Actually that's not true. Apparently there have been a lot of complaints about people being fired for "un-christian behavior" which seems to be mostly about being gay. Pretty sure the board isn't coming to individual locations and firing people.

If that's the case, it's not really making the news. but either way, is giving the chain your business really the way to get them to change their point of view?

I stopped giving them my business a long time ago. I didn't want my money going to these hateful bigots. But I can understand wanting to rub their faces in it a little.

Yeah. They're not the only chicken sandwich place out there. Just spread the word about their beliefs and hope that enough people put gay rights before a sandwich.

Would it then be OK for Christian flashmobs to pop up at stereotypical gay hang outs?

We haven' had a Chik-Fil-A around here in a decade at least. Then I move and there is one right down the street. I LOVE Chik-Fil-A. Why do these people have to be such jackasses?!!

Maybe it is me, but I don't have a clue of what is going on...the link in the OP shows a Chik-Fil-Gay'ed Kirk Cameron, but that is about it?

Kirk is highly religious. Has his own set of "Left Behind" films about what happens when the rapture comes. So using him would be like if they used Jerry Fallwell or Pat Robertson.Maybe it is me, but I don't have a clue of what is going on...the link in the OP shows a Chik-Fil-Gay'ed Kirk Cameron, but that is about it?

Not exactly. Cameron believes gays are destroying our civilization. Falwell has become about as gay friendly as a Christian leader can be in recent years.Kirk is highly religious.

I think the plan is to drive them out of business by getting lots of free refills.

No, I'll admit the mistake. Jerry Fallwell dying is as eventful to me as Abe Vigoda's status. I just remember when he came around on the gays.Was that his point?

Having been through the interviewing process, and a having a good friend on the list for getting one of the next franchises to open in this area, I can tell you they get all up in your business in the interview.They are serious about references. Friends, and more specifically references within your church. This was obviously an issue with me, because while many people at the church gave me a good reference - my attendance on sundays, and my lack of enthusiasm for it was probably fairly obvious. I was axed second round, and I was amazed to hear back from them after the emphasis they placed on religion.Long story short, they make pretty damn sure you fit "the mold".

Oh, I wasn't sure if you were talking about the Chik-Fil-A people or the gay protesters.

I think crap like this does more harm for the gay movement than helps
the gays ought to be like Larry on Curb at the palestinian chicken place

they moved into chicagoland somewhat recently, I think, and I finally got around to stopping in, and I have to admit it was a pretty good chicken sandwich, but it could've been a little bigger -- or maybe it was so good I could've eaten 2.mine was very juicy, like it came right off the chicken cooking device.but have you had the burger king tendercrisp?also good.they used to have this awesome hot tendercrisp where they used pepperjack cheese, some kind of hot mayo, or whatever, and put jalapenos on it -- I was munchin' those things but they got discontinued.and I don't think there'd be christian flashmobs because technology is the devil's handiwork.

Which organization is worse, Chik-Fil-A or the Boy Scouts? They both hate the gays so that part is a wash. I'm thinking the neckerchief puts the Boy Scouts in the lead but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.

FBG needs a gay forum to go along with the political forum

boy scouts are obviously worse because they don't have any chicken sandwiches.
"Looking for Leagues" works pretty well.
Chick-Fil-A will do just fine without the support of the gay community.
If you want to see how NOT to run a business, check out the stock price for J.C. Penney over the last 6 months since they began ads featuring gay parenting.

While there is a lesson to be learned by JC Penney, that's completely not the reason.Penney's commendable but business-stupid decision to no longer run specials and sales runs directly counter to shopper psychology and has totally backfired. Nothing to do with their stance on Gay Marriage , parenting etc.
You keep telling yourself that. While you're at it, why don't you check out attendance rates for liberal Christian denominations which have accepted gays into their clergy and/or sanctify gay marriages?Hint: They're not going up.

Yeah because the consideration should about hateful bigots and money.

Yeah, that's been quite interesting to watch. They've gone out of their way to twist the message of God in order to appeal to a group of people who, generally speaking, aren't really interested in God.

So you're as conservative with your seasonings as you are with your politics?
Original sandwich is as bland as bland gets... and that's from someone whose SIL owns a franchise in Denver NC, aka the pin in the buckle of the Bible belt. Protest her place and tell her Bakes sent ya. She'll get a kick out of it.
