Like I said, it's his money and it's none of your business where he spends it and your calling me dense LOL None of your business period.

But you keep crying free speech.

No one is trying to pass a law that makes it so corporations can't donate to special interest groups.

But to suggest that its "unamerican" to practice ones own free speech by boycotting a corporation that funds things you disagree with, is hypocritical at best.

You and others keep making it sound like people are trying to silence them, or pass laws to restrict free speech.

That couldn't be further from the truth.

I wouldn't be so sure. When driving home from work I saw a huge crowd of people gathered outside the place, I think this has been the busiest day this particular establishment ever had (I never see more than 3 cars on their parking lot), and I'm sure there's hundreds more nationwide. So, I think losing a few gay customers to them is nothing compare to how much money they'll make from gay bashers backed by the right wing scum.

Funny, but not so long ago the same argument was used by the Ku-Klux-Klan against interracial marriage and that marriages between whites and blacks make Jesus very sad

Crowds of great people lined up at my local Chick-Fil-A in support of the fantastic business owner who has created thousands of jobs for Americans.

I surely do not want my family to be sitting down eating and look over and see two sick people french kissing and holding hands.

Makes me sick to think about it.

No, it's just denying American citizens the same rights, and privileges that some have.
THAT is unconstitutional.

I thought conservatives were all about the constitution.

I agree with his/their stance on this issue, so I will be sure to be a regular customer!
No, he gave his opinion, and gave company money to groups that actively lobby to deny equal rights to citizens.

One is an opinion, one is an action.

Dude, today was a church driven "get the bigots out to support CFA" rally... Let me know how it looks tomorrow and next week.

If I was tolerant I would say something like "people who oppose gay marriages backed by conservative politicians" but I like to call things what they are
