There are two Chickfila's in the Boston metro - both in malls. I was in the mall yesterday. Normally there is a line at least 10 people deep even during off hours. No one was there. I don't think Boston has anything to worry about regarding Chickfila's unwanted presence.
and Thousands of gays were members of the Nazi Party. (remember the SA was mostly gay)


Since Judaism is more anti gay marriage then Christianity is protesting a store because of their support of true marriages (especially since gays helped the nazi party rise to power) is a insult to the millions of Jews who were murdered by the Nazi.

1. it's 613
2. while most jewish laws ONLY apply to jews the prohibition of relations between 2 men (and all the more so a counterfeit "marriage") applies 100% for non jews. which is why jews are required to fight to make sure counterfeit "marriages" are 100% illegal.
3 there are 2 places that Jewish tradition refers specifically to same-gender "marriage" regarding non jews and both refer mass destruction due to it.

And this here folks shows that I am equally disgusted by fundamentalists of my own faith.

The SA was mostly gay? Really? Then why were gays or those suspected of being gay subjected to cruel and unusual torture before being gassed? As horribly as Jews were treated, they were treated much better than the homosexuals in the camps. To deny one part of the Holocaust is to deny it all, and you can be guilty of that even as a Jew.

Luckily, most Jews are not fundamentalists and the vast majority of us either support gay marriage or recognize that it is not our right to ban them from those who do not follow our beliefs.

Of course they don't.

The Family of the family owned company DONATES from his own money earned through his business to Christian organizations.

Is that ILLEGAL? Is it Un-Constitutional?
Um, Chick-fil-A - the company - donates company money to these groups.

And as I stated fairly clearly, if a Muslim family did that, Liberals would call a boycott of them tantamount to being a hate crime.
An utterly ridiculous claim.

A FAMILY owned corporation.

Is that illegal? Is it un-Constitutional?

And AGAIN.....if this were a Muslim family owned corporation donating money to an equally "bigotted" Muslim organization, Liberals would call a boycott of them tantamount to being a hate crime.

Homosexuals were seen as 'undesirables' in Nazi Germany as they failed to meet the Nazi ideals to create Aryan offspring. As a result they were persecuted.

The Nazis believed that male homosexuals were weak, effeminate men who could not fight for the German nation.

That blows your statement out of the water.

I seriously doubt that, but you have a habit of making blanket statements without any attempt to even explain yourself.

Obama made it official that government employees can't call Muslim Terrorists, terrorists. They had to be called Muslim Extremists. What's that say about how Liberals are in denial?

Perhaps Chick Fila is best suited for the areas of the country that share it's president's/owners view and where homosexuals ware treated more in line with views. Many shops and businesses are not allowed in Boston(and elsewhere in the northeast), because of various reason, many trivial, many not. Many business are kept out of Boston, for basically no reason at all(Wal-Mart). Cry me a river for this guy.
Cities have been deciding which businesses are allowed or not for eons. The town I grew up in allowed ZERO fast food chains once the A&W went out of business in the early 70's. The city I live in now won't allow Target or Walmart. Happens all the time. Why would a business want to be in a city/town where they are not wanted?

Is a boycott illegal? Am I legally required to donate money to causes I don't agree with?

And I would not give my money to a Muslim owned business that was donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
