Houston restaurant lampoons Chick-fil-A with ‘chick-on-chick’ sandwich

Chick-fil-A has been joined in the realm of restaurants espousing their opinions about same-sex marriage.

In Houston, a local eatery called Beaver’s has added a tongue-in-cheek offering to its menu in support of gay mariage in the form of a sandwich loaded with chicken and double entendre. The name of that meal: the chick-on-chick sandwich.

The Beaver’s menu describes the sandwich—the creation of owner and chef Monica Pope, who is gay— as containing, ”two loving chicken breasts married on toasty buns with a honey mustard witness and joined in celebration with tolerant fries.” Appropriately, the sandwich debuted on Friday, which also happened to be National Same-Sex Kiss Day where gay and lesbain activists staged kiss-ins at Chick-fil-A’s nationwide to protest the chain’s owner’s intolerance toward gay marriage.

...to the chick on chick on the menu, will get the message across, offend the hell out of the bigots, and leave them WITHOUT anything concrete to express their offense against.

to combat bigotry, homophobia etc.

Turn their argument into a good enough joke that everyone remembers takes their weapons away from them!
