I am so pissed at them- I love their chicken, their clean, kid-friendly restaurants, etc. I hate their politics and prejudice. They're going to have to do a LOT of changing and apologizing before I go near one again.
On the bright side, I now know that my moral fiber is stronger than tasty, tasty chicken.

this is so ridiculous.
i love their lemonade and their polynesian sauce, as well as their salads and polite employees. but i'll never go there again after their fuckery in the last couple of weeks.
You could've pulled this shit in the 80s (hell, even in the 90s). But how can you run a major corporation in 2012 and REALLY think you're going to get away with flat out lying about a popular and already-controversial news story!?
And yeah... the Jim Henson toys probably have the HIV... because we all know that's a "the gay" disease! DON'T GIVE YOUR INNOCENT CHILDREN AIDS!
Whoever does PR for them needs to be fired, then tarred, feathered and quartered.
Not that I agree with what they're doing, because I'm absolutely disgusted by it. But from having two degrees in PR, this is an unbelievable train wreck.
I never get tired of their responses to things like this.
And yeah, I loved Chick-Fil-A when I lived in NC, and have never been one to get riled up and boycott much of anything, but this? Yeah, I'm done with them.
There was a news item here today about an Alderman who is trying to stop the building of what would be the second CFA in Chicago because of all of this ridiculousnes.
A few members of DH's ultra conservative family from MS have posted about supporting them. UGH! Yes, they have freedom of speech but do people really not get how disgusting it is that a company or at least their top dog is so open about discrimination? I sooo want to say something just to piss them off but I know the backlash will be against DH and I do have to interact with these people every so often.
