Ed Helms to Boycott Chick-fil-A Over Company's Anti-Gay Marriage Stance
by Hilton Hater at .Ed Helms is hilarious in The Hangover and on The Office.
But the actor does not take the stance of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy as a laughing matter.
In a recent interview with a Christian publication, Cathy said his company is "guilty as charged" when it comes to accusations that it is opposed to gay marriage, adding that Chick-fil-A supports the "biblical definition of the family unit."
That is the company's right, of course, and it's led to Helms exercise his own right.
"Chick-Fil-A doesn't like gay people? So lame," Helms Tweeted yesterday. "Hate to think what they do to the gay chickens! Lost a loyal fan."
Helms is not alone in his stance. Many associated with NOH8 - such as Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian - have also called for a Chick-fil-A boycott.
Where do you stand on Helms' decision to boycott the restaurant?

The opposition to Helm's' stance are just crazy. We live in the land of the free. Free to speak, free to be gay, and free to boycott a chicken nugget chain. Can't wait to see how many discrimination lawsuits get filed against the self righteous chain coincidentally. If you thought Mc Donald's had it bad with hot coffee, just wait. Hollywood can sway people very strongly.Good for Helms and the rest in disagreeance with the chain. You want garbage food? Go to any other fast food chain other than Chick fila. Won't miss um. Bike thumping idiots, all the way .
Kusa wrote ~ "I am against gay marriage but I have gay friends." You are a hypocrite. I think all of your gay friends should delete you and your supposed friendship. you're just another example.. you want all the benefits of having gay friendships without taking a stand for your gay friends. What a sleaze.
Are we forgetting about the thousands of people that rely on their paychecks from the jobs provided by Chic-fil-a???????? Some of us have bills to pay and mouths to feed. FREEDOM OF SPEECH is something our fore fathers and ancestors died for.
I wonder what these celebs if that is what you want to call them, I have another name for them but I'll keep it to myself are thinking about, Oh that's right when you are high on narcotics, alcahol. or other mind bending things, How can you think? If I decided to follow these peoples way of living and thinking I would have to check myself into REHAB more often than they do. Maybe it's time to starting to call sponsors of these people shows and ask the sponsors what would happen if we all boycotted their products.
We do business with and give our money to companies run by people who hold varying worldviews. Trump is a political and social conservative. Not too many people seem to care. He's raking in millions by the day. He is just one example. How many others have negative opinions about gays and gay marriage, but they just don't say anything publicly. So, as long as we don't know, it's ok? Mayor Emanuel of Chicago said CFA is not welcome in his city yet he is more than accepting of Luis Farrakhan (Nation of Islam) who said that Jews are of Satan and gays should be put to death. The level of hypocrisy from the liberal side in this whole debate is through the roof! "Tolerance" applies until someone disagrees, right?
