I don’t understand why society has come to the point where we have to agree with each other on everything or we can’t be friends. Society didn’t embrace that level of stupid in the past.

Wait what, I had to google that Chik a fil is against same sex marriage, not sure how a corporate name can have an opinion on anything, it appears it was the COO who dropped this wisdom on us.
"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. ... We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized. "We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.
I suppose we can reverse your argument about why not accept food from a particular outlet (myself I would have no problem getting free food), why would a business not accept money because of who someone sleeps with?
My own take is not popular (well the sky fairy did give me ginger hair) can ALL religions please be consigned to the myth and fantasy section of books, none of them should hold the power to make people not tolerate someone else, yet they ALL do, maybe this means I end up in hell despite treating everyone in my life with respect and bringing my son up to do the same but because I am fair to Gays, my niece is lesbian and in a same sex relationship or becuase I had a child out of wedlock or even befreinded a divorcee I must be the spawn of satan, seems like tolerance is a lesson ALL religions could do with.

On one hand I feel the same way on the other I struggle with supporting a business that does not treat their employees fairly.

On the other hand, why should I give my money to a company that is spending at least some tiny fraction of that money to take away my civil rights?
And why would you care if I did so?
And why would it be "stupid, virtue signalling, weenie-assed pansy crap" for me to make that choice?

Chick-Fil-A corporate contributes to political efforts to take away the civil rights of LGBT+ Americans. The school choose not to recognize Chick-Fil-A because of this fact.
What's the problem?
Also, why should Mosques be required to host same-sex weddings? Churches aren't required to do so. Synagogues aren't.

It's my opinion, Scooter.
I'm "entitled" to it.
You're entitled to yours.
