Chic-fil-A Anti-gay?

I'm not supporting that anti-gay BS. You want it, you buy it.

 

They donate to anti-gay organizations which promote prejudice and hatred of the GLBT community. http://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/chickfila.asp

They may not oppress within their own company (and most likely because of the laws we have in place) but they certainly promote oppression and hate outside of their workplace by donating to such organizations.

 

two thumbs up for Boston mayor

their business practices are fine. The issue here is the gay movement does not like opposing view points and seek to silence free speech of those who disagree with them.

We are not talking about racial or sexual discrimination here. We're talking about how a certain group engages in intercourse and look at the political hacks pandering to that group. Boycotts are fine and I will be joining a buycott just like I did for whole foods when he spoke out against obamacare.

But, to deny a business license to a company because a man simply doesn't much care for how some people have sex is not supported by any Constitution or law that I'm aware. Punishment is being doled out because of a man's thoughts as well as his voicing his thoughts...........is this America??????????

If the guy said that he thinks every male should diddle other men we'd have cheering in this forum sub section and they would be outraged if cities denied business permits because of it

 

I'm not one to agree with the mayor on this, both sides are wrong in their respective actions but the mayor's overdoing it.

 

No, not really. They are shooting themselves in the foot for nothing.

No, it isn't about 'silencing' anyone... it is about facing the CONSEQUENCES of views expressed. I wish they would say something LESS inhumane, but I don't see any reason to gag them.

No "sexual" discrimination? Really? (Explain.)

That's just silliness.

I say that there should be no tolerance of people discriminating against homosexuals. The time for tolerating anti-gay bigotry is ending, right before our eyes.

More bigotry and homophobia. I personally think you should not say the kind of thing you just did. If a business wants to "diddle" in politics... then the COST is theirs to bear.

I don't think that is all true. Even so, Chic-fil-A should not discriminate as they do. It was BOUND to cost them something.

 

Show me proof that CFA is discriminating against gays? Or against anyone. There is no discrimination, there is no lawsuit claiming discrimination. CFA follows all laws including EEOC and hiring.

It seems the owners have a personal belief that tolerates gays but do not approve of the gay lifestyle. There is a difference.

If you don't like the owners beliefs, thats fine with me. Boycott them if you want to.

But don't run around claiming the company Chic-Fil-A discriminates because as far as I can tell, it does not (if you have proof they do, then lets see it).

 

Hard not to notice that the words "equality", "liberty", and "freedom" have taken on conotations of selectivity in recent years.

 

How does Chick Fil A's owner not approving of gay marriage mean that Chick Fil A is "discriminating against gays"...

...anymore than an Ivy league professor being an atheist mean that the university is "discriminating against Christians"?

 

The company itself may not be, but the owner still receives our money through sales at his corporation and he donates a portion of the money from his sales to anti-gay organizations. By boycotting the company and not supporting them we are also not funding the owner's pockets and ultimately the prejudiced and hateful organizations he supports.

 

Jim Henson Company severs ties with Chick-Fil-A now too.

Exactly.

 

Thats fine.

But some are claiming the company is discriminating and that is the reason they are boycotting or complaining.

I guess it makes it sound better to accuse a company rather than admit its an individual persons belief that bothers some people.

 

It is no different that when a certain celebrity says/does something, which turns opinion AGAINST them. They may be the greatest actor or sportsman... but offend a large block of the public and their fortune is affected.

C-f-A is famous and POPULAR for its food... people don't appreciate a bunch of anti-homosexual rhetoric being associated with the same. I'm pretty sure, this will ultimately COST them a significant amount of money. (And I would be happy about that.)

That is reality.

 

Johny, the reactions, and false accusations from some of the "representatives" of the gay community are also in the public eye. The truth is that Dan Cathy simply stated his opposition to gay marriage, which is his moral and democratic right. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as absolutely bad publicity. There will be many citizens who see through the distortions of those purporting to represent the gay community.

 

You could apply the same logic to nearly any publicly traded company. At least a few of the shareholders are going to use part of the money they get to support organizations you dislike. Sometimes when buying from public companies you are actually directly supporting those organizations yourself, since many of them hold stock portfolios.

Unless you never spend, save or invest money, you are indirectly supporting organizations you dislike.

 

Can't label CF anti-gay. I'm sure gay people can eat there. Liberals getting their bully on, again.

 

Johnny, again the militant gay movement has shot themselves in the foot. Answer this honestly; do you think a business who serves and hires gays should be denied a permit because the CEO does not like gay marriage? That requires a yes or no reply


because the gay movement likes what Boston and Chicago pols said, I and others will now patronize Chic Fil A.

This once again portrays the 1.7% in a negative fashion. It's high time that you understand that more than just gay people have freedom of speech.

Liberals are the most pathetic intolerant group on the face of this planet.

 

So what's your point? Is it; don't bother voicing your opinion over companies that openly state they want to deny civil rights to an entire group of people because you'll just be indirectly supporting evil anyways?

 

They already ARE taking on that label (if inadvertently). If you don't believe that, open your eyes and ears.

 

One does not have to be "militant" to see that C-f-A has associated their brand with what is bigoted. The public IS reacting to that, and they ARE receiving the very type of publicity which can and likely will affect their bottom line.

The proportion of people who are homosexual in this nation is significant and so are the number of people who SUPPORT them.

That is reality.

 

Great point. And it is the robot-minded bigotry of some which allows many to remain oppressed in this world. I'll be fighting against that; thank you very much.

C-f-A should not complain, that negative attention is surely coming their way.

I think it is time for a BETTER company to sell chicken sandwiches.

 

as i provided a survey in another thread yes, the number is significant at 1.7%

again, lack of tolerance by liberals. Chik Fil A has now won over a new customer. I will support any place which is the target of those who want to silence free speech

so the CEO doesn't much like gay marriage; big whoop. But, the gay movement is in a lather over this.

 

Nobody wants to silence their right to free speech. They can speak out against the GLBT community all they want to. But if you think the rest of society should just sit here and not respond to their commentary with their own right to free speech then you are sorely mistaken.

 

knock yourself out. You can have your boycott all that you want. I am now a regular customer to Chik Fil A for no other reason than the militant gays wanting to deny free speech
