Headline Of The Day

As we know, Chick-Fil-A is preparing a "massive" launch of outlets in NYC. The right-wing New York Post has found a handful of gays who say they can't wait to eat there.
“I have a healthy fear of the gay mafia,” says William, a gay 26-year-old digital strategist living in Hell’s Kitchen, who asked that his last name not be used due to anxiety over backlash over his choice. “But the crispy chicken is orgasmic. This sounds terrible because it’s fast food, but it’s the most tender chicken I’ve ever had.” William points out that the LGBT community can be rife with hypocrisy. Many bandwagoners on the Anti-Chick-fil-A Express gleefully shop at companies that have conservative execs at the helm — they just haven’t gotten the media coverage (or been stupid enough to tweet their political beliefs). Known past offenders who have suffered far less outrage include Urban Outfitters, Papa John’s Pizza, Exxon, the Salvation Army, Purina and Cracker Barrel. “It would shock you,” says William. “You wouldn’t be able to step out of your house if you boycotted them all.” The result is that some gay men feel ostracized by their own community, unable to express opinions different from the GLAAD-approved agenda.
