    I don't think many gays eat at Chic-Fil-E anyways. I mean. The gays that I know tend to be the really health nutty kind. Chic-fil-e is some of the worst food you can eat health wise. It's worse than mcdonalds.

    about Ben and Jerrys- they are a VT based company and nothing more need be said (peoples socialist republic of vt)

    about Menino, what a clown. Chic Fil A is denying service to nobody nor are they denying employment to anyone.

    The CEO simply does not believe in making new rules based upon how one engages in sex. If the gay movement wants to have a gaycott then we'll have a buycott. I'm not really a fan of Chic Fil A but they do have tasty milkshakes so I'll buy a round or 2 for the family

    1.7% vs the rest of the country. Me thinks the numbers are not in their favor

    pure faux outrage and much ado over nothing

    it's not a sin, it's just an abomination.

    what's the difference? sins hurt other people, abominations just hurt the person doing it. just saying.

    I have two gay friends at work.
    One is male, one female.
    Both are fond of piling into cars with the gang at lunchtime, and heading off-post to grab lunch (instead of heating up leftovers or whatever).
    I do recall having enjoyed some Chik-fil-a with them on more than one occasion.

    I will be sure to ask them if they intend to boycott Chik-fil-a now.
    Will get back with you on that.

    Whatever....What's your point? If a guy comes out against gay marriage it's his right to do so. Who are you or anybody else to tell him how to run his business? If you don't like his attitude then don't by his chicken. Simple as that. Use your head...Unless a gay is a 'flamer' no one would know or even care if they walk into a chic-Fil-A and by a drumstick. Why don't you just chill.

    A sin is anything that goes against God and God's plan.

    So be it, there are consequences.

    I'm a potential customer, one of millions who may never buy his products again. That's who I am.

    I'll cause whatever effect I can, to counter his stance against homosexual people; that is what I'll do.

    Yeah, you keep thinking it is "simple"; I know better than that.

    Not in the way yo prefer... but I surely will, as I always have.

    What does that have to do with anything? A 'flamer' should be discriminated against?

    Please, your mindset is as homophobic as C-f-A's. :(

    I think you should know why, by now. I say, the louder right now, the better.

    I've always wondered, I know that Christians do not follow the Mosaic laws, but I thought the ten commandments were still "in effect" as far as they were concerned. Since Sunday is NOT the Sabbath, but the "Lord's day", what about that commandment to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy? I mean, God still rested on that day, whether you're Jewish or Christian, right?

    Yep....Is Chic-Fil-A out of business due to lack of customers?

    I would buy chicken from a recognizable gay, a bisexual, etc. I have no prejudice against their opinions even if they state it publicly. I recognize their 1st amendment right. Chicken is chicken, if it tastes good who cares what the private opinion of the person selling it is? Some folks need to grow up and stop whining.

    As the Marine said to the over-zealous soldier "Do you really want to die on this hill?" I mean really Johnny, I wouldn't care if it was found out that Col Sanders was gay, I still would buy KFC.

    Better than what? We're talking about CHICKEN here. The guy is selling CHICKEN. He happens to be against gay marriage...so what? Like I said if you have a hard-on against him DON'T BUY HIS CHICKEN. Like I said I wouldn't do that to a homosexual. If the CHICKEN is good who cares?

    And YOU have every right NOT to buy his Chicken and advocate for others NOT to buy his chicken...I just think it's pretty silly.

    My point is that just because the guy is against gay marriage does not mean he would refuse service to anybody and most of the time who cares if a customer is gay are straight? If they have the $$$$ they get the chicken. I'm against gay marriage but have done work for gays and they always PAID me. They were nice folks I have absolutely nothing against gays. I do think that in this day and age the guy was pretty stupid to come out in public against gay marriage but, he will have to suffer the consequences from people like you. If there are enough people like you his business will suffer.

    I said no one would care if a customer is gay or not. How is that 'homophobic?'

    OK and that is your right, I just made a suggestion that you chill a bit that's all. I notice that you take the time to click 'dislike' for all of my posts and you are the ONLY one to do that. Just between you and me, I already KNOW you 'dislike' my posts....LOL

    And God's plan is for us to love Him and one another. Homosexuality doesn't go against that at all.

    You are wrong. You come to your own conclusions because it fits what YOU want to be the case.

    One can love others as fellow human beings but not love their actions.

    Most Christians consider Sunday to be the Sabbath. It has nothing to do with Christ. There are several sects that still consider Satuday to be the sabbath and the call sunday Lord's Day to celebrate christ, but that is not the case for most sects.

    So he will lose money for having convictions that don't agree with those of pro-gay marriage people. I really don't think that will bother him. He chooses to not be open Sundays. That costs him a lot more than the lose of a few customers who don't like his anti-gay marriage stance. Besides, Chick-Fil-A is basically a southern company and people there don't feel the same as those in the liberal north and west coasts.

    Please cite where Jesus overturns the ancient ban on homosexuality.

    "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" Luke 6:46

    How about the fact that he gives money to a "charitable foundation" to fight against marriage equality?

    Does he take a tax deductin on that? Are we thus partly subsidizing his actions through a tax break?

    If so, why so?

    (This is also something to look into the next time somebody starts bragging about how much right-wingers donate to "charity.")

    Bigots probably should be watched and likely guarded against at gunpoint.

    I do likewise. I'm not a biblical literalist... nor do I buy each and every interpretation Christians claim to be "truth".

    And the Golden Rule (actually practiced) tend to be superior to just about every religious text I have ever read/considered.
