I haven't read every comment, but how many people are discussing the fact that Rahm Emmanuel and Boston's mayor are using the power of their office to bar a business from their cities, whereas the statement from Truett Cathy has virtually no bearing on the business, nor people that are gay?

Talk about a double standard. If Chicago or Boston banned a business because it was run by blacks, wouldn't that be pretty bigoted? Only one entity in this discussion effects anyone else - and it isn't Chick-fil-A or Truett Cathy.

That is silly. Being black is not a choice. Being a homophobic bigot is a choice.

Being an intolerant local tyrant anti-first amendment liberal hypocrite is also a choice

Cathy isn't being prosecuted for his remarks, so the first amendment is not being violated.

Actually, his first amendment IS being violated if politicians in multiple cities are exerting political power against he and his company.

I have no qualms if individuals or even companies (such as the Muppets) want to fire back at Chick-fil-A for what happened. However, when politicians step in, I start thinking of "Hate speech" laws and using such things to supress various kinds of speech.
