August 1st, 2012. It's lunch time in Superior, Co. Chick FIl-A is a zoo. Cars wrap around the business and many patrons overflow out on to the lawn by a busy street.

Mike Huckabee's Support Chick Fil-A Day is in full swing.

Galen Harkness is a teacher in Denver. He supports Dan Cathy's statement of his beleifs, though it hard imagine that he's thrilled by the fifteen minute wait time for his "fast" food. "I don't think it's mean or hateful, or discriminatory...People who beleive in God--it's what they stand for."

Amy Austin is holding a large cup of water. She's there for a different reason. She saw a video on FaceBook that talked about a Bible passage, Proverbs 25 v. 21: If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink (KJV). She supports gay marriage, strongly. So, Amy, and presumably others around the country, contributed to a quiet protest by ordering water at Chick Fil-A's around the country.

Amy and Galen approach gay marraige with diametrically different conclusions. However, both call on the importance of civil dialogue in a time when the media pushes sensationalism.
