Chick-fil-A With No Guilt!

[mikesilvia]

Love Chick-fil-A's sandwiches but hate the company president's stance against same-sex marriage? D.C. lawyer and activist Ted Frank is now offering a way for chicken-lovers...

^It was great to see these guys show up to demonstrate that their love should not be looked down upon because a silly book says so.

Just so I get this straight.

Gay people have a right to Freedom of Speech, but Christian business owners don't?

If you are for gay marriage you have a right to the constitution, but if you oppose gay marriage your business needs to be destroyed? Not saying you want to destroy a business, but there are politicians and far left working to destroy this company. Fascism is to silence the opposition and so far it appears the pro-gay marriage side are the fascists in this story.

Half of America is for gay marriage and half is against it. Both sides need to be respected.

Before everyone goes crazy on me 1) I'm an atheist and 2) I'm fine with gay marriage.

You can NOT be for freedom of speech ONLY when you agree. It's time for the pro-gay marriage crowd to realize that people opposed to gay marriage have a right to free speech.

NO, "Christian" business owners have freedom of speech as well, just like RACISTS have freedom of speech to say all the nonsense they say.

Besides, this is mostly to protest the fact that CFA gives profit money to anti-gay groups.

"The pro-gay marriage side are the fascists"?

Sure, just like the Anti-segregation side were the fascists in the 50s and 60s....Again, most people boycotting and protesting don't want to destroy anything...they want to send a MESSAGE!

No one is against freedom of speech, they're against the Anti-gay groups who use money to fight equality.....nobody cares if the idiot owner of CFA hates gays, they care that he's giving money from his business to fight equality.....it's that simple.

Anti-gay groups? So he funds people that go out and beat up gay people? Or is it that he fund pro-same sex marriage? I think a little research will show the latter.

Have you read the news where Democrat mayors are saying that Chick-fil-A is not allowed in their city? To silence a voice you disagree with is fascism. This is more about a Christian's freedom of speech than gay marriage. Why does one side get have all the freedom of speech privilages (gay marriage proponents) and the other side getting silenced hen they speak out? Why is one side harassing Chick-fil-A employees? One even got fired this week. Trying to stop gay marriage through legal means is not fascism. Trying to silence an opposing voice by a mayor is. Also, I find the Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's "evolution" funny. He worked for President Obama when our President was AGAINST gay marriage and did nothing. Now he say's Chick-fil-A is not welcome in Chicago. The man has no spine.

No one is against freedom of speech, they're against the Anti-gay groups who use money to fight equality.....nobody cares if the idiot owner of CFA hates gays, they care that he's giving money from his business to fight equality.....it's that simple.

There you go again. Please show me a link where the CFA President is doing anything illegal. You say Anti-Gay and the other side say pro-same sex marriage. It's a firm religious belief. He's not funding hate groups that are going around beating up homosexuals. He's funding groups that support same sex marriage. Also, I'd like to see a link that shows that he "hates gays." Back up your claims. His organization has one of the best employee equal rights rules in the business. He doesn't discriminate against his workers. He simply has a religious belief.

Want to attack some anti-gay, anti women folks? Look into the "honor killings" that go on in America. Those are the people Democrats should be going after, not pro-same sex marriage folks that don't break the law.

I love it. Gays have a kiss-in and suddenly they're against freedom of speech. That TOTALLY makes sense.

Nice harassment of a homeless Christian.

While there, a group formed around an elderly African-American homeless man, who was reading his bible while seated along a fence rail off to the side of the protest. Some in the group confronted the man, who was reading the bible aloud, and engaged him in theological debates. A few others took the opportunity to mock the man, which I captured on video:

It makes sense if you read all the things I post and not skim over them. Maybe you glossed over the part where Chick-fil-A was told they were not welcome in Boston, Chicago and other cities? Now mayors have the right to pull business permits that they disagree with politically?

This is the fascism of the left. Use your elected power to destroy other people's business that you disagree with politically and ensure that they are scared to speak out. Then harass homeless people reading a bible or innocent Chick-fil-A employees.

[JustAlex]

So, they got into a theological "debate" and a bunch of morons wrote stupid things on the ground.

This is what happens when you have high tensions.

BTW....if I were gay, my tolerance level for christians would probably be close to ZERO.

Are we going to go through this again? Until the day Chik-Fil-A is actually not allowed to move into those cities then you can use that. Until then it was just stupid comments (free speech) from people who don't have the right to do that. Stupid comments are protected by free speech too, you know. Not a single CFA has actually been denied in any of those cities, or maybe you glossed over that?

I'm not going to defend going after employees or customers, but step back and take a look:

CFA CEO makes comment.
Gay-rights activists don't like it, say they're going to boycott.
Right wingers claim the left is fighting freedom of speech and say that the left should shut up.

Think about that for a second. You're just as against free speech as they are. Plain and simple.
