It's a half-assed Popeyes that is owned by bible thumping hate mongers that want to destroy homosexuals, kale and puppies among other things. They take political stances on all kinds of fucked up issues and people are starting to get fed up with their shit pretty much across the board.

except that chick-fil-a isn't just stating they don't like homosexuals, they fund churches and programs that aim at preventing gays from their personal pursuit of happiness. these programs and churches also happen to promote harmful behavior that leads to out-casting and denial rather than understanding and acceptance, especially among bullied gay youth.

its fine to have your beliefs but when you start affecting how other people live their lives because of your personal beliefs then fuck you.

by your own logic, you can say fuck you to the mayor of boston. because he's dictating how the owners of chick fil a are running their business, making a profit, and in the end running their business life. which is their personal pursuit of happiness.

and i'd like to see your evidence of this funding that trickles down to the bullying of gay youth. your statements are rash and ill-informed, simply because you hate any belief that contradicts yours.

you're a fucking moron.

we live in a country the civil rights of all citizens are to be upheld and protected regardless of personal opinion. when a corporation like chick-fil-a publicly speaks out against these fundamental rights, they're contradicting the laws of the state and deserve to be ostracized.

this is america. we have more civil liberties and less responsibilities than just about any civilized western democracy. if you can't deal then go move to fucking somalia and see how far your "pursuit of happiness" takes you when the government is nonexistent.

Let me get this straight...

One is business that people don't like because they donate their company profits into groups that support laws that will force their personal beliefs onto many others who don't share those same beliefs to...

...a group of people who have a different sexual preference that want to be treated as equals?

I think we know the level of intelligence we are dealing with here...

http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201207020001

Its common knowledge that chick-fil-a has been donating to anti-gay groups for years now. Maybe you should at least TRY a google search before you dismiss blatantly obvious facts. Its also common sense at work when you know that its damaging to tell a teen that him/her being gay isn't natural but its a disease, a condition, that can be cured and that he's wrong for doing something that he/she cannot help... oh yeah that's so healthy for a kid with self-esteem issues already that has to deal with children of ignorant adults who are, as you know, a lot more mean than a pastor saying that being gay will send you to eternal damnation.

But hey what do I know, the only gay person I've ever met was in my ass... which is awkward because she had a penis... does that make me lesbian or just slutty?

Chick-Fil-A is one of the stupidest companies out there - period.

Alienating an entire part of the population because you have some beef with how they live their lives? get over yourself... This is why you couldn't even shake a STICK at KFC when it comes to fast food chicken...

And then, lets not forget the frivolous lawsuits like the one against "eat more Kale"

Read this thread to understand:

https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/685246/

^as if "Eat More Kale" has any similarity to "Eat Mor Chikn" or whatever awful misspellings Chick-Fil-A does... They have nothing better to do whatsoever.

They even fired a guy in Houston, because he was muslim and he chose not to take part in "employee prayer". How discriminatory is that? and Employee PRAYER? THE FUQ? I'd have a fit.

Next time I go to Sacramento, I think I seriously might have to stand outside one of the locations there, and protest... HARD. with a big fucking rainbow flag, telling S. Truett Cathy to get the fuck out of my home state..

Chick fil a to gays "we don't like your kind around here!"

Mayor Menino to Chick fil a "Not in my city!"

Shouldn't such an inclusive Mayor approach this with a little more diplomacy. Maybe engage the CEO of Chick fil a in conversation about their differing views.

Nah, just go Kindergarten politics instead. That will make headlines!

Let chick fil a open up and waste a bunch of money on a store that the people will boycott, don't abuse your power as the mayor.

Lol. Being gay and wanting the same rights as everyone else receives isn't an opinion. That's like slandering black people, and their expectations for civil rights and expecting no backlash man...

Chick-Fil-A discriminates anything that isn't KKK-material... being white, protestant christian (or perhaps more-so southern baptist, christian), and straight as a brand new tape measure edge.

Gays get annoyed at this discrimination because are told by groups which live their lives by some non-universally accepted book - that has had it's scriptures butchered and rewritten, and poorly interpreted for ages - that they can't receive the same rights and treatment as everyone else, within a country that explicitly states everyone's to be treated equal, just because they have a sexual orientation that clashes with the interpretations of aforementioned book.

This is america, you should be able to have a relationship with whomever the fuck you want, and be able to marry whoever the fuck you want. Get over yourself if that bothers you.

