have to disagree. glenn beck lost over half of his advertisers due to boycotts. sometimes they work, sometimes they don't

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. If you don't like the business then don't do business with them. It's rare these days that a company stands on morals rather than money, I've always liked chic fil a because of this.

"According to the BEEEBLAY, jesus specifically states that the old testament is NOT to be disregarded. So, while he never directly stated that stonings should take place to my knowledge, he sure as hell didn't disown those practices either. Hell, the new testament didn't even fucking exist at the time he supposedly existed. Also, if you want to throw out that part of the old testament then I don't want to hear a damned thing about "10 commandments" or any other old testament bullshit. Why is the OT even included in the BEEBLAY if it is simply to be disregarded? That seems very stupid, although admittedly the entire belief system is very stupid."

actually, the bible pretty clearly explains jesus establishing a new covenant to replace the stuff found in the old testament. yes, the 10 commandments is in the old testament but 9 of those commandments are mentioned later in the new covenant. i'd imagine that you see it used so often because its a nice easy list and works well in sunday school classes for children.

There's no commandment that says you should hate buttpirates and lily-lickers.

i agree, the last church i went to was a baptist church with a lesbian co-pastor

Jesus then took the seven loaves and the chicken, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to everyone. Behold, the chicken sandwich!

I had Chick Fil A tonight for dinner

^^I think you all are thinking in terms of % of the city population. As far as population size it is parallel to population city sizes as a whole at least for the largest cities. Atlanta definitely wins gayest city in the southeast.

Top cities by total pop
1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4. San Francisco
5. Phoenix
6. Houston
7. San Diego
8. Dallas
9. Seattle
10. Boston

Top cities by % of pop
1. San Francisco
2. Seattle
3. Atlanta
4. Minneapolis
5. Boston
6. Sacramento
7. Portland
8. Denver
9. Washington
10. Orlando

Top Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area by total pop
1. New York City – Northern New Jersey – Long Island, NY
2. Los Angeles – Long Beach, CA – Santa Ana, CA
3. Chicago–Naperville–Joliet, IL
4. San Francisco – Oakland – Fremont, CA
5. Boston – Cambridge, MA – Quincy, MA
6. Washington, D.C.
7. Dallas – Fort Worth – Arlington, TX
8. Miami – Miami Beach – Fort Lauderdale
9. Atlanta – Marietta, GA – Sandy Springs, GA
10. Philadelphia – Camden, NJ – Wilmington, DE

Top metro areas by % pop
1. San Francisco
2. Seattle
3. Boston
4. Portland
5. Tampa
6. Austin
7. Denver
8. Minneapolis
9. Orlando
10. Hartford

Atlanta definitely wins as one of the gayest cities in the southeast, and maybe in the nation. But I think using multiple measures gives you a better sense though. For example only San Francisco and Boston make it onto all 4 lists that use different measures. Atlanta does make it to 2 of the top 10 lists.

To the broader point of the thread, Chik-Fil-A is hardly the only company judged on this, there is a whole buyers guide.

Chick-fil-A is bending over for the gays!!

After we realized that gay people have money, we have decided to stop pissing them off. In another news, we also discovered that it is a good idea to water your garden if you want it to grow.

4/8/2014 5:00:57 PM

Because 3% of the population is worth bending over for. I'll admit though, it is a very loud and obnoxious 3%.

4/9/2014 7:11:50 AM

I've honestly thought their great business in the southeast was attributed to all of the bible thumpers hoarding to 'support a Christian business'.....

4/9/2014 7:47:00 AM

i thought it was because they are delicious

4/9/2014 7:57:30 AM

Lol they caved. Dan Cathy would have no problem sucking a dick if he made $5 off it

4/9/2014 8:21:12 AM

Doesn't say they're actually doing anythingn differently, just that they'll stop talking about it.

i was kidding. they're really not doing anything. so you're saying that only 3% of the population is gay, and they're all loud and annoying? ok.

4/9/2014 10:09:47 AM

It's just a matter of time til they're open on Sunday

4/9/2014 10:14:38 AM

I would club a baby seal for some chik-fil-a today

4/9/2014 11:50:33 AM

1 % of that 3% is way too loud and makes them sound like 80%

4/9/2014 12:28:16 PM

An injustice anywhere, is an injustice everywhere.

Nut jobs were rallying at the legislature the other day

10/2/2014 12:48:43 PM

there was already a law against it, so they passed a constitutional amendment. what the shit else do they want, what can the state legislature do to protect it more than an amendment?

10/2/2014 1:39:21 PM

when they showed a clip of it on the news the other night, it was the oldest, least diverse crowd I've ever seen shown during a clip of any protest

kind of sad, actually

Yeah, wow, being a little more quiet about their position of hate is totally bending over, poor chick-fil-a.
