After Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy made public remarks that the chain does not support gay marriage, Sara McNamara put down her last Chick-fil-A sandwich and got to work.
"I started an online petition to prevent a second Chick Fil A from coming to the College of Charleston campus. It's a slap in the face," said McNamara, a lesbian who says she's appalled by Cathy's words.
Plans are already in the works to bring a second Chick Fil A to campus in Berry Residence Hall. A C of C spokesperson told Live 5 News construction is already under way and it will open in the fall.
McNamara has already gathered 319 signatures. The Facebook group titled "College of Charleston students and friends against homophobic Chick Fil A" already has over 700 members. She plans to present the petition to College of Charleston leaders after school starts.
Some students said they might not agree with Cathy's statement, but they don't see it as a good enough reason to keep it off campus.
"Their opinion on gay marriage has nothing to do with making my food," said an incoming freshmen.
Another man said the whole thing has been blown out of proportion, and Cathy should use this as a learning experience.
"It's already negatively affecting his business. It was a dumb move on his part. A very bad P. R. move."
The college said they are waiting to get the petition in their hands before making a decision.
“Poor little doofus” should have paid attention in math class. 2% of the population doesn’t have enough clout to hurt CfA’s bottom line. In fact, the screwball attempted buycott hasresulted in a business BOOM for CfA.
The lily-livered administration of the college may well cave and allow the fairy population on campus to wag the dog, but who REALLY expects to get wisdom and propriety from college admin. THESE days?
There's a potentially very funny joke about spanking lesbians in there somewhere.
Crush dissent, eh, Sara? But hey little chicky, how far are you willing to go? You think those nasty Christians are just going to leave? Oh no. You're going to have to do the nasty, get the camps going, fire up them crematoriums.
Because if you don't, they're going to keep disagreeing with you, Sara! How CAN you allow that? So repeat after me, like the good little Nazi you are: "Crush, Kill, Destroy - for Peace, Tolerance and Love!"
so a couple of activists cause a fuss, and the press assumes it is “all students”...figures.
If the Hitler Youth went off to University instead of being sent to the Western Front, they would be obviously be attending the College of Charleston.
At least they're not protesting for something that would do them any good, like the government getting out of the way so they'll have jobs after they graduate. I'm glad that's no longer a problem. /sarcasm
“It’s already negatively affecting his business.”
“Poor little doofus.”
Yes he is. His comment seems to be based on 700 non-Chick-fil-A eaters in his little college campus world.
McNamara is another mean spirited liberal.
This is insane. I am a student at CofC and this makes no sense. Our school is over 10,000 people and over 90 percent of the people are for another chick fil a. It’s a food chain, and people need to stop making such a huge deal of this and grow up
You or some friends need to get a petition going in support. Here’s a chant for you:
We don’t care if your gay
we want our Chick-Fil-A.