Enjoy your cancermeat. I'll leave Louis CK to finish off this lesson in a more... say... 'to the point' sort of manner.

youre contradicting the first amendment. chik fil a can say whatever they damn well please, and they can give money to whoever they damn well please.

they arent breaking any laws. they have done nothing wrong. morals and values are subjective. but trying to say they contradict the "laws of the state" is simply not true. what laws have they contradicted? they dont like gays? you clearly dont like people who dont like gays. therefore you have contradicted the "laws of the state" but objecting to their pursuit of hatred.

just because some people dont agree with their opinion somehow implies they have contradicted a law? youre right though, ryano is the fucking moron

They can do whatever they damn please, sure. But what kind of retarded business practice is it, to single out a group of potential customers, and potential employees, even... and tell them they're not welcome in your place and they are going to hell.

To not expect backlash for that kind of thing, or in this case, not being welcome in Boston, is fucking stupid. I'm surprised they'd even think they would do WELL in Boston, based on the proximity to the issues they have with that guy telling people to eat more kale (because it's fucking healthy, so why the shit not...), and the fact that Boston is a very gay friendly, diverse, and ultimately LIBERAL locale with many educated people who don't have a second of time for hate mongering idiots from the south... I understand Chicago is taking a stand on them as well, and I'm sure as FUCK that places such as San Francisco, LA, and New York, would chase them out of town with pitchforks and torches...

I mean.. In N Out is a religious, family owned establishment out here in California. They throw bible verse lines like "john 3:16" etc on every single french fry holder, burger wrapper, and takeout bag they have...

...but at the same time they aren't fucking going around saying muslims can't work for them, and funding anti-homosexual groups. They maintain a neutral opinion on that stuff, and merely promote their beliefs in a non-abrasive, welcoming manner. that's absolutely 100% fine by me, and I don't mind it for a second. Hell... they even pay well. I'd work for that company for sure.

Meanwhile, the Cathys of Chick-Fil-A would probably shake hands with Fred Phelp's Westboro Baptist Church, for christ sake.

Quoting for emphasis.

It's a double standard. If a conservative speaks up in something they believe, all of a sudden they're racist, bigots, hate mongering, or worse. But if a liberal speaks up for something they believe in, it's because they're fair, just, and standing up for the right people.

Actions speak louder than words man. They co-sponsored some bullshit anti-gay marriage thing with the Pennsylvania Family Institute (which is an anti-gay marriage group) that had filed a brief against the trial which struck down California's Prop 8 (yeah. A Pennsylvania group bitching about something in california? GTFO..)

They have sponsored millions of dollars, directly and indirectly to go to anti-gay groups. That is not tolerable by me. They might as well be giving money to the KKK as far as I'm concerned.

Not only that, but they fired a man in Houston, because he didn't want to take part in a fucking employee PRAYER.. which, likely being a christian prayer, of course he wasn't going to want to take part in that crap. What christian would want to take part in a Muslim Prayer? Stupid shit.

They already HAVE lost business due to their beliefs and actions... I and thousands of other people would never eat there based on this alone, and universities across the country have told them to either get off their campus, or that they aren't allowed on campus (they are one of the chains that tries to get a spot on different college campuses - kinda like how Subway, Jamba Juice, and Burger King do) If they didn't make the actions they have, and treat employees like they have, then people wouldnt give a shit... to top it off, they file frivolous lawsuits against honourable citizens in states that don't even have one of their locations? oh fuck that...

America in this case, does respect the first amendment, and it's absolutely legal for the city of Boston, different college campuses, and any other city in the country, to tell Chick-Fil-A that they don't have a place within their city limits... and that they are no more welcome to set up shop in their town, as any proud and loud gay would be welcome to work for them as a company executive.

Last but not least, they will lose business in the new england region of the united states. Dumb business practices will eventually drown them out in entire parts of the country as long as they don't change their stance and realize their actions are shooting themselves in the foot. Boston won't be the last city to close the door on them.. They might be just fine as a company where they currently are, but they won't be entering the most profitable markets in the country anytime soon, and their growth will become slow and stagnate. They'll never be KFC.

10/10. In fifty years we'll be looking back on the anti-gay marriage activists the same way we look back at the bigots of the civil rights movement.

You can think that's not ok all you want, as is your right- but by the freedoms provided by this state they also have the right to be married- just like you and just like you have the right to believe whatever you want.

nazis have a right to hate people. people have a right to hate nazis. but to try and say that one is right and one is wrong is impossible. or that somehow the people who hate the nazis hatred is justified because it would not exist without the hatred the nazis possess is just poor justification for really the same mentality.

both can hate each other. than neither group is any better than the other because they both hate. cause and effect just tries to put the blame for your own actions on somebody else, when really its all on you

also, chick-fil-a is pretty damn good, eat there at least once a week.

Company prayer forced on a Muslim who, when he refused, was fired. Also they support lobbying and anti-gay rights groups. This is also an attempt to revoke legislation that affords gays equal rights. I hope that's simple enough for you- I tried to look for a "crayon" font but we dont have one.
