'Tastes Like Hate' Scrawled On SoCal Chick-fil-A

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — The culture war against Chick-fil-A has come to one of the chain's Southern California fast-foot restaurants.

"Tastes like hate" was scrawled on the side of a Chick-fil-A in Torrance early Friday as gay marriage supporters ramp up protests against the corporate owner's opposition to same-sex unions.

Torrance police Lt. Martin Vukotic says they are investigating the graffiti, which included a drawing of a cow. No one has been arrested.

The flap began last month when Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told a religious publication that the company backed "the biblical definition of a family."

Gay rights activists and same-sex marriage planned a same-sex "Kiss In" at Chick-fil-A restaurants on Friday.

Earlier this week, hundreds of thousands of customers showed their support for the restaurant during an "Appreciation Day."
