National Protest of Chick-Fil-A’s Anti-Gay Stance Organized

(GayWebSource.com) Dallas, TX  – August 2, 2012 –  Hundreds of same-sex couples are planning to voice their displeasure with fast food chain Chick-Fil-A on National Same-Sex Kiss Day on August 3^rd. At 8pm in Chick-Fil-As across the country, same-sex couples have pledged to come and publically embrace in an effort to protest the actions of Chick-Fil-A.   Just hours after being created, the facebook event had participants from across the country. Event Creator Carly McGehee created the event in response to the recent actions of Chick-Fil-A.

A recent interview with Company President Dan Cathy revealed that Chick-Fil-A is “guilty as charged” of the accusations of preference of sexual orientation. The interview resulted in public backlash that led a company statement saying that their policy is to treat everyone with “honor, dignity, and respect” regardless of sexual orientation. McGehee was not convinced.

“The event is intended to show Chick-Fil-A how many people their donations and decisions are affecting, not to disturb business” said McGehee. Chick-Fil-A’s promise to leave the same-sex marriage debate to the government and political arena “isn’t enough,” she continued. “They are still donating millions of dollars to anti-same-sex marriage institutions and that is unacceptable.” Other LGBT rights groups have released statements declaring that these donations topped $5 million in from 2003 to 2010.
