My take on the Chik-Fil-A situation.

You don't directly support gay rights by boycotting but you do directly support anti-gay groups by eating there.

True....you do that, AND you vote. If you're not registered, or haven't checked your voter registration, you do that first.

The reason why you are struggling with this one, is because grammatically your meme doesn't make sense.

You cannot 'simply' support gay rights. You either do or you don't.

If you do, there are many ways to manifest that support. Boycotting establishments is one thing you can do.

It's not the only thing you have to do.

Sorry to be tedious, but your joke isn't funny because it doesn't make sense. Also, it implies that boycotting chick fil a is pointless, which is counterproductive to the cause of gay rights.

That's true, good thing nobody is doing that. The boycott is against an anti-gay group.

Every little bit helps.

I seem to recall an election that came down to Florida and a few votes a few years back.

even if boycotting changes nothing, it isn't always about affecting change. for some, it's a much more personal choice about not wishing to contribute, regardless of the non-contribution will affect anything at all.

at least gays have supporters in quantity. this situation would be different if the gays were instead, atheists

When discussing this with other people, I will be the first to say that the owners of a company have the right to do whatever they want with that company within the boundaries of the law, no matter how stupid those decisions may seem to anyone else.

Also, I am very quick to point out that our American media has not often proven itself to be trustworthy, regardless of which side of the political fence you fall on.

And finally, I would take a moment to remind people that while we may not agree with Chick-Fil-A's views on marriage and family, it is a fast food chain. There are many other men and women who share this point of view sitting in Congress and the House of Representatives, governing the way our nation is run. I think those people deserve a little more attention than a fast food chain.

One does not simply continue to eat hateful chicken after realizing they are gay.

CFA doesn't just oppose gay marriage; they helped fund an organization called (correct me if I'm wrong) Exodus Earth that made being gay punishable by death in Uganda. Some of the money you spend there goes toward that group. That's why people are boycotting it; not because they think that people should be more open-minded with their opinions. People don't want their money going to an organization responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

Downvoted, because A.) this isn't a rage comic, B.) saw this in r/atheism a few days ago

Should we stop buying gas, as well? Because a lot of money made on oil goes to countries that imprison and execute homosexuals.

I support equal rights for everyone. Just don't see how not eating chicken is an acceptable political protest.
