Gay rights advocates plan kiss protest at Chick-fil-A restaurants

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chick-fil-A could be in for another big day Friday.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is encouraging people to go to the restaurant for National Same-Sex Kiss Day.

Thousands of people flooded the restaurants Wednesday after former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee declared it Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.

Executives said they set a new sales record.

The chain came under fire after its president took a stance against gay marriage.

The organization started a Facebook page for the event.
