On second thought, Chick-fil-A should become the new gay hangout! All gays all the time! Chick-fil-Gay!http://twitter.com/1NatalieMaines/statuses/227464725527683072
Ha! Loves me some Dixie Chicks! Miss them.

(1,309 posts)Is there a law that would allow Chick -fil-a to exclude service to the LBGT comunity? If not a complete takeover would be in order.

(12,155 posts)but maybe I'll pretend I'm gay and go in there just to piss them off.
BTW, I met somebody who applied for a job there maybe 15 years ago -- not sure if this still the policy, but at that time they asked applicants to write an essay telling "their life story." This was an easy way for them to screen out any candidates who weren't born-again Christians, because the general understanding (unspoken, of course) was that you needed to include some details about how you're "saved," "born again," etc.
This person wasn't, didn't, and didn't get hired -- probably a blessing in disguise. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

(5,477 posts)...hurts any serious discussion about values. God forbid (joke intended) any fast food workers should have a day they're not expexted to work. Hell, my office doesn't open on Sunday. Who cares about that? Acting outraged over the sunday policy just makes you look like an anti-religion zealot.
We should stick to the very real issue of whether they support anti-gay organiztions or engage in discriminatory practices.

(14,337 posts)Go to a neighborhood mall with a food court, and the ONLY restaruant closed is this one? Yes, of course, I understand the gay issue, but a BIGOT is a BIGOT. They won't be in just one aspect.

(24,412 posts)My stepdaughter recently came out to my wife and I and she loves Chick-Fil-A and doesn't want to give it up (she knows about their anti-gay activism too). This way, she wouldn't have to give it up- and we could still poke them in the eye about their bigotry.

(14,487 posts)It said, "Let's dress up in drag and go to Chick-fil-A."
I think we should combine the strategies and make it the Gay Hangout where we hang out after the drag shows
I would just looooooove to show up at Chick-fil-A with a bunch of drag queens!
Just got it saved and uploaded...
