According to my Facebook feed, it seems that anyone who ate at CFA yesterday is a mindless homophobe bigot.

So going by their thinking, I will assume that anyone who supports gay marriage acts exactly like this fella.

I bet he wishes he could have a "do over" for yesterday. This is great news! With his new found "fame," he may find it difficult to get another job. I sure hope so.

Apparently his adjunct professor contract with the University of Arizona expired at the end of the Spring semester and it doesn't look like he'll be teaching there again. http://uanews.org/story/ua-statement-re ... adam-smith" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Don't you just love tragic stories that have happy endings?

You mean actions have consequences?

Interesting concept.

To be precise, labeling someone a homophobe is what's mindless.... I mean, when you think about it, and foregoing all the details, :thumbs2: we are programed by nature to be attracted to the opposite sex. It's a perfectly natural state of mind (course my wife says there is nothing natural about my mind) ;-) but what does she know, she married me. :coolgleamA:

I was impressed by the Chick Fil A girl's composure. You couldnt have picked a better person to represent the company. She was pleasant, professional, mature.... perfect. In contrast her behavior made the jerk look look even more jerkier. Bet she is a college kid.

I hope she gets recognition within the organization. Hope you guys on facebook start a campaign for her. (Im not a facebooker)

I have read the original statement that first caused this controversy, and nowhere was gay marriage mentioned.

The owner did say that he supported traditional marriage.

If the blowhards on the left thought the lines at the restaurants were long, wait until they see the lines at the polling places in November. Sure hope the voters show the same spirit for the voting booth as the did for the chicken sandwitches.
If the 2nd admendment only applies to muskets and muzzle-loaders, then the 1st admentment must apply only to the spoken or printed word. Printing must be done on hand presses, news stories must be written in longhand, no keyboards or electric processes may be used.

Ate there three times this week. Been there one time before in my whole life.

Its not so much that I dislike gay marriage, it is that I like freedom of speech.

Seems to me the government should not be in the marrying business. Marrying is a religious ceremony. Government isn't suppose to do that. They should provide partnership licenses to anyone who wants one.

Churches do the marrying.

Church won't marry you, find one that will.

Its that simple.

To eat at Chick-Fil-A?
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

This is my take on it as well. In fact, don't even call it a license. It should be an after the fact informational filing with the government.
