Carly McGehee, 24, had been trying for months to plan a "kiss-in" to protest fried-chicken chain Chick-fil-A's long history of donating money to groups that oppose same-sex marriage and promote conversion therapy, a controversial practice intended to "cure" gay people.
But there was no real catalyst for the event until now.
This summer, the company's chief executive Dan Cathy gave a pair of interviews saying he was “guilty as charged” of supporting “the biblical definition of the family unit" and that gay marriage invites "God's judgment on our nation."
The company now sits at the center of a furious debate over same-sex marriage, gay rights and free speech while some politicians rally around it and others urge the company to stay out of their cities. McGehee, of Dallas, thought the time was right.
On Friday night, she estimates about 15,000 same-sex supporters will show up at Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide to snap photos, and hug, kiss or hold hands with someone of the same-sex. One of her main goals for the event is to give hope to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth living in the South, who hear messages condemning gay marriage more often than words of support, McGehee said.
"Tonight is for those kids that are growing up in, say, a small town in Texas, like I did, so that they can see that they're not different, that they're loved and accepted and they shouldn't be ashamed of who they are," McGehee said. She also hopes to show the world that the American people "aren't going stand for discrimination and intolerance."

As I have said before, let those in the gay community convert to the Wicca religion or the Satanist religion. Those are the two religions that recognize same sex marriages. We do not need to create extra laws for minorities that are not already in existence. I have a zero sum issue for gay rights. Gay marriage is not a gay right according to the state. Want to argue that on the proper end? 1st Amendment, to the bill of rights, Congress shall make no law respecting establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Gay marriage is not a Christian value, therefore the need to recognize it as such does not exist.
It is a recognized value under Wicca and Satanism. Paganism may also recognize it as well. Therein lies the answers to this dilemma. The state is under no obligation whatsoever to recognize the issues and to do so is to go against the Constitution of the Untied States and also the Bill of Rights of the US. If gay people wish to get married, then let them follow the paths where it is accepted. No issues there.
Gay marriage is a privilege, not a right. Now here is what is really going on with the protests. It's an attempt to silence the freedom of speech made by the owner of the Chick-Fil-A franchise as well as a very blatant attack on Christianity itself. Just because you do not like his view does not give you the right to attack him for it. Any gay person who protests the owners right to the freedom of speech attacks themselves for the right to be gay openly. Think about it.

Gloucester, VA - Chick-Fil-A A National Divide
Monday August 1st, the local Chick-Fil-A restaurant was jam packed with people in support of the chain, based on the franchise founder''s statements of believing in the traditional marriages with a national interpretation of being against gay marriage.
Our staff insisted I write a piece on the debate. I have a lot of issues surrounding the whole thing. I have no issues with Chick-Fil-A and it's support of traditional marriage. This nation was founded on Christian principles and to quote John Adams, "Will support no other." I have no issues with gay relationships. It is not my place to make those life decisions for others. Do I support gay marriage? No. Do I oppose gay marriage? Yes, but not for the reasons that one would normally consider.
There is nothing new under the sun. One must study history to see if we are about to make some major serious mistakes. Rome was destroyed from within over reasons just like this. Gay marriage is extra privileges above and beyond what is and has been a part of normal society. It is granting additional rights to a class of citizens that are in a minority. I have no issues with gay rights. No one should be harmed based on their opinions or lifestyle choices as long as it is mutually consensual and not forced on the masses.
The issues of gay marriage are nothing more than the division of the masses of people. No different than the abortion issues, democrats verses republicans, left verses right, and whatever other issues the mass media wants to play on us all. It's revolting to me that people are so easily caught up in all of these issues and told how and what to think, keeping a nation always divided.
Here is an interesting issue to consider. In one state it was a recent headline piece that a gay couple who filed for divorce could not get one. Reason? There were no laws on the books of the state that allowed people brought together in a gay marriage to get a divorce.
Another area I have a real problem with is the constant bashing of Christians. Again, this nation was founded on Christian principles and we all see the constant attack to destroy traditional Christian values. The local churches do a good enough job of that themselves without any outside help. The state of our nation is because of the destruction of what was once our core values. Ask any young adult about history and you are likely to get a blank stare or a very strange interpretation of what they think history has taught them.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not an educational tool for colleges to be teaching. Keep the people confused and divided is more of the story piece. Not who is right or wrong. Anyone who disagrees with my own opinion about gay marriage? I respect their right to disagree. It's called freedom of speech. The only two religions I am aware of that has ever supported gay marriage is the Satanic religion and also fairly recently, Wicca. If you want to get married into a gay marriage, please join one of the two and do not ask traditional Christian religions to accept you when it is against the Christian code. Know your history and you won't have these issues. Gays just need to join Wicca in order to get married and leave everyone else out of it. The other choice? Become a Satanist.
