| Chick-fil-A 'kiss-in' day marred by hateful graffiti; restaurant vandalized (Posted on 8/3/12 at 11:15 am)
Shades of what happened in Los Angeles after Prop 8 passed.
quote:
On a day that some gay-rights activists are planning a "National Same-Sex Kiss Day," a Chick-fil-A in Torrance was vandalized overnight with hateful graffiti. Chick-fil-A employees were greeted Fridays morning with the words "Tastes like hate" scrawled in large black lettering mimicking the chain's advertising across the back wall of the restaurant at 182nd Street and Hawthorne Boulevard in Torrance.
quote:
On Friday, some gay-rights activists are encouraging same-sex couples to go one of the chicken restaurant's locations and take a photo or video of themselves kissing. It remains unclear whether this protest will generate the huge crowds that turned out Wednesday for "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day," when tens of thousands waited through long lines in a show of support for the executive. The privately held company declined to give specific sales figures but released a statement to the Los Angeles Times confirming that frenzied sales of chicken sandwiches and cross-cut waffle fries had made for a record-setting day.

Maybe this is why the gay rights movement is not getting nearly as much support as the civil rights movement did.

This. Maybe we should implement gay only water fountains to help the cause. And the 'tastes like hate' is irony at its finest.

If hate tastes like chicken, then what does AIDS taste like?

Agreed. Dr. King was strongly influenced by Gandhi's idea of non-violent protests. He knew that if the civil rights marchers did anything violent, the movement would never gain traction among the general populace. But to simply allow oneself to be arrested without resistance would gain respect at the least and more support at the most. That's why Rosa Parks remains an honored figure in the movement.

This. About to delete myself from Facebook over the people that keep talking about "Christians" and "gays" in general terms.

If no one gives a shite why the hell do they not have equal rights? Why do Christians think they are immoral, sinful human beings, and cast so much judgement on them.

Don't really lump that in there with the likes of lynching or shooting someone. Do you? Violence was the key word there. By the way, the debate on whether or not homosexuals should have equal rights is one that I can say with 100 percent certainty that social conservatives are wrong about. 40 years from now we will look back at pictures of people lining up out side of a chick-fil-a and laugh. They will be a textbook example to our children of how not to behave.
