The Berenstain family wrote on its web site that it did not know about the controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A and gay marriage until July 25.

Comments by the CEO of the fast food chain Chick-fil-A opposing same-sex marriage continued to reverberate for a second week, drawing the beloved children’s book figures the Berenstain Bears into the controversy.

I have loved Chick-Fil-A for 30 years, since it 1st appeared in my cousins’ local mall.

They should be supported exactly because they have fantastic food and fantastic service - absolutely unparalleled in “fast food”.

Now, I will be sure to support them every week because they are being attacked.

Berenstain Bears

I always thought they were kind of PC and homo, frankly.

Everyone remember that tomorrow 1 August is Chick Fil A Day where we all go and eat a meal if you can. It is important to support companies that are being attacked by a witch hunt. Can we put some sort of something on Free Republic letting everyone know?

“We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.”

Really??

This is the statement that has caused all those panties to get wadded up?? seriously??

What is controversial about this?

“Closest #ChickFilA to San Francisco is 40 miles away & I strongly recommend that they not try to come any closer.”

Eeew! I'll bet that's mutual, Mr. Gay Ranchero.

In lieu of standing in line tomorrow at our local Chick Fil A, I will be going on Thursday to buy $100 of gift certificates.

I am on the Board of Directors of a conservative Christian organization with many volunteers. We will be able to use the gift certificates as awards for those volunteers.

I am also active in our local Tea Party. I plan to donate some certificates to the Tea Party as well.

These are a couple of additional ideas on how to support Chick Fil A and support conservative Christian values.

It is disgusting that these “children’s outfits” would openly support something so totally inappropriate to “parade” in front of children.

But I’m not surprised - as a mother of a toddler it is disgusting how these kids’ programs and movies try to shove PC down their throats, indoctrinating them. Mostly it’s “you should speak Spanish!!!” and “worship The Earth!”, but other PC fundamentals slip in there.

The Berenstain Bears are a bunch of homos.

And their cartoons suck too.

IIRC the creators of the Berenstain Bears were big liberals.

Funny thing is, we plan on eating at the newest 1 next to my husband’s work after their “Family Day” tomorrow. So it’s a plan already.

(Scarily, I just realized his work - which includes “LGBT” BS - might stage some sort of protest against CFA, even if it’s just a public statement.)

““Lisa Henson, our CEO, is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we receive from Chick-fil-A to (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).””

That was a horrible think for the Sodomite Muppet persons to do to the Good Christians of Chick-fil-A.

That payment from the Henson Company to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation must be stopped!

The Berenstain family must be secular Jews and are therefore liberals.

>>> Chick-fil-A replaced the Muppet toys with Berenstain Bears books, but the Berenstain family doesn’t appear thrilled to be associated with Chick-fil-A either.

Talk about clueless, backhanded, ungraciousness....yep, only Libs are like that.

I did the early voting in Tx and did the early eating at CFA today. It was packed at lunchtime—tomorrow will be off the charts.
