Okay, it's nice that Dan Cathy has softened up to gay people, but how much will it reverse the attitude of the Chick-Fil-A culture he had such a large role in shaping?

Nowhere. Some will say Matthew 19:5 does, but that's not what the verse was addressing. None of the Gospels have anything about sexuality. The Pauline letters address it, but as most of us know, the word Paul uses gets translated to homosexuality, but can also mean sodomy, and was usually applied to male prostitues and pederasts.

They are delicious, but that doesn't really make it acceptable to contribute to the torture of billions of them, does it?

I was more just being an ass because I thought the douche level of that post was far too high.

As for your question, no it's not, but I doubt I'll stop anytime soon -- far too lazy and selfish.

Understandable. I also had similar sentiments to your own not long ago, but I would urge you to reconsider. It's almost 40 years old, but Animal Liberation is still a relevant and important read. A newer book (although one that is still 10 years old) that is generally on the mark is Animals Like Us, and it's one that I would personally recommend.
