I'm all for free speech, but what Chic Fil a did was outrageously stupid in going public about an issue that is clearly controversial in the US and guaranteed to stir the pot, and it likely angered a lot of people. This is why I'm not particularly sad or angry that Boston and whoever else is trying to boycott them, even though I don't believe what THEY are doing is right either. You can't hinder someone's business in this country simply based off one's beliefs, however backwards and stupid they might be.
Though, why Chic Fil a would go public about an issue like this is beyond me. You are a goddamn chicken joint. Make your chicken sandwiches and shut up. No one cares if you are fundamentalist Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, or Shintoists. Your job is to make fast food, not get involved in politics.
Also, Chi Fil a HAD to have known about the backlash they would get with their anti-gay statement, which to me tells me they wanted this. After all, look at the massive sales they got from all the right wingers and hardcore Christians during their "appreciation day." I guess bad publicity is better than no publicity.. All I can say is, they should be careful what they wish for, because I have a feeling the longer term effects of this statement are going to be far more negative than positive.

No one ever tells you you had to agree, or believe, or go there. That's what's really stupid about this situation.
People just need to see that this guy made a comment, yes it was kind of a stupid comment, but it's his belief, you don't have to care.
