I say good for them. They believe in something and are willing to take a stand on it. Wish more people would do the same.

That must be why they stopped sponsoring a tournament on the LPGA tour.

Bigotry doesn't seem like a good business strategy to me unless all your customers are rednecks.

Is anyone really that surprised?

I would have worked under the assumption that they didn't support homosexuality from the start.

The whole thing just seems ridiculous to me. If someone has a certain belief and wants to stand by it, what is wrong with that. If society around them thinks differently, should they alter their view or belief?

I hope they don't cave to the PC crowd. You can disagree with what they support or call them names...even boycott if that's what you feel you should do. I'm not a big fan of the whole boycotting thing, but it's each person's choice, I guess.

So, MM, would you boycott them solely because of this? Do you or would you boycott all businesses that support Christian ideals and support groups that promote Biblical family values and don't support gay marriage, etc?

Isn't that the liberal definition of tolerance? I think they also consider that the definition of bi-partisan. As long as you bow to their desires your tolerant and reasonable...otherwise you intolerant, bigots, etc.?

Interesting article regarding the subject of gay marriage.

is this really an 'anti-gay marriage donation'? They delivered some sammiches and brownies to a christian organization. Aren't most christian organizations anti-gay?

Eliminate the word marriage in statute, problem solved. If they want to be married then go to a church. Otherwise it's just a contract.

But the LGBTQ community and the families values community will all disagree with me on that, despite it being a proper solution that doesn't step on anyones rights.

Logic has no place in politics. Can you imagine the chit storm im someone legitimately proposed that.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Nor*Cal, yup.

I think more from the family values side would agree than from the LGBT side. Seems every time it is discussed, it boils down to trying to redefine "marriage" rather than to establish something that provides all the exact rights but has a different name.

What's wrong with fighting against redefining something or standing up for that? I would bet nearly all of us, probably even MM would stand up for that in various aspects of our lives.

The bottom line with Chik-Fil-A in my mind is that they provide support to the things they believe in. If you want to protest that, so be it. There are many businesses out there that support things that most of us strongly disagree with and feel takes away others rights. We should decide in our own lives if it matters enough to us to not support that business. Why does it need to be made such a big deal of?

jryoung, I'm reminded of that daily but am paid to push logic on behalf of my clients in a legislature and bureaucracy who lends their ear to activists first and logic last.

Easy solution to most of our problems is to simply eliminate the governments role or law governing the issue and the solution will be achieved on its own.

microman, The majority didn't change in the 8 years between propositions in one of the most liberal states in our union. And my proposal actually eliminates a term despite your assertion to the contrary. Civil Union is a term that is used throughout CA statute. You obviously did not clearly understand what I said when I alluded to it previously. IN CALIFORNIA CIVIL UNIONS ENJOY ALL THE SAME RIGHTS AS MARRIAGES. Is that more understandable?

You really don't know much about the political reality of this state or country, just what you assume after some narrow reading which probably lends to your hubris.

And just as there is tyranny of the majority there can be tyranny of the minority. I don't think this issue is one of tyranny but rather one of a vocal and wealthy minority who enjoys equal rights in my state.
