As the news continues to emerge about the brutal radical Islamist terror attack responsible for slaying 49 people at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, Chick-fil-A–a company often maligned by the LGBT community–has made a selfless gesture to comfort supporters of the victims of the terrorist act without seeking any publicity for it.
Without seeking the limelight, the fast food giant responded by bringing a large amount of free food and drinks to the local blood donation center that was taking blood donations for the dozens who were seriously injured in the attack.
The news of the fast food outlet’s actions were reported on Facebook by Tampa, Florida, attorney and radio show host Kevin Hayslett.
Hayslett took to his own Facebook page to note that the Chick-fil-A in Orlando opened on Sunday, prepared its inventory of food, and trucked it down to the One Blood donation center, where workers handed out the delectables to everyone who was donating blood to aid the victims.
The restaurant even handed out coupons for free items that could be redeemed later.
Hayslett also noted that the restaurant is not seeking publicity for its donations.
“So far, the only mentions of the incident have been from individuals on Facebook. They have posted photos thanking the restaurant for their thoughtfulness and generosity,” Hayslett wrote in his post.
Hayslett also said that this action proves those who blindly hate Chick-fil-A are clearly in the wrong.
“But, wait,” he wrote, “those people were waiting to give blood to victims that were mostly gay people. Doesn’t Chick Fil A hate gays? That’s what we keep being told”:
Turns out, that while the founders [of Chick-Fil-A] definitely don’t approve of that choice of lifestyle, they believe in compassion. Who knew? A bunch of people claiming to be Christians care about others even when they don’t agree with them. This group took time out of their schedules to volunteer to help those who were also trying to do their part.
This is far from the only time a local Chick-fil-A has gone above and beyond without seeking any publicity for its efforts.
Last year, for instance, several outlets made news, one for helping motorists stranded by a winter storm and another, for lending a hand to victims of a Texas tornado. Many other such stories on the part of Chick-fil-A exist.
In the end, Chick-fil-A believes in helping fellow community members in a time of need, but not for profit and not for a cheap advertising gimmick.
Give them a platinum star.. At their own expense, without being asked, they saw a need and filled it.
What more can you ask?
When I feel the need for wings, they will have my business.
Good on you, whomever thought that up and executed it!

MA,
I understand you are not religious, which is fine with me. There are many good and decent Christians, as well as non – Christians who live this way daily. That is why I find it truly preposterous when so many on the liberal left as well as a number of people on the Christian right decry a whole group for what they perceive as wrong behavior or lifestyles. I won’t let pass any harm someone may bring onto my family, but if you chose a lifestyle that brings no harm to others I say live and let live. I often say to my kids if it was you in that position what would you want others to do and act accordingly.
Bob.
Boston Bob , Homosexuality doesn’t cause anyone else any harm ??? That’s about the stupidest Damn thing I have heard anyone say since yesterday and I promised Penn Head I would be nice.I’m still going to try .
Homosexuality is a direct judgment from God on the individual as well as society. With those judgments come diseases of all kinds which are then spread into other areas of Society with enormous costs..
Homosexuality agenda is a political ideology meant to destroy and rearrange society as we know it.Obama is a homosexual. Has been one all his life .Now tell his agenda is good for your family or your children’s families. Homosexuality promotes all forms of leftists poison into young minds of children to deliberately destroy their moral standards and undermine fathers like you.
So, to summarize what bb said, homosexuality doesn’t cause anyone harm except bigoted religious zealots who somehow decide that it is their job to judge others.
This deliberate destruction of moral standards in children means society will only grow more wicked until we are worse then most third world countries. Read…..After the Ball ….written by two homosexual activists in 1990.They put together a plan with the help from big media to completely change America culture. It has been successfully beyond their expectations. With the help of Hollywood and TV they have made homosexuality acceptable in society where as 30 years it was still forbidden .Next will be anything goes sexually. Nothing will be denied. Sex with children , sex with animals and more sexual perversions along with more diseases. This will destroy everything in its path including you Boston Bob…..being fat ,drunk and stupid is no way to go through life….Dean Wormer from Animal House.
Some religions, like some cultures, ARE better than others.

