LGBT news can be depressing at times, but this video definitely put me in a better mood. I was surprised at how far those guys got into it

Skyler Stone And Mike Smith, Two Straight Men, Kiss At Chick-Fil-A To Support Gay Marriage

Quote:

If you're not feeling Chick-fil-A burn out by now, you're stronger than most folks.

Ever since the fast food chain's President and COO Dan Cathy confirmed that he is against gay marriage last month -- and records of the company's charitable arm's anti-gay donations were re-exposed -- a controversy has relentlessly raged pitting LGBT advocates and allies against those who support Chick-fil-A.

Everyone from the mayor of Boston to Sarah Palin to the Jim Henson Company, which voided a relationship with Chick-fil-A after Cathy's comments, has spoken out on the issue.

And just when we thought we'd seen everything, a new viral video has appeared on YouTube featuring two straight men who kiss -- to put it mildly -- at a Chick-fil-A in Hollywood to show their support for gay people.

In the video, entitled "Chicken With A Side Of Hate," the men, comedian and actor Skyler Stone and his friend, comedian Mike Smith, freshen up on what seems like a ridiculous amount of toothpaste, mouthwash and breath mints, ask for advice on male-on-male kissing from two gay men and then advance hand in hand over to the Chick-fil-A on Sunset and Highland in Hollywood.

To see what happens once they get there watch the video above.

Though some may argue that Stone and Smith missed the point of LGBT people's problem with Chick-fil-A -- that not only is Cathy against marriage equality but the company has also donated millions of dollars to anti-gay causes (the comedians make purchases from the restaurant) -- their hearts seems to be in the right place.

What do you think?

Ew, two straight guys kissing - perverts!
I don't want any of that while I eat my chicken sandwich.

Two members of the The Black Lips (excellent garage punk band) did that too!

I actually thought it was pretty great for them to stand up like that, and I got a kick out of their makeout session lol. All things aside, I think it would have taken a lot of courage to do that given their sexuality - even if they were really great friends lol. That's just what I think

Im so Chick-Fil-A'ed out. The only value this video has for me is the satisfaction of knowing that this material sends homophobes into fits of rage.
