Chick-fil-a

Didn't get a chance to, but would have if my hubby and I had the time.

My personal opinion is that the head of Chick-fil-a is entitled to his opinion as his right of free speech in the USA.


Whether I agree or disagree with his opinion should have no bearing where his company can or can not do business.


People can choose whether or not they want to go to one of their stores for themselves.


The last time I checked I still live in the United States of America where I can speak and chose for myself freely

Absolutely!

a silly issue

God bless the people who stood up for freedom of speech.  Unfortunately the left/far-left doesn't believe in it except for themselves.  No one else has a right to a opinion if it disagrees with them.

What a crock of theist fertilizer. Apparently, those xtian fundies who espouse such prejudicial nonsense don't include opposition to it under that same "freedom of speech".

No one's freedom of speech was ever in danger!  The CEO was not in legal jeopardy for what he said. Refusing to do business with a bigot is not violating free speech, it is exercising capitalism.

I have seen less on hiring issues and more on gays should not be allowed to marry. I was stating my opinion on the latter issue. Which I have now done and will move on.

The context of this thread had more to do with a company having discriminatory fundamentalist xtian hiring/employment practices than to do with gays marrying ...

No it doesn't.

Freedom of speech is neither one-sided nor includes discrimination of the basis of religion.

Love the person; hate the sin.
In the beginning, God created man and woman. .....not woman and woman or man and man.

I was reading from a reliable source, Mike Adams of Natural News, that Chic Fil A's food is unhealthy and contain MSG.

I know this forum is freedom of speech but we as people should show respect in what we post. The comment about getting a kick out of balck people not supporting gay rights because people lines up to fight for us was unnecessary. No one should be dicriminated against for any reason. In the beginning there was Adam and Eve, man and woman. There was not man and man nor woman and woman. If people want to be bisexual thats their choice and like any other choice we make in life we have to deal with them. Regardless they should be treated with respect just as anyone else. So lets not make race a factor in this.
