Yes, Chick-fil-A Says, We Explicitly Do Not Like Same-Sex Couples

(sorry if this has been posted)

Bet Chick-fil-A wishes this month would end. Over the past few weeks, the restaurant chain's deep ties to the anti-gay movement have been exposed and uncovered by a number of activists, most notably Jeremy Hooper at Good As You. Whether it's Focus on the Family, the National Organization for Marriage, the Pennsylvania Family Institute, or Exodus International, Chick-fil-A ties run deep.

Of course, the President of Chick-fil-A wants gay people to share no hard feelings. The restaurant will gladly feed homosexuals gobs of chicken sandwiches, after all. But when it comes to marriage, Chick-fil-A believes strongly that same-sex couples just don't deserve equal rights.

As we wrote about a few weeks ago, Chick-fil-A's charitable arm, the WinShape Foundation, has been particularly active in the fight against marriage equality. They've hosted conferences with some of the leading opponents of gay marriage in this country. A higher up at WinShape has even praised the efforts of anti-gay activist David Blankenhorn for working against marriage equality, and for articulating a solid reason why American culture should reject same-sex couples.

Now comes some email correspondence that Good As You has shared on their blog, where the WinShape Foundation's Retreat Center -- a center run by the charitable arm of Chick-fil-A -- admits that they have a severe distaste for LGBT people.

Aw, poor heterophobes.  The fudgepunchers don't like Chick-fil-A now.

12. Sounds like some "gays" should
 Occupy these dreadful places, and have a kiss in. Don't buy any food, just bring your partner and hold hands and kiss. Let them throw you out, and then sue the shit out of them. Bring your cell phone for proof. Or just stand outside and hold hands and kiss to "scare" their customers away. We have one of those places out here. I never even heard of it before last year. I have never eaten there. And never will. I would love to do an occupy, but I have no partner.   :(   

You can't even get someone who wants you just for your hole?

I'd pay to see those lily-whites go to a Church's fried chicken in south Florida.
