Gay activists hold a 'kiss-a-thon' in light of the recent Chick-Fil-A controversies. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Chernarus;37073148]Because I've seen atleast 10+ threads within the last few weeks about some stupid fast food chain.[/QUOTE] Then don't read them

[QUOTE=James*;37073156]Then don't read them[/QUOTE] Or people could stop bitching about what some PR guy thinks about gay men. Food holds no political value AFAIK.

Pretty self-centred attitude Guys next time you make a thread make sure you run it past Chernarus to make sure it's relevant to his interests

Both sides are caught in a childish attempt to use a fucking sandwich store to show their views. No one pushes their side's agenda here. The anti-gays want to make sure gay marriage is illegal and make the gays less social accepted, but of course, crowding into a restaurant with like-minded people has nothing to do with that, and therefore it's fucking pointless. The gays were so upset by this, they thought they would go to the place where anti-gays were crowded and piss them off. Good Plan. Certainly this will legalize gay marriage and make them accepted everywhere. Wait, it doesn't? You mean kissing in from of the adamantly anti-gay will only concrete their disgust and disapproval? Tldr; Both sides are childish.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;37073047]This is being blown WAY TO FUCKING OUT OF PROPORTION. Its a fucking fast food chain, who gives a shit what their political stance is. Is the taste suddenly different because some PR guy says something about gay people? No! Any person with some sort of brain capacity, doesn't fucking care about it.[/QUOTE] they donated to groups which advocated for death penalty to gays in countries like Uganda some people don't like funding murder

Why the fuck does a fast food restaurant have a stance on gay marriage in the first place?

Speaking of which though, is there any proof, or is that just hearsay? I totally support this movement against the restaurant chain and all, but before I accuse them of supporting lynch mobs, I need to make sure I have some evidence. All I've heard is just rumor or biased news with no source to their claim.

If you buy from Chick-fil-A, you are indirectly giving to the said groups, hence the boycotting and Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. This is really not hard to understand.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;37072746]nobody wants to watch them kiss while they eat. [/QUOTE] Why do people have this problem? Do you still believe in fucking cooties? I can't help but believe anyone who says this is eight.

PIPA and SOPA didn't pass. Yeah sure, they can lobby for the law, but passing it is a different story. You and I can lobby for a law. I feel like you're taking this into conspiracy territory now.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;37072746]Really pathetic that they'd do this in protest of the views of a chicken restaurant or whatever it is. Kissing in front of it does nothing but degrade the way people view them, nobody wants to watch them kiss while they eat. And who even CARES what a chicken restaurant thinks? They're always protesting or parading and it does nothing but annoy people. If they weren't so outspoken about what they do nobody would care, but they continually force it upon people like it should be everyone's business. I don't even see why they're protesting like this when the president openly supports gays rights, there's literally nothing to protest about now. So ridiculous.[/QUOTE] AngryChair you are honest to god one of the worst posters I have ever seen. Seriously do you even read what you type? "Who even CARES what a chicken restaurant thinks?" "Oh god ewww gays are kissing how degrading. NOW I care about this." [editline]3rd August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Chernarus;37073106]Who the fuck cares, its a fast food chain.

They still run reeducate the gay camps even if they regret what happened in uganda

I bet Funion is having a field day. Anyways, it's good that they too express themselves. Just like with slavery, it feels like the USA is the last to finally allow freedom and equality for those who have rarely had it in the past. For a "free" country, we are certainly slow to embrace shit. [sp]Also, a funny thing about our history: General Steuben, a formerly Prussian General, helped train and prepare the troops at Valley Forge and basically reform the poorly trained colonial militia into a true army. The reason he was formerly Prussian but switched was because the Prussians kicked him out for being a homosexual, but Washington overlooked it. We ow our very survival as a country to homosexuals in a way, and yet we still infringe on their rights.[/sp]
