The One Voice Chorus of Charlotte,
North Carolina performed God Bless You Chick-Fil-A at its 2012
Holiday Show.
The whimsical melody, arranged by
Gerald Gurss, puts to music events from last summer, when the chicken
chain's CEO, Dan Cathy, called gay marriage supporters “arrogant,”
prompting boycotts and buycotts of the eateries.

Wednesday supports Dan Cathy's gay marriage opposition.)
“If you lined up all the restaurants
I've eaten at all my life. Golden arches, Dish the Pinkys, and every
other local dive. Then you gave me the choice of where I'd want to
eat today. It's a pretty tough decision, but it wouldn't be
Chick-Fil-A!”
Chorus: “And I'm proud to be a
homosexual where at least I know I'm free (except for certain
rights). And I won't forget the chicken that died who gave their
life for me. So I grab this sandwich, lust for it but put back down
on the tray. 'Cause there ain't no doubt, I won't support hate. God
Bless You Chick-Fil-A!”
“From the city of Atlanta to the
hills of Tennessee. Across the plains of Balantyne and up in
University. On Billboards all over Charlotte, those cows are
painting hate. But there's pride in this homosexual's heart and it's
time we stand and say.”
