Amazing to see a company really taking a stand for what they believe in. I applaud Jim Henson Company. Being that they produce some of the most well recognized children's programming, I think this sends a strong message to families that they are accepting of all people's rights.

Stats. Articles. Sources. Evidence.

Back up your "opinion" and validate your claim, if you can.

Majority of the population doesn't approve of denying a group of people rights, liberties, and freedoms guaranteed to them under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Sources to back up my claim? US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Gays have equal rights as anyone else but gay marriage is NOT a marriage.

Another way of saying this is, "Separate but equal."

Sorry, sister. If the judge hands a homosexual couple a certificate of marriage, then it is a marriage in the eyes of the law.

By the way - separate but equal is not equal.

Chick-fil-A loses Muppets, gains Mike Huckabee in gay controversy - latimes.com


This company stands by family values and they don't even open on Sundays so their employees can attend church. It's a family owned business, I think they have the right to follow what they think is best.

That's funny - marriage predates religion. So what authority does some dude in sandals and a dress have over millions of Americans today?

Oh and not to mention that Jesus and your false god all fall under the jurisdiction of the Soul King. He just lets them do whatever they want, but when the time comes you will all be brought to Seireitei to enjoy the blessings and divinity that is the Soul King.

Praise thee, little lamb.

I do commend them for being closed on Sundays to allow their employees to go to church and all that. No one is boycotting them for that.

What *my* issue is with them isn't that they want to stand up for family values (which doesn't mean a lot anyway), but that they are for the stifling of rights, freedoms, and liberties granted to all Americans under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Only a foolish fool who is foolishly foolish would actually support this manner of thinking.

Oh right - guess I ought to have mentioned a reputable source. Wikipedia isn't reputable, though the external sources contained within the article, however, are. Nevertheless at least you took the first step in validating your opinion - even if it's a really, really weak one at that.

What state is that exactly? California? Virginia? Florida? Mississippi? I've lived in a bunch of states, buddy.

Defenders of the Catholic Faith | Hosted by Stephen K. Ray | Author of "St. John's Gospel", "Upon This Rock", & "Crossing the Tiber"

Stephen Ray has a good explaination on what people think of homosexuality. This is on his blog. You can listen to the show he did about it from the pod cast. I am posting it here if you want to listen. Chick-fil-A has the right to keep these beliefs even if you think they should not.


"I was on Catholic Answers Live Friday (7/20/21) to discuss the heated topic of “Homosexuality and the Bible.” The phones really lit up with this topic. Below in green and brown are the questions I answered. (I will provide the links to listen on-line or download as a podcast when they are available Monday. Listening options will be found HERE.)"
