Slacktivism at it's finest.

And what's even funnier....all those photos and pictures posted on Facebook (gay friendly company) by these proud Chick-fil-A supporters - They were most likely taken from an Apple product (gay friendly company), Google Android (gay friendly company) or uploaded using a Microsoft (gay friendly company) OS. Maybe they washed down their meal with a Coke - oh yeah, they're gay friendly also. Maybe they drove there in a GM or Ford vehicle - guess what! They just supported a gay friendly corporation when they did that too.

And the other side is just as stupid. Boycotting Chick-fil-A because their CEO is some bible thumper Baptist with pretty standard Baptist beliefs? Do they not realize that a lot of their gas and oil purchases benefit some pretty brutal regimes in the middle east that kill gay people? Why is there all this outrage when a Baptist CEO of a company so religious that they're closed on Sunday says in a Baptist newspaper that he's against gay marriage. This is a shock? Come on now.

Excuse the long re-quote but QFT.
i dont care all to much what some fast food joint president thinks about gay marriage, he is one man. i dont agree with his views, and i certainly dont agree with his exorbitant contributions to organized anti-gay marriage groups, and thats all i care to think about him and his opinions. there arent any chic-fil-as anywhere near here so i dont eat there, but i would if the food is good. His singular vote doesnt outweigh others, nor does his voice because he owns a restaurant chain. if you were to argue to issue, it would best be directed against organized groups.

I do find it hilarious how people will boycott oero because they made a rainbow colored oreo but will fully support chic-fil-a's views and opinons because it's "all about free speech". Its ALL about free speech until someone supports the other side in which case it revolting and shameful. It was obvious they had alternative feelings, many of them, and used "free speech" as a cover because they dont have the cajones to stand up for what they believe in and face the other side. It happens to be the same way with illegal immigration. And racial discrepancies against "minorities" and other groups. People dont seem to have the steadfast attitude to stand up for what they believe in anymore, except the people who are usually in the wrong (excluding this issue, in which its those in the wrong cant stand up for what they believe in, apparently).
