not nearly at the same level I know a bit of what this is like. As I am sure you can imagine I grew up in a relatively conservative (also Catholic) household and it's not uncommon that I butt heads with my old man and now also the step mom on social issues.
yep
Once again, the Geek is the voice of reason.
Although I think he was being generous with the "average" vote.
Yes.
Also show them this link. It's a copycat recipe for one of their sandwiches, and they can make it themselves so it has all the taste with none of the bigotry!
