Title: Kiss Mor Chiks: Gay Rights Activists Protest Chick-Fil-A With ‘Kiss In’

Chick-fil-A remains at the center of a culture war with marriage equality supporters planning to converge onto the fast-food restaurants Friday and kiss fellow demonstrators.

The event comes two days after supporters of the chain’s president Dan Cathy’s stance on gay marriage attracted thousands, many of them conservative Christians, to restaurants, resulting in record-setting sales. Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee issued the call to action at the company’s more than 1,600 locations. In a statement, Chick-fil-A executive vice president of marketing Steve Robinson said:

We are very grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout of loyal Chick-fil-A customers on August 1 at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country. ... While we don’t release exact sales numbers, it was an unprecedented day.

Carly McGehee organized the National Same-Sex Kiss Day at Chick-fil-A to show “that members of LGBT community are a force to be reckoned with.

“We refuse to sit on the sidelines. We are here, we have a voice, and we will not be quieted. Secondly I hope it shows other anti-LGBT companies that as American citizens, we will no longer tolerate inequality and we can take direct action when we see fit,” McGehee said in a Q&A posted on the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Web site

GLAAD president Herndon Graddick, said in a statement, that Cathy “should meet and get to know the people that he’s speaking out against - the people who are harmed by his company’s multi-million dollar donations to anti-gay hate groups working to hurt everyday LGBT Americans and break apart loving families.”

Both demonstrations are in response to comments Cathy made to the Baptist Press about backing the “the biblical definition of a family” and in another interview, reiterating that he didn’t support same-sex marriage and that “we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’”

The Atlanta-based company first came under fire for its conservative stance on marriage in January of 2011 after news broke that an outlet in Pennsylvania sponsored a marriage seminar given by an openly anti-gay group.

Fallout from the ensuing controversy included a decision by Northeastern University students in February to cancel plans to bring the eatery to campus.

Further, a report published by gay rights advocacy group Equality Matters this summer says the company donated more than $3 million to Christian groups opposed to homosexuality between 2003 and 2009, and nearly $2 million more in 2010.

No such thing as a gay christian group. Fake ones yes.

If I am at Chick Filet and I see queers carrying on like that I will spit a big loogie in their face.

Fags who get aids willingly. Shouldn't get any aids treatment that is paid for by taxpayers. They should just be left to their own means.

I went to the one on North Fairfield today, no gays in sight but the place was packed again. There was one cop, but he was just standing there looking bored drinking a soda... Guess the gays didn't want to mess with one of Beavercreeks finest.... LOL.... Also drove by the one on Miller Lane on my way back into town and it looked pretty busy too..
