Right, and they were denied a zoning variance.

I do hope someone attempts to open a strip club next to the ceo's church.

Are you kidding me? You really believe organizations don't have the same kind of protection as individuals? Haven't you paid any attention to this specific debate and te corresponding Supreme Court decisions, specifically as it relates to political contributions?

I wonder how the zoning commisions in places like Georgia would treat the CEO's restaurants, if he supported an amendment to ban heterosexual marriage?

They sure can but they better be prepared to handle the flack that will come back to them.

Do I think Cathy was wrong in expressing his beliefs? No. Do I think it was a stupid move? Yes, definitely.


Let's say you are a CEO of a company of 1,000 employees and you say you are against gay marriage. Trust me you are gonna have some repercussions. This is what is happening to Cathy. Just stick to business. Talk about your religious beliefs with friends and family. Religion really shouldn't have a place in business.
And what gay rights activist would say "no comment" if they were asked their views? Even if they were business owners? His views have never been a secret and there is no reason for them to be. He WAS sticking to business, but he was being interviewed and the question was asked. Is he supposed to be ashamed of what he believes? He wasn't trying to force his beliefs on anyone and he is not even the one who brought it up.

And if it religion should have no place in business, then why are people trying to deny him a business license because of his religious views? It's ridiculous.

You are conveniently forgetting the comments by the alderman and mayor. It isn't about that lone location.

Sweet, so if a black tries to open a furniture store they can say we don't want any black owned stores in this town because the STORE isn't black, just the owner. Which makes it entirely ok.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

There woukd be no issue if the mayor and the alderman had just said "No. There's no reason to re-zone the area. We don't want you. We don't need the extra traffic. And we hate chicken."

But they didn't, did they? And now the citizens of this fine city will probably have to pay for expensive lawyers to fight this civil rights gaffe.
Not to mention the city will lose which means $$$$ for CFA out of the taxpayers pocket.

CFA is not a religion it's a chain of chicken shacks. Unless maybe they start baptizing people at the drive thru.
