- Chick-fil-A is opening in Toronto, and many Canadians aren't too pleased about it.
- The fast-food chain has a long and contentious relationship with the LGBTQ community, and it has a reputation for being a homophobic institution.
- Angry consumers are boycotting the company on social media, saying that it has "no place" in Canada and that it "should stay out."

Look, what I object to is the “in your face” these folks are always trying to pull off.
Calm down. Act like other adults.
I could care less if they are around if they respect other people’s space.

When this happened in the US, their sales skyrocketed..... Because it's safe to go into Chik-fil-A without seeing a freakshow! That's why!

In Toronto they could change their name to Chick Fellatio or would they be accused of, “tea-bagging”?
They do have good tea!

Sounds like Chick-fil-A will have a better class of customer. They already do. Compare the crowd, and employees, at a Chick-file-A with that of a McDonalds.
The differences are startling.

Spread the word that they have a lower age of consent, so American gays would emigrate.

So far the lure of great fried chicken and great service has won over the lure of supporting LGBT folks.
The LGBT crowd needs to find a fight they can win.

I tried to eat at a Chick fil a in Grand Rapids yesterday - the parking lot was full - not an open spot. The line was past the door out to the sidewalk. I guess the protests are working.

I’ve been to the ones in downtown Chicago. For all the screeching from Harm Emanuel, Chicago’s Chick-Fil-As are doing quite well. I even see kids from the downtown colleges there.
