And furthermore I find it funny that people who are boycotting chic-fil-a are actually holding a fast food est. to higher moral standard than they do our own president. :?
:fp:
what is that supposed to mean anyway??
how is the president in favor of discriminating against gay people and how is he in favor of preventing them from getting the same civil rights that all of the rest of us take for granted??
Just read this on the BBC. :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: ... I really like a lot of Americans and all, and love traveling there, and there are tons of great people, so no offense (not like Canada doesn't have its own problems... not in this matter, but still), but oh my GOD am I glad I don't live there. My head would explode from frustration I think. I couldn't handle the political and social climate... I can't even really handle it NOW, and I don't even live in it. But good for the guy in New Hampshire I THINK. Actually I'm not quite clear on what his stance really is. If he thinks that you can show respect and tout dignity for gays and still stand against gay marriage, he's wrong.
I bet they only hire heterosexuals though... I'm sure you have to be straight to work there. I really don't see the difference. In fact, it's worse.
...
The thing is... we don't know. And if they DO discriminate against Gays, they cannot ask if someone is gay or not.... that is against the law and they will have to face the consequences.
...
I'm all for Gay Marriage rights. I am against local governments trying to impose penalties on people's legitimate business, because of their owner's opinions. Just as I would be against a local government restricting permits for a legitimate business whose owner supports Gay Marriage.
...
As for the Chik-a-fil thng... if people want to boycott or support them, for whatever opinion they have, fine. I just think this thing has gotten way overblown... mostly BECAUSE of the boycotts and protests and the politicians raised it to a higher level by trying to restrict access to them as a business.
I'm not for any penalties from the government either. I've already said that history will judge these fuckers harshly, and that civil rights take time.... was anyone suggesting that the government intervene?? If so, I didn't see that post.
I don't think this has been overblown though. It think shit like this SHOULD be made into a big deal. It brings attention to the issue - it is part of the fight for civil rights. Ignoring this kind of thing is what allows the bigotry to continue. This kind of thing should always be called out and rallied against IMO. The issue needs to stay in the forefront; not be swept under the rug. People need to stay mad and aware I think. The FIGHT needs to be as pronounced as possible. Change will not happen over time if people just keep it nicey-nice.
I absolutely agree that it has not been overblown. And let's be clear, this is not the first time that people have made a concerted effort to stop eating at CFA because of their beliefs. While Cathy and everyone else who supports an anti-gay marriage stance has every right to state their opinion (just as I do) what is wrong with this whole thing is the fact that they send money to hate groups. CFA has supported the Family Research Council which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. That is not ok with me.
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
I could be wrong in my interpretation, but sexual orientation is definitely not explicitly stated there.
...
Thanx for posting that.

They are also leaving themselves open for lawsuits if they ask certain interview questions, such as, 'Are you Gay?'. It's best not to ask certain questions that open doors to legal actions. The same reason you'd be leaving yourself open if you ask a woman if she is planning on becoming pregnant, soon... or what religion are you.
You can be turned down for a job for any reason... but, don't make it easy for applicants to sue you.

I suppose their best defense is a good Gaydar. If you can't ask, then you have to guess... I guess. I know, some people are obvious, like Richard Simmons, Ryan Seacrest and Rick Santorum... but, most look just like reg'lur everyday Joe's and Janes.

He never said he would deny someone thats gay the right to eat or work at his est. . I mean hey, Muslims dont believe in Gay marriage. Hell in some countries gays are murdered IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

I think that's just bullshit. Free speech doesn't mean that people should stand by and allow people to spread hate, bigotry, and intolerance in the name of religion. And I bet this wouldn't be going over the same way for folks if it was some business going public with their feelings about what crap "Christian values" are or the Pro-Choice movement. So hypocritical! The people are HIDING behind this story about free speech. And I think it is absolute garbage to hide behind "religious beliefs" here. If this were an issue of a business claiming they were against women working or something in the name of religion, or anything else this is bigoted and hateful, this crap would not fly. Well, this situation is NO different. But for some reason Christians can't fathom that their so-called religious beliefs when it comes to gays are actually the propagation of hate.

Exactly.
Also, I've never heard of a Muslim business within North America going public with their feelings on the matter as a way of taking a stand against it. As mentioned before, it's not the personal feelings of individuals that is the issue here (even though that in itself is terrible). It's the fact that they went public specifically in order to take a public stand against gay marriage. This was absolutely a socio-political move; if it wasn't, he wouldn't have gone public with it. And now bigoted republicans are complaining about liberals making the same move in protest?? Wtf? I could face-palm all day about this one!

I DO have all the facts (it's not exactly a complicated matter). And I am not going to chill, because I feel REALLY strongly about this issue, and I don't think it's an issue to chill out about, and I won't apologize for that. Being against gay marriage is hate. Again, Christians and others against gay marriage simply can't seem to wrap their brains around the fact that a stance against gay marriage is a profound statement of discrimination towards gays. It drives me nuts that they all try to downplay the gravity of that position.

I mentioned the Family Research Council earlier which is the organization that I was referencing. And I have read the Constitution - where does it support hate speech? I am saying that his monetary support of the Family Research Council is equivalent to supporting/promoting hate speech.

Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
He didn't go public nor did he give some kind of press conference. This is what he said in an interview.
On July 16, Dan Cathy, 59 years old, was asked in an interview by the Baptist Press, a news service of the Southern Baptist Convention, whether he opposed gay marriage. "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit," he said. "We are a family owned business, a family led business, and we are married to our first wives.…We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families." The Cathy's are Southern Baptists.
:roll: You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. So what you want him to go to prison and loose his company ? Would that make you happy ? You guys are sick and really need to think about what your saying. I guess than again if you have been indoctrinated starting in the 4th grade than there's probably no help for you.
And furthermore I find it funny that people who are boycotting chic-fil-a are actually holding a fast food est. to higher moral standard than they do our own president. :?
:fp:
what is that supposed to mean anyway??
how is the president in favor of discriminating against gay people and how is he in favor of preventing them from getting the same civil rights that all of the rest of us take for granted??

no, you said it, i am asking you to clarify exactly what it is you are saying.
and you did not answer my question.

What organizatons are refering to ? And furthermore you need to read the constitution. And I can think of several organizations that people like George Soros gives to and all they do is traffic in Hate speech.And you can start with media matters.
I mentioned the Family Research Council earlier which is the organization that I was referencing. And I have read the Constitution - where does it support hate speech? I am saying that his monetary support of the Family Research Council is equivalent to supporting/promoting hate speech.
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
I AM MINE
:roll: You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. So what you want him to go to prison and loose his company ? Would that make you happy ? You guys are sick and really need to think about what your saying. I guess than again if you have been indoctrinated starting in the 4th grade than there's probably no help for you.
and you did not answer my question.
how is the president in favor of discriminating against gay people and how is he in favor of preventing them from getting the same civil rights that all of the rest of us take for granted??
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
gay people getting married does not and will not effect your marriage in any way, shape or form.

GOG... or MAGOG?
"Son of man, direct your face towards Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince, leader of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him. Say: Thus said the Lord: Behold, I am against you, Gog, the prince, leader of Meshech and Tubal."

You just doomed us... thanx.
Hail, Hail!!!
They are not supporting freedom of speech. They are against gay marriage and went because the president is as well. If the president had said he was for gay marriage those same people would be boycotting the place.
I disagree. If you are for restricting the rights of adults who love eachother how is that not hating or bigotry?
based on today's lines at the houston chick filas i would not be surprised for some copycat southern business's to emulate and make a quick buck off the sheeple.
