Oh right, I ate there when I was in the states.

I know it's not much but I'll never eat there again, whenever I visit.

 :| Good thing I don't waste my money buying any of that stuff.  T_T But yah... its amazing what rich extreme religious folk would put money towards. Peace and good will towards all men my pasty white hide... Fracking people only look forward to bring misery and heartache to others.
And they manage to foul up one of few sacred moments of the day, filling people with their haters chicken fillet.
T_T Have they no shame...

I doubt your friends are telling you the whole truth. The restaurant is a huge chain run by several share holders. Their only goal is to make money. I am fairly sure the founder is the only one who is a devout biased Christian. The money Chick Filet makes will most surely not be going to any "hate" groups. If it did, they would lose customers, and therefore lose money.

I do feel sorry for all the homosexuals out there. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick Filet, and other anti-gay Christians give Christianity a bad name.

If I were you, i wouldn't be too worried. If this is true, Chick Filet WILL go banckrupt and you won't have to worry any longer.

True story bro.

Also, if this story IS true, not all of the people who work for Chick Filet are anti-gay.
Boycotting the restaurant really wouldn't do much except put employees who need their jobs out of work.
What you should be protesting against, if anything, is the actual hate groups they supposedly are "funding."

Just my two-cents on the situation.
:P

(The restaurant's name is is "Chick-fil-a", not "Chick filet.")

^ This.

I support gay marriage, but putting a company out of business is really not doing anything for the cause. I like Chick-fil-a's food; I'm not going to stop eating there because of all this.

i know not everyone at chik-filet is anti gay. that would be silly, im saying im boycotting it because the higher ups are anti-gay and its THEM that i dont want to support.
im not trying to get it shut down, im just saying that i dont want my money going towards ANYTHING thats anti-gay..even if there is a SMALL possibility of it.
