Oh the irony. Last time I checked, it wasn't discrimination to have an opinion about the way things should be, all the while offering your goods and services to anyone and everyone. There are no signs on the doors at CFA barring gays.Originally posted by Forever_frost View Post
It IS, however, discrimination to say "we don't like your values or opinions, GTFO of our city!"Comment

(CNSNews.com)- The President of the Coalition of African-American Pastors says supporters of traditional marriage are facing the same discrimination that blacks faced during the civil rights movement.
“Some people are saying because of the position that Chick-fil-A has taken - they don’t want them in their cities,” Rev. William Owens said at the National Press Club on Tuesday.
“It’s a disgrace. It’s the same thing that happened when I was marching for civil rights, when they didn’t want a black to come into their restaurant, they didn’t want us staying in their hotels. Now they’re saying, because we take a Christian position, they don’t want us in their cities.”
Owens continued, “Well, we won’t take it. We will stand up and they will learn, they will learn that they can’t do that to any people, by destroying religion, by destroying the family, we will stand up.”
CAAP held the conference to announce it’s “Mandate for Marriage” campaign, a nationwide effort to urge black voters to refrain from supporting President Barack Obama unless he retracts his support for gay marriage.
The restaurant chain Chick-fil-A became a focal point in the gay marriage debate after company president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press that the company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family.”
The comments fired up gay rights advocates and several lawmakers.
The Associated Presss reports a Chicago alderman vowed to block a Chick-fil-A proposed in his district, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel supported him, saying, "Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values." Boston Mayor Thomas Menino wrote in a letter to Cathy: "There is no place for discrimination on Boston's Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it."
Am I wrong for thinking these brothers want to protect their fried chicken?Comment

I think if anything, this helped CFA's bottom line (it wasn't hurting anyways) I was in hachie saturday and the line was probably longer than I have seen it in a while. Sure maybe it was just people were hungry and not paying attention to all this, but just shows it won't affect them.

There are plenty of people that don't watch the news, hell I get all of mine here, and occasionally at the gym when doing cardio. There are also a lot of people that agree with CFA values, and are there to support, this country was founded on Christianity. He didn't come out with some new or crazy ideal.Originally posted by Machx2 View Post
I would venture to bet that the gay community is miniscule, when compared to christians, and those that just don't care either way. For every one activist that is boycotting, there are 20 more willing to get their grub on.Comment

The people that support CFA or just flat out don't care will far out weigh the ones who want to boycott them.Comment
