He has worked fairly steadily for quite a long time. Besides TV and film appearances he still does stage acting as well as voice over work.

This has to be false, there are no Republicans in Chicago.

I consider it more likely that people saw Chik-Fil-A in the news, and were reminded that they hadn't eaten there in a while.

and you may be right on both counts

I celebrated the day by sitting in a room full of sweaty naked guys. Did I do it right?

Most certainly, especially if towels were optional.

You guys talking about Wrestling?

Towels are always optional.

Boy Scout camp?

Boy Scout camp?

Boy Scouts has seriously changed in the past 25 yrs

Chick-fil-A was yummy, tried to go twice, but an hour for a chicken sammich was not an appealing idea.

Apparently it was actually CFA appreciation day. It was on the news and heard others mention it as well. Of course, no one interviewed on the news or that I heard talking knew what actual issues were at stake, but they all wanted to show CFA support: one person said they were there because the CEO has the right to free speech, another person said it was, essentially, a conspiracy and that no one could prove that CFA actually gave money to support anti-gay organizations.

Doubt it. You have simply repressed those memories...

My condolences.

It was excellent. Chicken that actually looks and tastes like chicken? Who'd a thunk?

Sadly Manchu, it was actually beef.

The chick fil a in my town has cars backed up around the block, and mobs of people outside.

I say profit for Chik Fil A for this quarter is high. I'm intersted in seeing how well this "kiss in" going to do. If the kissers keep buying their products then its not an issue. If not and just sit there isn't that loitering?

You must not have eaten at Chick-Fil-A, then.

Whaaat? It's the ONLY way to eat chicken!

At least it's not this:

I think it's really cool... I mean... c'mon, anything that tasty from THAT!?!? If that's not an engineering marvel, I don't know what is...

I miss the days when they contained dark meat.

I went by four CFAs around here (I cover a lot of ground for work) and every one had traffic backed up for half a mile and about 50 people outside in line.

Does my heart good.

I am a bit on the fence with this, though I am still in the dark with the major details (recovering from surgery and had no access to media).

Though I disagree with CFA's opinion on gay marriage, really no different than the few people who are still against interracial marriages. It's a disgusting idea, but just an idea and can't hurt or affect anyone as long as no one is being physically attacked or having laws in place that restrict people's personal freedom.

On the other hand, is it OK to donate money to groups who's purpose is to insure limiting people's freedom? I'm not too sure on this point as I have not looked too much in detail on who the money was donated to and how it operated.


I have no problem with someone thinking gays are sinners, immoral, disgusting, etc. But everyone should have the same rights.

That is the heart of it really. The problem here isn't that an individual has these feelings or is donating their money, it is that it is corporate sponsored hate. I wouldn't care if Dan Cathy gave 20 million to anti-gay causes, but he dragged the company into the political arena. He wants to use company money to promote bigotry he won't get my money. I'm not calling for violence, or saying Cathy can't say what he wants, I'm just going to get food elsewhere, and it isn't like there isn't a dearth of options available.

Couldn't boycott CFA if I wanted to.

None around me, never been to one, and when I eat out, I like to eat at family owned places. Each one has their own unique flavor/stlye. I also like quality over quantity when it comes to food.

Where as fast food all tastes the same to me. Couldn't tell the difference between a McDonalds chicken sandwich and a KFC one.

Wish the burger looked as good as they do in the pictures.

Since it's a private company they have no obligation to release financials publicly. Presumably if they do well, they'll say something and double down, and if they do poorly, they'll say nothing at all. So far the latter thought, it's a good one. Presumably these kissers have to buy food or else be expelled, no? Or maybe they'll just walk in, get a kiss photo op, and leave.
