Everyone needs to exercise. You may think you don't, and maybe that's why you don', but you really should.
I exercise at least 4 times a week and I need to do it more often, I've been slacking off. Spending way to much time on the internets arguing with trolls over stupid things.
You need to familiarize yourself with the law. The law does not state that a CEO cannot have beliefs. In fact, an employer has the right to fire anyone at will, without reason. A place of service also has the right to refuse service at will.

Eating fast food once a week isn't going to kill you. Of course everyone should excercise but to say someone needs to exercise right after eating fried chicken is ludicrous.
Methinks you haven't actually read anything posted here.

Suspicion confirmed.
Nobody is stating that the CEO cannot have his beliefs. In fact, if you actually read a little, you'd find that the problem is that profits (aka, the customers' money) is being used to make donations to groups that actively work against homosexuals.
Nobody is saying that he can't do this. He's perfectly fine to use profits as he wishes.
All people are saying is that they don't want their money, even if just a penny, going to these organizations.

Funny how you claim that others need to familiarize themselves with the law and you go and state this.
It's only in At-Will states that this is true. I live in one and this is indeed the case. An employer has the right to fire anyone at will, without reason.
They can't, however, fire somebody for discriminatory purposes; i.e.: "I'm firing you because you're black".

Correct.
However, if the business says something like "We don't serve black people", that's against the law. And in certain states, the same is true for sexual orientation - where you cannot discriminate based upon it. Such is being discussed in in this thread.

No sad he can't have his beliefs, but most states have laws against discrimination for businesses open to the public. No one is saying CFA is refusing service to anyone anyways.
The whole point is he is using company money to donate to organizations that actively lobby to deny equal rights for homosexuals.
I went to a Chic-Fil-A last week and they were PACKED! The drive thru line was very long and they had a guy taking orders outside with a hand-held device. I walked inside and it was full. I wondered if I would find a table...I finally did...
I saw something (maybe you can enlighten me) that I do not see at other fast food restaurants.... The employees were walking the floor, asking everyone how their lunch was and offering to remove your tray from your table.

I saw no evidence of a Boycot here....
The Chick Fil A does that here too. They even hand out those individual packets of handwipes.

The ones near me have always done this during long rushes.

Fazoli's does this, most local places (like Pollard's) do this, there's even a few McD's nearby that also do this (which I find more shocking).
Nobody said that CFA was a bad place to eat or how horrible the conditions were.
The problem (yet again) is that profits are being used as donation money to organizations like FRC and Exodus.

That's because most people don't care either way.
The boycott is not a mass call to stop people from eating there. It's a personal decision that each person makes for themselves.
I won't eat there, but I'm not going to **** on somebody's wheaties if they happen to go.

It's amazing how people can get behind these companies and boycott and or support them, yet we are losing jobs everyday overseas. I guess as long as the gays aren't doing each other in their own houses, who cares that all of our jobs are shipped overseas. Damn those gays.
But hey, maybe the gays will do like every other "born again" Christian. "Find Jesus" then proceed to the nearest pulpit and/or soapbox and tell everyone else how wrong they are.
This issue with CFA has never been about Freedom of Speech.
I've known about what CFA & Cathy do in donating money to bigoted, discriminatory organizations who purposely target homosexuals to be discriminated against.....through law and policy; for at least two years.
And that is the issue at hand.
But CFA and Cathy WANT Americans/"Christians" to believe it's all about 'Freedom of Speech". They know a large majority of Americans and 'Christians" are gullible, ignorant and and always ready to hop on board with some fascist, hateful agenda; if it's framed as being "Biblically Correct". Cathy is no idiot. He knows exactly what he's doing and has known for a long time. These people who are hopping on-board with CFA and Cathy, are nothing more than your typical poorly educated, sadly ignorant, disgracefully hateful trash.
The propaganda to try and sell this issue as a question of "Freedom Of Speech" is so pathetically transparent and obvious. But only the ignorant sockpuppets are taking the bait and swallowing the hook. Anyone who truely steps back, researches this issue, checks the history of this issue with CFA and uses their brain (if they have a brain, to begin with); immediately realizes that what CFA has been doing for a long time now, is dispicable, fascist and without a doubt....UnAmerican. Cathy (and CFA) are pissing on The Constitution and betraying everything America was founded on and stands for.
Homosexuals are their clear target, now. But guess what? CFA also has some "interesting" views and policies for women. And women with children. That's right, quietly, CFA plays their little 'Biblically Correct" game with women, too. Because you know, the bible says females need to be subservient to males/to their husbands. No doubt Cathy and CFA have no interest in speaking out so boldly about that, right now.
And as always with these self-righteous weasels, one thing always leads to another. First it's homosexuals and women. Then, maybe it will be guys with long hair. Then, women who have tatoos (even if it's just one small tatoo) Or maybe fat people will be next. And then ......they'll find another target group who doesn't meet the 'Biblically Correct" requirements of the self-righteous, fascist bigots.
You, I couldn't care less what Cathy says. His opinions are his own and he has every right to them.
But it is WHAT PEOPLE DO that truely matters and that is what needs to be evaluated. And what Cathy and CFA have been doing for such a long time, it disgraceful and treasonous.
