I never, ever thought I’d have to type the words “homophobic chicken sandwich,” but there we go. Chick-Fil-A – the chicken sandwich people (what’s not to love?) – have some extra special fine print on their flier that is being handed around to advertise their newest location on the quite-liberal NYU campus. I know what you’re thinking: chicken sandwiches and a job… this is a win-win situation, right? Take a look at the fine print on their “Help Wanted” flier, brought to us by our friends at the NYU Local tumblr.

So Sean Williams, you are for discrimination? By the way, the flag in your photo looks like it's touching the floor. That's a serious no-no. Not a very patriotic thing to do.
March 08, 2012 at 9:09 pm, Sean Williams said:
it NEVER touched the floor !
March 08, 2012 at 9:12 pm, Sean Williams said:
no, I'm don't agree with discrimination, just for one to stand up for their beliefs ! Obviously they stand up for what they believe and we need more of that in our country.
March 09, 2012 at 2:32 am, Catherine Marshall said:
there's a difference between standing up for what you believe in and discrimination because of it, which is wrong on any and every level. but either way, the flyer is fake. so it doesn't make difference what you think.

Meh… They've been pretty straight up, at least here in Houston, about what they stand for. This doesn't bother me. There are PLENTY of other places to work. Their food is good – if I have to eat fast food, I'd eat there.

I love their food, and will never stop eating there (there's one half a block from my home). But I did buy a special bright pink gay pride shirt to wear every time I go.
March 08, 2012 at 8:34 pm, Sean Williams said:
it's nice to see some one standing up for their beliefs… whatever it may be, and not bending or conforming just to get more business and make more money… which they certainly would if they had chosen to go the other way. Stand up for what you believe, be a leader not a follower. They could have taken the easy route, but they are successful none the less! Go Chick-fil-a go, you will always have my business when I am in the chicken eating mood!

March 08, 2012 at 9:46 pm, Tracy Rodriguez Lozano said:
At my church, we are taught that we are all sinners. So I'm guessing pretty much everybody is living a life of sin. That would exclude EVERYONE from applying at Chick-fil-a, right?

March 09, 2012 at 12:41 am, Tim Strackbein said:
They are certainly welcome to do this, assuming it's not illegal. I, however, am also completely welcome to refuse to eat there anymore, and encourage others to do the same. That's the nature of the free market. I liked Chik-fil-a, and will miss eating there, but an ok chicken sandwich is not worth supporting this.

Joseph Haney I checked snopes, and saw nothing that contradicts this article. Please post what you've found, and I will make sure to pass it along to everyone I know.

March 09, 2012 at 3:01 am, Tim Strackbein said:
A'shia Myers When it is posted to their actual page, I will forward it. If it's not on the site itself, I don't trust it. Feel free to link the article on the site itself. I want this to be false, but it needs to be proved so to me.

