The biggest hypocrisy from Chik-fil-a is they say they are anti-gay because they are religious.

Well what about this from the 10 Commandments:

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Why don't they take a stance against adulterers, especially ones that covet their neighbor's wife?

Seriously - being anti-gay due to religious beliefs is so hypocritical because these same people turn a blind eye when it comes to adultery.
If you are going to stand for traditional marriage you don't get to cherry-pick which parts of traditional marriage you want to stand for, and which ones you want to stand against.

It's ridiculous.

it didn't happen. right.

and just by the by, he didn't make a 'statement' about gay marriage...he answered a question in an interview with a christian magazine. do you think if the interviewer would have asked him about adultery he would have said, "Yeah, we don't really care about that."?

Men taking on the wives of they dead brothers?
Concubines? Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. And that is OK?

Who has time for Adultery?

Supporting a lobby that works to take away others rights is about as hateful as you can get.

I'm reminded of a similar GA restauranteur, Lester Maddox.

Fuck Chik-fil-A and their shitty chicken.

He just donates to groups whom you in your opinion are "anti-gay."

Thank you. I thought maybe he came out and said something that could hurt the company legally.
