TiredofthisCrap, thanks. Hawtness. ;)

ETA: Do you remember that Indiannapolis cupcake bakery that refused to fill an order for a gay client and that created all sorts of bad press? They found some other bakery to fill the order but the incident highlighted for everyone how they operated and what they stood for. If that publicity drives some clients away even better. So too for Chick-already-forgot-them.

That's Cristiano Ronaldo in my avie.

I haven't eaten at Chick-Fil-A in awhile anyway, his supporters are gearing up to have a support Chick-Fil-A day. The sad thing is there are more people for prohibiting gays from marrying and they are located within the bible belt,where the most of the Chick-Fil-A stores are located. In the cities you have good old church folks who will eat there just because. Then the people who are just don't care, so maybe they'll see a 5% lost of business.

TiredofthisCrap, yup, gotta speak with the wallet and word of mouth. Those are powerful tools as well.

Screw Truett. Who is that in your avie? hehehe

I used to work for Chick-Fil-A and can say I am not surprised on Truett Cathy's stance on gay marriages. He's probably not a fan of interracial marriages, but there's nothing he can do about it.

The sad truth is if there is a boycott, the only people who are going to be hurt are the working folks,not Truett Cathy. He's rich and old... his money will last him until he's dead.

Can we really regulate how a company spends its profits? Do we really have any say? I know a lot of companies invested in apartheid and there were calls for boycotts but not much was done. I believe gays should hav ethe rights to be married, unless Truett has real control over the decision, I'm still going to eat Chick-Fil-A. He can fund asshole organizations all he wants, as long as he's not paying an elected official.

" I cherish cool cats like Antoine who live and let live, and don't take everything so seriously and dramatically and with such extreme self-importance."

Self-importance? How is not wanting to give my hard-earned money to a corporation that gives THAT money to factions that want to take away someone else's rights "self-importance"? I'm sorry, but this IS serious. Antoine is not all that bright. He's amusing, true, but can't see the forest for the trees. He's screwing over other people just so he can have some damn chicken! Great...so...in *some* states, gay people can get married...aaaand when they move back to their home state, that marriage is nullified!
What if people during the Civil Rights days had said, "let's just live and let live"? I reckon Antoine would still be made to sit at the back of the bus!
Is some crap fast food really all that important that people would turn a blind eye to suffering just to have some?

Stinky, you're the baby? We are three but both parents come from large families. Like what you said about no one being treated as a second class citizen. It's beyond being PC. Equality is the thing, if not, it's a civil rights issue. I am not afraid to speak out on that. To anyone.

Some twit wants to BS in their own house fine, outside of it, sorry not gonna let you step on others. Time are a changin' babies!

Otw, happy to joke around. lol

If this dumb ass queen had any brains in his head, he'd realize that we are second class citizens in the United States. Who in their right mind would want to continue living like this? Really? Do you want to be a second class citizen? Because I don't. I've boycotted many companies, b/c they don't support gay people in general, and I'll continue to do so until we have equal rights! Furthermore, I don't need to hear what he thinks about this issue, because it's clear to me he has no idea what is really going on.

Well, I thought about it some more. Team Antoine.

You know, why is it that Bible Thumpers go to Disney in troves (I've been there over 100 times, I've seen them) and they know Disney is pro-gay? Probably because they respect their opinion and just want to have family time without polictical drama. You don't see troves of families not going and putting people out of jobs.

---

It's not just an opinion. They give money to organizations such as Exodus International, which does anti-gay therapy, and those orgs that stir hatred against gays in places like Uganda. Not to mention the anti-gay marriage groups. If you're gay, you are stupid to fund your own discrimination.

Respecting an opinion doesn't mean supporting it. We regularly shun people who express racist or sexist views, even though it is legal for them to do that. As we should.

The Chick-Fil-A party line is that they are following Godly views.. NOT Christian views, they never once claim Jesus would co-sign this fuckery
they are strictly going Old Testament on everyone in pulling out obscure rules from a book (Leviticus) not approved by Jesus who never met a hot slut he didn't like, he just said be a better you.

Sorry I had to laugh at him drinking out of a Chick-Fil-a cup.

I don't have to sit and ponder my thoughts about Chik-fil-A cause their food is pretty bad in my opinion. Worst chicken I can think of. I prefer Whataburgers chicken strips. I only go to chick if I have a super good coupon and it's usually for milkshakes!

I'm not satisfied being a second class citizen thank you very much. I pay my taxes just like any other straight person, so why would I only have partial marriage rights. And just a side note, I hate when people esp gay people make a big deal about gay marriage being legal in a few of our states. It's not equal to marriage btwn a man and a woman, we are still missing over half of our rights. It makes me cringe to see our community jumping up and down over this bullshit. We look like total morons when we do that. I want 100% equality, not less than half.

I'm not sure what bible you're reading, but the bible does not have any prohibition based on race. It does however make prohibition on inter RELIGIOUS marriages. By the way, Moses' wife was black, and Jesus had mixed race ancestry.

