Who Knew Bigotry had a Taste?

And that taste is greasy fried chicken served on a buttered bun with a pickle.  Perhaps it's the special way they cut their fries, or the oil they're cooked in.  Who knows? 

Either way, Chick Fil-A is a company that espouses Christian values and opposes gay marriage.  Predictably, the controversial, but fairly innocuous statement by their CEO hasn't stopped right wing media from making them the latest fake martyr.  Cynical opportunists, excuse me, good Christians like Mike Huckabee and princess dingbat (pictured below) have come out to support heterosexual fast food.

Chick Fil-A's decision makes as much sense as brushing your teeth with a mouthful of Oreos.  They are a business.  They exist to sell chicken.  Telling 10% of the population to piss off (not to mention straight people who support equality for the LGBT community) makes lousy business sense.  They're certainly free to do it, while I'm free to take my business elsewhere.

Also don't forget August 1st is Huckabee's "Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day".  Your local franchise should be easy to find: just look for the near empty building ringed with protesters.
