The anti-gay Eugene Delgaudio wants you to show support for Chick-Fil-A by buying their stock.
Except the company is privately owned. No stock to buy.
Fail.

Chick-Fil-A busted using fake Facebook profile to defend itself
Chick-Fil-A got busted today apparently using a fake “hours new” Facebook account defending it’s recent announcements about discontinuing use of Muppet toy give-aways.
Apparently, in a back and forth on Facebook it was revealed that “Abby” – defender of all things Chick-Fil-A – was a brand new Facebook account and her face pic was a stock photo from shutterstock.com.
Gizmodo points to what may be a huge Facebook fail by Chick-Fil-A:
“Chick-fil-A claimed the toys were pulled because of a “possible safety issue”. That, of course, is a complete lie. A lie that they’re propagating with fake Facebook accounts of Chick-fil-a sympathists. Yep, Chick-fil-A is still stuck in its own reality and is doubling down on its lie. Instead of owning up to the fact that The Jim Henson Company stopped doing business with them because they’re overrun with bigots, the chicken sandwich company is making fake Facebook accounts to defend its honor on the social network. How do we know the accounts are fake? Just check out this back and forth on Chick-fil-A’s Facebook page between real, breathing people and “Abby Farle”, a Facebook account that was made 8 hours ago by a chicken PR flack with a stock image of a teenage girl as her profile picture.”

Tell Chick-Fil-A to “cluck off”
The Muppets dump Chick-Fil-A
The Muppets have dumped Chick-Fil-A. The Jim Henson Company has posted a statement to their Facebook page:
The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.
Chick-Fil-A not welcome in the city of Boston says mayor
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has heard enough of the anti-gay rhetoric coming from Chick-Fil-A, and he’s let the company know that that kind of discrimination isn’t welcome on the Freedom Trail.
“Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston,” Menino told the Boston Herald yesterday. “You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion. … That’s the Freedom Trail. That’s where it all started right here. And we’re not going to have a company, Chick-fil-A or whatever the hell the name is, on our Freedom Trail.”
Menino said Chick-fil-A will find it “very difficult” to get licenses in Boston unless it changes its policies, and he plans to send a letter to the company’s headquarters in Atlanta “telling them my feelings on the matter.”
Chick-Fil-A does damage control
Lots of people are jumping on the “boycott Chick-Fil-A” bandwagon. Tossing out the “independent Owner/operators” line to try and deflect criticism is disingenuous.
Not so sure this is going to stave off the loss of customers….
Chick-Fil-A chief admits to supporting anti-gay groups
“Well, guilty as charged. We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We intend to stay the course. We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.” – Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-Fil-A, when asked about the millions his company has donated to “family ministries.”
