for anyone who "thinks" this was justifiable.
it's very likely most jews in NYC are now against gay marriage and is almost guaranteed to be the case in about 10 years. so should We expect our store to be stickered with a rainbow Star of David.

it's been done before

Said as if that were a good thing....

To me and many it is, to others not so. It all depends on your personal beliefs/how you view the world. My point is to counter the notion that this is somehow hurting Chic-Fil-a, when in fact it is not. That should be an inspiration to others who might want to stand up to the PC plague that is eating away at us.

As it does to a conservative... you know how many cruel names I've been called for not being a Christian (usually incorrectly assuming I must then be an Atheist), for supporting gay rights, being pro-choice, etc? Too many to count.

Guess that "two-way street" you guys preach about only applies to liberals, which is highly ironic when you think about it.
