This is the kind of thing that does no good in the movement for acceptance.
Gays feel threatened by chick fila
Really? You're in college and you're threatened by the existence of a chicken restaurant?

How can a atraight person know what scares the crap out of a gay person?
Sure you might thik a guys hairy arse approaching your face is scarry but it might just be fast food chicken on a bun that is the real threat.

The students even took to theatrics, such as crying and hyperventilating, before a vote was held on whether the restaurant could stay or not- despite a majority of students having no problem with them on campus.
And they wonder why no one takes them seriously..

I don't agree with what the protesters did, but is it any different from Christians claiming that society, the family or the institution of marriage are "threatened" by gay marriage? I don't see any difference. I think they're both stupid positions.

I haven't seen any Christians protesting at a company that supports gay marriage.

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen. I sometimes work with a gay male, and we've been to lunch several times at a local Chick-fil-A, per his suggestion. He has never felt "unsafe," nor does he have a problem with the company's position. He thinks the protests and boycotts by some of the gay community is asinine, and does not help the community as a whole.

Agreed, but they have the right to protest. I dont think the company should be removed from the school though.

Are you out of your fricking mind? Disney, Ford, JCPenney and many other companies have been boycotted and heavily criticized by Christian groups for far less than supporting gay marriage.

Never heard of any of it. Do you have any pics of the protests or articles demanding that they be shut down?

A massive crowd of zealous Christians intent on a homophobic pogram might start stoning them with week old hardened chicken sandwiches while invoking tactics by the Westboro church. Now that sort of act would be scary to ponder by them.
