Sophia Bush has declared that Chick-fil-A's anti-gay stance is an insult to god.
The fast food chain sparked controversy last month when its president Dan Cathy expressed his opposition to same sex marriage.
Cathy's comments have led to protests by marriage equality advocates as well as demonstrations of support by some conservative groups.
Bush weighed in on the controversy over the weekend, telling E! News that Chick-fil-A's stance against gay marriage should not be tolerated.
"Here's my issue - it shocks me how many people come to their defense, first of all. I'm sorry, it's 2012, if you really think it's okay to deny anybody their basic human right of loving who they choose to love, you can go f**k yourself, honestly. And you can print that, because I'm done. I am so over it," Bush declared.
She went on to express her belief that those of true religious faith should support any loving couple sharing their lives together.
"Be a kind person... The reason I take issue with it is, especially in America, we are told that this is the place - give us your tired, give us your hungry, give us your poor - where anybody of any race, of any belief system, can come and have a shot at the American Dream," she explained.
Bush continued: "Have a shot at equality. Oh wait, unless your skin is a certain color, unless you have a certain sexual preference. That's not what it says on the Statue of Liberty. We are all supposed to be equal here.
"When you use God as an excuse to hate people and you use God as an excuse to cut people down, first of all, I think it's insulting to God. And second of all, you're missing the point.
"Because we're not talking about chicken. We're talking about the fact that every kid who reads that article, every kid who hears that said, every kid who sees a bunch of people wearing confederate flags and 'God Hates F*gs' T-shirts, showing up at Chick-fil-A and eating chicken nuggets, you're telling those kids that they don't matter. And that they're less important than other kids in this country."
She concluded: "My God loves everybody, and if yours doesn't, that's your prerogative, but don't tell me how to live my life and don't tell my best friends that you're going to take away their rights.
"Because I will march you into the ground. I will argue you into the ground. I will petition you into the ground. I will not sleep, I will not stop, and neither will so many people in this country and in this world. It's not right."
The Office's Ed Helms recently vowed to boycott Chick-fil-A as long as the company keeps up its anti-gay marriage stance.
Jane Lynch also slated the fast food chain at the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr, which aired over the weekend.

Sophie, I really don’t give a frog’s fat a$$ who somebody loves, whatever gets you through the night......but don’t tell me that it should be on equal footing with heterosexuality.
See my tagline.
Sophia’s Choice.
Wow, she looks nothing like that today. That’s what a lifetime of bitter hate does to your face.
“Sexy, but dumber than a box of rocks.”
Not really, a box of rocks has enough sense to not say anything.

Yeah, um, sorry about that.
What "rights" are the "LGBT" denied?
I don’t recall any such “God hates” T-shirts seriously reported during CFA appreciation day. Did I miss something? Or did the stoopid Phelps clan invade that event somewhere?
Oh really? Here’s what God has to say about it:
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Who the hell is this idiot?
>>>That’s not what it says on the Statue of Liberty. We are all supposed to be equal here.>>>
So, if we’re all equal here, then we all have the right to our opinion, even the owner of Chick-fil-A.
The math doesn’t add up. Helen Thomas would have only been 11 going on 12 in 1932, not a college age.
HT’s early twenties would have been in the 1940’s, and that portrait has more of a 1920’s look to it.
And as for what bitterness & hatred inside can do to the outside, just look, or try to, at the aftermath of HT.
My grandmother lived into her nineties but you could look at a photo of her in her teens and instantly recognize the elderly lady as the same person. That’s evidence of a goodly nature and inner beauty for sure.
Sophia Anna Bush (born about July 8, 1982, if you can believe her agent) is an American actress, director, and spokesperson. She starred in a television series where she portrayed a character. Bush is additionally known for her film portrayals in a minor motion picture (2006), another minor motion pictures (2007), and another minor motion picture (2008).
God hates the reprobate (Romans 1:18-32) and His wrath abides on them (John 3:36). He will send them to hell and ultimately cast them in the lake of fire for all eternity (Revelation 20:14,15). He's not to be trifled with. He died to attone for sin, but only faith in Him and His finished work will satisfy Him (Ephesian 2:8,9), not your filthy rags self-righteouness (Titus 1:16,16), Sophia Bush.
March, argue, and petition all you want, Sophie. The CFA dustup has shown that there are a lot more of us than you. And if you can march, argue, and petition, so can we.
See you in the trenches, biotch.
Evil is so much more palatible when it is presented by a pretty face.
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad!
