Last time I ate there was back during the summer on -99, while visiting a friend in North Carolina.
Some manner of chicken burger sandwich, very delicious.
Couldn't find it in me to go there again though. Given a choice, I'd rather not support bigoted franchices. Everyone vs. Everyone Online

True true... but on this particular occasion I'm referring to their belief that my friends are less equal than others. Everyone vs. Everyone Online

First: lol
B: LBGTs are in many respects considered a minority, and protected from hate-crimes, in many states.
However, let's not forget that what Chick-Fil-A has said doesn't rise to the level of hate-crime... all they've said is that they believe in christian values and that they don't support gay marriage. They have not said that LBGTs aren't welcome in their restaurants.
3: One might argue that even if they HAD said they don't want LBGTs in their restaurants, that couldn't be considered a hate-crime either. to deconstruct that argument, let's imagine the following example:
one food-chain says it doesn't want gay couples in their restaurants. another food-chain says it doesn't want black couples in their restaurants. which is more likely to be sued by an individual? which is more likely to getting involved in a class-action suit? and which is more likely to lose in court?
feel free to pay me no mind, I am but a fool on a hill. Everyone vs. Everyone Online
