NEW WEBSITE LETS YOU DONATE CHICK-FIL-A SANDWICH COST TO SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE

A group of LGBT activists and web designers was inspired by Chick-fil-A’s anti-gay donations and decided to put a hate-free, calorie-free spin on the concept.

Hence BurgerRiot.com, a new website that lets users choose from a “Donations Menu.” For example, pick Chick-fil-A’s famous chicken sandwich for $6.99, then upgrade your order with some “Riot Fries” and an ice cream.

Total calorie count? Zero. The orders are just symbolic. All the money will be donated to support LGBT organizations and equal rights. 

“We are raising money to support marriage equality by asking people to donate the cost of a burger (or chicken sandwich) from the online (fictitious) restaurant BurgerRiot,” says Wes Ashell, one of the founders of the initiative.

“While they’re eating chicken, we’re making a difference!”

A friend chicken sandwich that’s actually good for you.

Nice re-framing of the conversation, much more constructive. Subversive even.
