Usually, Cockroaches Hide When You Turn on the Lights. Not So with Modern Bigots

Today was a Banner Day for Bigotry.
"It was a Beautiful Thing", said one caller on the Mike Huckabee show this afternoon, of dozens of people lined up for a Chick A fil lunch. 
Honestly, since Barack Obama became the POTUS, it seems that bigots are glorifying in their bigotry; they're proud, and showing it off like it's a good thing. But they aren't alone, they're well funded. Chick-Fil-A's Charitable Arm Gave Nearly $2 Million To Anti-Gay Groups In 2010
WinShape Is Chick-Fil-A's Charitable Arm. The WinShape Foundation is Chick-fil-A's charitable arm, created by Chick-fil-A founder and chairman S. Truett Cathy in 1984. WinShape has received a substantial amount of funding from Chick-fil-A: in 2010 alone, WinShape received $8,067,161 from Chick-fil-A Inc. WinShape Gave Over $1.9 Million To Anti-Gay Groups. In 2010, WinShape donated $1,974,380 to a number of anti-gay groups: Marriage & Family Foundation: $1,188,380 Fellowship Of Christian Athletes: $480,000 National Christian Foundation: $247,500 New Mexico Christian Foundation: $54,000 Exodus International: $1,000 Family Research Council: $1,000 Georgia Family Council: $2,500 http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201207020001 AND: COMPANY FACTS

6. Racism & hate shoots you up the ranks in the RW quickly. Whereas we shun it, they celebrate it.

12. yeah, I've never eaten at a Chick Fil A

and don't intend to (two hour drive for a fast food chicken sandwich? no thanks) but I was really surprised and pleased that this guy was willing to stand against the hate- and am writing to express my thanks for his public support for equal rights.
He had plenty of people there willing to promote cathy's agenda- and didn't need to make an issue of his support of marriage equality. Wish this story had more traction in the MSM so that if there are other franchises out there who really aren't ok with the corporate attitude they would be encouraged to have the guts to speak out as well. People are trying to hide their hate behind "free speech" now, not only their twisted view of religion, and that really sucks- imo. I think that emboldened some to come out, who wouldn't have otherwise done so. They pretended it wasn't about prejudice, but rather about defending the first amendment.