March 09, 2012 at 3:30 am, Tim Strackbein said:
Trenton Winford again, please post a link from their (specifically snopes) actual site, not any sort of facebook link, especially one that is visible regardless of whether or not you are a fan. Both the chik fil a link you posted and the snopes facebook page do not have a visible wall unless you are "like" them.
March 09, 2012 at 3:54 am, A'shia Myers said:
Tim Strackbein What's more official than their actual page? That is their OFFICIAL facebook which like many pages on Facebook you have to like to see. It's not a big deal to just like it for one minute then unlike. The world won't explode. They communicate to the public though Facebook.
March 09, 2012 at 4:00 am, Tim Strackbein said:
A'shia Myers I actually don't agree. I've watched Snopes for many years, and use them frequently to rebut the usual trolling stuff that goes around. However, there facebook site is NOT the site that I trust. *I* have no way of knowing who is in control of their facebook page at the moment. I also have enough experience with people being fooled by non-official postings (random people posting on the wall, and other people assuming that's an actual post for instance) to not trust random people on the internet. As far as adding them and removing them, I don't feel the need to do that. If snopes posts on their site, I will listen, and correct my statements as needed. If not, I don't feel the need to correct any of my statements.
March 09, 2012 at 4:44 am, A'shia Myers said:
Tim Strackbein Snopes isn't always accurate either. They've been known to slant political things.
March 09, 2012 at 5:10 am, Tim Strackbein said:
A'shia Myers Agreed, which is why I always check the references they provide.
March 09, 2012 at 5:39 am, Trenton Winford said:
Tim Strackbein You "don't feel the need to do that" because it will take too much effort? Or because you want to continue acting high and mighty on a comment section? If you "Like" the page for one minute, you will be able to see an OFFICIAL post from ChickFilA regarding this flier. I am intelligent enough to not be fooled by an unofficial posting. Of course, for you to say that you won't listen to the official Facebook page of ChickFilA but will listen to Snopes.com is pretty foolish.
March 09, 2012 at 5:46 am, Tim Strackbein said:
Trenton Winford Nice attempt at trolling, frankly though, idc.
March 09, 2012 at 6:09 am, Trenton Winford said:
Tim Strackbein So a reply to your post is an "attempt at trolling"? Frankly though, ChickFilA doesn't care. You are one person. You're refusal to determine for yourself if this is accurate or not is more of "trolling" than anything I have done. But hey, feel free to think whatever you want.

http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2007/0723/080.html Though it's an older article, Chik fil a can say what they want. The more I research this the more I don't care if the original was not part of an official Chik fil a advertisement, it's clearly part of their practice. FTA: "If a man can't manage his own life, he can't manage a business," says (founder and chairman), who says he would probably fire an employee or terminate an operator who "has been sinful or done something harmful to their family members."

Chick-fil-A fans, we're aware of a fake and inappropriate flyer that is circulating the web right now. We can assure you that this was not created or distributed by any Chick-fil-A Restaurant or any of its independent Operators. Chick-fil-A serves all of our customers, team members and potential team members with the utmost honor, dignity and respect. Thanks for your continued support!

you're right Joseph! its amazng how fast ppl are eager to jump on the "hate/boycott/take my business else where bandwagon". try doing some research first and quit believeing everything you hear/read…..geeze!

Perhaps the flyer is a fake. But it does not change the fact that they actively denounce the same sex marriage. That they dont deny.

I am boycotting this culturally subversive organization… because their food sucks. The McChicken sammich has more flavor. Not to mention, who the Hell eats carrots and raisins mixed with mayonnaise in 2012? That's disgusting depression era food. Wait, we're in a depression again. Disregard that comment, but their flavorless food still sucks.
March 09, 2012 at 2:26 am, Catherine Marshall said:
THIS IS FAKE. Chick fil A does not and will NEVER discriminate for any reason. Obviously the person who made this has a serious problem either with Chick fil A or Christians or both. Everyone sins. No matter how religious they are or aren't. This is seriously messed up though. Whoever made this, get a life and stop trying to ruin others'.

your still a moron, doesn't change anything…lol The comment wasn't about hiring or firing, it was you saying it was fake, learn to read….geeze you Jersey people….go back to grade school!

July 26, 2012 at 3:19 am, Catherine Anne Marshall said:
do you know the definition of discriminate? it means to treat differently or unjustly. last i checked, the fact that the owners of chick fil a have an opinion doesn't make them discriminatory; they don't not hire someone cause they're gay and they don't not serve someone cause they're gay. and lol jersey shore reject? really? hahaha you really do know absolutely nothing.

good thing this is America where freedom of speech is something people like me fight for.. so you may enjoy that freedom…. just because you don't agree, doesn't make you or anyone else right.. what I believe is what I believe. I will not force it down your throat, so why the fuck do you think you can force your opinion on others? everyone has the freedom to choose! It's people like you that make me cringe when fighting for the freedoms you so enjoy, and I would simply like to meet you one time to show you how ignorant you are! BTW enjoy the freedom I am willingly fighting for you to have while being away from my family and loved ones for years at a time. If you don't agree, that's your god given right! But F you should you force it on others!
