Dan Cathy and the folks at Chick-Fil-A have been gloating for the past 24 hours over their amazing sales day — the “best day ever” according to news reports based on Dan Cathy’s own comments.
Above, witness an official Chick-Fil-A Marketing Department press release about yesterday’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”
Below, witness a tweet from none other than Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church, a man who, despite his claims, has ties to Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” bill.
Yes, Rick Warren’s tweet says, “@dancathy just called me. #ChickFilA has already set a world record today, with 7 more hrs to go in the West. #OutOfChicken”
Yes, Chick-Fil-A does not comment on sales. Unless they have an unpaid spokesperson who is a Southern Baptist Minister and former Governor and former GOP presidential candidate, aka Mike Huckabee, trolling for them.
Not that any of this matter.
It’s not about the chicken. It’s not about Chick-Fil-A. It’s about fueling the culture wars and funding anti-gay groups to the tune of $5 million. It’s about supporting groups that literally lobby Congress to not condemn Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” bill.
It’s about hate. In the name of religion.

I can hear the arteries hardening now.
Perhaps we can get all the bigots to die off with heart disease? #EATMORECHICKFILA

I wonder how far they'd be willing to go to show they hate us.
Don't give them any ideas. They'll have the cattle cars and armed guards lined up just *waiting* to take us away to extermination camps. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/31/curtis-k…
It won't last, their brand image has taken a serious hit. One day of record breaking sales won't make up the losses that are ahead.
They're stupid. Tomorrow, their supporters will go back to eating at Chick-fil-A as often as they had before. However, plenty of gays and allies that used to eat there will never go back.
