    Nope, I will not be participating. While I am in favor of gay marriage, I find the tactics of left politicians against free speech and free enterprise to be revolting beyond description, and I would never associate myself with such drivel.

    Disagreeing with CFA is very American, as is dissent in general, but attempting to ban them from your city for their beliefs is fascism.

    I loved the place and so does my family, but I just can't go there anymore. Everyone in our family agrees. :) It's our choice. To us it is a human rights issue. In 1967 it was against the law for black and white people to marry each other. The majority of the population agreed. But the government overturned it because it was a basic human rights issue. Just because a majority things gay marriage is wrong, doesn't make them right.

    That is just silly to not go and eat their food which you claim to like simply because you do not agree with Cathy's religious views. Is it POSSIBLE to be a CHRISTIAN and embrace one's RELIGIOUS BELIEFS without being Boycotted, Harassed and Threatened in America anymore?

    Ben and Jerry's Ice Creme CEO's are far left wing radical extremists and they have said some pretty sick crap over the years but I don't believe in boycotting their right to run their business. Their product is good so i've heard.

    By trying to destroy a persons life and his/her business is what Fascists do.

    Think about it.

    I completely agree. It has nothing to do with Dan Cathy's freedom of speech - his five million dollars buys him all the speech he could ever want. But to fund organizations that systematically work to deny the rights of a portion of our population because it disagrees with your religious beliefs....that's immoral. And unconstitutional. The first line of the First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." I would suggest that "biblical marriage" far too greatly respects an establishment of religion.

    I'd never been there anyways. I've been a vegetarian since I was 4 so I don't eat chicken sandwiches and I don't know any in Russian Federation. But I support gay marriage so yeah. I guess you could say I'm boycotting it, though I would never go anyways.

    Baloney - please examine the groups to which Dan Cathy has donated. And then examine the diatribes posted on boards all over the internet. Don't tell me his donations haven't contributed to this level of bias against gay people and their rights. The First Amendment states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. The idea of traditional biblical marriage would fall into that category. Think for yourself, instead of using the standard BS about Muslims. It's all over the internet. Find a new talking point.

    Pssst its HIS MONEY. You don't have the RIGHT to tell Dan Cathy what organizations he can donate his money to. He has a right to his religious beliefs. As for intolerance and hate and violence? That comes from people like you who go on the attack DEMANDING that those of us who support traditional marriage must be FORCED to conform to your ideology.

    You're a FASCIST.

    Its also clear that you do NOT understand what the first amendment means. In America we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION. not FREEDOM FROM RELIGION.

    You're not only a fascist but you're a bigoted hypocrite as well.

    The problem with YOUR analysis is that MARRIAGE is NOT a CIVIL RIGHTS MATTER.

    This whole controversy began when Chick-fil-a President Dan Cathy said God will punish America for embracing gay marriage.

    Cathy donates money to PROTECT Traditional Marriage.

    The beliefs of both sides should be respected. That's what freedom of expression is all about. So when politicians try and attack him and his business because they don't like the politics of its management that's flat out un-American.

    And the argument that anti-gay marriage people are violating somebody's rights is flat out false.

    MARRIAGE is NOT a CONSTITUTIONAL right and we expect the Supreme Court to further define the issue but right now marriage is regulated by the states and it is a SACRAMENT in many religions. Also noteworthy is the fact that Liberal politicians are NOT attacking African American pastors who are publicly AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE. You don't hear calls to BOYCOTT those churches DO YOU !!!!!!

    So, there's plenty of HYPOCRISY going on and MORE than a little fascism.
    The hallmark of totalitarian regimes weather they be communists, fascists, or simply suppressive is to shut down the opposition. Silence them, punish them.

    That's what the mayors of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco want to do. Punish Chick-fil-A.

    I believe that the VAST majority of Americans condemn that stance.

    Again:

    There are good people on both sides of the gay issue and we protect their sincerely held beliefs.

    It is NOT wrong or bigoted to believe American society is stronger and that the family unit is better served when marriage is between a man and a woman.

    It is also not wrong for homosexual Americans to want to get as much parity as they can.

    Robust debate is a good thing. Threats and intimidation are un-American.

    You are absolutely right: you do not have to patronize his business. But you are absolutely incorrect when you say opposing same-sex marriage has nothing to do with religion. Mr. Cathy's religious beliefs are that it is wrong. Therefore, he feels he is charged with the responsibility of trying to prevent it. His right. His money. His choice of where to spend/donate it.
  • gvc debra.f... 2012/08/03 21:06:19

    Why don't you do some research yourself. You couldn't possibly be more wrong about Cathy or the groups he supports.

    Congress has nothing to do with marriage, the right to marry is decided by States.


    You might want to think for yourself as you suggest others do. You admit all your talking points are gleaned from the internet.

    Perhaps Mr. Cathy is working to get a federal law (federal law trumps state law) that will abolish same-sex marriage. That is his right. You can spend your money where you please, and so can Mr. Cathy. However, you do not have the right to attempt to shut Mr. Cathy up. That would be a First Amendment violation.
  • gvc Pam Brown 2012/08/06 22:04:06

    Let's be clear shall we.....There are NO federal laws concerning marriage. Marriage is NOT a federal matter. Marriage is determined by the STATE.

    FYI, I support Mr Cathy, and his viewpoint. I am not trying to shut him up in any way, shape or form.

    It's all over the internet because no one, including you, has yet given a valid reason for why you target Christians, but not Muslims. But I know why: because you're scared to say anything against Muslims. You're afraid they'll take your head. On the other hand, you believe Christians will be easy to intimidate which makes you the classic example of a bully. Mr. Cathy earned the money; Mr. Cathy can spend it wherever he pleases. Almost everyone is a bigot, including you. big·ot

    Why--they have the freedom of speech that everyone else does! The mayors of these cities that call for this are not following the law of the land and need impeached. Just because you disagree with someone does not make it hateful or bigotry or racist. Are you people capable of sound reasoning or full of the hate you blame others for having. Do you hate your mom because you disagree with her? Come on think a little for yourselves!

    Allow me to post to you what I posted to Debbie.

    So you would also condemn AMAZON.COM, EBAY, APPLE, TACO BELL to use MY money to promote their bigotry in that they send MILLIONS of dollars to support Gay Marriage.

    You really have no idea what a Hypocritical Bigoted walking contradiction you are.

    You are also promoting FASCISM.

    Once you buy the product the money you paid for it no longer belongs to YOU.
    Therefore you no longer have any CONTROL as to where THEIR Money is spent.

    Nothing you say here makes any sense. I can choose not to put my money towards things that I do not support. That is stopping my money from going to things I do not support. Of course some of my money may eventually go where I don't want it, but at least when I do know I have the freedom to make a choice. And no, I would not condemn anyone who's money goes toward the support of gay marriage. You may not want to use Amazon, Ebay, Apple or Taco bell, because you don't support that and that is your choice.

    And what is this about?

    "You really have no idea what a Hypocritical Bigoted walking contradiction you are."

    You do not know me and are rude in saying this. That is all this is about. Trying to be a jerk. Good day. Do not speak to me again.

I actually DO spend my MONEY there because I like their PRODUCTS. I could careless what their POLITICAL VIEWS are. You may want to read the FIRST AMENDMENT.
