Anyone else remember the Great Chick-fil-A War of 2012? Most of the action took place in August that year: we’re not going to bother linking to the posts, but Twitchy covered boycotts, bomb threats, kiss-ins, vandalism, celebrity hot-takes, a lot of Sarah Palin, and a shooting at the Family Research Council by a man who was carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in a bag. Looking back at our archives, that was just the first two weeks of August.
Who wants to relive it all? HuffPost, that’s who.

If you care about queer people ― or you yourself are queer ― you have absolutely no business eating at Chick-fil-A. Ever.
It’s really that straightforward.https://t.co/Y5tvFezX8H

It really isn’t that straightforward. But let’s just cut to the chase: if you want to eat at Chick-fil-A, eat at Chick-fil-A.
Why?
They don't discriminate against LGBT employees.
They don't discriminate against LGBT customers.

I'll be the member of the LGBT community that doesn't go batshit crazy over a chicken sandwich. It's ok to eat Chick-fil-a. https://t.co/O5AkpJD6ZJ

There's literally no proof, this "article" doesn't give any evidence. Just because an organization is Christian, and said beliefs are based around heterosexuality, doesn't make it anti-LGBT. What happened to accepting all people no matter thier beliefs and sexual preference? https://t.co/wxVPvLPsZr
