a chickens right to choose

excerpt:

Nicknamed “Jesus chicken” by jaded secular fans and embraced by Evangelical Christians, Chick-fil-A is among only a handful of large American companies with conservative religion built into its corporate ethos. But recently its ethos has run smack into the gay rights movement. A Pennsylvania outlet’s sponsorship of a February marriage seminar by one of that state’s most outspoken groups against homosexuality lit up gay blogs around the country. Students at some universities have also begun trying to get the chain removed from campuses.

“If you’re eating Chick-fil-A, you’re eating anti-gay,” one headline read. The issue spread into Christian media circles, too.

jesus chicken!!!

I eat there on occasion at the WSU student center because Jesus Chicken is a little better than the taco bell and the like that's available there. I don't care for their politics and religion... but I don't reckon it's up to me to define and correct all the wrongs in the world. As long as the chicken is ok and reasonably priced, I'll eat there once in a while.

I thought for this would be about Church's chicken but Chick-fil-A is good also. They are a bit pricey but good.

Oh I'm sure that will change the owners views. I expect they would prefer that their customers don't "eat gay".

I don't recall ever seeing a gay chicken, Perhaps I did and just didn't know it.

Maybe they end up in sandwiches because they're lesbians and they don't lay eggs.

Or maybe they came into contact with this guy at some point:

It's not what they look like. It's how they use their peckers.

People often ask, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Actually, it was the rooster.
