Chick Fil-A Day!

[Mussoliniopoli]

Don't call it marriage. You can call it something else. Marriage = Man + Woman

If homosexuals wish to live together... well... get the latin dictionaries! We need to come up with a new word. Also, if pro-gay people are mad at Chick-Fil-A, they should just not eat there. We don't need to propose government bans or anything...

Marriage is a government sanctioned relationship. It is not bound to Man + Woman.

Shhh you ruined the surprise.

I wonder how many "bigots" at Chick-fil-a today would say that Ben and Jerry's is a good ice cream brand. Truth is, they probably are supporting the first amendment rather than the "Traditional Marriage" side.

That would make sense.....if there had been any violation of the first amendment.

Moreover, there is the issue that Chick Fil-A is opposed to the First Amendment.

OK good, that's the first step. Now back up the assertion by giving me the public record of their donation, rather than them saying its there.

Because, Open Secrets, which is balanced, reports none of those things on a search for Chick-Fil-A.

EqualityMatters is certainly biased, but it also gives complete sourcing for its review of IRS forms. They could be legally punished heavily if they were to lie about IRS forms this blatantly. I doubt it is complete BS. http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201207020001

They can lie about things in the public record, they just can't lie in their tax returns. They can also, as they're proving, quote mine and twist like it's 1999.

Compared to what the Huffington post received third-hand, these groups don't actually seem so bad. I don't see "force all gays out of the country" even on EqualityMatters.

Chick Fil-A efforts of opposing Same Sex Marriage and Gay Rights.

Constitutionally, Gay Marriage is not protected by the first amendment. Until SCOTUS rules otherwise, it does not protect gay marriage.

More like 14th amendment, equal protection clause, as just about every court that has been allowed to see the issue has ruled.

Religious Freedom and Separation of Church and State is in the First Amendment, the outlawing gay marriage is an affront to the First Amendment.

The fourteenth amendment does, though.

Pretty much. The 14th makes this entire ranting a non-issue by the Bigoted Christian Right who also railed about keeping Darkies in shit schools and away from their white women.

Your saying all people opposed to the blacks then were right winged?
I beat some were lefties.

No. By hating black people, they would automatically be non-progressive.

The claim that the government is shutting down Chick-fil-a restaurants strikes me as complete bullshit.

" City officials in Boston and Chicago vowed to block the restaurant from opening new locations in their cities."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa ... bled=false

I would guess that was what was being referenced.

Blocking permits to allow something to open is not the same thing as shutting down an existing business.

I feel like countering.
But I won't.

[Tekania]

It warms my heart and brings a single tear to my eye, this outpouring of support for bigotry and discrimination...

I'm about to go stand in line for hours in order to buy some CFA... I support gay rights very much. I just don't support boycotting a private company for their views unless they are much farther out of mainstream. Otherwise I would never be able to own a business ever in my right-wing town.

Odd, I support people's rights t boycott businesses for any reason they like.

Can I be threatened for something you evil forum empress ?

A Chicago alderman wants to kick them out.

It's pretty well within his power to call them on anything and everything he can find. You'd be surprised at how many permits you find yourself needing when you piss in an alderman's cereal.

Thus far his one condition is "Put your anti-discrimination policy into writing."

Moreno said he’s willing to reconsider if the company publicly – in writing – promises not to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

My personal opinion on the matter is that people should either boycott, or not... it's their choice.... but don't bring your political shit to the employees. Just because you may like the fact that Dan Cathy is a fag-hating twat, that does not mean the employee will appreciate your stupid queer-joke.... and just because you hate Dan Cathy because he's a homophobic twat, does not mean that employee (who themselves may be homosexual) will appreciate being classed a rigth-wing Christian extremist.

He who has no sin be the person to cast the first stone. Those who live by the law shall die by the law. We go by what is generally accepted in society. Only he who is the creator has the power to destroy both body and soul. The choice is for individuals to make subject to what is generally accepted in society. Morally speaking, if same sex is contrary to christain beliefs, does it give one the right of power to pass judgement? This topic of same sex should NOT be and issue at this point in time. Our focus instead should be on how to create equal opportunity for physical and spiritual welfare of our citizens.
