Legally Blonde's BAILEY HANKS is a big Chick-fil-A fan!

[BwayJerry]

Apparently Bailey Hanks posted on Facebook and twitter on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day last week.

What happens when a Broadway Star supports Chick-fil-A?

Well, this has been the first time she's been mentioned for years.

[fingerlakessinger]

Whatever. She is a one note actress. Let this just hold her back even more.

Hailey Banks!

Upon responding that she was a “Proud Christian” and not responding to my questions regarding her support for a company that gave millions to anti-gay hate groups, she quickly blocked her public twitter feed.

This seems to be about the level of thinking that these people are capable of. That's pretty much what's happened to me with EVERY pro-"free speech"-Christian I've talked to in the past couple of weeks. No one wants to say, "I'm a homophobe because that's what my god tells me to be" yet that's the only answer there is.

After I moved into the apartment she had during LB, it took us a month to clean out the drains properly. Girlfriend might be a proud Christian but she's also NASTY.

A well written blog.

[ucjrdude902]

Who cares?

[Jordan Catalano]

JESUS CARES.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I kind of care, since she's part of the majority that thinks that they are supporting nothing but "free speech" by proudly buying and trumpeting the fact that they are eating this crap.

[Jordan Catalano]

I'm glad she got a brownie, though.

I was much sadder to see that Jennifer from Days of our Lives was into chick fil atio too.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

The same Jennifer from Days of Our Lives who quit the show in the 90s because she was a married woman sleeping with one of her married co-stars!

[Jordan Catalano]

Damn hypochristians.

I posted a version of the following on Facebook...

"You can't change these people by calling them haters, because they don't see it as hate. They see it as religion. And you just can't argue or shame people out of religion. I think what needs to happen is we stop arguing with these people and start focusing on the people who can help us.

I know tons of straight people who support marriage equality. The polls confirm that the majority of people now do. But we always get slammed in the votes. Why? Because many of the people who support us do so only in theory. They don't vote, they don't march, they don't speak out. If all the people who say we should have marriage equality actually took action/voted, we'd have equality already. Sitting in silent agreement is as good as being on the other side.

There are too few gays to make the change ourselves. We're only 10% of the population and only half probably vote. That will never get us anywhere. We need our straight allies to help!!!

Jordan, I am stealing that phrase.

[Jordan Catalano]

I wish I could say I invented it!

[Kad]

Whoever did gets 1,000 points from me.

[TheatreDiva90016]

And me!

She's in fine "celebrity" company... http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/celebrities-supporting-chick-fil-a (Big Boi from Outkast being a fan kinda did surprise me, isn't Andre 3000 pretty, umm, gay friendly?)

[tazber]

I hereby declare that Jordy's phrase which isn't really his becomes accepted terminology when referring to the concerend parties.

On a another note: who the hell is Bailey Hanks.

Granted I don't keep up with which actors are in touring productions but is she supposed to be somebody?

[winston89]

She played Elle Woods on Broadway via MTV's reality show, and hasn't done much (aside from regional productions of Legally Blonde) since. While this is not good news that people are supporting chick fill a, I hardly think that her being in favor of it qualifies as news. She was in one show via a reality casting process, it's not as if she has had multiple Broadway credits or Tonys to her name and is saying these things.

[adamgreer]

I've heard from numerous people involved with Legally Blonde that she was a terror to work with and often spoke out about how the business was "too sexual.".

That, coupled with her newfound support of Chick-Fil-Bigotry and her mid-level talent (I didn't think she was terrible in LB, I actually thought she was pretty good) makes me think she may not find much work in NY again.

Those pics of people proudly eating chick-fil-a are so upsetting to me. It's just a gleeful representation of something horribly ugly. Look, be a bigot if you want. I don't care. Eat at chick-fil-a if you want. I don't care. But to celebrate the denigration of human beings who are struggling to create a life and family of their own strikes me as the ugliest of human behavior.

God is good!!!!
