‘Hate Chicken’: D.C. Mayor Slams Chick-fil-A for Alleged ‘Bigotry’ Over Gay Marriage Stance (& Billy Graham Supports the Company!)

Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray is joining the chorus of leftists opposed to Chick-fil-A, a Christian-owned, fast-food restaurant chain. Like other political leaders, Gray has now publicly proclaimed that he will not support the company’s expansion into the city after Dan Cathy, president of Chick-fil-A, publicly opposed same-sex marriage earlier this month.

As The Associated Press notes, Gray’s comments — which were made on Twitter — mirror previous statements made by the mayors of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. On Saturday, the Democrat took to the social media platform to lambaste the company, claiming that Chick-fil-A advocates “bigotry” and that he “would not support #hatechicken.”

See some of his controversial tweets, below:

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray Slams Chick fil A on Twitter Over Gay Marriage Stance

While he opposes the company’s stance, he said in his tweets that he cannot bar or ban them from the area. Currently, the company has no plans to create new locations in Washington, D.C., and it has only two locations — one food truck and another store on the campus of The Catholic University.

In contrast to Gray and his leftist compatriots, Republicans, like Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum, have been vocal about their support for the fast-food chain. Among the most intriguing backers has been evangelical leader Bill Graham. On Thursday, he issued the following statement:

“I want to express my support for my good friends Truett Cathy and his son Dan Cathy, and for their strong stand for the Christian faith. I’ve known their family for many years and have watched them grow Chick-fil-A into one of the best businesses in America while never compromising their values. Chick-fil-A serves each of its customers with excellence, and treats everyone like a neighbor. It’s easy to see why Chick-fil-A has become so popular across America.

Each generation faces different issues and challenges, but our standard must always be measured by God’s word. I appreciate the Cathy family‘s public support for God’s definition of marriage.

I also appreciate Governor Mike Huckabee’s leadership and for encouraging Americans to support Chick-fil-A on August 1. As the son of a dairy farmer who milked many a cow, I plan to “Eat Mor Chikin” and show my support by visiting Chick-fil-A next Wednesday.

Thus, it seems the nation is divided: To Chick-fil-A or not to Chick-fil-A — that is the question.

      I’ve hated those Chick-fil-A guys ever since they changed the name of the Peach Bowl. It wasn’t enough for them to stick their name in front of the real name like all corporate sponsors do, they had to eliminate the original name entirely. I guess they figured we’re all so stupid we might assume they stuck peaches in their chicken sandwiches.

      would have become like Sodom ,and would have been made like Gomorrah.(Romans 9:29-citing Isaiah1:9)But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners before the Lord.(Genesis 13:13) But Abram (Abraham) said to the King of Sodom,I have raised my hand to the Lord God Most High, the possessor of Heaven and Earth, that I will take nothing that is yours lest you should say I have made Abram rich.( Genesis 14:22-23) But I say to you ,That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for you.” Matthew 11:24) the enemy would have us all be as Sodom or like unto Gomorrah. Yet the Lord of Hosts has preserved to us a very small remnant. The enemy changes the Law to protect the reprobate .We know there is no temptation known to man but that the Lord has provided a way out for the righteous. We have the Bible and they shall not escape the judgement.

But to act like they are now have more rights because they have the support of a worthless president is beyond comprehension. If someone tells me that he or she’s against gay marriage because of their own personal beliefs, then I respect that. The same way if someone tells me that they support gay marriage. This matter should be decided by the highest court once and for all. We go to the polls to choose the person who’s going lead our country, and many states have done just that regarding this very sensitive issue, and still the matter have not been settled.

I’m beginning to believe that people are just animals. Ever notice how animals in the wild don’t associate with different animals? They only eat other animals. They all run in packs of the same species. People are the same. Liberals only associate with liberals, conservatives the same, blacks hang with blacks, whites with whites. Like animals, maybe we were not meant to mingle with the other packs. Maybe there is a reason that all the different species of people come from separate continents. The last 4 years has made me wonder about this. Thanks Obama, you’re a real separator.

      Good for you, RS9! And……they won’t back down. The first issue came up a year ago when a local Chick-Fil-A provided chicken nuggets for a pro-traditional marriage conference. Mr. Cathy didn’t back down then and has taken a year to prepare the franchise owners for the stance he recently took. I have no doubt he anticipated the reaction of the haters. Although, I am quite sure Mr. Cathy never could have expected the media storm would kill his Corporate PR Director.

      But, hey, Chik-fil-A won’t have to worry about their store in D.C. being hit by crime either.

      Sadly, it seems like this is going to devolve into a system where the pro-gays shop only at the following stores and the pro-traditional marriage people only shop from this list. But apparently the gays want to control the economy by only allowing the businesses they approve of to exist.

The majority of Americans quietly assess and watch and then support whatever company the media and left are pounding on at the moment. Like free advertising. Middle class Americans get home from a hard day at work. Watch or read the news and say. Oh yea, Chick-Fil-A. We should eat there next time we go out. I know I would if there were any in my state.

They are not even refusing to do business with gays, just voicing their opinion on it. This is cause to run them out of town. This is why Christians oppose gay marriage.

    How many people would be left in the US military and law enforcment agencies if you fired everyone who did not renounce belief in the Bible? Maybe you will find yourself living under Sharia Law, and then what will happen to the activists, including the mayors of Chicago, Boston, and Washington D.C.?

    I went to Chick-Fil-A today and the drive thru lines were twice as long as normal. They had to have employees taking orders in the parking lot. The service was perfect the food was perfect and the lines were twice as fast as normal lines, and 5 times faster than McDonalds.

    The leftist are making this Fast Food Restaurant’s some serious money this month. What a pathetic sack of leftist‘s these Mayor’s are… The Mayor’s acted stupidly…..you didn’t build that business.. your cooking all that Chicken because of us.. the leftist.. said Hussein Oblamer.

      The chuch spoke out on the subject but did not spend any money on the fight in CA. Only members that wanted to do so suported traditional marraige with donations to various organizations opposing the homosexual attemt to highjack and change the meaning of another word.

      Than do not contribute millions to hate groups.

      the Mormon church spent in CA to fight civil right for gay Americans?

      I hope I am not the only one who finds comments more entertaining than the articles. But this is to @Dora, she (I’m assuming) made a comment about the Mormon church donating millions of dollars to groups opposing gay marriage in California. I do not like ignorant statements. The LDS Church did not do this, a Church cannot take sides in political issues unless it wants to lose its tax exempt status. They did encourage members to contribute both time and money in an effort to maintain the Biblical definition of marriage. And it has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with believing that God has a set of values that He wants all of His children to abide by. Since when has it become hateful to stand up for what you believe in?

    And we are going to fix this through the ballot box? Really? Are you sure?

    All these politicians, regardless of their stance, attaching themselves to a corporate logo is so fitting.

      Actually, one organization is against gay marriage, but so are the voting public in over thirty states. One other organization assists those who claim to have been formally gay, and have converted.
