A travel agency called Al and Chuck Travel chartered a cruise on a Carnival ship with special performances by some of the popular drag queen stars of the Reality TV program Ru-Paul’s Drag Race. Six days before departure, ticket holders received a letter from Carnival Vice-President Vicky Rey informing them that passengers would not be permitted to dress in drag.

Many of you may remember way back in the summer of ’12, when the CEO of deep-fried diabetes factory Chick-fil-A came out against homo marriage (thereby conceding a shitload of wedding catering business to Arbys) and intolerant libtards were all, “We’re totally going to boycott your greasy slabs of chicken genocide which we never ate in the first place because meat is murder.”

The Chick-Fil-A COO just steps in it over and over. Dan Cathy spoke with 11Alive’s (WXIA-TV) Matt Pearl at the Cathy family’s ranch in Georgia.

Chick-fil-A’s chief operating officer boasts an anti-marriage equality rally sponsored by the fast food company in a Tweet.

I guess Dan Cathy has pulled a fast one on Alderman Proco “Joe” Moreno and Illinois-based advocacy group The Civil Rights Agenda. They declared victory yesterday in an announcement that the lawmaker had negotiated an agreement with chicken sandwich purveyor Chick-fil-A agreeing that it would no longer donate to anti-LGBT organizations — end giving to groups with “political agendas.”

he fast-food chain associated with making donations through its charitable arm to anti-gay hate organizations such as Focus On the Family and the American Family Association has apparently buckled — the dollar means more than supporting its bible beating homophobia.

It’s evangelicals versus wineries in a Southern California battle for land use, as churches seek to alter the environment of Temecula’s American Viticultural Area. An AVA is a designated wine grape-growing region, as defined by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), United States Department of the Treasury. Temecula is located in Riverside County, about 90 minutes equidistant from Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Countries.

No food reward, no dice. That’s the message that Chick-fil-A’s anti-equality customers have sent Brian Brown of National Organization for Marriage in the wake of Brown’s attempt to ride the tail feathers of “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” into fundraising heaven.

An interesting question that I thought I’d toss out here for discussion. It was raised in the LA Times.

What the whole controversy seems to show is that in our depleted democracy wherein the only “vote” that matters (literally, if vote-suppressing Republicans have their way…), is measured in dollars, the right has taken caveat emptor into previously unattained heights: they no longer have to even call shit Shinola. It sells either way.

There was a huge colon-clogging, gizzard glutting eat-in at Chick-fil-A on Sunset and Highland Wednesday for the Mike Huckabee-called, frothy Rick Santorum-embraced, Sarah Palin-endorsed, Rush Limbuagh-hyped “National Chick-fil-A Chick-fil-hAte Appreciation Day.” Two lines of cars snaked into the drive through ordering stations, backing up traffic onto Sunset Boulevard, and the parking lot was full. I wish I had been able to take a snapshot of the woman in a nose job bandage eating a frozen dessert cone as she drove out. Very L.A.
