Can't say how happy I am to see this.
Chick-Fil-A Shattered Sales Records On 'Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day'
And here's the haters. Take a good look:
Cashier Rachel is my new hero for dealing with Mr. Douchebag with such professionalism.
It appears Mr. Smith might want to fill out an application at Chick-fil-a:

I saw a great post on Instagram, it was a photo of a chick fil a restaurant, all done up with a cool, hipsterish lens filter effect, and the title was "We Hate Homos" ... I laughed my ass off when I saw that. LOL "homos" ... Cracked me up.

That guy was a douche. What was the intent of his video? To show how he can bully a young employee?

I'm sure this woman loves working at Chik-fil-a. It's hard enough just getting by these days. Add to that that she may not have any problem with gays and then top it off with the stress of white collar moral high ground tough guys berating her and telling her "I don't know how you live with yourself and work here." Good thing he is crusading against hate.

I've got a feeling that Vante has wanted to unload that dude for a while. He was exhausting in that little clip, I can't imagine being stuck in a meeting with him.

So we can infer everyone in Canada is gay?

I like how he assumes the college age students were there for a sit in. Like they would want him to join them. Since he didn't append any video with the college kids, and you know he would have, I suspect they were just there for lunch.

Is it right that the Chick-Fil-a guy didn't even oppose homosexuality as such, just specifically gay marriage?

Penn State has a Chik-fil-a in its student center. This is an actual debate going on over whether it should be there or not.
Here, at Penn State, the tension has been rising regarding the anti-gay mentality of Chick-Fil-A, and its business at the HUB-Robenson Center.
Damon Sims, vice president of student affairs, held a meeting on July 31 with student leaders from Penn State's chapter of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Ally Student Alliance to discuss perspectives on the issue.
"I convened the conversation with leaders from various LGBTA groups and administrators to discuss the recent controversy about Chick-Fil-A." Sims wrote in an email. "It was a good opportunity to share information about the Chick-Fil-A operation in the HUB and hear the various perspectives about the licensing relationship we have with the company."
The meeting's purpose of establishing a mutual opinion with student leaders was successful due to the agreement that action is necessary.
"It was my sense that the group shared deep concerns with the recent comments made by the CEO and President of Chick-fil-A," Sims wrote. "Those concerns, in turn, have led many, if not all, of those participating to worry about the appearance created by the continuing presence of a Chick-Fil-A operation in the heart of University Park."
Alyssia Motah, a former LGBTQA member and co-president of the student alliance, who was also present at this meeting, shared similar opinions with Sims.
"The main topic was whether to continue partnership with them, and to discuss the financial contract," Motah said. "The HUB's Chick-Fil-A has about 800 to 900 customers a day, and accounts for about twelve percent of the HUB's entire profits."
...As the bickering and religious bias continues to spread throughout the country, the speculation as to if the Chick-Fil-A will remain in the HUB is still up in the air.
"This is a university, we are students, and the values of Chick-Fil-A do not reflect ours," Motah said.

Chick-fi-A Day is not exactly a banner moment in activism. How hard is it to get millions of Americans to shove greasy fast food down their slovenly esophagi?

You have insulted my country. I've no doubt that among many Amurikkans Chik-fil-a is considered a healthy alternative to our regular diet of substandard burgers infused with that pink goo stuff and pizzas slathered in cheese like substance.
This was a true rising of the people. With some of the more Christian among us, it was in support of Mr. Cathy's moral stance. With the rest of us, it was a response to the the political intolerance and hypocrisy of lefty politicians. Diversity in everything but thought for them - unless you are of a protected political class like Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam.
In support of the cause, I will purchase one of their sandwiches if they ever start serving beer.
