This is a cheap promo to increase business. This not a political statement. This pandering to get a one week spike in business is just total BS. Shame on any company (left or right) to try this cheap manipulative tactic.
I don't like their food but now I don't like them.
Gullible consumers!

I think they have a good reason to exploit their business....

"•Several left-wing activist blogs launched an all-out attack on Chick-fil-A.
•Some started calling the company's main product "Jesus Chicken."
•They mocked and belittled the company's "Not Open on Sunday" policy.
•They smeared company employees, calling them "anti-gay."
•One individual – Michael Jones – started an online petition campaign "demanding" that Chick-fil-A renounce "extreme anti-gay groups."
•Users of Facebook organized witch hunts on college campuses.
•In a feature article that ran in the New York Times' Sunday A-section, reporter Kim Severson attacked Chick-fil-A saying it is "anti-gay."

All that because one Chick-fil-A franchise donated a few sandwiches to a seminar aimed at helping couples strengthen their marriages. That reaction certainly seems like making a mountain out of a mole hill. You get the sense that there's more to this attack on Chick-fil-A than meets the eye. And you're right. There is. Chick-fil-A operates on Biblical principles and that irritates secularists."

I think any attacks on any business is wrong! Using the gay excuse of boycotting chick-fil-a because they are pro marriage and family is sad. Not sure why gays have to go after a family business that is Christian. They did it to e-harmony, you think this is fair?

Was it fair for black students to "go after" Woolworth's by sitting down at their segregated lunch counters and refusing to leave?

People boycott businesses all the time for all kinds of different reasons. I seem to remember not all that long ago a huge Christian campaign to boycott some company because they thought its logo looked like the symbol for Islam.

And how about this?

Conservatives urge P&G boycott

Christian groups go after Crest, Tide due to company's opposition to Cincinnati anti-gay statute

Well, one of them did carry a purse.

However, it was not clear to me how that made an apparently genderless stuffed animal creature "gay".
