Chick-Fil-A Meets The Real Haters With Love


chick-fil-a_t470So yesterday there was barely a peep from the “protesters” who barely showed up. While there were some who protested Chick-Fil-A for their pro-marriage stand based upon the Bible, for the most part it was relatively quiet, which makes the point that these people are 1) a very small minority, 2) don’t really have the core convictions they claim, like those who showed up on Wednesday, and 3) they are simply incapable of dealing with the issue in a mature way.

Carly McGehee, a Dallas political activist came up with the idea to have a “kiss-in” protest at Chick-Fil-A. I mean I’m sure it took a lot of thought to come up with that. While her Facebook page began all the hoop-la, and more than 15,000 people said they would attend (which is about the amount of people that showed up at one Charlotte, NC Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday), the people that did attend were completely caught off guard.

Decatur, GA actually saw a whopping “more than 20″ protestors. Homosexuality is not popular, nor is it normal. The organizer of the “non-event,” Marci Alt, 48, of Atlanta even invited the president of Chick-Fil-A to her house for dinner. Cathy has not replied, nor do I really expect him to do so.

Two young ladies weren’t attending the event. Bria Kam and Chrissy Chambers from Atlanta wrote a song about why they were no longer going to eat the chicken sandwiches and waffle fries they love, and performed it in a YouTube video. Again, they simply demonstrated their own hypocrisy in the video, showing their hatred. I’m willing to guess though that these ladies probably don’t have the fortitude to actually stay away from those tasty chicken sandwiches and yummy lemonade for long. Once all the brew-ha-ha is over, they’ll be spending money like before. After all, Chick-Fil-A’s values have been in existence long before they were born. By the way for Bria and Chrissy, you sing “can’t have it anymore.” Actually you can. No one is stopping you. It’s your choice to not eat at Chick-Fil_A, just like it’s your choice whether you want to engage a woman or a man in sexual intimacy.

We have heard the name calling in the media and we have heard how “hateful” Chick-Fil-A is, but what we have witnessed, not only in the past two weeks, but specifically on Friday simply shuts the mouths of those who are proclaiming lies and demonstrated who the real haters are. So what was Chick-Fil-A’s response to these individuals maligning them, slandering them, distorting the facts and basically thumbing their noses at the franchise? Love. That’s what Chick-Fil-A showed. They showed those that hate them love.

Gay rights activists are planning demonstrations at Chick-fil-A restaurants to protest the fast-food chain owners’ opposition to same-sex unions

A Chick-fil-A employee hands out water at a “Chick-fil-A Is Anti-Gay!” protest Wednesday in Hollywood. Other outlets were mobbed as patrons showed their support for the chain.

That’s right, Chick-Fil-A didn’t back into a corner and talk about the people outside and fume at them or make derogatory statement. They went out and met them, were friendly to them and sought to serve them.

What is ironic is the fact that many held up signs that said “Jesus ate fish” as though that had anything to do with it and “Hate is not a family value.” Now this last one is, as I said, ironic. The hatred promoted by the members of the homosexual hate group who were involved in this protest should probably consider the values they are passing on to others. After all, Ms. Alt, the organizer, has two small children. What is she actually teaching them? She’s teaching them that people cannot have an opposing view without being labeled as haters and being treated as such, which the other side not only disagrees with her, but humbly seeks to serve those like her in love.

Tell me, if your kids grow up do you want them to behave as sexual deviants and on top of that bring their sexual deviancy out of the closet instead of clean it or would you prefer to see them become fine upstanding citizens who though they disagree with others seek to do the right thing?

I know which one I prefer. Again, kudos to Chick-Fil-A for the display of love, morals and conviction in the midst of hatred and demonizing. May you always honor the God of the Scriptures and the Lord Jesus Christ.

UPDATE: Many of you asked how you might express support for Rachel, the young woman in AZ who had hate expressed towards her by the now jobless Adam Smith. Well a website has been established for people to show their support of Rachel and she may just appear on Fox News as well. Here’s the link.

We stopped by CFA to find these flowers given by a customer to Rachel. They were anonymously given. Thank you for your kindness and support.

UPDATE 2: Adam Smith, the man that berated Rachel at the Chick-Fil-A, made an apology video of sorts. While he does apologize to Rachel, which seems genuine and honest, but he continues on with his rant against Chick-Fil-A. What the problem is in the video is he fails to see the ‘destructive nature of the homosexual community’ and the hatred that they clearly show. He continues to put forth a lie that homosexuals rights are under attack. The problem is that he is promoting special rights for homosexuals. They already possess the same rights as everyone else.

    And by meeting the haters with love, Chick-Fil-A has proven that it really does subscribe to Christian values because this kind of thing is exactly what the Lord told us to do to our enemies.

    Never once have I ever witnessed or heard hatefilled, hurtful slander being spewed out of Christian mouths against anyone. And yet Christians are always being called “intolerant” by the looney LIbtards.
    Kudos to Chik-fil-A! You definitely showed your true colors! A “rainbow” of love towards all.

    There’s nothing the radical far left, (which includes many in the gay community), hates more, (other than Christians and Conservative Tea Party folks), than to be treated with kindness and charity while they spew their vitriol of hatred and intolerance for all the world to see.

