    Comparing the two is unbelievably f***** stupid. You should be ashamed for suggesting that.


    I eat there with my lesbian friends all the time, maybe you should avoid eating at places that trigger wild suggestions.

    Would changing the bird make a difference?

    We laugh at hysterical opinions and hyperbolic, hair on fire references to ISIS...does that count? Because such opinions are comedy gold. Are the upper management throwing gays off the Chic Fil A rooftops? LOL :roflol:

    They're ok but not as good as Royal Farms or Popeyes. I stopped going there because I can't take the Jesus Music they play all the time

    Hey, that's their right. It's called FREE enterprise, and that means people are free to NOT patronize you for any reason, or no reason at all.

    I'm sorry, but using your example I don't see how gay marriage devalues hetero marriage the same way that counterfeit devalues legitimate currency. Or are you referring to the inflation that occurs - but what does that have to do with marriage. I suppose your example is a flip response, but it didn't answer my initial questions and I don't see the parallel.

    If you accept any kind of union as a marriage it automatically devalues actual marriages.

    Gay consumers have the perfect right to boycott this franchise because of the personal views of its owner but those views break no laws and are protected by the first amendment. The person who professes them does not refuse to serve gay patrons or condone violence of gays. He expresses his religious views which are insulting to gays and offensive to gays or people like me who support gays but its his right.

    I do not speak for gays. I would openly challenge the founder of the franchise if asked but its not breaking any laws at this time.

    New York Democrats are attempting to stop a plan to open Chick-fil-A restaurants at rest stops along a state thruway, claiming that the fast-food franchise has a history of discriminating against LGBT people.
    If the owners of the Chick-fil-A bought the property on where they want to put their restaurants, It's their right to do so. I don't see any problem with that.

    If "supporting traditional marriage" means opposing same-sex marriage, you are opposing the LGBT folks.

    Who the hell in their right mind would try to ascertain folks' sexual preferences so they could refuse them service? (Yeah, I know there are idiots...)

    Their stupid boycotts didn't work, so now they're resorting to political bullying to cancel their "enemies".

    I understand what you are trying to say, but what I don't understand is what is actually devalued in hetero marriages? Do people not feel the same way about being married? Do people no longer want to get married? What actual damage is being done that 'devalues' it? I'm asking sincerely - not trying a 'gotcha'.

    Like you say probably not unless someone would be stupid enough to put up anti gay stuff in displays in the specific franchise which would also damned stupid.

    No that is your simplistic incorrect projected opinion of what you think the argument is. Gay people and their supporters like me respect heterosexual marriages no diferentvthan same sex marriages. We do not care what you support. Call same sex marriages illegitimate then we challenge you calling same sex marriages illegitimate. Why do you not ask us instead of telling us what we think.

    I believe and support any consenting adult's right to get married. I do not put down either.

    No its not right there. Where does it say those New York Democrats are gay or they are acting on the request of gay people?

    Where did I say they were?

    I don't care what their sexual alignment is, the fact is they're trying to use political power to shut down chicken joints.

    If you don't like a company's values or actions, don't patronize them.

    Is that not good enough? Do you really have to go and crybully them out of business?

    There is a very angry subset in the community who feelz like they can dictate corporate behaviors to satisfy their pejorative agenda. Most of the rest of us enjoy the Chic, and couldn't care less what the corp does, or doesn't do to support the community. Funny thing is, that most of the most historical of this group are the least tolerant, and frankly demand that only their views are respected. It's pretty pathetic.
