Gays might not be able to bite into a hate-fried Chicken-fil-A sandwich guilt-free, but at least we can sink into the couch with a bowl of General Mills cereal and watch a marathon of The Office without feeling anything (except maybe lazy).

Star of the show (as well as The Hangover) announced publicly that he will no longer eat at the fast food chain due to its biblical war against the LGBT community.

Follow the jump to watch the JC Penney spots that didn't kill one billion undead heterosexual Christian babies and didn't make the breasts of god-fearing women explode after watching (or whatever that wackjob at the American Family Association foretold).

Updated Monday, 3:45 P.M. (PST):

A few eyebrows were raised last week when it was discovered that TOMS shoes founder Blake Mycoskie recently appeared and spoke at a Focus On The Family event in Southern California. After all, TOMS was believed by many to be a pretty progressive company with a large gay following. But after a web uproar, Mycoskie is changing his tune. Read what he has to say now—and now how Focus is responding to Mycoskie—after the jump.

As if its members need any more fast food, the wackjobs at the American Family Association have started a "buy-cott" that instructs Jesus-loving homophobes to eat as much of Chick-fil-a's fried chicken as possible. Watch the anti-gay hate group's video plea, after the jump.

Considering the year long controversy, you'd think Target would want to at least appear to be trying to get back within our good gay graces. But, nope—a marriage equality group that canvassed Target shoppers outside San Diego, CA stores is being sued by the retailer.

Last month we spread word that Donald Trump, thriced married himself, is flat out against "gay marriage."

Last week the business mogul revealed that he's even against anything resembling marriage benefits (medical, civil benefits) for same-sex couples.

In light of Trump's bigotry (whether it's authentic or manufactured to pander to the extreme right ahead of a possible 2012 presidential run), New York-based activist Allen Roskoff thinks we should be boycotting all of Trump's business interests, including advertisers from the new season of Celebrity Apprentice, which premiered Sunday.
