I would suppose he does, although I don't see it being pertinent to this discussion.

No they weren't.

They were donating money to uphold marriage.

Yes - and the owner of Chock-Fil-A could have thrown all those gay army troublemakers out - they were on private property.

He didn't because he had class, and their stunt failed anyway.

Chick-Fil-A is as strong as ever and it stuck to its moral principles without allowing itself to be intimidated by the bullies.

He is speaking to the choir.

Only a anti-constitution, firearms ignorant, gun grabbing liberal would regularly pay $4.00 for a mediocre cup of coffee.

The way the Libby gun grabbers are steering this thread its OK for business owners to refuse service to anybody that's packing, right?
What about the poof that walks into the bakery packing his partner's junk in his trunk?
Tables just got turned, libs haha

I don't think it's OK for Starbucks to refuse service unless the law allows that. In my state, I believe that is allowed.

You using a gay slur doesn't help.

Aaaannnnd this is where the attempt to compare Starbucks to Chickfila or whateverthey'recalled fails, because - as you may have noticed - Starbucks isn't donating to an anti-gun lobby organization.

It's a stupid comparison, and you should feel bad for making it.

It is stupid- if you have an anti-gun agenda. Otherwise not so much.

So if they banned breast feeding in their stores because it made people uncomfortable would that be ok with you or would you be upset?
