Are follow-up questions allowed? If so, I would like to know if the company did in fact initiate discussions with Alderman Moreno and with the gay student advocacy group that has opposed Chik-fil-A on campus. If so, I would like to know how those negotiations concluded. In particular, I would like to know why both these very motivated opponents suddenly agreed to back off their campaign against Chik-fil-A.

Through NUMEROUS articles in the mainstream press, the public has already heard one answer to those questions from the Pride team. What is the company's side?

“And gay activist groups — who initially applauded Chick-fil-A’s supposed move — now are criticizing the restaurant once again. “

Why can’t these faggots just have their own burger place? Oh wait, that would be BK.

Moreno’s bit of Orwellian doublespeak allowed him to save face for a day or two, for having to back down regarding the opening of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in his ward. Numerous individuals and organizations stepped forward to confirm that Dan Cathy and company had not changed a thing.

The company itself issued a press release yesterday stating that its corporate giving practices were being mischaracterized, now Dan Cathy himself, via the Baptist Press, issues another statement flatly contradicting and denying such claims, that their corporate giving policies had changed.

I myself wrote on FR that they had been under assault by progressives for decades due to their overtly Christian business philosophy, hadn’t caved yet and were not going to change course over this. Numerous others have written similarly here, from across the spectrum of Christianity.

What more do you want? Are you seeking a sign or something?

I can't answer for the gay activist group, but that Moreno guy probably backed down because the city of Chicago would have been exposed to a Federal restraint of trade if he didn't. The damages for that kind of case can be enormous.

I think the faggot lobby is using a disinformation campaign to mess with Chick-fil-A’s head. Chic-fil-A needs to state in crystal clear language that they will continue to support traditional marriage and families. They should take a lesson from the Boy Scouts, who stated clearly and with finality this summer that they do NOT want homosexual scout leaders taking little boys off into the woods. Period.

Why in the crap, did it take Dan Cathy some 3 days of media coverage and customer outrage to finally address Alderman’s specific claim? Like many people, my family and I have been both angry and heartsick over this.

Maybe it's because Chick-Fil-A is winning the issue, that the support for them is overwhelming and their opponents know it.

All the opposition has left is to get out front of it with the best lie they can come up with to salvage what they can.

Winning or losing, that's how progressives play, and they'll always act like they've won.
