I hear the Chicken Salad Sandwich is great.
I’ve only had the regular Chicken Breast Sandwich, but I’m going to treat myself to the Chicken Salad this week.
I’m THIS CLOSE to getting in the car right now. LOL

The only way they can get to 10% is if they include “people who once sat next to a gay person on the bus”.

"The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors,"Well, what can ya' expect from a bunch of faggots?
Sorry if that's too frank for anyone here.
(BTW, the Muppets suck too)

Great, a company that is supposed to provide entertainment and education for children is overly concerned about offending homosexuals.
I honestly don’t get why they have to speak out about it at all. Are kids now, supposed to follow their example? How do we tell kids about this? Will this be an episode on their show now?
Ridiculous. This show is obviously past its prime.

The Henson company, whose Muppet characters are hugely popular, said its Chief Executive Lisa Henson is a "strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD," the company said in their statement.Why did the Henson company feel the need to make a comment on this? Is GLAAD contacting companies and putting pressure on them?
Our kids are beyond the Muppets stage, so we wouldn't be buying any of their stuff anyway.
I hope another toy company will step up to take the Henson company's place with CFA.

[ Keep in mind ... the owner of Chick-Fil-A didn’t just start parading around his opinion. He was asked a question about it and he answered it. The media are the ones making this a big deal. ]
At there kiss in there should be a counter protest in a mocking way, they Tea Party counter protesters should hold a Mock trial of the Chik-fil-a CEO as being guilty of thought crimes...
But that would probably go right over the liberal heads in the crowd...

Henson Co. is owned by Disney and Disney has bent over forward and held their ankles for the whole gay agenda.

What is the amount of gays in the us?
The gay population in the USA is 3%
In San Franfreako it is 13%
To: SuziQ
Is GLAAD contacting companies and putting pressure on them? That's exactly what is happening. Unless a company is affirming and praising their "lifestyle", it is "anti-gay".

If I support traditional, real, natural marriage, then I lose the support of Kermit and Miss Piggy.
If I support traditional, real, natural marriage, then I retain the support of God.
God or Kermit, that is the question.

One the
other thread, I noted that the Muppets are now owned by pro-gay Disney, and the Jim Henson company now primarily is involved with creating animatronics and effects for the various movie studios (also gay-dominated to varying degrees).
I suspect they were told "If you don't sever your connections to Chik-fil-a, you can forget about any future work with any studio."

The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years LOL! Typical liberal hypocrisy.
They're all for 'diversity and inclusiveness' until someones opinion diverges from theirs, then they do everything in their power to exclude them in the future.

The irony is that most gay men (the majority of the homosexual world) are “foodies” who wouldn’t be caught DEAD inside of a fast food joint. Not a huge customer base loss there.
