Several dozen LGBT activists and allies crossed the road to the Pompano Beach Chick-fil-A franchise, in support of National Same-Sex Kiss Day, which was organized as a counter-demonstration to Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. The latter event was encouraged by GOP pastor/ politician Mike Huckabee as a way to mobilize the traditionalist base to support a company—in this case, the 66-yearold chicken chain and its founders, the Southern Baptist Cathy clan—that opens its checkbook for conservative causes.

Organizers of the Same-Sex Kiss Day say their event was set up before Huckabee’s open-mouthed offering to the poultry purveyors, who LGBT activists claim have ponyed-up more than $5 million to support a radical right-wing political agenda.
