    They use religion as an excuse for their bigotry.

    You think you can just tell lies and we are supposed to believe it? You think no one has ever been there before? LOL, top rated fast food, 4 years in a row. I will think of you, next time I eat there.

    Hobby Lobby. What business it of yours if the giver their employees Sunday off? Every manufacturing business in the country is closed Sunday. Alot of businesses are closed sundays. And your trying to push your antireligious views on them. Sorry there is no neutral position every one is shoving their version of morality at every one else.

    This is true, but as I understand it, still very hard to get a franchise.

    What are your "right kind"? Or are you just making yet another post claiming anyone on the right is a racist?

    I get it. You were naturally attracted to women. Just like people who are gay are naturally attracted to the same sex.

    Good, so then we will go to firing people over wearing religious artifacts to work (disruption of the workforce) or not being available on certain days plus taxing all church income.

    Deal?

    No such thing as natural attraction to the same sex..

    And as i have said over and over and over.
    It's not about attraction, it's about how you act on it.
    Thousands of people are attracted to younger people and never act on it because they know it's wrong..

    He has already admitted he could make himself be attracted to men so he is a bisexual, is likely the reason he is struggling to understand how it’s not a choice to many.

    He also indicated he could choose to be attracted to children...
    Which is worrisome

    Church income has already been taxed.
    Plus churches turn around snd use that money to better their communities and do a hell of a lot better job than government programs.

    But if you want to tax churches, I'd suggest all not for profit businesses get the same treatment because non profits are all religious, they just worship other things.

    You are confusing sexual attraction especially romantic attraction with sexual action.

    All income has already been taxed but churches are the only organizations that do not have to prove their status. They don’t have to even file.

    You want equality, let’s do it

    Your post has inspired me to get some Chick Fil-a asap.

    Here's the best part-your lame boycotts have precisely the opposite of your intended effect.

    I can link the post where he said it in if you would like?

    I don’t think you understand what that term means

    Here is the deal. NOBODY drags you into a church synagogue or mosque. If you don't want chicken for dinner, good for you. Stay away. As for the rest of us, we will enjoy delicious food 6 days per week for you see, Chick-fil-A gives their employees a day off per week to do what they wish. Atheists always amaze me for their selfishness.
    BTW the pettiness of the godless alt-lefties has done nothing but increase the business at Chick-fil-A as they are now #3 fast food business in the country. Imagine where they would be with food served seven days.
    Have a nice day, I'm going for Spicy Deluxe Sandwich.

    Boycott as much as possible. Doing so is a foundation of capitalism.

    Protest as much as possible. Doing so is a foundation of democracy.

    The 'Chick Fil-A' law in texas was a necessary response to government employees and civil servants undermining both of the aforementioned dynamics by using their authority illigitimately to manipulate the market with discriminatory regulation. The government does not have the right to discriminate. Government employees can discriminate at a personal level with their personal market participation, but using their power of office to do so is fundamentally authoritarian and undemocratic. It undermines the voice of The People.
