I'm willing to bet that Chick-Fil-A:
-does not deny service to gays
-alot of gays probably like Chick-Fil-A
-Chick-Fil-A probably has a number of gays working in some of their chains.
Yeah ....I can just feel the hatred... 
If Chick-Fil-A was a member of the CPUSA and supported gun confiscation they would be welcome to Chicago with open arms! |
Think of it this way and ask yourself if you'd still feel the same way:
Suppose the leaders of a particular business believe that African Americans should not have the right to vote or own land, but:
-they don't deny service to blacks
-black people like their product
-the company employs many black people
Is that acceptable? Do you think people would be right to boycott a business whose CEO publicly expressed such discriminatory views? Would you be opposed to elected officials denying business licenses and other required permits in order to prevent this organization from opening a location in the local area?
