So I found a bright side to the chick fil a controversy - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

Nightmaric · 1st Aug 2012, 05:41 PM

So I posted a picture on Facebook about the chick fil a thing, obviously speaking out against it, and In eight minutes five of my friends liked it. 4 of which I didn't know there stance on it. So finding out who your true friends and even acquaintances who are on your side, is a pretty epic feeling. Got another while I was writing.

I should also mention I live in a very conservative town. if you have tried this what kind of response did you get?

I can agree with you on this. Some people from my former church posted positive stuff on Chick-Fil-A too. It really does help me figure out who would be good to come out too. All of my friends that are my age (-2) are pro gay. The two that are not have already told me that they were not going to talk to me until I "chose to be straight".

Chick-Fil-A: eat cock to support traditional marriage

SkyDiver · 1st Aug 2012, 06:00 PM

The last thing I posted on FB that was pro-LGBT was a status congratulating Obama on coming out in favor of marriage equality, and 28 people liked it. Only 3 of them came as surprises, but I agree with you, it is epic.

And once I'm fully out of the closet, then I won't ever have to question again how someone feels about the issue.

Yeah, I'm technically out but not really because I didn't feel like writing a status so I just changed my interested in. Hopefully that and this are enough to give people the idea.

I never really wrote a status either. I changed my "interested in" and started sharing a ton of gay stuff. I think people have gotten the idea though.

That's where it's at! Haha! I just felt like since I'm in a volatile environment that it might be perceived as attention craving or the such. Which what I did was perceived as such by some old acquaintance. Guy was a douche anyway.

I'm really, really tempted to post this on my Facebook now.

Except my friends are Canadian and probably wouldn't understand what Chick-Fil-A is.

Yay! I shared an article about Chick-fil-A and didn't get any responses. However it's strange because my Facebook was always peaceful and now it's blowing up because of this Chick-fil-A thing forcing people to take sides. One church friend who's a little older than me posted for Chick-fil-A and I saw someone taking the opposite stance in her replies.

Whoo, I just woke up, I have alot to catch up on.

Personally I'm getting a liiiiittle tired of the Chick-Fil-A nonsense.

It'd be nice if they could just go out of business already, and leave us all in peace.

Even better, if they came over to the light side. We don't have cookies, but we have lemonade!!!
