Dear Chic-Fil-A I will be dinning at your establishments the next chance I get. Not because I agree with your stance, but because I believe you have a right to that stance. I have no issue with gay marriage/unions, simply because they are none of my business, but I also find it ironic that a group that wants to be accepted for their way of life, chooses to work so hard to berate you for yours. I often hear from the gay/lesbian community "how does my happiness affect your life," and I completely agree with that, but how does someone that believes in traditional marriage affect the life of a gay couple? If Chic-Fil-A had said that they didn't want gay people in their establishments, i'd be onboard with the boycott, but they simply said they were a private business and what the beliefs of their family are, which is their right. In far more important news, thank god for the coming rain.
In early 2011, Chick-fil-A came under fire for its donations and political ties to a number of anti-gay groups. Though Chick-fil-A continues to deny supporting an anti-gay agenda, the company has donated over $3 million to organizations like the Family Research Council and Exodus International between 2003 and 2009. And in 2010 alone, Chick-fil-A donated over $1.9 million to anti-gay causes, more than any other year for which public records are available.

what the hell are you talking about? I have never seen that.
I'm a firm agressor on it guy, and I can't really call myself a christian because I have a large anger problem.
But if people get all cocky in my face because I don't believe the same crap as them, there is gonna be some retaliation. Bar none. And I know many folks who do the same thing. Some times ignorance needs to get stomped down.
Being a "homosexual" is not ok how I see it. Thats my belief. But I don't persecute them on the streets (physically or mentally or threaten them) I don't care WHAT they do. Get married, I don't give a F**K.
And I'm sure most christians don't really care either. Do your own thing. (but if God is real, and the Bible is right, well then...)
If Chick Fil A wants to say they don't support gay marriage... whats the damn harm in that? Whats the big deal.
If your a gay, go be gay.
Chick Fil A is not going to arrest you in your sleep for being a homosexual!? NOT EVERY ONE IS GOING TO AGREE WITH THE HOMOSEXUALS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM!!!!!!

And starbucks is owned by Jewish folk who donate millions of dollars so that the Isreali government can steal other peoples land and homes and kill thousands of innocent people every year and displace millions over the years
yet NOT ONE government official is telling them they cannot do business in any town in American, even though there are Americans who disagree wtih this and boycott their businesses....
IF the government did so, I would speak out! Why, because it is wrong for the government to do! If people want to boycott they can, if people want to speak against it they can.... but government officials cannot prevent them from doing business in any town in America!

I don't dispute that religions do single out homosexuals. That's not being debated really. Should they be forced to change their religious beliefs? It's the same argument about abortion.

Indeed, here is a link to the incident There are also numerous threads on ATS covering this wonderful love pumping pastor.

Where you been!?
In Iraq and Afghanistan. How bout you?
I'm a firm agressor on it guy, and I can't really call myself a christian because I have a large anger problem.
Yeah, id be pretty embarrassed to call myself christian considering what they've been getting up to for the past 2000 years...
-ya... I can dig that. There are some that are extreme... like Muslims...
But if people get all cocky in my face because I don't believe the same crap as them, there is gonna be some retaliation. Bar none. And I know many folks who do the same thing. Some times ignorance needs to get stomped down.
Dont you just hate it when someone makes a sign about how homosexuality is wrong and puts its in your line of sight? Its annoying to have to deal with that ignorance.
-If you read the part closely, "all cocky in my FACE".
We are through internet, If we were standing face to face.. things would be different.
Being a "homosexual" is not ok how I see it. Thats my belief. But I don't persecute them on the streets (physically or mentally or threaten them) I don't care WHAT they do. Get married, I don't give a F**K.
By all means have your beliefs
-
And I'm sure most christians don't really care either. Do your own thing. (but if God is real, and the Bible is right, well then...)
This site is proof of how many christians oppose marriage rights for gays. God isnt real, the bible isnt right, so...
-Prove God is not real and make your case bold. (ya can't)
If you could, NOBODY would believe in God if the evidence was there.
If Chick Fil A wants to say they don't support gay marriage... whats the damn harm in that? Whats the big deal.
And the elected mayor for boston is saying they dont support Chic-fil-a-bigot, whats the harm in that?
-No harm, just telling all you pro homosexuals out there to relax.
If your a gay, go be gay.
Didnt realise i needed permission
-You may need permission soon enough!!
Chick Fil A is not going to arrest you in your sleep for being a homosexual!? NOT EVERY ONE IS GOING TO AGREE WITH THE HOMOSEXUALS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM!!!!!!
And not everyone is going to agree with christians and YOU CANT MAKE THEM!!!
-Touche.
I like how you repeat damn near everything I say.

Chick Fil A should give him the finger, and simply say "cool, we will take our jobs and tax revenue and go to a city that embraces the idea of different opinions".
SO much for the leftists wanting diversity....they only want diversity when it matches their beliefs.
