    I don't see the big deal, really. It's mo more or less shocking than the 'IN GOD WE TRUST' on our money.

    Is it?

The owner of Chik-fil-a was pretty arrogant about his stance, so that is a big turn off, and I won't eat there.

    I don't patronize Chick-Fil-A. But, I don't go out of my way to overtly encourage other to avoid it either.

    You vote with your feet and wallet.

Doesn't matter, the only fast food I ever get locally is those nasty/tasty $0.99 Jack in the Box Tacos and The Habit.

Just something about that deep fried greasiness and the slice of real American cheese, the oh so wrong made oh so right.

    Holy Hannah! You're all COMPLETELY insane! Those things are the exact opposite of food! A 6-month-old taco shell with greasy cat food in it! I can barely stand to be in the same room breathing the fumes of those vile abominations, and here you guys are saying you LIKE them?

    Man, you think you know some people .....
