I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the Chick-fil-A boycott failed.
The reason for this is quite simple: You don’t understand religion. See, you think you can just explain your side of the argument to people and you’re going to change their minds. What you don’t seem to get is that religious people don’t change their minds. That’s the entire point of having a religion.
I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness. I grew up thinking gay marriage was “immoral.” I thought gay people were bad until I realized I was in a cult and left. Just like me, these people won’t change their minds until they leave their religion. If anything, you’re just making them cling to their beliefs even harder than before.
Americans flocked to Chick-Fil-A today because they hate gays and they goddamn love Jesus. They are also fat. The only thing Americans hate more than gay people is salad. This was the perfect storm.
In that sense, the initial boycott did accomplish something very impressive: It managed to mobilize some of the plumpest chicken-scarfing asses this side of an audience for the Queens of Comedy. Normally, they don’t unfold the mobility scooter on a Wednesday. Today, though, was special. Today, they were scootin’ for Jesus.
Might any of you good Christian brothers be kind enough to funnel some of the Lord Baby Jesus’s hot gravy up into our tightly sealed buttholes? It’s for God.
Here’s the reason you mobilized them instead of shaming them: they don’t fucking think they’re wrong. At all! They think they’re right. Just like you don’t think you’re wrong because you think you’re right. Same thing.
Think about that for a second. Blows your mind, huh? Like, you know how you’re right because you support morals and justice and love and humanity? They feel exactly the same way that you do, in the exact same part of the brain.
Whoa, dude. Did you ever look at your hand, man? I mean, like, really look at your hand?
Now, you can choose to see the reality of this side of humanity and work with it in order to eventually get some kind of marriage equality, or you can continue to live in a bizarre utopia where your universal, objective “good” prevails because, you know, you want it to.
And then, next week, you can head over to Chick-fil-A and make out in front of everyone and piss them off even more.
Oh my, I seem to have dropped me a slab of butter on the asphalt. Help! Someone help me retrieve my butter! How can I eat my butter without butter?

THANK YOU FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN BUSINESS! WE NEED MORE BUSINESSES TO TAKE A STAND IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN! WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR EVIL, GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR GOOD!! GOD WILL BLESS YOU!!! LOVE YOU CHICK-FIL-A!!!!!
Elisha Fraley
Hi chick fil-a … kudos to the CEO for sticking up for what God says in His word. God does love all of mankind, but it is our sin that is wrong and shameful in his eyes no matter what that sin is.
Karen Bishop
I don’t eat chicken, but I am a fan!! Keep going on in God and He will go before you!!
Mechelle Ritchie Foster
We support you, Chick Fil A and God’s marriage plan.
Andrea K. West
My son and i just enjoyed a peach “moo shake”….terrific food and awesome values!!!!! Cincinnati chick-fil-a’s are a great example today of our Christian pride…..they ate packed and growing!!!!!
I call this: Spell-Chickin.

THANK YOU DAN CATHY for Standing UP FOR GOD’S WORDS. 
Fred Carleton
kudos to the boss for sticking with his God-loving principles. instead of lambasting him, the lame-stream-media ( if they had or used any brains ) would praise him as a God-fearing patriotic American of the 1st order.
Janet Antill
Thank you for standing up for christian morals! I’ve been married to the same man for 40 years! God’s word should always stand before man’s. Thanks again, God bless you.
Becky Stover
Thanking God for yummy food, and people willing to take a stand for what is right!
Chris Wray
Let’s take that drive and actively tell others the good news found in Christ alone. A chicken sandwich tastes good, but only Christ saves.
And I’m proud to be American! Cuz at least I know I’m retarded!
