For the chicken lover in you.

yum! haven't had it in forever...chickfila disappeared from St Louis when I was an early teen and just came back a couple of years ago, but none close by me

dammit, T! Now you got my mouth watering thinking about food....I think I'm gonna have to order a pizza and wings

lol... you mean CHICKEN wings? :D

made me hungry here too and it's only been a week since my last one...guess i know what's for dinner tonight...

We already decided on pizza tonight,i guess i have to get some wings as well.:)

I don't get the title, Tom. What am I missing?

Lollipop.... there has been a controversity about Chick-fi-la about their company's ceo saying that he disapproved of "same sex marriages". Many mayors and other politicians of America put him (the ceo) down and somewhat treated Chick-fi-la's future business success. Thousands of people throughout america came out on Wednesday and bought meals there. The largest business day for them in their history. It was soooo refreshing to see the grass roots of america speak out. On friday the other people had a KISS-IN (same sex kissing) at there locations but wasn't nearly as successful with their movement. So I made a puzzle to honour Chick-Fi-lay. :)

Oh, I understand now. My own grass-roots belief is that, on the principle that all people are or should be equal, the choice to marry or not should be extended to everyone. I am proud that marriage between any two people is a legislated federal right in Canada.

Noooooooooooo! Not one of Matt's friends!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

Edge logic on the 5 clue in column 3.

Thanks, Tom, for the puzzle! I was one of the many people to go out on Wednesday and support our local Chick-fil-A...it was totally AMAZING how long the line was and how crowded it was in there! Even the drive through line was out in the road! I had to stand up in a chair to get a picture of the crowd! I think that day was the happiest I ever was to stand in line for 30-45 minutes...aand that was just the lunch crowd! They say the supper crowd was even bigger!

Wow! Sounds like there's a lot of people out there who don't believe that everyone has a right to marry the person they love. That just seems very wrong to me, but what do I know? I had Chic-Fil-A once and resolved to never duplicate that experience lol!

...btw I also misread your puzzle description in my haste to solve your puzzle, Tom. I thought it said,"For the chicken liver in you"!

lol JD...also you & lollipop have misunderstood. The grass roots movement wasn't about who could get married. It was "freedom of speach" that was under attack by some of those in elected positions.

That accounted for a small percentage of the turnout. The rest were churchgoing folks who are anti-gay marriage and wanted to show their support for Dan Cathy.

Perhaps in your area, most folks were there to support first amendment rights; here in the Bible Belt, it was all about fear of the gays.

I was thinking like Norma Dee, that it would be controversial among Matt the Kat's friends.

All of the reporting I have heard was reporting the lineups of people supporting Chicken-Fil-A claimed (or simply assumed) that they were showing their approval of suppressing gay marriage.

Forcing other people to arrange their private lives to match your religious convictions is intolerant meddling as far as I am concerned (and that applies equally to *any* religion - Christian, Muslim, whatever). It far worse when it gets the force of law behind that intolerance. Trying to illegalize the rights of others to live their lives in their own way is not a matter of free speech. Free speech gives you to right to try to convince others to accept your point of view; forcing people to live according to your point of view, regardless of their own point of view is not free speech but rather a denial of free speech.

Wow! Going out to stand in line in favor of bigotry is shameful. Many years from now I suspect those of you who stood against the civil rights of an oppressed segment of society will feel that shame. For now, enjoy your chicken.

ergo... the title of this puzzle

Interesting solve! Interesting forum!

Each person has a right to his own oppinion

Opinion...sure. But you don't have the right to infringe upon another person's civil rights.

It is just like freedom of speech vs hate speech.

The truly ridiculous thing about the anti marriage freedom side is that marriage freedom doesn't hurt anyone. Why are some people so opposed to it? It makes no sense.
