My mom and I are still boycotting Chick-Fil-A. We both have never eaten there and since learning of their hatred of gay people, it has made us completely eliminate the thought of even wanting to try it.
My uber-religious aunt and her husband were like we have to take you guys to Chick-Fil-A some time, and Im like hell no. I will not support this business that hates who I am as a gay man, and my mom is a huge LGBT ally who will not be supporting them as well. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never eaten there before anyway just because there's not one around me. I don't announce it because whatever.

It's funny how if Chick Fil A were a Muslim owned establishment that most Libs would suddenly respect the religion.

Eh, I separate people's views and whatever from the product they serve.
I still listen to Brand New and Mest. I still eat the pasta brand of that owner who said anti-gay things. I'm not American but if Chick-fil-A made good chicken sandwiches, I'd still eat there.

A high ranking Chick Fil A employee could hold a press conference just to say "Fuck all black people, especially CableZL," and I'd still pull up to the drive through and order a spicy chicken deluxe, waffle fries, and a lemonade.

Your loss. The owners are Christian and recognize that LGBT is incompatible with Christianity. They also have the nicest people at any fast food restaurant I have ever had the privilege of attending. I would guess that they do not actively discriminate against LGBT in their restaurants but may share their opinion of the group publicly. They wont lose that much revenue from this stance as they offer a quality experience at a great price.

I don't get it, there are a couple of gay dudes at the chic-fil-a in my area. By you boycotting, you're saying you don't think gay people should have jobs.

Well the boycott did work, Chick-Fila stopped donating money to anti-gay organizations.
But anyways I don't enjoy the food all to well, but I do appreciate the great customer service and the fact the company treats their employee's really well.

They're still going to be successful regardless of you boycotting them and what is there really left for him to spend his money on that's anti gay? It was one thing before gay marriage passed, but now there's gay marriage and pretty good anti discrimination parts for the most part. Some old man behind the times isn't going to change that now.
