    Some people don't want to serve gay people cake and some people don't want to be associated with businesses perceived to be anti-gay. I see nothing wrong with either party. Your business, you run it as you wish.

      Not only does Chick fil A serve very good fast food but every time I have been in the place the staff has been pleasant which is much more than I can say for many other similar establishments. And never once has anyone mentioned religion to me.

          And any fast food joint has pretty good chow especially if you catch them when its fresh. Still I've experienced some really rude service and tacky conditions at a some of these places but neverChick-fil-A.

                Chik fila is great. Even during all the hype, my step bro and I went there. He joked that if homophobia is what made it delicious then they should "keep on hating" haha.

                    FWIW, the now-deceased former Mayor of Boston, "Mumbles" Menino, strongly lashed out at Chic Fil A and told them they were not welcome in Boston.

                    Not sure what legal means were taken or not, but I don't believe Boston has one at this point.

                    Personally, I had their food a few times and liked it. There are just beginning to show up in CT.

                    Friends who live in the Southeast swear by it.

                    People should be able to decide - for themselves - if they want to support a business, or not.

                    I do. It is my right. As a, probably, bad example, I won't watch a movie having anything to do with Sean Penn and I don't purchase gas at CITGO even though it is usually a few cents cheaper than other brands. It kind of hurts because the stations are privately owned businesses but, still, I won't support "Hugo's people" if at all possible.

                    Am I right or wrong?

                    Doesn't matter. I still can spend my discretionary money where I want.

                        to disagree.

                          A thing I heard about boycotting products...that it goes against conservative principles, capitalism and the free market system to boycott a product that is of good quality just because you don't approve of the owners political or religious views.

                          Consider the thousands of food producing companies in a supermarket...by law all products must have its ingredients labeled. Funny if products had to indicate the social and political views of the manufacturer so that you could choose.

                          If you don't like the political viewpoints of Dannon Yogurt or Schwebels bread, there's always Yoplait and Nickels.

                          That said, on a personal level I really see no problem with it, but attempting to a conduct nationwide boycott on a product like liberals and liberal politicians try to do is wrong.

                          My ol lady does it...she refuses to buy Heinz Ketchup because that filthy rich liberal fuck John Kerry is married to the Heinz heiress...and she's from Pittsburgh to boot!!.

                          My wife buys Hunts ketchup.

                          I wonder how many conservatives would stop buying Ben and Jerrys ice cream if they knew Ben and Jerry were extreme radical leftists.

                          I didn't tell my wife about that one.

                                  I usually buy Heinz even though Kerry is kind of a choad and I hate the steelers. Hunts makes good catch up though. The rest of the ketchup is trash.

                                    All of you would vote against a mooslimburger in your locale.

                                    But i'll do one better, there's a actually a Russian fast food chain called Rusburger...i'm not shitting it's actually called that I couldn't make that up if I tried.

                                    That should be in the book of world records for the fastest contradiction ever. You didn't seem to have much trouble making up "mooslimburger".

                                    What I couldn't make up if I tried was inane analogies such as yours.

                                    What the fuck makes you think there would be a "vote" against a "Mooslimburger"? To begin with, a Muslim most likely would not own a "Mooselimburger', being that the name it is mocking and blasphemous.

                                    That restaurant would be owned by a non-Muslim, and the only ones voting to ban it would be some pansy ass liberals and Muslims because the name offends them.

                                    Anyway, I would bet anything that as our relations with Russia get worse, none of you would want a Rusburger near you either.

                                    Wrong moron. Merely by worsening relations, most likely few would patronize it and it would end up closing.

                                    And if you were in a position to actually vote on it? And what if Rusburger was actually on record as saying they don't care for the U.S much, kind of like Chick fil-A is on corporate record as saying their not fond of gays? Still want Rusburger around?

                                    Liberals...jumping from one meaningless "point" or lie to another so you can never nail them.

                                    Chick fil-A is not on corporate record for not being fond of gays, they serve them and they hire them...they are on record for opposing gay marriage. You "bright" people seem to have such a difficult time recognizing the difference.

                                    Lastly your analogy is apples and oranges. You are assuming that human reactions toward social issues and foreign affairs are identical.

                                    jesus fucking chris cpt literal, of course they wouldn't call it mooslimburger it was a fucking joke. The point about any kind of muslim run fast food chain. Fuck me running you are now quickly approaching the dumbest cunt I've ever met on the internet. You cannot roll with anything. Disagree with the point or the analogy fine...but for gods sake understand the basics of when something is being put out there for effect. I would have no idea what a muslim would call their establishment if they ran a fast food chain...jihadi burger maybe? Does that work better for you? Can you understand the overall point now or do you need another spoon?

                                      Not only does Chick fil A serve very good fast food but every time I have been in the place the staff has been pleasant which is much more than I can say for many other similar establishments. And never once has anyone mentioned religion to me.

                                      omg chik fil A is shit, like every other junk outlet. If they weren't in the middle of this stupid gay shit you wouldn't think twice about calling that food what it is.

                                        FWIW, the now-deceased former Mayor of Boston, "Mumbles" Menino, strongly lashed out at Chic Fil A and told them they were not welcome in Boston.

                                        Not sure what legal means were taken or not, but I don't believe Boston has one at this point.

                                        Personally, I had their food a few times and liked it. There are just beginning to show up in CT.

                                        Friends who live in the Southeast swear by it.

                                        People should be able to decide - for themselves - if they want to support a business, or not.

                                        I do. It is my right. As a, probably, bad example, I won't watch a movie having anything to do with Sean Penn and I don't purchase gas at CITGO even though it is usually a few cents cheaper than other brands. It kind of hurts because the stations are privately owned businesses but, still, I won't support "Hugo's people" if at all possible.

                                        Am I right or wrong?

                                        Doesn't matter. I still can spend my discretionary money where I want.

                                        A thing I heard about boycotting products...that it goes against conservative principles, capitalism and the free market system to boycott a product that is of good quality just because you don't approve of the owners political or religious views.

                                        Consider the thousands of food producing companies in a supermarket...by law all products must have its ingredients labeled. Funny if products had to indicate the social and political views of the manufacturer so that you could choose.

                                        If you don't like the political viewpoints of Dannon Yogurt or Schwebels bread, there's always Yoplait and Nickels.

                                        That said, on a personal level I really see no problem with it, but attempting to a conduct nationwide boycott on a product like liberals and liberal politicians try to do is wrong.

                                        My ol lady does it...she refuses to buy Heinz Ketchup because that filthy rich liberal fuck John Kerry is married to the Heinz heiress...and she's from Pittsburgh to boot!!.

                                        My wife buys Hunts ketchup.

                                        I wonder how many conservatives would stop buying Ben and Jerrys ice cream if they knew Ben and Jerry were extreme radical leftists.

                                        I didn't tell my wife about that one.

                                        omg you hypocritical cunt lord. You fucking conservatives try to organize nationwide boycotts every fucking year at Christmas against companies that did absolutely nothing wrong against anybody except had the audacity to call Christmas "the holidays" in their ad campaigns. The cognitive dissonance with you people is just overwhelming. You absolutely step all over your own dicks and just don't seem to care whatsoever.
