Thousands came out to the Jefferson point chick-Fil-A Wednesday in support of Chick-Fil-A appreciation day--an event Nikki Fultz the director of fort Wayne pride took personally.

    "It was disheartening to see that we had so many people in our community  and across the nation coming out against what we felt like was an attack on our rights," said Fultz. 

 

    Same sex couples answered back by holding  kiss-ins at Chick-Fil-A's across the country. 

 

    "A lot of people talked about free speech on Wednesday's demonstration and we are looking at it as more of an attack on our rights," said Fultz. 

 

    Fort Wayne pride didn't promote the kiss-in--partly because Fultz thinks there are bigger issues the gay community is facing.

 

    "I know there will be some people throughout the community that might partake in that--we think that it's a better idea to go out and do something positive with our time and impact people that are helping the gay community instead of people that are hurting it," said Fultz.   

 

    Those who supported chick-Fil-A on Wednesday say they have no problem with the kiss-ins.

 

    " if same sex couples are kissing in public my reaction is the same with opposite sex couples kissing in public...it's kind of like ok move on i don't have a problem one way or another," said Joseph Jetmore. 

 

    It's unknown what's next in the chick-fil-a controversy--but so far, both sides have had the freedom, and taken the opportunity, to express their views.