Sallie Pruitt-Payne
So tired of this Chick-fil-A stuff…just because you didn’t make it there today to show support doesn’t mean you are against the bible! Good grief …I know my bible..and there aren’t churches as packed as some of those places were today…show up to show support against gays? but can’t show up in church to support God?? Ppl have their priorities mixed up…the bible also says to love thy neighbor….Christian ppl are supposed to pray for the ones who need God in their lives not make a public display against them..I am not for or against them..God will have the final say…
Rebecca Moss
… BIBLE AND GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND DONT BE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BIBLE CLEARLY SAYS THAT GOD CREATED MAN (ADAM) AND CREATED HIM A HELPMATE (EVE)!!!!!!!!!!!! MARRIAGE IN THE EYES OF GOD IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN…….NOT BETWEEN TWO WOMEN OR TWO MEN!!!!!!!!! THAT IS NOT ONLY UNHOLY IT IS JUST DOWN RIGHT SICK!!!!!!!!! WE AS CHRISTIANS MUST LOVE EVERYONE BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN WE HAVE TO AGREE WITH THEM OR BEND DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND AS CHRISTIANS …
Leon Dillard
Now thats what im talkin bout . .. when you take a stand for God– you’re going to have people that hate you, disagree with you & try to dumb down sin. But if you stand & say.. what the bible says when someone ASKS you–we start to see these beautiful results. I stand & keep on standing with the bible. This never changes.
Krista Huddleston Wooley
Thank you God for all your blessings and allowing me, a sinner, to believe in you and your forgiveness of sins!!! For I know if it wasn’t for that, I would believe just as many others do today! Way to go Chick-fil-A!!!
In her defense, Jesus was not known for his stellar screen-printing skills
Nathanael Loveless
To all people who claim to be Christians in this hour and actually know God and dont have a form of Godliness,please understand that the same attack that has come to Chick-fila over homosexuality is the same that will come against everyone who claims Jesus and knows that it is a terrible lifestyle in the eyes of God,and speaks out against it. Chick-fila was asked their stance on this and they took a stand for Jesus and what is morally right. Supporting them is just like supporting the church because in supporting them, as God’s people and unsaved we are saying to the devil we will not let you pervert our society and our businesses with such demonic beliefs to have God destroy years of hardwork over not wanting to offend people over the truth.TAKE A STAND FOR JESUS AND HE WILL STAND FOR YOU.#GOAHEADCHICK-FILAWITHYOPROSPEROUSSELVES#
Rosalinda Victoria McNeal
Chick-fil-A….got support today here in Knoxville….Went to two differnrent, packed….God is in CONTROL….God’s truth stands forever
Joy Smith
God can not look on sin! So good to see people stand against SIN! This is not hating people, but God hates SIN. As John the Baptist proclaimed, Repent, the kindom of God is at hand. God will forgive all sins if one asks Him and repent and turn to Jesus Christ.
Reuel Williams
#ChickFiLa is #Kingdom. I’m in the lot taklking with other #Christians I don’t even know about keeping our feet on Satan’s neck. What?!?!?!
He’s never early, he’s always late. One thing that you learn is that Christians gotta hate. I’m. Waiting for my fries.
David Rock Nelson
Yes! Today is “Chick-Fil-A” Appreciation Day, “Fangs” to Brotha Huckaby! I want to go to one in Chicago, that was on news because owner said he believes in marriage between man & woman, not same sex. That’s how “nature” has always been, the only way people an come into World is though a female egg & male seed, that’s the only way it works. 2 “positives” can never cause a flow in current either, it’s “impossible”, that’s how nature is & how our Creator, God/Jesus made it. Amen. -Rock!
Chuck Collier
It is all about free speech. I have nothing against homo’s but I do believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. If that offends you to bad!!!
Jacqueline Hart
It’s as if Satan drew a line in the sand and dared Chick-fil-A to cross it!…Now the Great Jehovah is raising up an army!…stand faithful to God and His ways, He’ll show up faithful to you!”
Christine Foxc Fox
I support chick-fil-a all the way. God said it, and that settles it.
