![]() From a first amendment perspective, I do not care one way or the other. The company and high-ranking officials are free to do as they please, as long as said actions are legal.
From a gay rights supporter and perspective, good for them. Chick-Fil-A Agrees To Cease Funding To Anti-Gay Organizations, Chicago LGBT Group Claims Quote:

Second, by throwing public tantrums and using thuggery against productive, ethical and harmless people with whom they disagree, they've inspired still greater resistance to their cause. Third, their antics inspired a homicidal freak to storm the offices of the highly regarded organization that so terrifies them, resulting in the shooting of an employee.

Oh, for crying out loud! The gunman, a 'gay rights activist," had a backpack full of Chick-fil-A sandwiches. It was a response to the hysterical inability of the gay "rights" movement's members in general to accept rejection.

![]() It's not "equal". ![]() You didn't even try to address my statement. It's 100% right. Gays can't marry? Oftencold thinks that's equal. Gays can marry? By the same stunted logic, it would be "equal" as well... Quote:
It presumes that a shared position between John and Mark somehow makes Mark responsible for John's actions. Yes. The shooter had overlapping ideals. But that doesn't make the Chick-fil-A boycott responsible for this nut. ![]() By that mentality, Christianity is responsible for abortion clinic bombers. ![]()

![]() Despite the right-wing spin and the occasional left-wing loud-mouth who tries his own left-wing spin, this has not been about them JUST supporting gay marriage. ![]() It's been pointed out over and over again. And if people think RATIONALLY about it, they would realize this pretense is bull%@#$. There are a LOT MORE companies out there than just Chick-fil-a which support "traditional marriage" which are untouched... ![]() Chick-fil-a was doing something ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST putting money towards "traditional marriage" campaigns. To repeat... 1) Chick-fil-A has donated at least $5 million to organizations (including a certified hate group) that, among other things, depict gay people as pedophiles, want to make "gay behavior" illegal, and even say gay people should be "exported" out of America.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-...b_1725237.html Now if Chick-fil-a is going to continue this crap, then that's something to take notice of. ![]() If Chick-fil-a is dialing it down and JUST donating to traditional marriage groups, then that's something most on the left can live with. Also, I can't help but notice some EGREGIOUS malarkey in their statement: Quote:

![]() Chick-A-Filet-A signed an agreement after the Chicago mayor and former OA chief of staff announced he was eschewing the First Amendment in favor of his declaration of Chicago values. Denying a private business a permit to operate within the city because they hold different views on gay marriage ought to prompt condemnation from gay marriage advocates because it is the same freedom that allows them their advocacy.
But no, to gay "rights" advocates the ends always justify the means including discarding the Constitution. Never mind that applying a political litmus test to granting a business license opens the door to government coercion accross a broad spectrum of regulation, the important thing is the advancement of gay marriage. |
