I almost never frequent Chick-Fil-A but I did today and in Charleston (West Ashley), South Carolina there would not have been a bigger crowd if they were giving away food. I was astounded. It's somewhat ironic that those who begged and pleaded for "tolerance" for so long are now intolerant of the views of others. I support Chick-Fil-A and I support freedom of speech, and the tolerance of those with whom I disagree. I would support and patronize gay owned businesses but apparently tolerance is a one way street. At least it seems to be in this case.

Americans Turn Out in Droves to Support Chick-Fil-A

Americans have turned out all over the country today to stand in support of Chick-Fil-A. A minor controversy broke out weeks ago when the chicken fast-food chain's CEO, Dan Cathy, made public comments to a reporter about his financial donations to pro-family groups.

In response, liberal lawmakers around the country expressed outrage. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino declared that Chick-Fil-A wasn't welcome in his town, and both Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a local Chicago Alderman said they'd work to block any proposed restaurants being built in their jurisdiction despite the obvious violation of the First Amendment that implies.
