Chick-fil-a

[z31maniac]

For a mayor to refuse them the right to open a location based SOLELY on their stance on the issue is unconstitutional.

Not that you're wrong, but how is he violating the Constitution?

[Jand3rson]

Word flub, I meant unethical.

The mayors of Chicago and Boston are saying that they will deny business licenses to Chick-fil-a because of the CEO's stance on same sex marriage.

I think the phrase was make it very hard.

I don't agree with their ideals however, I love their food. Life's dilemmas...

“It doesn’t send the right message to the country,” Menino said. “We’re a leader when it comes to social justice and opportunities for all.”

If the fags and lesbians want to piss Chick-fil-a off they all need to do is dine there and make out in front of everybody. You know in front of all of the family and kids.
That would be a great message...

Thanks for your valuable input. /s

Too bad I am a big fan of "equal justice" not biased to benefit what ever flavor of the day social issues are at the fore front of political hot buttons.

[z31maniac]

In the Mayor's letter, he basically says it would be a dishonor to have a Chic-fil-A across the street from the City Hall Plaza.

My guess is they are just denying a permit for that location.

And hating people because of their sexual preference is a great message?

Legal marriage is pretty much bullshit to begin with.

The idea of marriage has been around since long before any religion got a hold of it. Christianity does not "own" the idea of marriage by any means. They also don't "own" the idea of god either. They like to think they do though.

This.

If marrage is such a sacred thing, then why can you go down to vegas or the registery office and get married to any Ho in 5min and a few hundred dollars later. Makes no fucken sense at all.

[Cliche Guevara]

Hey, I was talking about this the other day over a #8 and a side of waffle fries w/ unsweetened tea.

Fuck these people. If they wanna take the term "Marriage" and use it in their own definition, I hereby will be taking the title of Lesbian, because I'm all about women. If we want to twist the definitions to suit our desires, so be it.

I've never seen someone so pissed off over an issue of semantics. Me thinks your outrage isn't really centered around definitions, but rather is religiously grounded.

I have no problem with the same rights, under a civil union title, but I don't think that twisting a definition to fit others that are literally not covered by literal definition of a term, simply because "It's not fair...!" is preposterous.

Ah, I see. You'll give them a separate institution but with equal rights. Separate but equal, in a sense. I see nothing wrong with this.

What if the CEO hated African Americans, instead of homosexuals? Is it be fair for an employer to have official statements against any protected minority group?

Shouldn't elected officials choose to permit businesses in the best interests of their communities? Whether for equal employment (including hostile work environment), better business (including public opinion that would affect sales), and also for satisfaction of the populace? If the Klan had the best chicken joint and wanted to expand with cross-burning hot buffalo sandwiches, would you approve their permit to open up a shop in your town?

Haha, clutch.
