Is Your Chicken Sandwich Homophobic?

Chick-Fil-AIt is if it comes from Chick-Fil-A.  Why?  Well, as Stephen Davis, a student at Auburn University explains it, Chick-Fil-A is a supporter of Focus on the Family.  Focus on the Family is the organization in Colorado run by Rev. James Dobson, which (among other anti-LGBT things) openly works to try and defeat equal rights measures around the country, and sponsors an ex-gay ministry program, Love Won Out.

Rev. James Dobson has said some pretty crazy things over the years when it comes to the issue of LGBT rights and homosexuality, so it's unclear why Chick-Fil-A would hold up such an organization.  Among the comments Dobson (and Focus on the Family) has made:

Chick-Fil-A supports an organization that equates gay marriage and homosexuality to the destruction of World War II.  Wow, that's almost as bad as Domino's Pizza and its crazy founder.

Maybe it's time to find a less homophobic chicken sandwich to eat.
