Chick-fil-A caves, to cease giving to Anti-gay orgs

[Spurminator]

lol what?

Let me know when there is a uso for being gay.

How many celebrities or organizations have come out demanding that returning troops from Afghanistan deserve better? You know I'm right on this. Celebs and organizations care more about spreading the word that gay people should get married than they do about helping veterans and active military. It's sad but true.

It's pathetic and there are no excuses.

its about equal rights.

i know this is a massive hurdle for you.

I want to see these hipster celebs supporting the USO and organizations and charities that help troops. I'm sorry but the troops deserve more. They are more important than whether or not gay people can get married.

this guy is a riot!

[Spurminator]

Sounds like you're more obsessed with celebrities than about our troops.

[Jacob1983]

I'm sensing that some of you are saying " you" to our troops. Is my spider sense wrong?

god still ignoring you, huh jack?

So you do have a line then.

I guess ultimately I understand that if you don't care about the issue at hand here (gay marriage rights) enough then you're not going to care about the boycott but I hate to see the actions of those who do care dismissed out of hand. I think we all have lines where we would undertake the actions used here even if we draw them in different places.

You're missing my point. I can care about an issue without believing that my decisions as a consumer are a reflection on my stance on an issue. I think gays should be able to get married and I like Chick Fil A. I don't think one should preclude me from the other. Eating at chick fil a doesn't (didn't) make me anti-gay marriage any more than you buying something from a company headed by a Romney donor makes you a republican.

I don't think I ever made that argument.

Brother, I thought you would be excited about the one bathroom idea. It's one heck of a equal right proposal. God bless

Seems more like a roach sense to me.

People who don't support gay marriage doesn't equal hate. We don't know what changed Cathy's mind. God bless

Firstly, denying people equal rights due to a physical or mental characteristic is discrimination, and discrimination is indeed based in hate....

Second of all, the groups Chick-Fil-A donated to didn't just stop at not supporting gay marriage.... one of those groups spent millions lobbying in support of a "Kill the Gays" bill in Uganda....

There's actually practical purposes for separate bathrooms.... what practical purpose does banning gay marriage serve, besides soothing bigots' irrational fears?

[coyotes_geek]

I don't think I ever made that argument.

If I misunderstood, my bad, but I thought that's where you were headed.

[MannyIsGod]

No not at all. I don't think you had to boycott to show that you were in support of the argument

[Jacob1983]

What's more important: gay marriage or the troops? Man up and answer.

False dilemma, they can both be equally important, tbh....

Fair enough. I support the arguement. Gay marriage should be legal.

[ChumpDumper]

I doubt holding social/political views that I personally find ignorant or offensive would play that big a role in my purchasing decisions.

So you'd be OK with purchasing from a company you knew gave to organizations that advocated racial separation and discrimination.

That's all I was asking.

Thanks for answering.

The conversation has moved fwd a bit but this latest comment interest me. Equal rights is equal rights. God bless

You need to pray to God to help you with your perverted thoughts.

How are gay rights and the best interests of the troops mutually exclusive in any way?

You can only care about one thing!
