I think we're missing each other here. Please break down your version of causes and effects because I'm not getting how they are all that different than mine.

Here's how I understand it.

1. Dan Cathy spouts off to a Baptist website.
2. Same-sex marriage advocates expose Cathy's remarks and use them to remind people of Chick-fil-a continued relationship with groups opposed to same-sex marriage rights and renew calls for boycott.
3. A couple of politicians make perhaps ill considered statements about blocking Chick-fil-a expansion in new markets based on the corporations beliefs about same-sex marriage.
4. Chick-fil-a fans don't like the reaction.
5. Huckabee suggests Chick-fil-a appreciation day.
6. Same sex marriage advocates suggest the Kiss In in addition to the boycott as a public response to August 1st.
7. 8/1 Chick-fil-a customers come out in droves to support CFA because they feel it's under attack.
8. We'll see what happens tomorrow
