Playing Chicken with Gay Marriage

[mrveggieman]

So only when a CEO speaks his mind, it gets reproted and you disagree?

Is your messages that CEOs shouldn't speak?
No offense but I'm starting to see the conservative side of this.

Again CEOs like the chik fila guy, bill gates or anyone else can feel free to say whatever they like with fear of legal reprisals. However they must keep in mind that they are running a business that deals with the general public and the public does have every right not to support a company if they feel that their money is going to go to a cause that they do not agree with. Bottom line is money talks that other stuff walks.

If that was the truth they would be put through the hell that they are, its easy for us to deny it but you look at the whole big picture and it says otherwise.

what hell? who kids picking on kids being gay?

where are all these gay people getting put through hell at?

again, I hang around them on a regular basis, go to places with them, even vacation with them, I have never, ever, even once, seen anyone give them hell because they are gay, NEVER.

so what picture are you looking at? have you been with gays to see the hell?

again you are caught up with what others tell you and claim to look at the whole picture

It's not the boycott that bugs me, it's the protesting and trying to keep others to do the same. You don't want to spend your money there then fine but don't start telling others where the should and should not spend their money.

Back in the 1990s I went to high school with a gay guy. Most of the guys in the school did not like him. One day a buddy of mines had an altercation with him and beat the gay up pretty good. I guess that is why some gays keep their sexual preference to themselves.

You can't stop someone from spending his/her own money as he/she sees fit you can only spread the word.

By standing outside holding signs and yelling which many people do find intimidating enough to avoid it. This isn't let' show everyone how we feel it's been let's try to shut this place down and has been from the start.

On the cool I think that both sides of this issue made complete fools out of themself. Even though I am for free speech, the chik fil a guy made a poor business decision by putting his foot in his mouth and is now backtracking by saying that he will let the gov't decide on gay marriage. Hey chik fil a stick to what you are good with. On a side note I was wondering if chick fil a will still have the cows down at phillips areand for the atlanta dream games?

On the warm, I agree wholeheatedly and have been laughing at all of you for a solid week.

I agree that he made a bad business decision. That's not much of a backtrack though, does he have any choice but to let the government decide on gay marriage? Do fast food CEOs have the power to do otherwise?

veggie, you are talking about kids, kids will be mean to others over the type of clothes they wear, the house they live in and if their mom or dad is fat, they are kids!

so how a school age kid acts reflects all of adult america and is the whole picture?

And the sad part about it is that alot of those kids grow up to be hate mongers. We need to teach our children how to love and be tolerant of others not to hate others because of their race, religion or sexual preference.
