The chick fil a thing

I dont understand this ordeal. The guy just voices his opinion and all the sudden it needs to be protested? Are you kidding me? I am a semi-supporter of gay marriage/civil union. Personally I really could care less but if you give me a choice I say go for it let them.

Anyways now it seems all the damn hate groups are jumping in. The Westboro fuckwads that really should all die are jumping in and now there are a bunch of gay/gay supporters harassing the workers and vandalizing the chick fil a's. I just dont understand the big deal. If you dont like what the guy said dont eat there. How simple is that? Dont harass some teenage girl in the drivethru at her shitty job.

I agree. They asked him and he gave his opinion. But that's how things are today. These activiats preach tolerance, but have no tolerance for difference of opinion.

Exactly. I think 95% of America thinks the same way we do about tolerance but thats not the idiots on TV and out there harassing people.

I'm for gay marriage, and while I don't agree with the CEO's beliefs, the response against it has been ridiculous. If they were discriminating against gays in their restraunts it would be one thing, but this is just one man's opinion, nothing more. It seems to be drawing crazies on all sides of the political fence now.

Yeah thats the crazy thing. All the crazy ass people are coming out of the woodworks. I think what we should do is try to trick them into all showing up at the same place at the same time and either drop in some guns so they kill each other or just bomb them. LOL

I'm about to make a post on Facebook stating that all the hysterics on both sides need to be rounded up an shipped to Eritrea so I never have to hear them complain again...trouble is many of my friends are some of those hysterics.

I guess living in a very liberal area, seemingly everyone I know is up in arms over it, but my lesbian friend and her GF were all like "fuck it, it's just chicken and waffle fries". I'd also question if they'd start boycotting gas companies that drill in Middle Eastern countries where homosexuality is punishible by beating or death, or if they'd protest Obama sending troops and aid to Uganda, who have been trying to give the death penalty to gays.

its blown way out of proportion.im against gay marriages.im not anti gay nor is my stance based on any bible or religious theory.what the guy said wasnt hatefull.you dont like what he said dont eat there.ive often wondered why there closed sunday now i know.i respect that he puts his beliefs before cash.the nation and the world have severe problems but abortion gay rights to many is important over peace poverty problems severe diseases nuclear armliment etc etc..
tolerence for a non hatred thoughts like chick fill is non existent.cites like boston chicago overeating.just dont eat there.

ill agree that folks have a right to love who they want in a mutual choice .im tired of the bullshit that folks have a right to marry who they want.realy.thats exactly what they say in defence of gay marriage.does a father or mother have the right to marry there son or daughter.do brother and sister have the right to marry each other.does society have a right and or obligation to honor legaly marriages like that.when does this so called right stop.does it stop only if a guy or girl want to marry there dog or cat.keep marriage amoung humans only and let anything go.what other rights are folks gonna invent.sorry.thats how i feel.

im of the belief and noooo ones changing my mind that perhaps 98 percent of gays lesbians and bis are born that way.there lifestyle sexual prefernce etc etc is predetermined at birth due to whatever medical or scientific reason.there should be no predudice against that.the other 2 percent its a choice perhaps brought on by a tramatic experience in life.even given that belief i strongly oppose gay marriage.live together openly love leave folks in your will etc etc ill respect that choice.no problem.

I think your right about them being born that way but there are a lot of them doing it as a fad. Thats not coming from me thats coming from my uncle(who is gay). What he told me once is that a lot of the younger generations do it to piss off mommy and daddy. I can see that. But yes after being around my uncle my entire life I truly believe that they are born that way. As far as the marriage thing is concerned my uncle and his friends have told me plenty of times that a civil union is fine with them they just want the tax breaks LOL.

What's funny is they are getting record sales because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the CEO deliberately said his opinion. Business guys like him don't say shit unless they know it'll help bring in the money.

So he says his opinion about the gays knowing the bleeding heart media would go ape over it. Tons of free publicity

I consider myself deeply religious and oppose gay marriage for that reason but I honestly don't feel like I'm bigoted against gays in any real way. I think civil unions should be enough but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What it really comes down to is I would not be able to attend a church of a pastor that performs gay marriages. I have felt very sad at how many people foolishly labeled someone voicing their opinion after being asked a direct question as discrimination. It really indicates how broken our society is on many levels. If you don't want to eat there because you dislike the food or the owners, don't eat there. If you like the food, eat there. It really is as simple as that. This massive outpouring of people boycotting or eating there is very childish to me. Let's focus on our broken economy or our foreign policies instead folks.

Hey its an election year. Its time to hide the real issues.

i still dont get why marriage is even a political thing. this whole issue would be resolved if marriage were a ritual or religious thing that had nothing to do with government. i mean, if i get married, why do i have to have the government involved? a big problem ive seen is how two people are living together with kids and arent technically married, but the woman gets money from the government because she is single. its ridiculous.

so if government just stayed out of marriage then the gay marriage situation would be over with forever.

is it illegal to be racist? no, its only illegal to act on it. it doesnt matter if you are against gay marriage or even gays in general, but as long as you dont actually actively discriminate then who cares. you arent going to change peoples opinions on certain things. im from portland so there are a ton of gay people here and i disagree with their lifestyle but i dont hate them as a person for being gay. i dont like some of them because they are annoying just like i dont like a lot of people because they are annoying. i feel the same towards them as any other person on the planet.
