Remember 2012 when the Chick-Fil-A fast-food chain became synonymous for anti-gay bigotry because the company's president Dan Cathy and the corporation's charitable wing kept giving money to anti-marriage equality organizations and ex-gay groups? (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) Church groups were lining down the street so that they could order a chicken sandwich and support the right to oppose gay families. Eventually it died down. Those same groups may still frequent Chick-Fil-A, but no longer as a collective and gay families like my own were reminded over and over in no uncertain terms that the business really didn't want our business.
Earlier this week, Marvel Comics released CABLE AND X-FORCE #3. Cable is the time-displaced son of X-Men's Cyclops and X-Force is a bunch of mutant heroes who woke up on the wrong-side of the public-trust.

That's right. People who eat at Chick-Fil-A... I mean, Eat-More will turn into giant homicidal creatures before eventually keeling over and dying. We also learned in this issue that Eat-More's president and CEO hates mutants like Cable and the X-Men and publicly supports organizations that work to limit the rights of mutants in our society.
The big question at the end of this story is whether X-Force's efforts will prevent Cable's futuristic visions -- or fulfill them. Either way, grab yourself a chicken sandwich with waffle-fries and curl up to enjoy the latest issue of CABLE & X-FORCE.
