IMHO, I am a lesbian, and legally married in the GREAT STATE OF CONNECTICUT...and that said, I do not think that a kiss-in will help our cause a fig.
To me, this whole Chick-fil-a thing is nothing more than a herring in the path and I for one will not jump on the bandwagon...any moresoe than I did when it was J C Penney under fire by the Million Moms after Ellen Degeneres was appointed the spokeswoman.
Spend your money there or don't...You all have to choose with your own conscience...A kiss-in though will prove nothing more to the right than what they already know to be true...They think that the sum-total of homosexuality is about sex, and to thrust it into their faces in the forum of a kiss-in might only to foster that point...

I largely agree until your last paragraph. I guess I don't see the issue about sex. Society really needs to stop being so alarmist about it and sex needs to stop being seen as this thing to be kept out of the public eye.
But I certainly do think there are bigger fish to fry. Corporate scandals = least of lgbt/queer community's worries, imo. Edit: Do I think it sucks that these buffoons are funding the murder of the lgbt community in Uganda...yes. But I don't think that boycotting a restaurant is going to help the lgbt community Uganda, either. There are better ways, and the international community has managed to put pressure on the Ugandan government. Like its been mentioned earlier in the thread, movements take time and change takes time.
