ATLANTA — Food has always been a complex issue in the South, where the country’s most distinct culinary region often eats its supper against a backdrop of race and religion.

So for a Southerner like Justin Breen, whether or not to go to Chick-fil-A is not as simple as choosing sides in a national cultural war that has pitted people who support the chain’s biblical position on homosexuality against those who do not.

For Mr. Breen, a young motion graphic designer with many tattoos, a baseball cap and a best friend in the gay pornography business, the chain’s chicken sandwiches and waffle fries transcend all the protests and political symbolism that have played out this week.

What???? What in the world is complex about meat and two veggies, perhaps some bread and sweet ice tea?

Ain't no backdrop of "race and religion" at my home. You're hungry, you eat. Okay, you eat AFTER you say a prayer because God provided the food (and also if you tasted my mama's cooking, sometimes it needed blessing). But how in the WORLD does race come into it?

Sheesh. D-yankees!

Who writes this drivel....?

Kim Severeson: Severson, who is openly gay, served as vice-president of the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association. She has written about the economic and cultural impact of being a lesbian without the benefits of legal marriage.

You can count on the NYT to know how to get ahold of a gay porno producer. Probably a personal contact.

Truer than you may think. It is no coincidence that they find the people they do to profile.
