Outraged Conservative Christians Claim Chick-fil-A 'Goes Gay'

[TexasTowelie]

A conservative Christian has created a Change.org petition demanding Chick-fil-A explain why it is sponsoring Level Ground, an organization that hosts an annual LGBT Christian film festival.

"Per our research and findings, Chick-fil-A is a sponsor of 'On Level Ground' ... which is 'a movement' that 'creates space for dialogue about faith, gender, and sexuality through the arts,'" the petition reads.

And it attacks the Level Ground's sponsors, claiming they "promote an agenda which is contrary to Chick-fil-A's corporate stance on Christian values regarding marriage and stewardship."

"In light of these findings, we ask that Chick-fil-A issues an official response regarding this sponsorship, along with any statement your team feels is necessary to clarify Chick-fil-A's corporate stance regarding previously stated Christian values on marriage and stewardship."

1. Chick-fil-A has the best

Fast food breakfast. I was surprised at how busy their location in NYC was a few weeks ago. Line out the door and down the sidewalk.

2. Corporate stance?

I thought it was just an opinion by the head honcho.

3. The "conservative christians" are incredibly intolerant people

It kind of goes against what the guy they claim to represent used to stand for.

4. It makes you wish for a well-placed lightning strike from above.