Hank Fiorini
I HAD 2 PARK IN A K-MART LOT! ALL THE AILES IN CHICK-FIL-A JAMMED RIGHT UP 2 THE BACK WALL! BOARDMAN, OH! THANK U, FAGS AND TRAITORS! AND I’M SURE CHICK-FIL-A AND ITS EMPLOYEES THANKS U 2!
James Allen Wyatt
The ‘media’ and homos -vs- JEHOVAH GOD. ANY QUESTION ABOUT WHO WILL THE UNQUESTIONABLE WINNER?
Tina Clark
PRAISE GOD the devil cant win GOD will not be defeated…..thanks to everyone for going to chick-fil-a today. I was standing in line and jyst dud not mind ir a bit…..GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL no matter how the world tries to destroy HIm.
Repent Trust Believe
What it comes to, is you either do, or you do not believe God’s Word the Bible. It’s really not confusing. The Bible says homosexuality is wrong, nay it is an abomination. So you either are saying the Bible is wrong or you are wrong. Thank you Chick-Fil-A for standing up for what is right. “True” followers of Christ Jesus have your back!
HAPPY ARE WE THAT HAVE BEEN WASHED CLEAN IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!!!
Roy Steven Williams
… our Lord God Jehovah. God created Eve for Adam spiritually. Homosexuallity is a practice that will never be God’s will for any of us.
THINK ABOUT…..HOW IF ONE IS PRACTICING THE ACT AS A HOMOSEXUAL, HOW YOU ARE KEEPING GOD FROM FINDING THAT MAN FOR A WOMAN OR WOMAN FOR A MAN. THAT IS GOD’S CHOICE FOR YOUR TO MARRY. BUT YOUR CHOICE IS KEEPING GOD FROM YOU MEETING YOUR SOUL MATE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX; CAUSE OF YOUR SINFUL LIFESTYLE.
Elizabeth Mercedes Uselton
I support chick-fil-a. God made a man and a woman. & that is how it is suppost to be. I do agree that we are not to judge only God can judge, but His word does say that only man and woman should be together. Just because He hasn’t done anything about it yet, doesn’t mean that He won’t. Judgement day is coming, and all will be judged.
Mark A Schminkey
Friends today is Chick-Fil-A appreciation day. As this world keeps going in the wrong direction away from God, His Son, Jesus, Messiah, Jeshua, Jehovah. Take time to stand for what the Bible says. If you don’t someday we might not be able to in the USA. Today I have every excuse available to not go for I am unemployed and without a car. BUT God gave me legs that can walk and a local Chick-Fil-A that I will be going to to show support for a company that was bold enough to not be politically correct and stand up for what the Bible says. Maybe if we stood up for God and put Him back in charge and forgot about our feeling we might be blessed by God again and He could meet all of our needs.
Troy Elliott Eckhardt
I have never had such fun standing in a long line. The customers were all friendly, well mannered (including the children and teens,) and jovial. Many were praising God aloud. There were no sarcastic comments from angst-ridden teens with shrapnel in their faces, and no displeased, pushing people. Many people arrived at the end of the line cheering, and those already waiting joined them time and time again.
The place was almost bubbling with love and unity. Blacks, whites, and all intermediate shades of people of all sizes and ages were just pleased to be together in support of their God, His ideals, and an American businessman who is bold enough not to worship at the alter of humanistic political correctness. It was the most pleasant group of selfish, pharisaical, bigoted, hateful, homophobic, intolerant hypocrites I’ve ever seen.
My dear biased media and insensed libtards, your ridiculous plans for doing damage to Chick-fil-A backfired: Your feigned outrage only fueled the fire. I also think that you are DEAD WRONG about how fringy we “fundie wackos” are. JCP’s stocks are in the toilet, and CFA’s sales hit unbelieveable record highs today. Thanks to your hatred, their income today will pay for years of closed Sundays. When will you see that YOU are the fringe loonies?
Let us pray that this boy does not gain 200 pounds between now and his 18th birthday.
More back story for the Canadians please, I think I figured it out anyway though.
