Imagine if the city council of any city made it publicly known that they were going to block a business from relocating to that city because the business's owner/management made statements opposing same-sex marriage and donated money to groups that were attempting to advocating conservative values.

Because that hasn't happened.

i thought faggots had better fashion sense than to wear Jorts

is this the Orlando, Fla location?

maybe all the other more fashion in-tuned gay men steered clear of this guy

Just before Cathy's interview was published, Chick-fil-A's Index score was 65, well above the Top National Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Sector average score of 46. Just four days later, however, Chick-fil-A's score had fallen to 47, while last week, the chain had a score of 39, compared to the Top National QSR Sector average score of 43.

simpletons might not think there is an impact on what Cathy said but this is not a marketing friendly issue for Chickfila with the stance they have taken.

if Dan Cathy hates the gays so much he should just put an ad in craigslist for the random hookups and stick this in his ass.

I was going to eat a couple chicken sammies and some nugs, then I remembered that the bible said gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins....so i couldn't eat chick-fil-a...god damn bible got me again.

I have faith that our university leaders will completely ignore this guy's petition. Eat at one of the other crappy restaurants in the Atrium if you don't want to give Chick-fil-a money.

8/1/2012 9:14:11 AM

8/1/2012 9:39:49 AM

Does UNC have a chic fil a? Maybe Jose should take his petition there

8/1/2012 9:56:50 AM

^They have 3 over here. Plus they serve it at Kenan and the Dean Dome.

I supported the one near my office every morning this week. But I did that before this whole shitstorm. I posted this in the SB thread about it, but here is an article from DTH last year about Chik-Fil-A.

8/1/2012 10:25:46 AM

^haha, classic

8/1/2012 10:29:56 AM

eating chick fil a for breakfast is really really showing support because breakfast sucks there

8/1/2012 10:47:13 AM

^My only choices for breakfast are the overpriced scones and stuff at Starbucks, the regular/spicy chicken biscuit at Chik-Fil-A, or the slower and more expensive, but quite tasty, breakfast custom cooked at Greens. Pancakes/eggs/sausage stuff. They are the best, but also costs a bit more than the $2 I pay for a biscuit that takes a couple seconds to make.

8/1/2012 10:52:17 AM

Or, this is crazy, make your own breakfast.

8/1/2012 10:54:08 AM

^LOL

8/1/2012 11:02:33 AM

I don't support Dan Cathy's views, but I also love Chick-fil-a

So I think a reasonable compromise is to refuse to eat at chick-fil-a on chick-fil-a appreciation day, but eat there pretty much any other time I want

8/1/2012 1:01:22 PM

8/1/2012 1:23:06 PM

There were like 30-40 people lined up at the Chickfila in Crabtree

I watched every one of those people get pissed when it took forever to get their food while I ate my Hector's gyro.

I saw a neighbor of my parent's at the mall who was eating CFA and she was like "why are you eating that? You should be eating CFA today to show your support" ...

"bob and the showgram" is plural, and therefore "are" is correct" (i guess you though "is" was correct?)
which kinda makes you look dumb instead of me

And on this day, all the good, upstanding, WHITE, middle-class American's shall eat at Chick-fil-a, unaware of the bibles stance on gluttony and they will look smugly over their number 1 and think, take that queers, take that right in the ass.

8/1/2012 2:15:53 PM

Chic-fil-a appreciation day should fall on a Sunday.

8/1/2012 2:17:09 PM

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Zaxby's is missing out on a golden opportunity to rally gays/liberals toward its brand.

lol.

I almost went there for breakfast today but changed my mind and went to Starbucks instead. Kind of glad I did if the lines were crazy.

Bob and the Showgram, as the name of a single show, is not plural. That would be like saying "Pride and Prejudice are a good book," or "Proctor and Gamble are a company that makes cleaning products."

Quote :

"New Hampshire’s only Chick-fil-A restaurant is going against the wishes of chicken chain founder Dan Cathy by pledging to co-sponsor an LGBT Pride Festival in the state. In a statement on the New Hampshire Pride Festival website, Nashua Chick-fil-A franchise manager Anthony Picolia said he was backing the the event, citing “positive relationships with family, friends, customers and employees in the LGBT community.” “It would make me sad if someone felt that they were not openly welcomed into my life or restaurant based on their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,” Picolia explained. “Chick-fil-A at Pheasant Lane Mall has gay employees and serves gay customers with honor, dignity and respect. We also don’t discriminate in giving back to the Nashua community, donating to a wide variety of causes.” “I would challenge people to come have a conversation with me before they make assumptions or boycott my restaurant. Come to my restaurant and see for yourself that my team and I only have one mission: To serve exceptional experiences to all.”"

8/1/2012 2:48:20 PM

And you know what I'm sure Dan Cathy has no problem with that

Probably never would have, nor would any of the managers on down the chain of command

And why aren't all the gay employees quitting their jobs at chick fila to protest the injustice

Plenty of Chick-fil-A's already fire employees for being gay so I doubt there are exactly a ton of them.

Just like if a rogue franchiser decided to open on Sunday, right?

Quote :

Homosexuals are not a protected group in most states. Chick-fil-A can discriminate against them on the basis of sexuality legally if they want.

8/1/2012 3:28:25 PM

I don't know there's this thing called an approval process

8/1/2012 3:30:14 PM