Nice program!!

Dang it, you are the poster boy for self-righteousness. You need to read the New Testament more often. Try Luke 18:10-14, the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican about six times a day. Then try to find one word Jesus said to condemn homosexuals. Perhaps if you can develop an attitude of compassion instead of judgment, you won’t have to concern yourself with this statement of Jesus: ” As you judge, so will you be judged”.
Now I will try to summon up some compassion for you.
@ bb,
Maybe it’s time to just let bygones be bygones? Homosexuality has been around as long as humanity has and I can guarantee you this – it will be around long after you and I are both gone.
PS – Hope you’re feeling better.
@ Stucky – great alliteration.

Thanks. Hey, if you haven’t seen it, check out my song parody of “I saw the light” in the “Vows” thread. I’m proud of that piece.
bb is Just Plain Fucken Nuts. He protests so strongly against homosexuality that I honestly believe he is, or was, or has himself strong homo desires. Really.
======
bb: Just cuz I sucked cock once over a two week period, doesn’t mean I’m a homosexual.
Stucky: What does it mean?
bb: It means I’m an American!
Stucky: I don’t understand.
bb: Look, last year I went to Europe for two weeks. When I came back, I was still an American!
bb,
Many aspects of the homosexual lifestyle are extremely self destructive, but two men or two women living a peaceful and productive life together brings no harm to society, any more than someone living alone in the same manner. The moral decay you speak of has been around for at least a couple of millennia, it just has better publicity agents now. If I thought I knew what God wanted of each and everyone of I gladly let everyone know, but I think it is better to keep my mouth shut on what God thinks and just try to be a good and decent father, husband and person.
Bob.
Gayle,
Jesus affirmed the whole of the law on numerous occasions, and the law condemns homosexuality (as well as cross dressing, FWIW, both of which are referred to as abominations).
Homosexual behavior is a grievous sin, an abomination.
Jesus never failed to point out the sins of the people he addressed, and we are expected to follow his example lest they be lost to condemnation through their ignorance.
Jesus stated (Matt 18:3) Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. – NLT
FWIW, it helps to read and understand the Bible before condemning others with it. You might consider that Jesus never said a single word against bestiality or abortion or slavery either, does that mean he condones them?
Of course not, Jesus establishes forgiveness for those who leave their sinful ways so that they don’t find condemnation in their final Judgement.
But that forgiveness is dependent on repentance and the turning away from sinful actions, not continuing in it, dedicating your life to it, and claiming it is right instead of wrong.
bb: “…Homosexuality is a direct judgment from God on the individual as well as society. With those judgments come diseases of all kinds which are then spread into other areas of Society with enormous costs….”
man you are stone cold stoopid. you base your views on a Bible where your “god” ordered the murder of children and babies.
now go back to eating your shellfish