“I support gay rights! Fuck Chick Fil A for saying they don’t support gays! Down with the kyriachy!
…except when it comes to fat people! Seriously, look at how gross they are. Go ahead and oppress them all you want. What are they going to do, sit on you? Here’s a few pages to get you started.
Also fuck Chick Fil A!”
How progressive.
Oh man, where to start? Back story: http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/01/us/us-chick-fil-a-controversy/index.html
All the same, my longstanding 29 year boycott will continue.
This whole thing is SO STUPID and basically just a distraction from real problems like how no one has jobs. Amurrca!
This is a good lesson in picking your battles. Though maybe distasteful, the guy’s quote isn’t exactly hate speech. Moreover, if the muslim owner of a Halal Chicken joint said the same thing, the liberals up in arms over this wouldn’t blink.
Gays should be allowed to marry and corporations should be allowed to oppose it.
^^ Absolutely. Unfortunately most of America only agrees with one half of that simple, wise statement.
gays should be allowed to marry corporations
Instead of “Spell-Chickin” it’d be “Grammar Chickin”
i was actually at a chick-fil-a near philly yesterday and had no idea why it was so crowded – me and my friend were like WTF – there were cops directing traffic it was so crowded.
i must say, that chicken is delicious – mmm
“I vote with my dollars, they’re called dollar votes.”
I love the part you wrote. Fucking hilarious! I live this “Plumpest chicken-scarfing asses this side of an audience for the Queens of Comedy.” And the caption under the nuns. “Funnel some of the Lord Baby Jesus’s hot gravy up into our tightly sealed buttholes?” Brilliant and surprisingly… moving.
I barely made it through the quotes though. As you say, they are just as self-righteous as those on the left, and I’ve read way too many of their opinions.
Again Brilliant!
Thanks for the link Kyria. What do you expect from the worst confusingly named restaurant ever?
I love how the big fella right in the centre of the picture above is wearing a “Krispy Kreme” T shirt.
This has it all – old time religion, obesity, fast food, banality, grotesque mangling of the English and French languages. This is American Kulturkampf at its finest. When they study the decline of the American Empire this will be cited as a seminal moment.
I think there’s plenty of ignorance on both sides, but I admit I found the Krispy Kreme t-shirt especially amusing, as well. We’re all idiots on some level, but good lord, these people really are a special kind of dumb.
[...] We have a quote of the day winner today from Street Carnage: [...]
the same way we look back at jim crow laws and segregation we will look at this whole fucking embarrassing outlook. fucking disgusting
Hilarious.
Kyria, you’re a braver person than I am for sifting through all the Facebook stuff.. but for doing that for our entertainment, I thank you.
Fuck Chick-fil-a and Fuck Religion.
In virtually every culture, marriage is an institution involving a public commitment between a man and a woman. The complementary nature of men and women points to the unique purpose of marriage: to bear and raise children. One can recognize this fact and so conclude that “same-sex marriage” is an oxymoron—without being “anti-gay.”
I’m all for gay marriage. Hell, marry your dog if you want. But when will gays quit buying gas? Last time I checked, Iran and Saudi Arabia (and almost all those other tyrannical Middle East despots producing oil) put homosexuals to death. If you’re gonna bitch, be consistent.
WHAT? A business that closes on sundays because they’re so religious came out in favour of traditional marriage?!?!? In the south??!?! Stop the fucking presses.
It’s funny to watch the web explode with angry lefties over this.
newlibertarian , you’re dead on. I’d add that most of the shit people buy today is probably made by somebody in less than ideal working conditions in a shitty country. And don’t get me started on all my progressive friends that smoke. Pretty sure big tobacco has greased a coupla GOP candidates here and there.
All the tasty protein in the world wouldn’t help the idiots on either side of this “issue.” Great post.
Rebecca Moss sounds like she would make a great wife, I mean helpmate. “Hey honey, God made you my helpmate, so fix me a sandwich!”
somebody say penisnigger?
