Chick-fil-A Opening in California Draws Protest by Gay Marriage Supporters
by Hilton Hater at .Unlike the cities of Boston and Chicago, Laguna Hills did not place a ban on the opening of Chick-fil-A in its area. But perhaps it now wishes it had.
A new store in that town was greeted this morning by protestors from the Orange County Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center, holding signs and calling for boycotts of the chain whose President has come out against gay marriage.
Aside from simply saying his company was "guilty as charged" when it came to supporting the "biblical definition of marriage," Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy has donated millions to the Marriage & Family Foundation and the Family Research Council.
The issue first came to attention when Ed Helms Tweeted his reaction to that news and said Chick-fil-A had lost him as a customer.
The The Jim Henson Company has also severed ties with the store, who tried to stem the tide of public disdain by releasing a statement that read: "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."
So far, as today demonstrated, it has not worked.

Well said, John! Everyone has the right to voice their opinion. The day we start attacking people for not believing how we believe, we might as well become a communist country. I went to the Wednesday "service", so to speak. I went in support of a man being reviled because he has a personal opinion. That's nuts. That is NOt what this country was founded on!
I think for the next few months chik fil a will have same store sales way way above expectations.
As usual republicans love to hate. But when they feel the slightest bit threatened, they play the victim. People have the right to voice thier opinion, but I agree that it comes responbility espically for someone on TV or the head of a company. And we have a right to the respond support of hate with protest. Its american to protest. Its humane to love, to tolerate, understand, and allow others to marry who they love.
Maybe normal people, should start picketing the businesses run by these abnormal misfits. They have the nerve, to disrupt a business, for having an opinion, that differs from theirs.
