Guess it's the egg, not the chicken, that came first, and it's unfortunately all over the faces of the equality fighters attempting to help Chick-fil-A evolve.
Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno is trying his best to remain diplomatic but has obviously lost patience with Chick-fil-A in the wake of the fast food chain seemingly breaking the pro-LGBT contract he says they signed off on last week.

Following through on a promise they made in 2010, a group of San Francisco Bay Area Gold's Gym franchises have ended their contractual affiliation with their parent company, following payments made by the company's CEO to anti-LGBT conservative organizations.
They have now formed a new franchise group called Fitness SF.
Clearly, they understand that a gym with no gays is a church with no congregants.
More after the jump.

After a dispute nastier than Tom and Katie's, DirecTV and Viacom are officially no longer BFFs. Early Wednesday, the satellite cable provider dropped all Viacom channels (including Logo, Comedy Central and MTV), and RuPaul isn't having it.
Even though it's off-season, Momma went and opened the library for a special Olympics-worthy session of reading, darlings. Unlike RuPaul's glammed-up Ke$ha look circa 2009, it ain't pretty.
Follow the jump for the Logo crown jewel's demand for a rupology from DirecTV! For the unfortunately affected gay DirecTV subscribers, it might be the last look at Ru's ferociousness you get for awhile. Wah-wah.
