This shot was taken at the Trinity Chick-fil-A yesterday, Aug. 1.

As Chick-fil-A finds itself in the center of an ongoing controversy over marriage, supporters of the eatery lined up yesterday to show their appreciation.

Throughout the Tampa Bay area and in many other parts of the country, people turned out in droves to patronize the embattled restaurant. Whether they came to show their support for freedom of speech, traditional marriage or just to get a crispy chicken sandwich with a pickle wasn’t always clear.

As Chick-fil-A proponents turned out in droves, others opted to boycott the establishment to show their support for same-sex marriage.

What do you think about the hoopla surrounding Chick-fil-A? Did you go to the South Tampa store yesterday? If so, what were the lines like? Share your thoughts in the comments section. You can also add any photos you took of the lines or protests right to this story.

We too supported Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, along with a HUGE number of other individuals. "They" can argue all they want about the issue, but there's a lot more of "us" than there are of "them", and Wednesday resoundingly proved that.
