Jon Stewart Bites Into Chick-Fil-A Debate: ‘Gay Marriage Is Happening’
Jon Stewart had a few choice words to say about “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day,” including a few foul innuendoes…
And the end, Stewart says:
“For people who are gay or support gay marriage, I get how seeing thousands of people come out to make this statement is incredibly disheartening, but take solace in this: Gay marriage is happening,” Stewart said. “Like many drive-through window lanes, it ain’t going backwards. And your bonus is this: You get gay marriage, and all your political opponents are going to get is Type 2 Diabetes. Here’s my prediction: In ten years, America will have a lot more gay marriage and a lot more Chick-fil-A restaurants because they are both quality products.”
And while Stewart didn’t really get all the details right — “it all started two weeks ago…” and saying it’s a First Amendment issue (it’s not) — he makes some totally valid claims.
