This post is from a dear friend's facebook. I know he actually did this because he made a stop at my house on his journey.
As I was driving a big U-Haul vehicle from California to South Carolina to help a friend with a move and as I was leaving California, I saw a Chick-Fil-A and I had to go take a pee so I pulled over opened the door to the truck and took a leek. Yes, in the parking lot. Yes, in daylight. No, I didnt care. I felt good so I did the same thing in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. I missed New Mexico damn it (couldnt find one near interstate). So, at each state, I made sure I just stopped in the parking lot, opened the door and literally let them know what I thought of them.
Thank goodness I wasnt arrested. It was a very peaceful protest. It was not planned but it felt great. And, yes, for those of you that think it is disgusting, I thought going to support a fast food chain to show them support for saying that equal rights are not for everyone is equally disgusting. Tomato, Tamoto. I warned you not to read. Do you think less of me now? haha

(48 posts)If companies are people and people vote with dollars then the destination of the restaurants donations are open for public debate. It very well should be an issue as to where peoples hard-earned money goes after the chicken goes down their gullet. This issue has made our little feathered friend the modern martyr as Chick-fil-A laughs all the way to the bank. Watch the poultry be nailed to the cross and pierced by the spear of destiny at the hands of those devious cows on my artists blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/08/holy-rollin-poultry-on-cross-chick-fil.html

When I visited Texas I would eat some Mexican food, barbeque, a Whataburger, and a Chik-fil-a chicken sandwich and waffle fries. I will never again eat Chik-fil-a. If I want a chicken sandwich I will make one at home and while I don't know how to make waffle fries they are not worth frequenting a bigoted restaurant to get them.
