Nope but this one is staring me right in the face so it's not hard to say "As someone who supports gay rights I cannot eat there without being a hypocrite."
CFA response to anti-gay alleg. "Guilty as charged." Do NOT gloat about eating at CFA

Dude it's hard though. That delicious chicken is worth more than gay rights.

Not many corporations take overt political stances that aren't directly related to their business.
Quoting this since I haven't seen any sort of response. Can anyone confirm that when asked whether they were anti-gay, the executive answered "Guilty as charged."?

What if instead of anti-gay groups they gave money to anti-white men groups.
Would that be enough to boycott?

Honestly, if the company heads used their own income to support this, I wouldn't care. It's their personal money. I don't agree with what they want to do, but I support their right to say it.
But the fact that the company itself is doing the supporting strikes me as quite different. Now, instead of the profit they make off selling me chicken just going into paychecks, a portion of it goes directly toward funding groups supporting homophobic legislation? That's a step too far.
I mean, really, if each chicken sandwich had a sticker on it proclaiming that 1% of all profits were donated to fight gay marriage, would people still want to eat there? (I have no idea how much is actually donated, but any portion of my purchase going directly towards this kind of thing is enough to get me to boycott)

No. Do you view this as being primarily about political ideology?

Fair enough.
Just checking.
Go to KFC...the more business they get the sooner they might bring back the Famous Bowls. Mmmm. Bowls...
Well, obviously.
No, I was asking as a more general question. And for the record, I'm pretty sure I've made it clear numerous time on GAF that I'm in favor of marriage equality.

Because I simply don't care. Simple as that. It's not something that I think about nor affects me on day to day basis. I have my own qualms in life that I feel need addressing, that do directly affect me that could use that kind of attention that even I fail to give it. I'm not a bigot or anything of that nature. I'm for everything but I am selfish in the sense that I will only fight for what is a detriment to my race, lifestyle, cause... or whatever. I'm not going to sugarcoat this post. Dislike or judge me for whatever reason this post may prompt. I'm cool with it. I want to be as honest as possible.
This situation is minor from my perspective. It just has nothing to do with me. Ok, I'm part of the problem, sure. But fuck it. I've got my own shit to deal with then to debate where or where not to shop, eat, sleep, etc. But keep fighting the good fight.
That's fine. I wasn't trying to imply anything about your views on marriage equality, it just sounded odd.

One nice thing about these sort of revelations is that people's true colors are revealed and it becomes easy to see which people (both within the company and in Chik's fan base) are completely awful and morally bankrupt in every way.

Which is why you should go to KFC instead...and get one of these: (when KFC brings them back)

As I white man, I'd eat there every day.
Actually, the best way to combat this isn't a boycott. Just have all the people eat there all the time. And make it known. "Chick-Fil-A is the new gay hangout!' Give them that reputation. It would be awesome.

They have actually said they don't care if they serve straight or gay customers (Asians seem to be a different story) so no this isn't the way to combat their stance on gay marriage.

Is that supposed to look tasty? What is the chicken to breading ratio? 1% chicken and 99% breading?
How would this combat their funding of anti-gay groups?

The way everything in that bowl clumps on a fork is not very appetizing imo.

Now this right here is worth a boycott of Chick-Fil-A.
EDIT: Holy shit, people, the making it a gay hangout thing was a joke.

Not all jokes work, especially if your audience does not know you.
Better luck next time.
do people in the us "hangout" at fast food places? serious question (in response to a non-serious post, i know).

I shop at places that donate to pro-gay charities so it cancels it out. Sandwich time.

WRONG. 90% chicken, 10% breading, 1,000,000,000% Pure Bliss.

You've won. I'm crying a corner now. This is all because I didn't boycott Chick-Fil-A, isn't it?

I did, back when it debuted in like 2005. It was good, but the quality of what they put in there seemed to become progressively worse every time I ordered one.

Anecdotal evidence, but me and my friends would go to McDonald's after school sometimes and chill out there for a bit after eating our food.

No, it's because your joke was ill-conceived. Get over it.

I used to get popcorn chicken at KFC when I was ~13. Eventually it became more breading and less chicken. Got super gross. Never ever had KFC ever again.
well, i understand staying a bit after finishing eating. i was thinking more along the lines of a hangout spot, where you go there frequently and don't always get food.

You're in Texas, right? Come to Kentucky...the KFC is better here.
