‘Chick-fil-A for gays’ pro-equality fried chicken restaurant opens

Leghorn Chicken, which opened last month in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, could be a chicken restaurant of choice for those boycotting the infamously anti-gay Chick-fil-A chicken chain.

The restaurant, which states on its website that it “proudly and enthusiastically champions gay rights”, has pledged to donate 2 percent of profits to pro-gay causes, and is also promoting safe-sex by providing Leghorn-branded condoms with every meal.

They also promise not to involve religion in their chain, stating: ”We are emphatically uninterested in your organized religion, secular religion, agnosticism, atheism or nontheism. Whatever tickles your pickle.”

Despite the apparent homage, according to Red Eye Chicago, owner Jared Van Camp backed away from naming Chick-fil-A specifically, saying: “I would never cite any names or franchise” when asked about “a certain non-inclusive chicken franchise”.

have you ever looked at the ingredients in Chic-fil-a chicken sandwiches? Every time we've eaten from there I got the muddies. I'm not gay but I would give Leghorn a try if for no other reason than to support the rights of others to be whatever it is they want to be.
