A number of celebrities from coast-to-coast have unleashed a flurry of attacks on Chick-fil-A after the company’s president said they support the biblical definition of marriage.

Jon Stewart, the host of “The Daily Show”, went on a profanity laced rant against Chick-fil-A during a taping of his cable television program. Click here to watch the video.
“Open your eyes owner of Chick-fil-A,” he declared. “You’re being such an *sshole, not even Boston will tolerate you.”
Stewart was referring to recent comments made by Boston’s mayor vowing to block the Atlanta-based company from opening a restaurant in the city.
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy created a national uproar after he affirmed his company’s support for traditional marriage during an interview with Baptist Press. Ina separate radio interview, he said that “we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.”
Critics, including Boston Mayor Tom Menino, accused Chick-fil-A of being anti-gay.
The company had been reportedly considering a possible location along the city’s Freedom Trail. But Menino said he would block those efforts.
“You can’t have a business in the City of Boston that discriminates against a population,” he told the newspaper. “We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion.”
Stewart’s rant also including a vulgar parody of the popular Chick-fil-A cow – holding a sign that read “Eat More C**.”
And he wasn’t the only celebrity to attack the popular, family-friendly restaurant chain. Roseanne Barr unleashed a series of profane tweets — hoping that Chick-fil-A customers got cancer.
“Anyone who eats S**t fil A deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4 Christ,” she tweeted.
Grant Gustin, a cast member of the gay-friendly television series GLEE, wrote on Twitter that he was “done with Chick-fil-A.”
“Your food is not good enough to take from a bunch of a**holes,” he tweeted.
“The Office” star Ed Helms was not quite so vulgar in his outrage over the chicken chain.
“Chick-fil-A doesn’t like gay people? So lame,” he tweeted. “Hate to think what they do to the gay chickens! Lost a loyal fan.”
The gay rights campaign NOH8 called for a nationwide boycott earlier this year because Chick-fil-A’s charitable foundation supports Christian ministries like Focus on the Family and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
LGBT Weekly reports the NOH8 campaign is supported by Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Deepak Chopra and the Kardashian sisters.

NOH8 is supported by Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Lohan, Deepak Chopra , and the Kardashian sisters…hmmm…I'm thinking they may need to get some credible supporters. You know, the kind that can stay out of jail, don't have substance abuse issues, and can actually maintain a marriage, for longer than 72 days. I laughed when I saw this list of people.

"LGBT Weekly reports the NOH8 campaign is supported by Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Deepak Chopra and the Kardashian sisters." LOL – seriously? How sad that Deepak's name is included with this cheap, trampy, vacuous trio of bimbos! At any rate – apparently – the new 'coming out' is when Christians confirm their belief in the word of the Bible. Then all the gay/lesbian proponents attack – how dare you have the right to a belief and worse, express it in public. Apparently, heteros are now the minority so we should get the parades and the laws protecting our rights. Have sex with who you want to have sex with. Just shut up about it! I do not care and I do not need to know. Narcissistic bunch.

I would rather have cancer than aids. Now Chic fila fill my order please.
It's food for God's sake. Get over it Hollywood, Chicago and Boston.
Why is it called discrimination for a company that upholds christian beliefs on traditional marriage, yet not discrimination when the owner of the company and christians are called vulgar names, nasty rants, and the fuel for disgusting jokes by hollywood and the general public?
If Roseanne Barr ate more chicken then maybe she wouldn't be so fat. Who cares what these supposed celebrities think or say? I think I'll ban all their shows and movies and the advertisers on them. You know what? No one cares about that either. Dan Cathy has the right to feel how ever he wants. Lay off folks.
Good point. That's what gets me. No matter which side of the fence you are on – it is a free country. People are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. Wether it's personal or religious. So sick of all the "well they think this way" let's freak out and make a media circus out of it. People will believe what they believe – respect both sides of the fence and leave it alone already.

Isn't it interesting how the people screaming about a Christian, private business owner stating his personal religous beliefs, calling him "bigoted, discriminatory, anti -gay", etc… are the same people who rallied around the Muslims who wanted to build an "Islamic Cultural Center" a mere two blocks from the 9/11 attacks because opponents of the center were "infringing on the Muslims' religious beliefs and freedom of worship"? Remember that? Talk about hypocrisy… and I say this as a deist. To me, this is more of a freedom of speech issue than a religious one, and it's being attacked by not only a brainless mob, but the (brainless) government as well.
Does anyone posting here honestly care what some pampered, overpaid celebrity thinks? Me either. I also couldn't care less what the owner of Chic-Fil-A thinks of gays, or his religious beliefs, he's entitled to both, just as all of us are to our own. Opinions are like armpits, we all have them.

Well, that's news. Usually you see ads about fat ugly cows promoting Chick-fil-A!

