Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day apparently successful

[Rion]

This isn't about Dan Cathy, and never was. It is about Chick-Fil-A investing millions of dollars to fund anti-gay hate groups with the explicit goal of depriving LGBTQ citizens of equal rights.

Thank you for making my point for a different thread.

True. But, when a municipality allows businesses of a certain type, but then denies certain business of that type because of the stated opinions of its management, then we run into First Amendment territory.

There was a time when liberals would almost universally understand and support free speech even when they disagree with the content of that speech. I find it sad how many people I see on these CFA threads opposing free speech in the name of liberalism.

I agree, I support the concept of equal marriage but people using the power of the state to punish people ho don't think the way they think they should is a horrible idea.


Fight ideas with better ideas.... not the power of the government.

Money isn't speech and corporations don't have First Amendment rights.

You are right, corporations don't have first amendment rights, but Dan Cathy however does have first amendment rights, and to punish his company because of his views does violate his rights.

ROTFL ... so you can't defend against Wolseley's point... okey-dokey ...

It doesn't need defending because it was nonsense.

The sodomites are allowed under our Constitution to be as friendly as they choose under our Constitutional terms for privacy. The problem arises when the sodomites try to tell the world that sodomy is good and not a sin. Big sodomy wants to have the right to teach our children that the practice and people who choose to identify with sodomy is A-OK and to heck with God. (and biology, for that matter.)

Man, are you going to be upset in a few years.

Ridicule of others well-intentioned posts is not good form, Ian.

Ian is correct; Wolseley's post was total rubbish that required no refutation. It refuted itself.

Most sodomites can already get married.
Homosexuals are the ones who can't.

Sodomy is A-OK if you're not a believer of Christianity or any other religion which is against it.
Last time i checked, schools didn't teach religious opinion as fact...
I'm pretty sure sodomy isn't even mentioned in schools, nor do people want it to be mentioned.

Homosexuality=/=sodomy.

Yeah, that's going to far. I'm all with people boycotting the place so their money doesn't end up going toward the anti- marriage equality movement but the government actually telling him he can't do business isn't right.

Refuted itself how ... exactly?

No different than ACT-UP or GLAAD or the Human Rights Campaign investing millions of dollars to fund anti-Christian hate groups with the explicit goal of depriving Christians of the right to voice their opposition to the redefinition of marriage.

Umm... what hate groups do they fund? Typically non-profit groups (outside of groups like United Way) don't donate the money they collect to other non-profits.

But even if they did, so what? You have every right to boycott them (not send them your money).

Not as upset as you may possibly be for a longer period of time.
