I’m so tired of Bigot Chicken, and I’ll write about Linda Harvey saying something grotesque in a little bit, but I think it’s interesting that Chick-Fil-A posted this to their Facebook wall a couple of hours ago [click to embiggen]:
Oh, please. Is your corporation going to stop giving millions of dollars to hate groups, then? Or are you just unhappy that you’re facing a backlash for being a bigot-run outfit?
‘Bigot Chicken’… *snerk* That’s pretty funny. Sorta like Robot Chicken’s bigoted brother?
And isn’t it interesting… pro-Equality companies are consistently standing up for their beliefs, regardless of the howls of outrage from the Religious Reich… but a anti-Equality/anti-Gay company suddenly starts backpedaling like crazy when people turn against them. What happened to the courage of their convictions, eh?
If Cathy was applying Biblical principles to his business model, wouldn’t he be closed on the true sabbath, Friday sunset until Saturday sunset? I mean, if he were serious about that silliness…
“genuine hospitality” does not include taking my money and using it to fight my civil rights.
I will never buy from this company again.In honor of all the LGBT that has fought for my rights as a citizen.These are nasty bigots who run on gods word?No they Run on hate.
The appearance of back-peddling is motivated by the potential economic backlash. There’s no shift in a moral or civil view here. They’ll continue to give to anti-gay org’s, but perhaps more quietly now. Sick!
No one serious about food would ever eat their dried up sorry-a*s excuse for chicken they pass for food. Maybe if they worked a little harder at putting out a better product and played less politics, they might have an audience other than the idiot Xtian right wingers. For Chriss sake, they can’t even spell filet!
Spending millions of dollars to promote/celebrate the immoral anti-gay agenda is not treating gay people with honor, dignity and respect. Only Satan tries to make good into bad and bad into good.
I will never again give this business my money. Hypocrisy & Hate is hypocrisy & hate any way you want to try and spin it.
“devoting a percentage of our profits back to our heterosexual, Christian, anti-gay communities”
There, fixed that for them.
I say put a stamp on your money of a gay flag or write on your money that it came from a LGBT person and I would guarantee they will still take it!
Money talks, b******t walks.
The reality is that there food is horrible for you as most fast food is. Would Jesus want people to eat that crap? I doubt it. And as for all of the money they throw at their bigoted causes—think how many homeless could be fed or clothed. Chic-Fil-A is an abomination.
“Chick” turns out to be quite the anti-gay leitmotif. Have you seen any of the “Chick Publications” crazy christian religious tracts? A super crazy nutcase named Jack Chick started probably 30 years ago publishing millions of little comic book religious tracts, each with its own topic. One of them was called “The Gay Blade.” They were sort of hilarious to read. Someone sent thousands of them to Antarctica when I was working there, and we used to sit around laughing our asses off at them. Fast forward to Chick-Fil-A, and the bigotry just doesn’t let up. And now, for your reading pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, I give you…THE GAY BLADE! http://chick.com/reading/tracts/0084/0084_01.asp
@Neal LMAO. That one ranks right up there with “Dark Dungeons”.
The last time I looked people in this country were free to say what they thought. Does that only apply if they agree with you? Bigotry works two ways.
Zorro, where does the first amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech include freedom from criticism?