Those are some real winners….
This whole debate is just gay.
I see Jon Stewart in that photo. What does he have to say about it?
Forgive them Father, for they are too stupid to know Your truths.
I think I will eat at Chick-fil-a tonight.
ahh.. the educated ( ask them ) , intellectual, ( ask them ) smarter than everyone else ( don't have to ask them, they'll tell you ad nauseum ) "liberals" in this country. So tolerant, so inclusive. And exactly what is wrong in America.
The ever tolerant left. Nothing new, hypocrites.
Jon Stewart is a pig and will always be a pig. He is a student of the pig that moved to an off shore radio station!
The so called "Celebrities" and I use that term loosely just need to shut the hell up. Why is it OK for these people to speak their opinion, But not Mr Cathy? They are just a bunch of liberal people that need to quit their crying. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone in this country. That's just life. Live with it.
who is Hollywood with out us? NOBODY! we make them…God have mercy on our nation.
by the way…my family just ate Chick-fil-A for lunch and it was so good…..thank you Jesus for some good 'ole chicken.
They sure aren't hurting for business. Caydance and I just ate at the one on 81 and they were busier than I have ever seen them!
thats is the one we went to and it was very busy..this isn't going to hurt them in any way,shape or form..wish they would build one in Belton
@Tracy Bate Gunter…no matter which Chick-Fil-A you go to, they are always busy…I live in Georgia and sit in line every morning just to get a Diet Dr. Pepper. Stand strong Chick-Fil-A (which of course I don't think you would ever bend your moral fortitude to the likes of a few gays!!! There are alot more Christians out there than gays and stupid celebrity's that have probably never tasted a Chick-Fil-A!!!)
Are you serious, well its nice to know where all these celebraties stand well actualy hide.
There is no such thing as "Gay Marriage." That would be like saying there's such thing as "Murder Marriage," "Thievery Marriage," or "Gluttony Marriage." Marriage was defined over 3000 years ago of being between a man and a woman. There is no such thing as Gay, only those living the Homosexual lifestyle. People make choices, and living the homosexual sin is a choice.
Those living the Homosexual lifestyle do not have the right to redefine what constitutes marriage. They can have their Civil Unions, or Lustful Liaisons, but "Gay Marriage" is any oxymoron and people need to respect the sanctity and holy matrimony in the definition of Marriage. Give them the tax breaks or whatever they're clamoring over. Don't discriminate against those living the Homosexual Sin, but also they shouldn't be allowed to call their actions marriage.
Just look at what Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said. Then look at what John Stewart and the Hollywood bunch all said. Mr. Cathy's words honor God while the nasty responses that came flying back at him are driven by people who honor the world's value…or worse. I 100% support Dan Cathy and his company. I'm proud of him for standing up for traditional marriage, even "out of season" and with what it may cost his company in sales. Then again, could be a surprise boost in sales from Christians. I'd go eat there if he had a restaurant near me!
Gerry, while I agree that vulgarity is poor way to express an opinion I believe in diversity and embracing other people's differences not criticizing them for who they are. Whether you are against those who are gay, black, old or heavy in weight, it is still discrimination and narrow-mindedness. It drives me nuts when the strong Christians believe that its their way or the highway to hell. I am disappointed and

Liberals preach tolerence but never practice it. Amazing how they feel that way towards people that disagree with them. Kinda like when they seem to have a problem with anyone making a lot of money ( except them selves. ) and they bite the hand that feeds them.
True.
Dan Cathy is as entitled to his personal opinion as are those who disagree with him. There has been no evidence found (and you can be sure his opponents have looked) of discrimination by his company against ANYONE in the running of his privately-owned business, whether hiring or serving people, so all the big mouths should just cool it. Side note to the moronic mayors who are huffing and puffing about keeping new Chick-Fil-A stores out of their cities…. is your economy so strong that you are willing to deny your unemployed citizens – gay and straight – the opportunity to find work?
Typical – standing up for what you believe to be biblical truth is called bigoted by the very people that are asking for tolerance. Can they be any more hypocritical? Ridiculous!
More discusting comments from the liberal progressive "Hollyweird" left, I give my full support for Chick-fil-A. This country is being ripped apart by Obama and his liberal minions one piece of legislation at a time.
This is all so stupid. America is falling to pieces and all this fuss about someones opinion about gay marriage! We have a lot of bigger problems to worry about.
Gays can certainly have co insurance, live together, and adopt children together. The owner of Chick fila is certainly entitled to his opinion on whether or not they can marry one another. I personally have a problem with a group of people that preach tolerance for anyone and everyone having no tolerance for a man speaking what he believes. Hypocritical?

Entitled to their own opinion! GOOD ON THEM! GOD WILL judge all sinners, not only "gays". I never met a "happy" "gay".
