Trying to figure out how extensive your condemnation is, and the standards you set for it.Who cares?What percentage of Chik-Fil-A operators, employees, and customers would be fair to classify as "gay-hating"? Does working at one implicitly endorse all beliefs of all members of the founding family? How about patronizing one?Not at all. That was merely to demonstrate that they are heavily guided by their religious beliefs. It's the donating money to anti-equality movements that I think was being construed as "gay hating".Wat? A positive statement of their religious beliefs is gay hating? We've completely lost our minds when discussing RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGEZ!!!!!
Good to knowI've only eaten here one time in my life, I think I had just their regular chicken sandwich and their waffle fries. I don't normally order chicken when I do fast food so this is a departure for me. I know some people love this place, and others prefer their chicken sandwiches from other fast food places. To each their own. I hear their shakes are too die for.

I didn't have any expectations. I'm genuinely curious if working at a Chik-Fil-A or being a CFA customer means one hates gays, or is at least an endorsement of gay-hating. If so, it would explain why it's always such a madhouse when a Chik-Fil-A opens: they are vetting potential customers to determine if their gay-hating level is sufficiently large enough to eat there. That takes some time and clogs the line.Really?

Apparently I oversimplified a legitimate question.

Wow! I never new a corporation was a single entity, and not actually made up of hundreds of individuals.Ending their funding to gay hating groups does not mean they stopped hating gays. It just means they stopped funding gay hating groups. Could have been they just couldn't afford to anymore.

If you hate gays, then you hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. If you don't hate gays, then you don't hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. Where you work or dine doesn't determine your hate of others. So your question relies on a ridiculous premise to begin with, so no one is going to be able to give you an answer you want. The company already revealed that it hates guys by financially supporting gay hating groups. That cat is already out of the bag. It's good that they stopped the financial support, but that alone is not evidence that they feel differently about gays today. They make a tasty sandwich. They're a good business at doing that. They should have stuck to that, but their hatred compelled them to do more than that with the business. That was a big mistake.I didn't have any expectations.

It's called corporate personhood, established by the 14th amendment.Wow!

I agree. It was pretty childish of CFA to support the fight against equal rights.Good to see not only children act childish these days.Again, who cares?

Yes.I don't follow my fast food chicken very closely but are these the guys who hate the gays?
Nice . Typical FFA silliness - feign ignorance, then argue when anyone tries to disagree with your pre-conceived notion. Crap like this is why I generally stay out of here.Well, is a privately held company with a deeply religious foundation.I don't follow my fast food chicken very closely but are these the guys who hate the gays?
And according to Wiki The company's official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists "To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."
So...yeah.
Other things overrated:Their food is way overrated.
Seems meanOther things overrated:Their food is way overrated.
- Cats
- Jeopardy
- Your face
I didn't know it was CFA, which is why I asked. I'm also not really arguing. The facts seem pretty clear. CFA supported an anti-equality movement. Make your own judgement based upon that, it won't bother me in the least. In fact I find it informative.Nice .

You should go get it today.You annoying tools are going to make me get chick fil a tomorrow.
I don't believe youI had CFA just the other day and it was the worst food I have ever tasted. Gross.
You’re right. What I did there was embellish the quality of their food based on my feelings about marriage equality. I thought that was what this thread was about??I don't believe youI had CFA just the other day and it was the worst food I have ever tasted. Gross.
I'm guessing you intentionally brought the question up here to bring the kooks out from both sides. It would have taken 5 seconds to google.Apparently I oversimplified a legitimate question. I wanted to know if CFA was the chicken company that started off the ####storm with the gay community, I was legitimately unsure if it was them, and apparently that question set off another ####storm in here.
Agreed.If you hate gays, then you hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. If you don't hate gays, then you don't hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. Where you work or dine doesn't determine your hate of others.
You're ignoring a big part of the question, and I'm not seeking a specific answer. You were quite clear that CFA showed they hated gays because of organizations they financially supported. Is eating at CFA financially supporting the CFA organization? If so, why does eating at CFA not imply an endorsement of CFA's behavior?So your question relies on a ridiculous premise to begin with, so no one is going to be able to give you an answer you want.
Are we 100% sure that's the chain of events? Is it possible the Cathy family gave money to a wide range of non-profit organizations, then withdrew support of ones that engaged in activities outside their stated mission?The company already revealed that it hates guys by financially supporting gay hating groups. That cat is already out of the bag.
What's CFA's record on hiring and retaining gay employees? What's their record on treatment of gay customers? If it's a gay-hating corporation, shouldn't there be a paper trail miles long of discrimination and harassment towards gay people? I recognize that came off as a leading question, but I honestly don't know what CFA's record is in those areas.It's good that they stopped the financial support, but that alone is not evidence that they feel differently about gays today.
Debatable.They make a tasty sandwich. They're a good business at doing that.
If CFA offered to participate in a fundraiser for your neighborhood schools, donating a percentage of sales to the schools to help the schools fund unfunded mandates, would you advise the school to accept or reject CFA's offer?They should have stuck to that, but their hatred compelled them to do more than that with the business. That was a big mistake.
This is always an interesting position I see people take. It's quite the paradox to suggest one hates gay people solely because they give money to hate groups (which suggests those that don't give, don't hate gays) then when the money stops going to the hate groups there is all of a sudden more that needs to be considered when determining if one still hates gays or not.If you hate gays, then you hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. If you don't hate gays, then you don't hate gays regardless of where you work or dine. Where you work or dine doesn't determine your hate of others.

So do I. Hate them!I had CFA just the other day and it was the worst food I have ever tasted. Gross.
Plus they hate the gays.

This is flawed logic. But you used it because your premise was wrong, as pointed out above.(which suggests those that don't give, don't hate gays)
Giving money to hate groups was evidence of their hatred of gays. When they stopped, the evidence is gone. They probably still hate gays, but they're now hiding all evidence of that.then when the money stops going to the hate groups there is all of a sudden more that needs to be considered when determining if one still hates gays or not.
Actually....the point is in the bold.....you have no clue of one's motivations for doing things.

No one is donating money to CFA. When you give money to CFA, you are buying a chicken sandwich.Is eating at CFA financially supporting the CFA organization? If so, why does eating at CFA not imply an endorsement of CFA's behavior?

Leaving that cult was the most liberating thing I've ever done in my life.I guess if I hated a group of people for 30+ years it would make me feel better to label other people haters as well.
Gays can't replicate, dumb###.Gays need to start their own chicken sandwich store - can't be too difficult to replicate what they do.
