![]() True, which is why this is a gender equality issue and not a sexuality issue.

There are some posters that are so disgustingly dishonest around here that I don’t think anybody takes them seriously. No. “Gay ‘rights’ advocates” typically DO NOT support the Chicago mayor’s actions. · We’ve had a couple threads on here talking about it. I can’t think of a single liberal poster here who has expressed support for keeping Chick-fil-A out of Chicago. But, I don’t expect you to be honest enough to admit that. ![]() · An example of another popular liberal who thinks the Chicago mayor is in the wrong. Jon Stewart Criticizes Anti-Chick-Fil-A Mayors After Appreciation Day Backlash (VIDEO) So, you can keep on with your stupid lies because that’s your first amendment right to ignore the truth. I’ll keep on countering them.

![]() Read the OP, the gay rights group congratulates Alderman Moreno for his had work forging the agreement with Chick-a-Filete. The restaurant chain had to prostrate themselves before the altar of Rambo's Chicago "values" to open new stores in the city. Surely an advocate of free speech regardless of the content being agreeable ought to condemn this instance of government political coercion.
It is not an analysis based on guessing what other people think it is based on what they say and do. |

Just because somebody thanks them for changing their policy DOES NOT mean that every action that anybody took to try to get the policy changed was thanked. Quote:
And changing your mind on something IS NOT a violation of free speech. The reality is that the Chicago mayor is just one piece of a LARGER objection to Chick-fil-A's position. But the Chicago mayor's actions are the ones you want to latch onto and fixate on. If I were to follow the same tactic, I would insist on talking about Fred Phelps' comments about gays, to try to fixate on that instead of the millions of other people who have less volatile attitudes towards gays. Quote:
Quit LYING. It's just that simple. Quote:
As I have already pointed out, we've ALREADY HAD THREADS on this where liberal posters condemned the Chicago mayor's statements left and right. Quit LYING. Quote:
I can list a variety of atrocious anti-gay groups. INCLUDING ones that Chick-fil-A gave money to, but people like you don't give a damn about that. ![]() But I would not presume to stereo-type their views onto just anybody who opposed gay marriage. ![]() Quote:
Or would I be correct in recognizing this is yet another bullspit claim you sprinkle into your routine posting that is devoid of truth?

You condemn the mayor's announcement banning Chick-a-Filet from expanding but are comfortable with the Alderman holding city permits hostage to Chick-a-Filet signing this proclamation affirming their commitment to the Chicago values the mayor spoke about. Conditioning government services on adopting what the government considers acceptable political values is the opposite of free speech. Given Chicago's well deserved history of political corruption and the mayor appointing himself the guatdian of "values" it is naive to pretend the Alderman wasn't acting as the enforcer abusing his office to extract this agreement. I never attacked the gay "rights" group for their beliefs. My criticism is of the common tactic of ignoring the corruption of the process as long as it produces the desired result. You validate this assertion by ignoring the issue of the Alderman's encroaching on free speech while repeatedly calling me a liar. The rant about Fred Phelps is a nice bit of hyperbole. Is he a mayor or alderman of a major US city? No, he is a private citizen entitled to express his opinion and to lobby our government for redress of grievences. Or, does that only apply if he supports policies agreeable to you? |

If you can think of any exception to that, please provide the quote from the person involved... Quote:
Your sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. So you seriously understand I condemn his announcement... ... but then you LIE and pretend I am comfortable with the actions enforcing the announcement??? ![]() At this stage, you're not even trying to make your lies believable. Quote:
