Kyle,
You think I may be concerned that you might leave? You may boycott me any time! For all I know, you may be an employee of Chick-fil-A!
As I read dozens of the Chick-fil-A articles, I interpreted the owners many comments as being that he did not respect gay people and he frowns on them. Being that he donates to many organizations that have sent money to "kill the Gays in Uganda" agenda, why would you want your hard earned money to go to his family and to be used against gay rights?
Even if one is n0t gay and has progressive views, i would not believe that one would want their money to be donated to anti-gay rights. Chick-fil-A has a solid history of sizable donations towards anti-gay rights and no donations for pro-gay rights.
Than for the President/Owner to make such an outlandish statement is reprehensible. Frankly, I can not stomach the chicken when 100's of thousands of Gay People have died of AIDS and these people think gay people are an abomination and not worthy of gay rights. The articles expose a history in which Gay people are refused employment at Chick-fil-A.
Let me see, Hitler killed Jews. So we should still do business with Hitler?
Chick-Fil-A, does not recognize gay rights, supports those who are against gay rights. They have given money to "Kill the Gays," but the chicken sandwich is more important to you?
Its a lousy chicken sandwich! You can not live without their fricken sandwich?
This is a clear cut case of a legitimate reason to boycott the disgusting Chick-Fil-A corporation
If you do not want be a member of this group, you do not have to be a member. I won't lose 1 drop of sleep! You see, I will waste time on this subject when Chick-Fil-A does not want me to be married to my husband! How dare them!
Therefore, please do not waste my time as I was going to do my blog as well as present photos and news for this group.
All those people that died are being disrespected by people like you. They are being disrespected by Chick-Fil-A.
NO, there is no credible argument by Chick-Fil-A. There is no excuse for Bigotry! Never, ever!
Goodbye.,
Jake West

I do feel compelled to share that the very fight you wage is one that is anti-free expression. The founder and President of Chic Fil-A has rights just as you and I want gays to have rights. It's a double-edge sword, so to speak.

I think that when every homosexual would spent lets say 10 to 50 USDollar into a national fund we would have already a load of money to buy shares... and by being shareholder(s) we could have influence. And when subsequently a sponsor would stand up, individual and or coporate, it could grow into a fund that c/would be more powerful then most companies!

I actually selected an article that was fair to Chick-fil-A as no other article displayed both sides. But, Dan Cathy is Chick-FIL-A. I was attempting to make sure that every one was aware of all angles. Cathy can step down, but he will he will still own, control Chick-Fil-A as it is his family owned business. Therefore, to be perfectly clear, it is Dan Cathy's family that owns Chick-Fil-A and it makes them richer by the day. I hope you now understand.
