Chick-fil-A for lunch today

i wish we had a CFA up here in Fairbanks 

[Beefcake]

The Chick-fil-A in our local mall had a 3 hour wait time on orders and the line wrapped around the whole building. Just incredible support today.

Why are you asking me?

No, just being an bellybutton in general. I'm having an extra crappy day and I'm sick of humans right now. The AH BBS may have been a poor choice at the moment.

You're entitled to your beliefs, he's entitled to his. I'd be hesitant to characterize a different opinion as a problem.

He has characterized my beliefs as a problem. Unfortunately I don't run a national chain seeking publicity and a much needed spike in sales.

But he would if he could.

Don't let the facts stop you from looking stupid.

The Constitution says nothing about marriage or relationships. Nothing.

I was referring to the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment that many use to argue that not granting marital status to homosexuals is unconstitutional.

So why did he speak out against gay marriage? How often does gay marriage come up in the average fast food corporation board meeting?
Does this mean Mickey D's is serving studmuffinfood? They haven't taken a stand in the marriage war. Is the Quarterpounder code for something more?

I didn't call for a boycott, did I? It's his business to run as he sees fit. He can't legally prevent anyone from eating at his stores because of their marriage status. But he would if he could. The problem is his attitude on "marriage".Not only does that include gay marriage, it includes people that have been divorced, marrying a divorced person or not marrying the wife of your dead brother.

Again, I've no problems with gay marriage, straight marriage, divorce or choosing not to marry. It's none of my (or anyone else's) business when two people decide to marry or not... I don't care. Personally, I follow a different part of the Bible, Matthew 7:12. YMMV.

wow RPM, if you really believe that verse and try to live by it then try applying it to Chick-fil-A and it's CEO. For the record, I believe the Bible and agree 100% with Dan Cathy, but that's not why I went to Chick-Fil-A today. I went to support his RIGHT to voice his beliefs.

rpm you can find the answers with a little bit of research.


Also this turnout was largely not about gay marriage rights.

He was asked about it in an interview.

I believe anyone is entitled to follow whatever religion they choose. They want to follow Buddah, Allaah, Jesus or whatever mythical creature they choose. Just don't force me to bend my personal beliefs to fit inside your comfort zone. You live your life by your convictions, I'll live by my own.

Chick-fil-A Statement
Chick-fil-A is a family-owned and family-led company serving the communities in which it operates. From the day Truett Cathy started the company, he began applying biblically-based principles to managing his business.

The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect –regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 Restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators. Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.

Our mission is simple: to serve great food, provide genuine hospitality and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.

That's why I went today.
