She has also written for Thought Catalog,The Daily Bruin,The Daily Breeze, and Peninsula People magazine. The students of Johns Hopkins University have a message for Chick-fil-A: No, thank you. The university’s Student Government Association approved a resolution this week saying that university officials should pick “other non-discriminatory options†and rule out any “current and future Chick-fil-A development plans†if searching for new dining vendors on campus. In the resolution, which passed 18 to 8, the SGA stated that having a Chick-fil-A location on campus would be a “microaggression†toward the campus community, including “visiting prospective and current students, staff, faculty, and other visitors who are members of the LGBTQ community or are allies.†According to the resolution, the SGA’s stance stems from Chick-fil-A President and CEO Dan Cathy’s “decisive statements against†the LGBTQ community. Cathy is known for his anti-LGBT sentiments, rooted in his religious beliefs, which were highly publicized beginning in summer 2012, raising controversy and protest around the brand.

No Chick-fil-A is planed for the school, yet, she feels "banning" some thing that is not going to happen any way is a good thing. I wonder if she thought to take half the time she spent to research, promote and get the "ban" pass, to instead, picket in front of a chick-fil-a store? Perhaps pass out small flyers at the store explaining the stores hateful position on social issues. Who knows, maybe she could have reach a few people and changed some view points. Of course, then she would miss out on all the attention her feel go ban got her.

In other news, Alaska has banned the hunting of elephants.
Then I'll show them. I will organize a boycott of Alaskan elephant hunting!
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
Too bad, I was going to open an Alaskan Ele-phi-let!
