Violence Against the LGBT Community

August 1st is customer appreciation day at chikfila. I am so there!

**Callisto** · 2012-07-25 15:57

We already covered this in the one Chik-Fil-A thread...I'm a pretty liberal guy but their food is so good they could have their employees wear KKK robes and wrap their sandwiches in pages from Mein Kampf and I'd still buy the shit out of it

Can't wait to get into my separate white hetero male line and eat before everyone else.

Joking aside though, buying at chil a fil must be pretty hard knowing your money is going to hate groups. Well, hard if you have gay relatives or if you care a lot about the rights of gay, lesbian etc people, anyway.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-07-25 16:15

They should put "We hate gays" on the waffle fry boxes.

**Churchill** · 2012-07-25 16:20

Kuya obviously never ate Chik Fil A

Regards to your question, I stopped caring what people who made things I liked said/did a long time ago. (Like when I was 6 and Rage Against the Machine decided to be a bunch of douchenozzles all the time) If you hold every actor, musician, business, etc, to some set of moralistic or philosophic principles you'll never have anything to listen to or watch or eat.

In all honesty, yes. It really is one of my favorite fast-food places but I'm generally a pretty staunch supporter of being able to stick your dick in whatever sex of person you want as long as they're of age. Tough choice.

Thankfully my choice of whether or not I get to eat Chik Fil A is taken care of by them. Living in the bay area and the only one within 30 miles of me being next to an air force base, I'm guessing all the queers in the SF Bay Area scared them away.

I think that the tangible rights of real people is a little more concrete than mere morals and philosophy.

Don't take it the wrong way. I'm not accusing you of anything for putting more weight on chicken over the real consequences on the lives of human beings, but i do wish you wouldn't flippantly refer to gay rights as just morals and principles as if we were just talking about ideas and not real people with real consequences to their lives.

I guess you might not have heard, but the battle for people to have the right to have sex with whichever sex they wanted ended a couple of years ago when sodomy laws were declared unconstitutional, so i suppose if that was the extent of your concern, it makes sense why you wouldn't care now.

Well i suppose saying you don't care is a bit unfair, since you said it's just that you're having a hard time weighing the value of your favorite fast food against, well.

If Dave Thomas was a Nazi, I'd still eat the spicy chicken sandwich.

People are allowed to have their own beliefs(even though they are fucking stupid) as long as they don't discriminate in the workplace. Has Chikfila not hired homosexuals?

I don't really care for their spicy chicken and I can get 2 at checker's/rally's for the same price as one at Chick Fil-A (and Chick Fil-A don't even come with lettuce gotta pay extra for that shit)

Having opinions/beliefs and actually caring enough to do shit about it are different things. I believe in equality to an extent, but I'm too old and tired for angst, I did my activism several years back, fucked if it changed anything though. I wouldn't give up a potential delicious chicken sandwich for it these days.

You guys don't have to get defensive. It's not like there only exists two categories of people: homophobes and allies of gay people. In reality there exists spectrums or degrees. Maybe in one end you have raging homophobes you hate gay people with every fiber of their soul, and on the other you have highly obsessive pro gay activists. In between you can find people who empathize with what gay people go through and you might find people who care very little at all about this and just want to have their spicy chicken. Just because they value their spicy chicken more than the rights of gay people (in your defense, it's really really good spicy chicken), it doesn't mean that they're actively homophobes and they're organizing politically against the rights of gay people.

I care mostly that other gay people learn a lesson here. That very very few straight people genuinely emphasize with them, and the vast majority of straight people are simply apathetic. Once you understand that, your tactics can better reflect reality.

Why the hell does a fast food chain have a stance on gay marriage.

Then you sit there for 20 minutes because you're not quite sure if it's over yet.
