Democrats Fueled By ‘Anti-gay’ Chick-fil-A During Sit-in

When the House Democrats occupied the floor of that august body Wednesday and Thursday in the wake of an anti-gay hate crime, they apparently were supporting anti-gay chicken sandwiches.

According to footage caught by TMZ, Democrats accepted a massive shipment of Chick-fil-A just outside the Capitol. “Is this all for us?” said one woman, apparently a staffer, as she pushed one of two loaded carts onto the pavement.

Had the food been KFC, Boston Market, or even a non-chicken outlet like PapaJohn’s or Subway, nobody’s eyes would be raised. Bu this is Chick-fil-A, prompting the TMZ video page to title the clip “Gun Control Protest Fueled by Ironic Takeout.”

Chick-fil-A has been the target of liberal activists for years over comments made by founder Dan Cathy about gay marriage and over the company’s contributions to social-conservative organizations such as Focus on the Family.

It also maintains a chain-wide policy of closing on Sundays, a form of Christian Sabbath observance that once was normal for businesses.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called for a boycott of the “anti-gay” chain this spring as it ventured into the city. The Southern Poverty Law Center also has taken aim at Chick-fil-A and gay activists have tried to stop the franchise from opening stores on college campuses. The hashtag “#ChickFilhAte” is common on Twitter.
