Chick-fil-A Anti-Gay Controversy: Gay Employees Speak Out

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Have I or anyone else come out in defense of what the mayor of Boston has said? Nope. Do they represent all 'libruls?' Nope. Was he being stupid? Yep. End of that argument.

Now back to the absurdity of those who came out to CFA's across the country in support of the COO's merely expressing his opinion. If the chairman of a company came out and publicly stated that he believed that White people made this country and are the superior race, would you support him making his opinion public? And if there was a Black mayor somewhere in the country who said he would do anything in his power to prevent that company from opening up in his city, would you say he's going too far? I think for you as well as many, you easily dismiss the plight of gay people and don't see that they are in a long struggle for civil rights. No one in this country should be excluded based on race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation.

No matter how many times I say you refuse to hear it. I am very pro gay rights and think gays should be afforded any privilege extended by the government to heterosexuals. I do not agree with Mr. cathy.

If the Charmian of some company said he believed whites were the master race, yes I would support his right to have an opinion as long as his company did not violate any discrimination laws. Yes I would oppose any black mayor who tried to ban that company from his city because he did not like his opinion.

It is not any elected persons job to use their office to regulate free speech.

It was not absurd at all to support Chick-Fil_A I would do the same for Ben and Jerry's if some RWNJ Mayor tried to ban them for supporting those idiotic filthy hippie ####### law breaking ecstasy /acid dropping lazy hippie occupier movement scum.

First, there is a difference between social morals and private morals. Right Wing Fundamentalists tend to focus on private morals while ignoring social morals and liberals focus on social morals (like civil rights for all) and for the most part, believe private morals should be left up to the individual.

FTW, Cathy has given money from CFA to organizations that have fought politically against gay rights. In fact, CFA only supports gay rights such as benefits for domestic partners in states where such rights are protected by law. Gay activists have plenty of ammunition in boycotting CFA, even if I personally think the boycott has caused more divisiveness rather than make any political point.

My take on all this is that I would rather live in a country where people may say they are against same-sex marriage, than in one where they must.

Why don't you explain to us what that brilliant post... actually means.

I mean if you take out the gay-theme and insert, oh I don't know Techno-music.... it shows how silly it is.

I thought it was quite obvious what it meant. Sorry you need an explanation.

Well I do agree Obama's economy is about to wreck the nation, your right about that. However fast food jobs are easy to get.

Tell that to a lot of the folks on this board who can't even get fast food jobs once they emigrate. The 'Finding Work in America' forum is rife with them. Probably does depend some on where you live and it's unemployment rate, but I do think to say they're 'easy to get' across the board is inaccurate.
