The Chick-Fil-A national gay kiss-in takes place today. Towleroad quotes well-known activist and blogger Pam Spaulding: IMHO, I’m not keen on this as an effective protest tool — it’s not about our right to love (ostensibly why gay couples will be there kissing), it’s about Chick-fil-As record of anti-gay discrimination and funding of groups that want us DEAD, endorse “ex-gay” …

After an Arizona man filmed himself berating a drive-thru employee of a Scottsdale-area Chick-Fil-A, his clip went viral on anti-gay sites, prompting internet sleuths identify the man and track down his biotech employer who fired their CFO on the spot. From the company’s press release: Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam …

“Chick-fil-a has remained faithful to the family values on which it was founded. We are bewildered by those who would take offense at your values and would block the expansion of your business into their communities. We welcome Chick-fil-A’s investment in our districts. The example of quality, hard work, and charity demonstrated by Chick-fil-A is one that others who, when …

“Free speech means you can generally say whatever you want without being carted off to prison or otherwise punished by law. But it doesn’t guarantee that there won’t be any repercussions! You can run through the street yelling ‘Blacks shouldn’t be allowed to get married,’ but that doesn’t protect you from people boycotting your store and using their free speech …

“True individual freedom includes allowing consenting adults to marry the partners they choose, regardless of gender. To those for whom same-sex marriage is personally objectionable, their free choice is simple: Don’t enter into one. But don’t impede the freedom of others to do so. As long as Chick-fil-A operates within the boundaries of the law, municipalities and institutions should leave …

News outlets are dying to know just how much business Chick-Fil-A did yesterday and they are over it. UPDATE: Chick-Fil-A may not want to talk to the media but Good As You points out that their CEO sure didn’t mind bragging to megachurch Pastor Rick Warren. I see that Warren has since deleted the below tweet.

A laughably bad headline from Virginia’s 9NewsNow make it seem like Loudoun County Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio is now running the drive-thru at the local Chick-Fil-A. Notice the Romney supporters who just happened to be there to be in the shot with Delgaudio.(Tipped by JMG readers Blair and James)

After several North Carolina Wendy’s franchises posted the above signs in support of Chick-Fil-A, Wendy’s corporate office called the owner of those stores on the carpet and forced him to remove the messages. Wendy’s then tweeted the situation to several media outlets.But that “ALL customers” bit was leaped upon by God’s Gentle People, spurred on by douchenozzle right wing commentator …

NOM is crowing about the lines at Chick-Fil-A today, which by all accounts are truly massive. Some shopping malls have had to hire traffic cops to control the drive-thru business. Up in Maine, which has no franchises, the local anti-gay hate group is actually busing people into the next state. In the clip below its narrator accosts patrons to ask …

GLAAD has launched a fundraising drive in which they ask for amounts in multiples of $6.50, the price of a Chick-Fil-A meal. The morning GLAAD spokesman and Good As You blogger Jeremy Hooper appeared on CNN to talk about what Dan Cathy really said and what this brouhaha is actually all about. I’ll have that clip shortly.
