Chick-Fil-A Approval Rating Plummets After Anti-Gay Controversy

"Chick-fil-A's anti-gay marriage stance has gotten some high-profile support by way of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and other conservative lawmakers. But among their longtime customers, it's a much different story.

Polling organization YouGov found that the Atlanta-based chain's brand approval ratings have plummeted in the wake of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's controversial remarks earlier this month...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

My point was.. if you can "allow" men & women to choose what sex they can be. Why is it so wrong to allow organization to produce a product that could revert "homosexuality" which would also in turn produce a product that could revert "heterosexuality" thus creating the choice of what sexuality you wish to be attracted to. Denying people that right because of your narrow minded views of not wanting religious people to research a "cure" for homosexuality is out right denying people freedom.

The heck are you talking about? Men wanting sex changes is due to biology. Men who want sex changes NOT getting sex changes is because of religious groups and social misunderstandings. When people initially discover they may not be cisgendered they DO wish to be different. But psychologically healthy individuals overcome this desire, and eventually learn to love and appreciate themselves for who they are...

Liberal bullshit at its finest.

Oh and I am sure men wanting to have sex changes is because of religious groups and social misunderstandings?? come on seriously... don't act like their isn't someone.

You just don't want to admit that maybe someone exists who doesn't want to be a homosexual.

Thanks for playing the "Im narrow minded and don't really care about their feelings" game...

okay I am done here now. ..

"There is probably a gay guy out their who generally wants to be straight since clearly it is genetic"

Probably because of religious groups and social misunderstanding.

[theHaloEnforcer]

no one said it was currently possible, but I am sure them anti-gay groups are funding some private scientist organization to try and find away. Most likely will end up being done with RNA and a virus or something. =P

I don't really care, but I think everyone deserves a choice, and I sure just like their are men that want to be women their is probably a gay guy out their who generally wants to be straight since clearly it is genetic =D

I'd love some evidence of this actually happening.

You can't change someone that far into their life. If you change the genes in one cell it would undergo apoptosis because it's to different from the other cells.

If you change the genes in every single cell in a persons body simultaneously you would have to remove every cell, reprogramme them and put them all back together. There is literally no way to do it past the sperm-egg phase.
