Good news from the Washington Times:
Indiana University at South Bend will resume its use of Chick-fil-A’s campus services on Wednesday after suspending the restaurant chain over its plans to provide free lunches for a Pennsylvania conference on traditional marriage.
The restaurant’s services on IUSB’s campus have featured Chick-fil-A meals with the famous chicken sandwiches and milkshakes every Wednesday at two dining locations: the Courtside Cafe and the Grille.
But the restaurant chain, known nationally as a family-held Christian business that does not open on Sundays, was barred late last month at the demand of Campus Ally Network, a pro-gay campus group.
“Last week, Chancellor [Una Mae] Reck ordered a review of the suspension. The review was completed today, and based on a more complete understanding of the facts, Chancellor Reck ordered the end of the suspension. At this time, Chick-fil-A is a full-service food provider for IU South Bend with no restrictions,” said Ken Bairl, IUSB’s director of communications and marketing in a written statement.
Hopefully we can now all go back to enjoying our "chikin" again!

Free food gets a suspension? If they give out coupons must they wear a dunce cap? Good grief.
Dakota Voice: Recently, homosexuals have attacked Chick-Fil-A for supporting pro-family groups and events. They are calling for boycotts, banning the business from college campuses and labeling the owner and business as anti-gay. Some have ridiculed the business, calling it “Jesus Chicken.” Says Bishop Jackson, “This is further proof of the insidious and dangerous hatred by homosexual activists of any Christian who dares try to live out their biblical values. The problem in society today is not hatred of homosexuals, but hatred by homosexuals of anyone who refuses to say ‘amen’ to their sexual behavior.”
Typical low down tactics. If you don't have facts to support you, then try personal destruction. Where's the respect? You'd think they'd be interesting in winning hearts not alienating them.
Gay boycott = radical homosexual intimidation.
Christian boycott = taking their business elsewhere.
(Please google for the Christian boycotts of businesses such as Home Depot, Sony, Disney, AT&T, Businesses that pulled funding from the Boy Scouts, CVS Pharmacy, K-Mart, Levi-Straus, PBS, The United Way)
There's one minor difference between the 'homosexual boycott' and the 'christian boycott' though. The 'homosexual boycott' is against companies that actively seek to take away rights from them. The 'christian boycott' is against companies that merely believe in everyone having equal rights, even if it goes against their biblical teachings (because who is to say their biblical teachings are more correct than another ones teaching in a country that is not a theocracy?).
michael, I have never heard of a more biased and loaded analysis in my life. The right to have marriage redefined to suit a sexual preference does not exist and can be found nowhere in the Constitution. Gay activists are motivated by the delusion that rights are defined by anything that they arbitrarily declare. Which is a rather egocentric notion.
