Gay rights activists are planning to hold a "National Same-Sex Kiss Day" at Chick-fil-A on Friday, just on the heels of Wednesday's event where throngs of people showed their support for the restaurant's president who expressed opposition to gay rights.

Same-sex couples are expected to arrive at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country to kiss in protest and then post videos or photos of themselves on social media websites, according to CNN.

"Let's show Chick-fil-A thanks for their support of Love, Equality, and the Real Definition of Marriage," said organizers on their Facebook page.

CNN reports that the controversy started when president and COO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, appeared in an interview with The Baptist Press on July 16, in which he said their business is "very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit."
