Chic-fil-A Anti-gay?

I would not say that you are totally wrong or anything; I'd just say that there is a lot we don't really know yet.

What I don't think they can calculate for (in reality), is how they may ultimately stigmatize their own organization. A certain twist of fate, is all it will take to accomplish a change in how the public views them.

Then again, there is also the reality that what organizations like that do, is FUEL the resolve of people like myself to take action wherever possible... in the very fight we are well aware must take place. That is, C-f-A merely serves as a 'marker' or 'identifier' within the cause/movement.

The struggle will continue, nevertheless.

 

Homosexuals aren't just the ones to contend, there are many homosexual lovers like as friends and stuff and liberals in general are on their team so its alot more than 4 percent business.

there stock is going to sell, shareholders will be angry

 

Yep. Unintended consequences are always lurking.

 

agreed, throwing silliness into people's faces does have consequences; just look at the votes in states over "gay marriage"

if you think some kind of "gaycott" is going to affect chic fil a then you are sadly mistaken.

What 2 people do in their bedrooms is not important to people in their daily lives. Frankly, most just say do what you want and don't give it another thought. It's not any more my business who you diddle than it is your business who I diddle

But, if a "gaycott" is launched I assure you that a buycott will be launched because once again, people get sick and tired of strong arm tactics of liberal groups

 

You are laughable!!! If we disagree, we just won't go there. Unlike the haters who have boycotted Ford, Disney World, JC Penny,etc. Cry babies!!!

 

You think that it won't have some effect? And (at first) the effect does NOT have to be 'financial'. Do you think that homosexual people are absolutely powerless? (They aren't.)

For most, it isn't about what "people do in their bedrooms", it is about simply "being" (homosexual). So, while there is a LOUD and visible element to the millions of people that are homosexual, there is also the quiet element that is gradually becoming more affective within this society. It's no secret; yet it is a movement, making progress.

Do you have figures for that? I'm certain what you say is true at all.

It's about 'sex' for some... but not for all. Being homosexual is a greater part of the equation... than having sex itself.

I think that the effect of what C-f-A announced, will make itself known over a relatively large period of time. As homosexuality becomes more and more accepted, if they (C-f-A) are remembered for what they pronounced just recently... then it will likely affect them all the more. If they KEEP reminding people, then I think the effects for them will become exponentially worse over time.

So, in essence... I don't see some massive loss for C-f-A all at once, but I do (over time) see some erosion of their financial gains... especially if they persist in reminding the public of their homophobia and bigotry.

 

The problem for many corporations who decide to cater to the 'Right' so exclusively, is that they don't have perfect ways of measuring the unintended consequences of doing so.

As I said before, I think that C-f-A and other corporations will feel the effects over a longer period of time, than they are concerned with right now.

Also, there are other fast-food chains, who serve to benefit from what C-f-A has stated recently; but it will take time for numbers to prove it.

We'll see.

 

Made up nonsense. Homosexuality is a human invention.

 

The 1,500 species of animals that have exhibited homosexuality vehemently disagree with you.

 

1: All big corpeorations play politics.

2: I don't think they'll miss your 'hundreds' of dollars.

3: I'm sure that there are lots of other places that are more friendly to gay folks...you should patronize them.

Besides...we all know gays don't eat fried chicken...they're a very thin people.

 

No, they have merely exibited homosexual behavior. Last example I recall on the forum

Except, the female birds dont engage in sex with each other and continue to have sex exclusively with males. This isnt homosexuality, a purely human invention. It is nothing more than what could be described as homosexual behavior, even though it doesnt even involve sex.

 

Does ignorance hurt??

 

Since the vast majority of the human population is NOT homosexual I thin Chic-Fil-A is in no real danger of losing much business with that policy.

 

You cannot actually know that this position and future ones taken by C-f-A, will not affect the corporation significantly... in due time.

We'll see.

 

A significant portion of the human population is (and will be) "homosexual". You can try to ignore that, and I will actually thank you for the same.

 

And your source that proves that they are inbred idiots?

 

What a business does with their money is entirely up to them as long as it's not illegal. And this really isn't that big a deal considering all the places that do support different political ideologies. To call someone stupid or evil just because it doesn't line up with your thought process shows a lack of reasoning and maturity on your part. The world is just to diverse for everyone to agree on the same matters. Now I don't fault or criticize anyone who boycotts them but at least be an adult about it.

 

I'll ignore your homosexual postings if you stop posting them.

 

Mmmm, Chic-fil-A is sounding good right now. Finally a company with enough integrity to take a stance which wasn't force-fed to them by political correctness. I will make it a point to eat there more often, just to help counteract any gay boycotts.

 

Notr sure, the bible says the sabbath is saturday.

 

no it doesn't. That's the thing with you folk, you don't study the bible enough to really know what it says.


Mumbles Menino the mayor of boston has said he's going to fire off a letter to the Chick-fil-a hq to let them know how he feels about the whole situation. I'm sure everyone cares. He's also said that he'll make it difficult perhaps for them to get business licenses in Boston. I don't know why they'd want to go to that hellhole in the first place. I wonder if Menino is as hardnosed about ben and jerry's who make no bones in supporting every perversion that comes down the pike.

 

According to the OT, the Sabbath is saturday, the 7th day. it was moved to sunday by christians to seperate Christianity from judaism. Many Christian sects, such as the Orthadox Catholics still celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday. They do not g to church, since the bible clearly says not to leave home on the Sabbath, and on Sunday, they celebrate the "Lord's Day" on which they go to church.

 

yep, they could donate millions to a hate group if they want, course the public is free to criticize them for such actions too


.

 

the bible teaches that you should be stoned for picking up sticks on Sunday, so I assume if one believes the bible, they would not want to do anything that could be considered "work" on a Sunday
