Kansas University’s Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council is livid with the expansion of Chick-fil-A on campus and calling for Jayhawks to boycott the eatery. The popular fast-food chain is in the crosshairs of yet another college group due in large part to Dan Cathy, the company’s president and CEO, supporting the traditional definition of marriage in 2012.(Snip) “KU granted Chick-fil-A, a bastion of bigotry, a prime retail location in the heart of our campus,” KU’s Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council said in a letter sent this week to Chancellor Doug Girod, the provost’s

Bigotry definition, stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own
Who is the bigot here? Those calling for a boycott to support their opinion?

I’m a lifelong resident of Kansas with two kids that graduated from KU (me? K State). This is a total embarrassment to this great state and KU.

Awww man..... I always had a soft spot in my heart for KU, especially during this time of year as the poor Jayhawks went 0-fer conference play year after year.
But now, not only do I hope they get beat....badly...every game this year, I hope the dressing room buffet table is piled high with Chick-fil-a goodies.

I'm threatened by sexuality & gender diversity curricula. I can make a much better case than these asshats at KU.

It would take someone with half a Brain to figure out how to handle this problem. DON'T EAT THERE! Unfortunately, they are all Pea Brains, so they will whine and complain instead. I think people are sick and tired of these people!

Can't they just have a time-out room with large dolls to hug?
Can't they be provided with crisis counselors?
What is this, time for crisis intervention?
A bastion of bigotry?
Just declare the campus LGBTQ only and get on with it.
No heterosexuals or Christians allowed.

The bastion of bigotry is on the UK faculty who have likely never been in a Chick Fil-A, or seen the diversity of people who both work there, and buy their products.
The opinions and beliefs of the founder of the company have nothing to do with the people who work at their stores, or willingly enter their stores to buy food.
Unlike a University, where most need to fall in line, and repeat the mantra from on top, the rest of society isn't pre-disposed to group-think mentality.

I think people open to the public have to serve the public, regardless if they like them. That's what is great about capitalism. You go for some chicken nuggets, you get chicken nuggets, and they get cash, and that is the end of it. Now socialists, they give you a social credit score, and you may not get chicken nuggets, or be able to fly, or leave the house.

In 2012, Barack Obola and Lady Lucifer had the same opinion as the CEO of Chick Filet, about marriage - it was between a man and a woman.. and Lady Lucifer's husband, Dollar Bill Clintonjm, signed into law the Defense Of Marriage Act, during his second term as Pervert In Chief.

Dear Dan Cathy, please open a Chick-Fil-A directly across the street from any entity refusing your locating there. The loss of concession or tax revenues will give them fits. Its always nice to see Leftists running around acting foolish.

I'd start a war just to conscript these "pussays" and send them in. "The Pussay Brigade".

Back when I was a graduate student at KU, nobody thought same-sex marriage was a reasonable idea and nobody attached political significance to chicken sandwiches. It was a better time.

So Chick-fil-A is a "bastion of bigotry" because its CEO supported traditional marriage in 2012? Then America is also a basket of bigotry. Our CEO supported traditional marriage in 2012 (until Sleepy Joe floated his trial balloon in support of gay marriage, then Obama's thinking suddenly "evolved").
Oh, I forgot. The Left really believes that America IS a basket of bigotry. Never mind.

Lawrence, about 25 miles from me, is the most leftist city in KS, due to the lunatic professors.
Sad that the KS state universities have been allowed to turn into the same sort of sewers of leftist insanity that are pervasive elsewhere.

Don't you know that the folks over at Chic-fil-A are smiling, knowing that their sales in Kansas are about to spike up a few hundred percent?!?!?!?
If you didn't already know that homosexuality was a mental disorder, just look at the idiots on that side that are calling for boycotts of a fast food restaurant because their very existence makes people on the homosexual side of the aisle afraid!!! That is about as mentally ill as you can get!!!

Someone smarter than me said that food is more important than politics. If it weren't for the adverse effect it would have on my health I'd gladly eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream even though they are Bat Droppings Crazy. Chick-fil-A also closes on Sundays. Should they be required to open on that day as well? This is not peculiar to Kansas. Excepts for a few religious based universities these sexually confused are taking over American higher education.

Everytime the snowflakes call for a boycott, Chik-Fil-A increases sales. Anyone ever think maybe the company is behind the boycott?????

What would the Perennially Oppressed (i.e., the nastiest bullies around) do without their imaginary enemies? KU should get off the fence; disband and fire the Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council, or rebrand themselves as the Gayhawks and wait for the lesbians, the bisexuals, the transgenders, the gender nonconforming, the queers, etc to complain about being excluded.
