And you won't get "the gay" from it!
I like women far too much to worry about catching "the gay" I suppose I could catch "the bi" though.
And you won't get "the gay" from it!
Dixie chicks were not boycotted they just lost fans and I was one of their biggest. They went to a foreign country and disrespected our president, then they came home and dissed their fans. We stopped listening to them and the radio stopped playing them. No organized boycott, just honest reaction. If you can find one boycott by mainstream reps over something like this chic thing I will be very surprised. I sure never heard of one.
I don't really care what Obama or any other politician believes deep in their heart. As long as he's willing to implement progressive policies (and he has on gay rights), that's what's important.
No it is not Show me where a Chick Fil A restaurant did not treat someone with "honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender." Unlike the bigots boycotting this restaurant based on their religion and creed.
Ahh, okay, so then it's just people voicing their displeasure, and not wishing to give their money to someone they disagree with. But now it's a vicious boycott, got it!!
:roll:
Did you see the **** the owner said? Did you see the list of groups that Chik-Fil-A donates to?

Has nothing to do with how they treat their customers or employees does it?

No one is boycotting this place because of the owners religion, they are boycotting because of the offensive and disrespectful things he said towards LGBT people.
would not do business with an organization that supports the kkk
would not do business with an organization that supports the nation of islam
would not do business with an organization that supports preventing same sex couples from being married
If a restaurant were donating money to groups that lobbied to bring back segregation and Jim Crow Laws, even if they obeyed all the laws in their own restaurants, wouldn't you have a problem with it?
Riiiiight. Your 'candidate of choice' lied about his beliefs, about why he held his beliefs, and pawned gay rights out in the name of political expedience. And you wonder why your values and character amount to less than ****. :lamoLike I said, I really don't care if Obama or any other politician "gives a **** about me," as long as they implement good policies. If you want to feel all warm and fuzzy and pretend that your candidate of choice cares about you personally, that's your decision. But I like to be a bit more rational than that. :2wave:
his religion and believes and his creed is that marriage should be between a man and a woman. There is nothing wrong with him expressing this belief nor is there even anything wrong with him believing it. Just like there is nothing wrong with you having your beliefs or expressing them. This issue is just continually getting more and more hostile and ignorant by both sides of it. Realistically both sides of this can co exist together and come to a realistic solution if you all weren't so busy trying to oppress each other and shove your views down each others throats.
The KKK and NOI are both violent hate groups. To try to connect them to Christians is just ignorant.

Chick-Fil-A contracted with the Jim Henson Company to include muppet toys in kids' meals.

Sounds like a win/win for both parties. Chick gave money to the Muppets Company for the right to included toys and Chick got a well known toy.
I havent voted for a republican or democrat in a long long time. Its comical that you will sit back and espouse his virtues all the while freely admit that he is a liar and a political opportunist that sees people as nothing more than tools and voting blocs. :lamoObama has been very good at implementing progressive policies on gay civil rights. Moreso than any other president in history, actually. I don't give two ****s about when he chose to endorse gay marriage or why; I never doubted that he was on the correct side of the issue in the first place. And it looks like I was right. I'm sorry if you were fooled into voting for Obama because you thought he hated gays...but if that's the case, it's your own fault.
Uhmm he supports making gay marriage illegal. I don't see to many gays pushing to make heterosexual marriage illegal. So who is trying to push their views on people......

It is his right to believe that and express that, and people have the right to not go to that business because of his views and express their opinion about his views. This goes both ways.
