Professor Labels Chick-fil-A ‘Fried Food For Homophobes'
2017-07-21
[Daily Caller] A petition from Change.org wants the Chick-fil-A restaurant at Youngstown State University (YSU) shut down, claiming that all that "homophobic" chicken just "adds to the negative experience of LGBT students."

As Campus Reform reports, the petition has support among faculty, with one professor calling the fast-food establishment "fried food for homophobes."

"I am a professor at YSU. I have not set foot up there since they became Chick-fil-A. A long time ago it used to be a respectable place where you could take an invited speaker out to lunch and even have table service. We now have no such place and I will not support Fried Food for Homophobes, which is what I think of Chick-fil-A," said Heather Lorimer, an associate professor in genetics at YSU.

"Chick-fil-a is well known for its CEO’s bigotry," Lorimer told Campus Reform. "Since it has been Chick-fil-A I have not set a foot in it."

The petition strongly objects to Chick-fil-A being "the only place to get food in the evenings" on campus and won’t accept any apologies from the restaurant for past statements because the it "still donating money to anti-LGBT organizations."

Citing the "very low campus pride rating"

#16  Yes. Absolutely. The only thing I am reflecting upon while polishing off my waffle-fries is the homosexual community.

#14  Really? You would take invited speakers to fast food? And Chick-fil-a is the only show in town, so now you can't take your invited speaker to lunch?

Oh, and you have not been in a Chick-fil-a since it has been a Chick-fil-a?

Teaches genetics, huh.

#13  #11 Of course they hate Dan Cathy (CEO). He's a successful white male family man

He also closes shop on Sunday which is racist or something.

/disclaimer: I've eaten at Chick-fil-A. Good stuff.

#10  The neighbors in the neighborhood all agreed they were going to tell Animal Control the "rooster" sounds were actually a transsexual chicken and not to worry.

Is he a good layer ?

#8  This is a little off-topic but...The neighbors behind us have chickens. It is O.K. to have a limited number of chickens but no roosters. Well, the neighbor got a rooster in the bunch of chickens and it crows early every morning. The neighbors became fond of the rooster's early morning rooster crowing. Animal Control began asking questions about the "chickens." The neighbors in the neighborhood all agreed they were going to tell Animal Control the "rooster" sounds were actually a transsexual chicken and not to worry.

#7  The cultural backlash against the SJWs has already started. What will they do when there is no one left to hear them whinge themselves inside out?

They might have to get a real hobby.

#6  I still remember the ill-fated Chick-fil-A boycott. Attacking Chick-fil-A in Georgia, not a very prudent undertaking. The stores were packed with people for days. Telling someone they had a very ugly hunting dog would have produced a kinder response.

#5  So if a Pro-traditional family automatically equals anti-gay, then the equation must be true in reverse and by virtue of being homosexuals they are actively against normal, heterosexual people and their unions. That clears up a lot.

#4  Personally, I don't care if the chicken is gay or not. I'm going to eat it.

#2  While SJWs boycott Chick-Fil-A, Mrs. JohnQC and I have a couple of gay friends who will not stop going to CFA as they say CFA has the best chicken; they don't buy into the made-up B.S.
