I went today too and it was my first time eating there as well. It was extremely crowded even though it wasn't at a peak meal time, with two drive through lines wrapping around the building twice and a line out the door. The staff was wonderful, helpful and cheery on what was a grueling hot day, taking orders outside in the hot sun and serving people in impressive time. I was definitely impressed with their food and I will be back as much as my waistline will allow.
For me it all came down to free speech too. No matter how I feel about gay marriage, when the Chicago, SF and Boston mayors started blustering about Chick-Fil-a not being welcome in their towns because their political and religious beliefs differed from their own, that's when I decided to get involved. It repulsed me, and I was glad to see that even the ACLU recognized the issue.
