I have eaten at a chic-filet in a mall. I will no longer eat there. I don't want to eat anywhere that would not welcome my son.
I just looked it up and they are in 39 states.

They would welcome your son. What makes you think they wouldn't?

The owner of the company is against "gay marriage," but at no time has any Chick-fil-A restaurant ever barred any customer for being gay.

It's one thing to disagree with the owner's views on "gay marriage." But accusing them of "not welcoming your son" is just false.

Perhaps you can't understand how I feel because you have never lived it. They may tolerate my son be there and welcome his spending his money, but that doesn't mean they would welcome him. My son would some day like to be married. When that happens, would they be so tolerant or "welcoming" if he went there with his spouse? That is a very serious issue for me.
I'm certainly not recommending other people not to go there, it's is their choice.
Can you begin to imagine what it is like to travel in the country and your son is afraid to get out of the car because of fear someone will attack him? I've lived it.

We don't have any in this state that I know of. I've only seen them in the southern states. I would definitely eat there again. Their personal opinion on an issue wouldn't stop me. People are being so silly about this but quite honestly, I don't understand why any business has to make known their personal opinions about morality or lifestyle, one way or the other.

>>>I don't understand why any business has to make known their personal opinions about morality or lifestyle>>>

Chick-fil-A didn't do that. Not until it was targeted by the "gay marriage gestapo" and made the object of a LGBT boycott.

It was the gays who picked this fight. Not Chick-fil-A.

It's the gays who ALWAYS pick these fights. Look what they did to Carrie Prejean. If Perez Hilton hadn't specifically asked her about "gay marriage," she would have had no problem keeping her views on it to herself.

Wrong answer. I thought you said "hate". I did enjoy their food and still do. But I feel like a Hipster that think "I liked them before they were cool". Remember the good 'ole days when you could eat at an establishment and not be judged for taking a political position because you were there more for the tasty food?

I haven't eaten there since I was a teen; when I had horrible tastes in food, (Taco Bell Grande was my fav) and didn't care so much about my health or wasting my money needlessly.

Additionally, the closest one to me is approximately 60 miles away, and here gas is 3.37 a gallon right now.

People can believe in whatever they want, and support whomever they like; I have no issue with that.

But driving an hour in traffic and spending major money to fill the gas tank, on top of buying unhealthy fast food to prove a point is just foolish to me.

I lived in another state where one was much closer. After politicians attacked Cathy, I made a point of finding one here to support his right to free speech and religion. IMO, the food there is pretty much like food from any other fast food joint.
