I found a good one that should have fundies in vapours.

Let's see if it works.

One of the BF's Facebook friends is at a Chick-fil-a in L.A. and he says it's just wild – two groups of people yelling at each other and Pat Boone is there.

And so as not to derail too much....

[marmalade]

I've called him "Fuckabee" for years and I am nowhere near Arkansas.

How about some news stories to make us feel good this "appreciation day"

A Texas lesbian activist donned a cow costume with her wife in tow to protest Chick-fil-A’s anti-gay views.

Just Kusko stood outside an Austin Chick-fil-A with a sign that read “Don’t hate the homooo!†She publicized her protest plan on Facebook and posted pictures, which went viral.

“These pictures have really taken off,†she told The Advocate. “And what’s funny is, it all started as a simple Facebook status. I was just sick and tired of hearing about how Chick-Fil-A could promote such hate, denouncing me as a human being. Seeing all of my friends comments on Facebook just broke my heart. And to think, of all those chicken sandwiches I ate. I actually was paying for my own demise.â€

Wednesday was designated as Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day and Dallas residents flocked to area restaurants, according to The Dallas Morning News. A nationwide same-sex kiss-in day is planned for Friday.

Equality Texas is asking those who will no longer eat at Chick-fil-A to donate the cost of sandwich meal to their organization. The recommended donation is $6.50 but other amounts can also be donated.

I love how Chick-fil-a tries to defend themselves by saying that even though they believe in Biblical values; they will still serve gay people; and Christian supporters of Chick-fil-a find the picture disgusting and offensive. Don't these Biblical Christians realize that the King James Bible was written by a gay king who was forced to repress his sexuality because he needed to produce heirs? Ignorant bigotry haters.

Ugh. A close relative (OK, my sister) posted a picture of her eating at Chick-fil-A today on her Facebook.

Her son (my nephew) unfriended me last year because of my liberal tendencies. Now I'm wondering if I should unfriend my sister.

Good Christians, putting wedges in families since I don't know when. And all over fscking chicken sandwiches.

ETA: specify Facebook.

One of my cousins posted pics of her at Chick-Fil-A on FB and I laughed to myself. I really don't know this cousin that well. I've only seen her a few times in my life. She friended me on FB. The reasons I laughed is because she took the pics with her iPhone. I guess she doesn't know about Apple supporting gay rights, but I think if she knew, that iPhone would still remain in her possession. It is hilarious that people are post pro-CFA stuff on Facebook when one of the co-founder Chris Hughes is gay and got married recently. Zuckerberg attended the wedding.

or maybe she thinks they each have a right to their opinion, and to support the organizations they believe in, even if she disagrees.

I will quote Whoopi Goldberg's comments on The View

"We're in America where everybody has the right to say 'You know what? I don't believe in this' and you have the right not to come. It's like watching television. You don't like reality tv shows? Don't turn them on. You don't like what they're doing? Don't go. But do not step on their right, anybody's right, to have an opinion. This is STILL America. We still have the right..."

The implication was that the cousin was trying to use status as a consumer for political purposes (i.e. to show support for an organization that is against gay rights). This act is somewhat undermined by her use of the iPhone and Facebook, as lilwriter85 explains. I think the point was that she was trying to make a specific political point with her consumption and failing, rather than advocating the use of goods and services regardless of an organisation's political affiliations.

I know for me and for a lot of people who are anti-Chick-fil-a this isn't about the words that were said. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If someone says, "Ugh, I don't like coffee" and I happen to love coffee, I don't feel attacked. It's their opinion. But when they say, "I hate coffee and I respect people who drink coffee," and then donate to groups who want me to stop drinking coffee- that I have a problem with. You can't have it both ways. You can't say I respect your right to drink coffee and then do all you can to help out groups who want to deny me the right to drink coffee. And this is essentially what Chick-fil-a is doing. They are saying, "We don't hate gays- we just don't agree with their lifestyle." Then they go and donate to groups that are denying gay people their civil right to marry.

This is not a freedom of speech issue. Not at all. No one is saying that the Chick-fil-a people can't have their own opinion. But what they're doing- actively trying to deny a group of people their civil rights- is wrong and we should all be standing up for that. Because today it's the gay community they're attacking, but what's next? Fat people can't marry because they'll pass along their bad genes to kids and we'll become a fatter nation than we already are? Or people with a low IQ can't marry because they might breed and we'll become a dumber nation? It might not be a group you belong to today that's being attacked, but it could be. And that's why people are speaking out against Chick-fil-a. Words are just words. It's actions, especially in this case, that people are outraged about.

Donations to organizations are considered an expression of free speech and your right to donate to the organization of your choice are just as protected as your right to speak your opinion as long as those organizations are operating according to the law. As a citizen your free speech rights allow you to take action against organizations that you disagree with- boycotts, protests, articles, public awareness and donations to oraganizations that support your opinion. However, when city governments block legal businesses because they disagree with their political, social, or religious views they are going too far. Imagine that extended to other groups. Perhaps a pro-life local government should have the right to block a company that donates to planned parenthood? Or maybe a city government should be able to restrict business owners from operating if they support gay and lesbian organizations?

However, when city governments attempt to block a business that is operating within the law because that business donates money to organizations that are not breaking the law, those governments are going to far.

An excerpt from:

What is "Speech" Within the Meaning of the First Amendment?

The Issue: What activities can be considered "speech" for purposes of the First Amendment?

What happens when speech is mixed with conduct?

"The O'Brien test has been used by the Court in a series of subsequent cases. In Texas v Johnson, the Supreme Court considered another protest of U. S. policy, this time in the case of a man who burned a flag at a Republican National Convention. In a controversial 5 to 4 decision, the Court overturned Johnson's conviction for flag burning, concluding the burning was "sufficiently imbued with elements of communication to implicate the First Amendment" and was, in fact, protected speech under the First Amendment. Buckley v Valeo raised the issue of whether money (in the form of campaign donations or expenditures) can be considered a form of speech. The Court concluded that it could, noting that modern campaigning is impossible without financial resources."

More than denying them their civil rights, the groups that chick-fil-a supports do Really Bad Things to gay people. They perform anti-gay "therapy" that causes psychological trauma. They refuse to condemn Uganda for a government policy that allows them to kill people for being gay. They are classified as a hate group. The only people claiming this is a free speech issue are the ones trying to pretend that they're not raging homophobes.
