Chick Fil A gives protestors free chicken sandwiches and drinks

So a few weeks ago the CEO of Chick Fil A was asked about his views on marriage and family and he said he believes in the "biblical" definition of marriage/family. Big deal right? But a whole bunch of liberals got mad. Anyways Conservatives decided to have a Chick Fil A appreciation day to go in and eat a bunch of chicken at the restaurants and a whole bunch of people showed up, while gay groups decided to hold a "same-sex kiss day" on that same day where same-sex couples would kiss outside of Chick Fil A (perhaps they were hoping it would ruin straight people's appetites causing them to buy less chicken). Of course the same-sex kissers were vastly outnumbered by the Chick Fil A customers (because afterall the number of people who would kiss another dude is a lot less than the number of people who eat chicken sangwiches).

But anyway it turns out at a lot of these Chick Fil A resturaunts the manager or employees were quite nice to the gay groups protesting outside their restaurants. For instance in Kansas the owner of the Chick Fil A restaurant handed out free chicken sandwiches and water to the protesters and at another location employees handed out lemonade and scotch (okay I made up the scotch part, but they did hand out lemonade) to the protesters.

That was pretty nice of Chick Fil A to do and a good PR move, but did handing lemonade and water to the protesters keep them protesting longer (after all giving them drinks makes it less likely that they'll disband and go home to get out of the heat or to get a drink, or maybe Chick Fil A though giving them a drink would make them go home to take a leak).

So what do you think of Chick Fil A's handing out of drinks and sangwiches? It's probably a good idea, after all Chick Fil A is a Christian business and may be hoping their kind move may help nudge some of these protesters to conversion and salvation. Chick FIl A certainly treated those protesters better than that abortionist who turns his sprinklers on pro-life "prayer warriors" does to his protesters.

Nice of the restaurant managers. Fvck Cathy, though. l4dak47

DONT EAT PROTESTORS!!!!

It would've been kind of funny if Chick put a whole bunch of hot sauce in their chicken (or maybe some laxatives) before they gave it to the protestors.

They couldn't hand out scotch or homeless drunks might start showing up.

This whole thing is incredibly stupid. Trying to oppose gay marriage by eating a Chick-Fil-A? Dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Did the protesters actually accept the food? It would seem like they should turn it down, seeing as how they're protesting Chick-Fil-A...

They never give me free chicken sandwiches.

Damn liberal establishments always going easy on minorities....

Wait...

So act like a homo and you get free food wow and gays are always playing the victim card:roll:

Goodnight OT. Sleep tight and pat yourselves in the back.

Yeah, because we all know free chicken sandwiches are the best way to convert ones religion. Anyway, in case you didn't notice, Homosexuals and Christianity don't exactly see eye-to-eye. E.g. The fact that the bible calls for them to be put to death.

I dont know what to make of this,but everything in about this story Ive gathered seems a bit stupid The owner was stupid for saying what he did TwoFace-BS

cathy claims to support the biblical definition of marriage yet did not pay so much as one foreskin for his wife. hmmmmmm. i also bet if his brother died he would not marry the widow. hmmmmmmm.

hmmmmmmmm.

hmmmmmm.

The fact that the bible calls for them to be put to death.Vaultboy-101

It should be noted that was towards the people Moses was speaking towards.

[QUOTE="whipassmt"]

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"] He could have said no comment or he doesn't wish to answer or whatever. I used to work/see people ask questions like these all the time in my courses. It's a perfect target question for another news story. A Christian based company.... ask about gay marriage, get answer they wanted, score. Even if he didn't comment they wouldn't have the proof that he has the opinion he stated now. I guess until the proof about him and anti-gay things he was funding came up. MistressMinako

I don't think he harmed his business by saying his views, sure he may have turned away some pro gay-marriage customers but he also probably attracted support from pro traditional marriage people.

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] Why should he say "no comment", he should've just been honest. And I don't think he funded "anti-gay" groups, I think he mostly funded Christian groups, some of which do lobby for traditional marriage as some of their activities, but I don't think he funded groups specifically dedicated to going after gay people.

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"] Because the things a person says has a positive or negative effect. Also, it was none of our business anyway. People keep thinking that saying what you believe in and everyone is going to be all sunshine and roses about it which that isn't always the case. I don't know the whole story about the anti gay groups so I wouldn't claim he did or not that's just what I heard. Now, he is probably getting tons of backlash for it... that's why I said he should have kept his mouth shut.TwoFace-BS

Being against gay marriage really doesn't harm a business unless the business is primarily located in liberal areas.
