You might like the tasty pickles that they put on their chicken sandwiches, but if you're eating at Chick-fil-A, you're also eating at an establishment that partners with some of the most ferocious anti-gay groups around.
Take a look at an event scheduled for February 2011, co-sponsored by Chick-fil-A and the Pennsylvania Family Institute, the leading anti-gay group in the Keystone State and a group that has worked hard to try and pass a constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania banning same-sex marriage.
The February event co-sponsored by Chick-fil-A is called "The Art of Marriage," and it's intended to be a launching point for Pennsylvania to return to "the biblical definition of marriage." Given the work of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, it's hard not to see where this event is going to go -- straight for the jugular of anyone who supports marriage equality for same-sex couples.

Now a good troll would want to take the bolded part and campaign for polygamy.

That's my girl. :)
We don't have them 'round these parts, but when I'm in Florida, 90% of the time I actually want Chick-Fil-A, it's Sunday, and they're closed. Fuckers.
Sending the link to my sister
Chick-Fil-A is one of the few places that I actively boycott. Partially for their politics, and partially because FUCKING $3.50 FOR A GODDAMN CHICKEN SANDWICH? ARE YUO SHITTING ME?
I'm really not sure where Christians get their "Biblical Definition of Marriage" = 1 man + 1 woman.

How much does a chicken sandwich normally cost around there? They're $10-$12 here.
The best sandwich in america costs about 7 bucks. :. I will not pay more than that for a sandwich.
Spicy chicken at jack in the box is like four bucks

Probably from the same place the Taliban got the idea homosexuals must be killed by being made to dig a hole, and then collapse a wall on them, ie; they pulled it out of their oversized arses. I've been noticing a common theme of religious bigots not actually knowing their religious texts all that well for a while now. They could at least get to know the texts first and then wildly misinterpret the meaning.

That's like saying that a nice 4-bedroom house in America costs $400,000. Which is to say, completely dependent on location.

I guess. I'm also a student, so I can't go around eating $12 lunches.

McDonalds and Hardees both have better fried chickenmeat sandwiches for about the same price, maybe less. $3.50 for a Chick-Fil-A sandwich isn't really outlandishly expensive. I'd rate it a $2.75 sandwich.
I know of at least one convenience store in town that is better.
You know, this would make the company a perfect target for a wrongful termination scam. :lulz:

Yes. And McDonald's Southern-Style Chicken Sandwich (aka, Chick-Fil-A's patent must have ran out) just doesn't compare for some reason.
Don't have Hardee's/Carl's Jr. up here either. We have Popeye's, but they're just gross. Chick-Fil-A is one of the few fast food places I can eat at and not feel horrible about it later, well, except for now.

Had a Burger King $1 menu spicy chicken sandwich yesterday; wanted to die.
I don't care how good they are. If they fund groups that want to deny peoples' rights, I'm not eating there.
End of story.
I don't eat there, haven't since I heard WHY they are closed on Sundays.
I ate there for quite some time... thought they were some quaint group of christian people so they close on Sunday (hey, to each their own). Hell, I don't even care if the CEO's personal opinion is that all gays go to hell. However, when they started actively and publicly sponsoring discriminatory groups (08-09 I think), I dropped them like a bad chicken sammich and haven't missed it at all.
It's amazing what you can do with a warm roll, a fresh chicken breast and an cast iron frying pan in about 8 minutes. :lulz:
Never been, probably never will. I prefer a good deli-sandwich when I'm on the road anyway.
I love the KFC chicken snacker sandwiches. At 99 cents you can't go wrong, a couple of those and you're good to go.

Verily, Suu, for it is written, "My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war."

ITT. Biblical pance-shitting.
and my IBS is the fullest extent of the syndrome too. Little things can set me off, yet I can take Richter's vindaloo and not feel the burn.
Holy water vindaloo :lulz:
You have no idea. It's truly a cleansing experience.
IBS really sucks.
Okay, so a thread about religious oppression being funded by a corporation is now about our malfunctioning intestines?

Are they SBDs, or Loud and Proud?
They're all over the place down here. Never eaten there, never will. This news is more of a reason not to.
I fucking hate Chikfila
The chicken tastes like dry cow shit, which makes their advertising appropriate.