People like you are the reason Christianity gets a bad name. How can you proclaim to be a Christian yet don't know the basic tenets of your faith? Show me in the bible where God says not to marry someone of another race. Show me.

Read your bible.

Oh, I hope you have a girl and she marries the biggest, blackest man she can find and has 10 biracial babies, you bigot.

ETA: babies. And no one wants to marry you anyway--white, black or indifferent.

I'm going to openly state that my business does not support interracial marriage , and we do fund organizations that try to teach against it. It's what god tells me is right.

I've changed my mind on this one overnight. I think Antoine's natural charm swayed me unreasonably. I could understand if the owner just held his beliefs and left it at that - but the company actually gives money to organisations that make it harder for gay people to live their lives. So a penny spent on their stuff might go to make some other gay person's life miserable. Can't support that in any way.

Probably the most ignorant and asinine thing I have ever read on Dlisted. Obly and idiot would turn this in to a racial sterotype issue. Chik-fil-A makes chicken sandwiches and a host of other foods, it's not like they are a Popeyes or KFC "chicken" chain. Please STFU and STF down with your ignorance.>>

Now, I'm not saying that well-known Christian organizations automatically equal anti-gay, but In and Out Burger has bible verses on their wrappers and cups. They are a privately-owned company so they can do what the hell they want. Forever 21 also.

This argument that it only hurts the little people is not right, The people that own them, if they are affected by the boycott, may find that the value of their franchise is lower, but depending on the contract they might be able to attempt to get the difference back. The person using Chic Fil-A's money is the one hurting the brand.

I don't eat meat and I'm sure there is nothing at Chic Fil-A for me because Antoine told us the fries are cold sometimes. I'm just saying that if a corporate voice like this asshole at Chic Fil-A says some stupid shit and gives money to people that hate equality and human rights, then it's not the public's responsibility to not take it personally and keep buying their crappy food so that their involvement in this business that profits off the suffering of animals, exploits it's workers, and wants to take the money it makes and affect public policy like a a rich hillbilly kkk bitch? Fuck that. No one has to think about who it really hurts. They'll work that out and McDonald's is always hiring.

Chick-fil-a has become the BP of fast food, eventually you'll be back and feeling guilty about it. I live in GA, thers too many Chick-fil-a's to count.

And, what most people simply aren't smart enough to understand is that these are franchises. The opinions of the owner have nothing to do with the local business on the corner. It's run by a small, local business hours who works like crazy and may or may not have opposite opinions. A "boycott" only hurts small business owners.

----------------------

Not really. They pay to use the name and image of the franchise, so every branch contributes to the growth of the business. Yes, it's true that it's impossible to know what opinions lie behind every company you purchase goods from, but I would avoid Chick-Fil-whatever if they have openly expressed themselves about supporting anti-gay rights financially. This whole "jobs" argument is bullshit because you're going to get your food somewhere, and if you don't get it there, you get it somewhere else (where someone else works). Antoine Dodson is just stooooopid. Seriously, I am so happy that the Jim Henson company did what it did.

I dunno, I still love Antoine. He seems like a sweet, funny guy that you'd hang out with and he'd share a joint with you and make you laugh. I'm on the liberal side but live a conventional life (straight, married, children) but I have some really far left, raging liberal friends on FB, and sometimes I just have to hide their posts, they annoy me so. I agree overall with their agendas (except for the one who's anarchic and borderline satanist) but sometimes they're so filled with hate, rage, propaganda, antagonism, that I just cannot stand it. I might as well be at a Tea Party convention, except the beliefs are on the opposite scale. And these people aren't out there trying to make a difference, they are just spitting bile from their computers. So, in short, I cherish cool cats like Antoine who live and let live, and don't take everything so seriously and dramatically and with such extreme self-importance. I don't eat at Chick Fil A myself, but if Antoine wants his sandwich and waffle fries, so be it. And I don't think he's an idiot, or ignorant, or irresponsible for doing so.

I've never had a chik filet or whatever. Are they good?

Seems to me the loudest voices for the boycott are coming from places where they have 1 or 2 franchises to begin with, if any at all (Chicago and Boston). I just looked, within a 30 miles radius of my home there are 27 outlets.

It's a Southern thing.

Who would've expected Antoine to be the voice of reason in all of this? They are nice there, and they can believe whatever the fuck they want. It's not really our business. People going crazy over this has made me want to go there more often, to be honest. I would if I weren't trying to cut down on fast food. The food is damn good and I'm not going to be told what to do by anyone, much less the thought police that demand uniform opinions from everyone. I do have to say, though, the one on his side of town is uber nice.

He isn't. He's gay and giving his money to a company that supports anti-gay legislation. But the food is delicious?

Yea um who died and made you Queen Bitch of the Universe? I don't recall asking you what you thought of me, or how I believe. I know what and who I am..and I do support specific gay people, not as a whole, but specific people.

Unlike you, I choose not to lump a group of people and stereotype them. I won't hate or love a whole group of people, based on who they want to fuck.

So yea, I can love a gay person..I just won't champion a lifestyle for a whole group of people. There are gay assholes and gay nice people. Just like everyone else.
