Summarizing: Yes, one of our restaurants gave food to anti-gay bigots, and we're okay with that, but we still want you homos to spend your money at our stores.

1. And you can bet that just so happens to also be anti-Choice & pro-American Exceptionalism, a.k.a.

pro Un-Ending War.

[Kurska]

2. He didn't even use the word gay.

I didn't think much of the incident before this, it is like he is pretending gay people don't even exist.

3. I quit eating chik-fil-a for the this reason,

and I really like their chicken sandwiches.

ETA: My recommend was swallowed by some asshole's unrec.

[HillWilliam]

13. Not to worry. I added a rec for ya.

I quit eating there a long time ago because of their jeezobanging ways. Why should I give money to anyone if they're just going to turn around and use it against me? That, to me, is just foolishness.

[Drale]

4. But I have a friend who works at the local store

and they treat him very well. How can that be, a obvious right winger treating employees well?

[Ian David]

5. It's not like Conservatives twirl their mustache scheming how to be mean to EVERYONE, ALL the time.

Sometimes, they get lazy and forget to ALWAYS be assholes, to everyone, at every opportunity.

[MNBrewer]

6. The food is mediocre.

Politics are terrible.

[Lex]

8. +1

[patrice]

9. Tried it once. Absolutely not missing a dang thing by not eating there. nt

[tonekat]

7. I used to always want to try their product

And one finally opened in my area. But I'll never patronize it.

[muntrv]

10. Sounds like Crackerbarrell.

[pgodbold]

11. Well Dan... You greasy chicken whore; the sound you don't hear is my dollar at your registers. nt

[Iggo]

12. They can go bite a fart.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

14. His Crappy Chicken Isn't Welcome in My Gay Stomach!!!!

[Ian David]

15. I wonder if Chick-Fil-A would donate coffee and muffins to a PFLAG or GSA meeting? n/t
