Muppets owner Lisa Henson severs ties with Chick-Fil-A over SSM

Really now...IS it their fault? I mean...every 'reason' given is IDENTICAL to those given by homosexuals...yet...LOOK at you just jumping out and judging people. And before Redress jumps out with his SAME tired rhetoric, lets be VERY clear on who dragged pedophiles into the argument.

Oh so your equating homosexuality with pedophilia now?

Because every reason given is NOT IDENTICAL to that.

I think you may be onto something. If gays and lesbians continue to boycott things for being straight or religious, and the religious boycott anything to do with being gay then we can all be nicely segregated from each other which is secretely what the gay community wants. /sarcasm.

They way to bring people together is not to drive them further apart.

Tell that to the chicken restaurant.
 
You damn one side's actions while you absolve the other side of responsibility for their actions.

So just to be clear...you had no issue with people trying to get the NYC government to take action regarding zoning laws and other such things to make it so that the mosque couldn't be built near ground zero?
 
Yes, because he's clearly talking about individual one off people and not a concentrated generalized loud national awareness of it. :roll:

It has actually been organized and for some time. Note this ABC news video uploaded on Feb 1 2011.

 
His position on gay marriage 'changed' when? Oh yes..shortly AFTER the New York Times and several other major newspaper ran stories stating the majority of gay donors were withholding their campaign contributions until he changed his position. Must feel like **** knowing you mean so little to people.

:rofl:rofl
 
Remember when Jesus flipped out on the homosexuals in the Temple?

Neither do I.

It was moneychangers wasn't it? We just bail them out now.
 
:rofl:rofl
Whats the difference between my (or the owner of CHikFilAs) position on gay marriage and this guy? Oh yeah...you VOTED for this guy.

 
All people should be held to the same standard. If one person is required to show their face on their DL then everyone should. Religion should not get a person special rights. There is a difference between discriminating against a person or business and not giving a certain group special rights.

You discriminating on a business because of their religious views is just a messed up as someone else discriminating against another person based on their sexual orientation. There is no difference. And your defense that you keep trying of pointing out someone elses bigotry to excuse your own is pathetic.

I don't care who religious bigots marry. ;)

There ya go...hell...you didnt even wait for Redress...NICE! YOU dragged them into the argument, didnt you? :lamo
 
I asked you to show me where in a chick fil a restaurant it said hurricanes were going to destroy america. you posted a pic that said food should be good.

So it doesn't count if they don't have a sign posted?

:rofl

I didn't say organized. I said becam a loud, generalized, issue of national awareness.

It's only been in the past week that this has become a national issue to the level of mayors of major cities coming out talking about it, facebook walls being filled with it, multiple people blogging about it, various entites from forums to radio programs and other such things talking about it, etc. I think it's mildly reasonable to suggest that he's speaking primarily about the majority of those that are suddenly just now making this an issue, not the much much smaller number previously.

Well, that guy doesn't seem to believe it will bring the wrath of god down upon us

That is just publicity. Once people become aware of an issue at a point, usually a major media outlet reporting on it, it explodes(Look at Z/M). That does not cahnge the fact that there has been a significant attempt to boycott Chic-Fil-A for some time and this has nothing to do with Obama changing his stance on SSM.

So...THATS it then? If not because of his religious beliefs (well...except by his own words, it WAS because of his religious beliefs) why then did Obama maintain a position AGAINST gay marriage?

What is the reason behind the previous attempts to boycott Chick Fil A?

I'm not sure how this relates to my comment you quoted. I don't think those people were bringing people together either.
 
You realize there's a difference between believing that homosexuality is a sin and thus marriage shouldn't be allowed between two men or two females...and believing that if we allow it that it specifically will cause us to incur Gods Wrath. Hell, it's actually possible to believe that being gay itself isn't a sin, but that marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman anyways and thus disagree with gay marriage. That position would ALSO be different than Cathy's

Additionally there is the issue that, for some people, the issue that they care about or are talking most about isn't what the owner SAYS...but rather where the owners company donates money too, specifically to apparently a group who pushes for Homosexuality to be illegal. That is not something I believe falls in line with Obama's views.

Can you point me to where he said anything about God's Judgement?

That CHANGES his position on gay marriage how exactly? A private business owner held the same position that up until 2 months ago your beloved leader held. APPARENTLY you think Obama was just FRIVOLOUSLY opposed to gay marriage then?
 
That has nothing to do with my post. Why did you quote me when you wrote this?

I'll type slowly for you.

Religious bigots don't want a segment of the population to marry the ones they love. I am not restricting religious bigots in that manner. You tried to say that I was equally bigoted. That is not true.

I agree that it happen because Obama changed his stance on SSM. But I do think there are a large amount of people who are pretty hillariously "suddenly" getting angry and having an issue over this because it got big, who have no isuse stereotyping obvious fundamental christians when it's in their favor to do so, but because they liked Chick-Fil-A chicken never stopped to think a moment about the likely views of their companies owner.

But yes, I do agree with you, the switch has little to do with Obama.
