Lots of Chick-fil-A fans in this country are facing a serious conundrum after the chain's president Dan Cathy confirmed what we've suspected all along: The company is vehemently anti-gay marriage. Although the chain recently posted on their Facebook page, "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena," customers can't be confident that the cash they're forking over for their combo meal isn't going to end up supporting anti-gay organizations like Exodus International and the Family Research Council, given the company's track record!
But if you're pro-gay and you still can't stop being koo-koo for Chick-fil-A's signature fried chicken sandwiches, what are you supposed to do to get your fix?! Make your own alternative version ... coined the "Chick-fil-Gay" by hilarious YouTube chef and comedian Hilah Johnson!
Top three reasons why the Chick-fil-Gay beats the "real thing":
- As Hilah points out, the best time for a fried chicken sandwich is Sunday morning. But who is closed on Sunday morning? Chick-fil-A! But you can eat the Chick-fil-Gay anytime!
- The copycat version has "less sugar, less salt, and less funding for anti-human-equality organizations." Plus, instead of being prepared with MSG -- ick -- this chicken is marinated in pickle juice!!
- It'll probably even satisfy the cravings of these fierce, Chick-fil-A lovin' drag queens. (Remember them?! Amaaazing!)

I have two words for you: "Yum!" and "LOL!" Someone give this woman her own Food Network show!
Would you rather make the "Chick-fil-Gay" than patronize Chick-fil-A?

I'd try that recipe. I never thought of marinading the chicken in pickle juice :-p
However the extreme whining and fussing that is being made about this has encouraged me to eat at Chik fil a every night this week. Will continue to do so at whim, it's worth the extra work out hours just to do my part to negate the biggest overly sensitive cry fest group in American history, next only to the bible belt Christians.
If you support gay marriage, but you give money to a company that actively donates millions to anti gay organizations, then you're nothing but a hypocrite and you're helping idiots hurt gay people.
Not very good people do that.
I agree this is stupid. It is impossible to find any retailer, restaraunt, or service provider who 100% agrees with every person's personal beliefs. If we boycott everybody we don't agree with we would never go anywhere or do anything.
Maressa, why do you advocate a boycott for Chick-Fil-A, who is anti-gay marriage, but you laugh at a boycott against Oreo, who released a rainbow pro-gay marriage cookie? You are a ball of contradictions and think your opinions are more valuable and correct than the opinions of someone who disagrees with you. Not a good trait, Maressa, not a good one at all.
I will never eat at a place that stinks, no matter what they give money to, even if they gave it to me.
Please show me or tell me where these people and their 'millions' have any REAL effect on harming gay people? Yes they are promoting a cause that ALREADY like minded people agree with. That's life, people (large groups of them) don't have to agree with you. They will not change the minds of gay people, nor sway anyone's vote who isn't already supporting them. They aren't taking away gay relationships.
No matter what the fundamentalists do to share their sentiment to the people, it won't change the fact that gay people WILL have the right to marry soon. And if not, it's because not enough of the country supports it legally of their own conviction, not because fundamentalist groups got chicken sandwich money and advertised.
They are being harmed by this movement just about as much as the Christians are being harmed by their movement: Not at all. They are simply making each others ideal lives uncomfortable. And in the end, equal rights will prevail.
Would you also call a person who disagrees with gay marriage but who votes to allow it based on freedom of choice a hypocrite? Or is hypocrite only reserved when it's supporting something you don't agree with?
Yeah, the waffle fries are pretty good but I remain completely unconflicted.
The privately held, family owned Chick-fil-A is certainly free to flex its evangelical Christian muscles, just as I'm free to decide that Chick-fil-A leaves a bad taste in my mouth. http://gigabiting.com/those-arent-fries-on-chick-fil-as-values-menu/
TOLERATE TOLERATE TOLERATE BU THEN WE WON'T TOLERATE YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A DIFFERANCE OF OPINION NOPE BTW IF YOU WILL NOTICE THEY ASKED A QUESTION THEY ANSWERED HONESTLY WHAT DO WANT EM TO DO LIE. PLUS IT'S NOT ANTI GAY IT'S PRO GOD'S WORD.
