   A group of gay Democrats got their feathers ruffled after a   
   Florida county decided to hold voter registration drives at   
   local Chick-fil-A restaurants.   
      
   The Stonewall Democrats seem to think the Pinellas County   
   Supervisor of Elections’ office is targeting Republican-leaning   
   voters.

   Conservatives!   
      
   Here's their rationale -- Chick-fil-A is owned by a Christian   
   family. And they run their business with Christian values.   
      
   So the gay Democrats seem to think that only conservative   
   Christians eat fried chicken and drink sweet tea.   
      
   It’s hard to believe such ignorant dunderheads exist.   
      
   “As an elected official, you have a duty to be evenhanded and   
   fair,” wrote Susan McGrath in a letter obtained by Creative   
   Loafing.   
      
   Ms. McGrath is the head of the Pinellas County Democratic   
   Executive Committee and the Stonewall Democrats, a pro-LGBT   
   equality group.   
      
   “Surely, you and your office staff do understand that using   
   Chick-fil-A as the base for voter registration activities is not   
   only inherently unfair but overtly partisan as well.”   
      
   The only thing unfair about Chick-fil-A is you can’t get a   
   chicken biscuit past 10:30 a.m. eastern time. That - and they   
   stopped selling their delicious coleslaw.   
      
   “This company has a strong and well-understood history of anti-   
   LGBT activism and is publicly associated with Republican Party   
   values,” McGrath wrote.   
      
   I still don’t understand why the LGBT militants have such a   
   problem with a plump juicy chicken breast tucked between two hot   
   buttered buns.   
      
   She went on to accuse Chick-fil-A of being a “right-leaning   
   business” and she alleged the voter registration efforts were   
   “targeting Republican-leaning voters.”   
      
   What in the name of Colonel Sanders is this lady talking about?   
   It sounds like she’s been smoking some of those eleven herbs and   
   spices.   
      
   I know, I know. Different chicken joint – but humor me.   
      
   For the record, Chick-fil-A is not about the left wing or the   
   right wing. It's about the chicken thing. And the sweet tea.
