Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day!

I dont get why so many people are emphasizing that the chick-fil-a appreciation day was a significant showing by stating it was a record breaking day, all I needed to see to be impressed with the size of the protest was giant fucking lines around the block. Frankly, I don’t give a fuck what Chick-Fil-A’s past one-day-record-sales figure is, seeing giant fucking lines at multiple stores around the nation is enough to make me think, “hmm, this is probably more people than Chick-Fil-A has ever had in one day”. It’s Chick-Fil-A, not Apple. It makes chicken, and every now and then premiers a new sauce or combination of sandwich ingredients. It has not, for example, like apple, regularly, continuously, over the past decade, released revolutionary products that alter the course of life in one way or another. Unless of course, you don’t like their food, it revolts you (more importantly your stomach), and every time you happen to go, you get explosive dia
rreah that alters the course of your day by confining you to a toilet seat and a feeling, at the end of the day, that you’ve rubbed your asshole with sandpaper.

Also not revolutionary: being against equal marriage rights. In fact, some would say, from its chicken to its views on equality, Chick-Fil-A is a follower, not a leader. I like the chicken at Chick-Fil-A as much as the chicken at any other chicken selling venue. But i can’t help but feel sad at Chick-Fil-A’s CEO’s inability to understand the depth of true love that like in heterosexual couples, isn’t always found in homosexual couples, but sometimes is, and when it is and when it’s not, the effort to find that love should be respected and lauded, and the desire to celebrate it with equal grandiosity and legality as all other humans, belongs to every human. Gay and straight.

Epilogue: If being gay was a choice, no one would choose to be gay, given the severe persecution and risk to your life if you make that choice. Having said that, if someone were to choose to be gay i'd still give them a hug and a high five for having the courage to choose what makes him/her happy and not be confined by many's narrow-minded intolerance.