    The message of compassion, charity, tolerance, and goodness that these great Chick-fil-A workers showed, exposes even more the radical left’s hypocrisy of hate and intolerance, along with their failed protest projection tactics.

    You Go Chick-fil-A !

    The only ones using the word hate is the homos. Standing up for what you believe is not hate it is freedom, no matter what side you stand on. Live and let live, some people just don’t get it. They think the way to get there freedom is to take someone elses. We all have the freedom to love whoever we want. You can stand for something with out hate having anything to do with it.

  • SicOfObama

    Gay is NOT a race. How can one be a racist or a bigot if they just don’t believe in or want to be gay? It’s all about hate and control when someone forces their lifestyle on others. Nobody likes having something they don’t like forced on them. I don’t call gays bigots or racists because they don’t accept my lifestyle. It’s all about hate and the power to control and kick up a stink. Attention, power to hurt, power to be ugly, power to be nasty, power to be queer.

    The crowd that showed up on Friday had a fundamental misunderstanding of Chick-Fil-A’s position. They’re not anti-gay: they both serve and hire gays. The misunderstanding and hate lays all on one side — that of the “anti-Chick-Fil-A” crowd.

  • etohdoc

    Maybe these gays should read the Bible instead of spending so much time protesting. CHICK-fil-A is a great company. To bad the hate of the Gays can not see that..

  • democratsarefools

    This entire sorry episode, like OWS is brought to us by the Commander of Community Organizers. Barack Huessieny Obama, mmm mmm mmm.

  • Nancy Sternberg

    God Bless Chick-fil-A. They have demonstrated how to deal with these protesters. Who knows that they may have a change of heart and get born again.

    Chick-fil-A sent a resounding message to all the RINOs in congress. If you stand for conservative principles and don’t back down, you will win and the American people will back you . . . every time.
    When you try to appease to the immoral and abhorrent leftists, you don’t win any friends from the left and you lose respect from the conservatives.

    It is an election year. Satan is going no holds barred. The rise of Pagans is disturbing, yet not surprising. The only hope these Pagans have is to turn to Jesus, yet they reject him. Even one day Pagans will bow, but it could be late for the.

    Yesterday, I ate at Chuck-Fil-A for the first time in months… not to support opposition to gay marriages, but in support of our freedom of speech. The first amendment to the US Constitution guarantees us the right to speak our minds. People should be able to agree or disagree with any controversial issue without fear of retaliation from government (like some of our cities’ mayors). Peaceful boycotts are another matter as they represent legitimate protests by those with dissenting views. However, it’s ironic that people who scream the loudest about the need for tolerance tend to be the least tolerant among us. Their response seems all to often, “if you don’t agree with us, we’ll ‘make’ you agree”. How sad.

  • ladynavigator

    This entire thing was a set up by the media to continue to attack free enterprise and in this particular incidence, a Christian company. I have wondered who asked Dan Cathey his stance on this matter. I am sure that he didn’t just walk up to a podium and start this himself. Who asked him. ? Another distraction and attempt to divide the country. Divide and Conquer. Obama”s Motto.

  • underthewire

    Now where was PITA on this issue? Oh Obama ate a dog. Ad if i hada chicken it would look just like the one in Chick-Fil-A.

  • phil_in_VA

    Thank you Chik-Fil-A for acting in a mature and responsible manner. This article, however is ugly, and pretends to be “loving” while characterizing normal human sexuality as “deviant”… grow up and realize that not everyone lives in your bubble.

  • runstowin

    It would not be hatefull not serve “gay men and women” actually they are sodomites, if we did not act as if people who ingage in sexually perverse behavior are just alright, we would have fewer of them. We get more of what we encourage, and less of what we discourage. I care enough about sodomites that I want to discourage people from engaging in self-destructive sexuaul behavior.

    • Winghunter

      Sexual deviants make up less than 2%
      of our population of which has approximately 80% of the nation’s AIDs and 64% of the syphilis. AIDS was not the original name for the disease. It was called GRID (gay-related immunodeficiency disease) before the medical community was physically threatened and intimidated by the deviant terrorists demands to change it from the rightful dishonor of their disgusting behavior that spread it in the first place. No wonder the Gaystapo’s first demands included hospital visitation rights as the majority of them wind up in long term (and expensive) hospital care.

      There are NO ‘rights’ for a behavior, deviant or otherwise and not a single society in the long history of mankind has EVER confused sexual deviants & marriage http://bit.ly/LquTqM

      50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10).Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, “Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person” (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10).Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8).37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8).41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8).Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8).The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8). [This is a reduction in the length of life by 44% (33/75 = 44%)The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8).Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8).21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8).50% of the calls to a hotline to report “queer bashing” involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18).About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).

    I’ve had a lot of gay friends in the past and they were not like the gays are acting today. We’ve had dinner parties for each other and they were perfect gentlemen….they kept their private lives behind closed doors. When the aids epidemic arrived I took care of them and cooked their meals, did their laundry and when I could take them to the doctor. They’ve all passed away and I miss them…they were wonderful and true friends. We are all God’s children. They did not ask for anything special, just to be treated like a human being. Why can’t people learn???
