Why does anyone care what a chicken restaurant thinks about...well...anything other than chicken?

This is reaaaaaaaaaaaallly stretching it. Just because they do things for married couples doesn't mean they hate gays. I side with the chicken people on this one because they're a victim of gross generalization.

They donate to causes that oppose gay marriage. For that reason.

"We have no agenda against anyone."
It's just that they're against the separation of church and state, too ignorant to know that Christianity didn't invent marriage, and they financially support groups that work against gay marriage. I used to love that place, but for these reasons I haven't eaten there in quite a while, and I never will again.

Funny, I personally know three different men that own or manage Chick-fil-a. One of them divorced his wife for a 20 something male employee, one beat his wife senseless after she found out about his several affairs and they are now divorced and the third left his wife for another woman and the bailed completely on his child support payments landing him in jail.

I my social circle, 100% of Chick-fil-a employees I know are the are some of the worst examples of marriages I have ever seen. Good job Chick-fil-a!

By contrast, the three gay couples I know personally have all been together longer than my wife and I, have some of the best relationships I know, have amazing adopted/surrogate children that are just great kids, and, if it weren't for the bible-banging nutjobs that make laws in Texas, they'd all be happily married.

Maybe Chic-fil-A is just trying to join the Boy Scouts?

LOL at them thinking they aren't going to SUPER HELL for what they've done to those chickens... i dont think the part about being a good steward involves warehousing living things and killing them for profit... but I'm no Jesus.

"we have no agenda" then why are you giving your money away? don't give us that shit.

Is this really 1sttube? I think this was straight-to-the-web content.

You're right. The fact that they do things for married couples doesn't mean that they're anti-gay. The fact that they donate large bundles of money to anti-gay campaigns, on the other hand, does mean that they support anti-gay policies.

Good for Chick-fil-A!

Exodus 21:10
If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

Yes I watched the video, but you are the one who fell for the sensationalism.

Let's be rational and fair here. If you don't support gay marriage, does that automatically label you as anti-gay? F-ck no it doesn't. If gay people don't like straight people getting married, does that make they're anti-straight? F-ck no it doesn't. It's a ludicrous generalization.

Each group of people isn't defined by their ability to marry one another. This is the mistake complainers are often guilty of making.

And no, they didn't make donations to anti-gay campaigns. They made donations to the organizations. What they then do with that money is not Chic Fil A's business. If I give you 50$ for a birthday present, then you donate that to Al-Queda, the media will portray me as supporting terrorism.

I don't like to jump to conclusions based on things I hear on the internet, and I do love that spicy chicken sandwich with a half and half sweet tea and waffle fries.

Just to clarify; If you think gay people should have less rights than heterosexuals than that makes you Anti-gay. Just as if you think Black people, Hispanics or Jews should have less rights than whites than you are racist.

I thought we covered all this in the 60s?

Yes, if you don't support gay marriage, you are, by definition, anti-gay. (I have never heard of any gay person who doesn't like straight people getting married. Have you???)

You're correct that homosexuals aren't defined by their ability to marry one another. They, like all humans, are defined in part by their rights, of which marriage is one.

You're correct, Chik Fil-A didn't donate to anti-gay campaigns. They donated to the anti-gay organizations that run them. Same difference, as far as I'm concerned, but if you want to split hairs...

As our country is more closely aligned with fascism inasmuch as government is "gay married" to the corporations, then where/how corporations spend their money is of increasing importance to the consumers who are, in essence, voting to support issues with their dollars.

Your analogy of the birthday present is not the same thing, because I, unlike a corporation, do not have political power like they do. If the present was $50 Million, and it was donated to Al Qaeda, then yes, you would have supported terrorism with your "gift."

Anyone who says the following is clearly running an anti-gay agenda:
"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say 'we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about."

Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A Pres. and COO, The Ken Coleman Show, June 16th.


... even though he clearly has little understanding of how marriage was originally defined in the Bible (which commands that brothers-in-law marry widows, or that rapists marry the women they rape) as if that even mattered!.
