And i think maaaaaaaaaaany people are missing the point here

This isnt about whether gay is right or wrong because no matter what that a personal choice

Many people including many homosexuals went to Chik-Fil-A to support 1st amendment rights. Thats what this is all about

I would like to think so, and I completely agree.

This is true, but as long as Christians exist there will always be a rally against gays...and Chick fil A will be at that rally in spirit. Speaking of that, Im going to have some Chic-fil-a right now. :)

Oh, so that's why there were so many people there yesterday....

This reminds me of that one time with JCPenney and OMM, except the other way around I suppose.

What was that all about?

JCP said that Ellen DeGeneres was their new SpokesWoman and a bunch of "Mom's" freaked out because she is a Lesbian.

Another case of people freaking out for no dang reason.



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.

 Not sure what you saw but that is there right to hate. Be non-evolved human beings that can't accept anything or anyone that is different.


You mean like you?


I'm challenging the people that are doing the hating in the first place. LIKE YOU!

What is a liberal? Seems that most conservative's are more liberal then liberals and liberals are more conservative than liberals. Like all the laws the supposed conservative's pass restricting girls vigina's, Thats not conservative. So really lets just admitt that everyone has a different idea of the words and that they are fluid and change on a dime.  So basically they are put in place to put up walls. Most people I know as soon as they hear conservative, a wall comes up and they think stupid old Racists white males with no knowledge and intelligence. However this could be the furthest from the truth to his beliefs. He might believe in one thing they believe in or going with what the word actually means. So his idea would be different then the majority of what conservative's stand for. Which I assume is oppressive religious nut balls that think there religion is the only true one out of 4,000 religions out of the world.

Also it can be said a stereo type of conservative's is drunk white male that has no knowledge and lets hatred control his whole life. This sayings I got above proves nothing, neither has anything I wrote, Until you actually sit down and talk to the person these names mean nothing. Lose the names and we will lose the walls. Stop with the bull sh-t hate and slogans.



"DIVORCE is as against the bible as homosexuality... MASTURBATION is as against the bible as homosexuality... ANAL and ORAL sex are as against the bible as homosexuality.... SEX WITH YOUR WIFE 7 DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER HER PERIOD is as against the bible as homosexuality. if you are CLINGING to one bible verse, you might want to brush up on the others. - think a little hate won't hurt anyone? think again."

Actually the point was simple irony.

All those people supporting CFA for their anti-gay stance utilizing technology and services from pro-gay companies in the process.

But they're not attempting to boycott those companies, so it's not really ironic. They're just supporting one company that's getting a lot of shit for having a wrong opinion, including a lot of local asshole politicians threatening to take flagrantly unconstitutional actions against it.

As unconstitutional as those actions are, its is also unconstitutional to retro fit a definition of marriage as defined by a relgion and furthermore deny people the right to marry based on their sexual preferences. At this point its really an eye for an eye. All this crying about the flagrant abuse of the 1st amendment from a party that has continually pushed their agenda's by abusing the 1st amendment is hyprocritcal at best.

Also going to add that my family is the supposed liberals you talk about. Some are christians, Which you would call left wing christians or people that don't hate but rather care about the poor, sick and hungry, You know real jesus sh-t, they don't spend there time hating everyone like you and your buddy's on the right.  Most of my family has bachelors or masters degrees. In things such as Sociology, psychology, Computer science, Engineering ect......... So funny you say this with a post but the only people that I know that are that non eduacated are people who are right wing racists. Living with there mommy and hating the world. However they are some good christians right? C'mon. I'm agnostic but I know the bible and you people have no clue what is real in it. You live of hate, fear and bullying.