I did not mean to imply that homosexuality is not sinful, indeed it is. However, let us not minimize our own sins in comparison. What bothers me is the condemnation that comes forth from too many Christians like bb, who have plenty to do to deal with their own shortcomings. You know, the whole “log in your own eye” issue. I was trying to draw the distinction between recognition vs. condemnation.
Gayle,
OK, I understand where you are coming from.
There are many who call themselves Christian but who are not, some because they are ill informed or even deceived and some because they are deliberately so and intend to use the claimed status to deceive others.
They all need prayer and information so they don’t find themselves among the condemned at Judgement, Jesus warned of this when in Matthew 7:23.
It’s a sad thing to see someone, anyone, die in unrepentant sin.
It means a victory for Satan.
Many of my friends knew of Truett Cathy the founder of Chcik-fil-A as he lived in the same county in Georgia as they do.
He was a decent man and a Christian who believed in the good book. His sons will toe the PC line where the old man stood his ground. I believe he would have helped anyone gay or not.
Where do any of you draw the line ? When society approves of homosexuality it opens the door to every other kind of degenerate reprobate behaviors as you are seeing right now with this transgender bullshit. Sex with children , sex with animals , sex with dead bodies and every other kind of perversion. You will see.
What people do in private is ok as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody is a lie straight from hell.Look at the blacks . The biggest problem is black women having bastard babies . These babies grow up be little more then roving animals who then get involved in all kinds of crime .This kills the community. Crime causes poverty. What these black women do in their bedrooms effects all of us.Welfare , Crime ,destruction of whole cities and costs tons of money.
Francis -murder has been around since the beginning, that don’t make it right. Yes, they spread disease and worse corruption in society even those who are in a mythical monogamous “relationship”
Gayle-bb isn’t judging he is discerning and call it it as it is, a disgusting filthy degenerate destructive lifestyle.
Chic Filet wasted their time and money. Unless they cave and promote sucking dick and taking it in the ass, they will stay on the left hit list. The queers are just as tolerant as the Mohammedans.
A true Christian is known by their actions, and those actions are reflection of their love for God and their desire to please him. Jesus said the two great commandments are (1) to love God and (2) to love our neighbor. He didn’t say only love your neighbor if they are a Christian or nice people. Many first century Christians won people over to Christianity by helping others, not just Christians. And Jesus didn’t just hang out with his own followers. He hung out with the sinners to show them Christian charity and because sinners needed to hear his message. You don’t have to agree with someone’s lifestyle, be they gay or alcoholic or even Easter/Christmas Christians, to help them. And that’s what Jesus commands.
Gayle says: bb…I will try to summon up some compassion for you.
Very Christian of you.
Where’s the follow-through by Boston Chicken (not Bob) and the Chicken Queen?
Your hot, Maggie, fried or broiled, we love you even if you lay an egg once in a while.
Vic, that’s no way to pay bb back for his kindness; he may have saved your soul, he ran over a man-eating queer.
Full Retard
You may think my remark was sarcastic. Actually it came from realizing I was being just as judgmental of bb as he was being toward some others.
Overthecliff says: Unless they cave and promote sucking dick and taking it in the ass, they will stay on the left hit list. The queers are just as tolerant as the Mohammedans.
OTC, that’s funny. I hope your kidding.
This is the gay moment. Just yesterday the gays became a political force. I read where one said, “I’m a gay activist and I’ll be voting for Trump”. Another said, “my gay friend said…”.
If we’re putting words in gay’s mouths, my queer friend said he’s voting for Bernie. I swear, he said that. You can now safely show your support for gays by voting for Bernie.
I mean, if folks need an excuse to indulge a guilty fantasy voting for Trump, well, the stigma is off Bernie, my gay friend endorses him, so go ahead, make a gays’ day.
Gayle, your the nicest person on TBP. Besides Clammy. I know for a fact because I’ve made quite a few people mad at me and have felt the heat of their disdain.
Know for a fact I was kidding. bb can grind a bit on a topic whether it’s gays or Jews. Sometimes, I stoke the flames of irony, other times I seriously defend those not represented here.
Jesus loves you very much, Gayle, I don’t know why.
bb says: “Where do any of you draw the line ?

the retard mind automatically goes to bestiality. hey Einstein, how do children or animals give consent?
“… What people do in private is ok as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody is a lie straight from hell….”
let me guess, you want Big Government to control what we do, POS
Overthecliff says: “…Yes, they spread disease and worse corruption in society even those who are in a mythical monogamous “relationship”….”
who is “they”? you heterosexuals?
Overthecliff says: “…The queers are just as tolerant as the Mohammedans.”
f-ing hypocrite
Take it easy, gay vet. Starting a fight your first time out of the lurker closet is no way to make friends here.
We love queers. Really.
awwwwww, Full Retard, I’m touched, truly. 😉
I guess Fabulous got his wish. You should see the wonderful welcome he got only a week ago, it was Fabulous – in typical TBP fashion,
Gay, don’t worry about the negative comments, this is a pretty progressive crowd. One of the guys said he got drunk one night and gave his roommate a BJ. Said it tasted like chicken.
Most of the time, fellas here want somebody to blow them. (Just don’t ask to fuck there sister).
sister fucking? sounds right up bb’s alley
