A few recent tweets from the SW Tea Party:

@Mark_Levin help us stand up for solid conservative values chief and lets stop the fag agenda! Help @ChickfilA ! #eatchickfila

nobody in their right minds will support sodomy based marriage, unless you want humanity to go extinct. #eatchickfila

2day our kids and wife had a great meal @ChickfilA and to support traditional values regardless anti-American fag scum say. #eatatchickfila

Good time to support pro-family @ChickfilA for standing up to sodomy based faggot marriage. #eatchickfila

3. The more of that crap they eat the quicker they die and evolve into a higher life form-

say a cockroach or a garden slug.

4. concerning comment #2in the OP: Are you admitting that gay sex is so attractive to you that...

if it were accepted by society as a whole that you believe straight sex would cease to be???

just askin'.

8. Are you directing this question to Maven, the poster of the OP?

It's not very clear who you are asking this question to.

Thanks!

10. I cannot answer for the poster, but the second example comment down from the top in the OP

mentions "humanity" going "extinct." It does sound to me like that is what they are referring to. I'm not sure though. That is just the way I read it.

[ret5hd]

12. No. It is directed to the poster of the 2nd tweet listed in the OP.

13. Thanks, that's what I thought.

The person who tweeted that apparently wasn't exactly the brightest candle in the cathedral.

6. Reccing for exposure...

I used to love their sandwiches, but I cannot financially support this crap.

7. I was waffling about eating there today ...

But since you posted that, I can't be associated with people like that. Those are some hateful comments. I just don't understand. Even if they disagree with gay marriage, why do they have to be so nasty about it? Is that traditional values to call someone a faggot? For supposedly religious folk, they are extremely hateful.

Yeah, I was really thinking about eating there today (because I do love their chicken sandwiches), but after reading these comments, I won't do it. Besides, my girlfriend would kill me!

Glad our town doesn't have one. I've never eaten there. I don't plan on ever eating there now when I am out of town, for sure.

14. Moved to Atlanta six years ago from California and have never crossed their threshold.

I work for a grocery store that had just opened their first store in Atlanta. One of the first customers I met told me how great Chick fil A was (her husband managed a local franchise) and we would enjoy their food because it is healthier than other fast foods. She went on to tell me all about the company explaining their 'family values'. I vowed never to eat there and never have. They are fundy to the core. Hubby used to grab lunch there once in awhile but not anymore. Chicken and bigotry sandwiches tends to make him ill.

18. in California i notice they seem to have opened up a bunch more places just in the last year or so

before i mostly saw them in malls. now they have a bunch of stand alone places.

15. Their mascot is udderly ridiculous nt

16. F*#% Chick Fil A and all so called christian doo-gooders

I've dealt with their bullying in the name of Cheezus all my life. It's major PTSD having been beaten, bruised, pushed, mugged, teased mercilessly and told that I'm going to hell. I spent every damn day at a redneck school in fear for my life, witness to a 1970's murder case that got dismissed on the "he touched my dick" defense. I work with a bigoted redneck who "doesn't agree with the gay thing" but openly announces locker-room-style "I'd tap that (any buxom female that appears) and mah wyfe would never know".
Not a follower of any organized faith, yet Cheezus did teach something like: Don't throw stones unless you're sin-free? Something tells me most of the rabid anti-gay marriage folks wouldn't want their marriages examined with same speculation given gay folk.
No there is nothing innocent, decent, civilized, intelligent or considerate about these anti-gay crusades.

17. it doesn't seem like something that should be difficult to boycott

there are issues sometimes with grocery stores and some other places where you need to go to buy basic needs. and there is a lack of options.

but chick fila is junk food. i think the food is good/tasty but it is junk food. and you have many other options for that if you feel like eating something that isn't really good for you. chick filas are always in places like mall food courts where there are other places you can easily get food at.
