Nope. I think a family who closes a business on Sundays, a day where their employees could be working and getting paid more, and who opposes gay marriage, something that has no effect on their lives at all, are the ones who are a disgrace. If you try to put others down and ruin their lives just because you have backwards, shitty beliefs, then the human race is better off without you, because our society needs to actually advance and not be held back by these kinds of people. It is not like I am saying they should be shot, he died at the age of 93, dying old is natural.

Tons of businesses close on Sunday and you know that when you take the job anyway.

Nothing wrong with opposing Gay Marriage. Its an opinion. One that I (even with a gay brother who I love) hold.

Being happy that someone died is disgraceful.

I'm not going to judge somebody for what they believe. I think it's stupid to hold negative views on LGBTs but that's me personally. Obvious there are going to be others out there who will disagree but it's whatever. Everybody is entitled to an opinion and belief and not going to waste my time debating a person's choice. Plus I see it as a bit of double standards to criticize somebody for being criticizing themselves

Why are we hating on this guy again?

He wasn't a legislator, and he was fully within his rights to close his business when he damn well pleased.

His company was donating a significant chunk of money to groups that were fighting gay marriage bills across the country, like the National Organization for Marriage (As long as you're heterosexual).

Personally never had their food. So, RIP?

Forgive the old man his conservative christian views, for he gave the world a gift in the form of a chicken sandwich.

free speech is bad when lobbying groups disagree with you

Nobody is saying he can't believe what he wants, just that he's an asshole for it.

except for the hundreds of people boycotting his business

Including me. I haven't given CFA a nickel in years, specifically because of their work against LGBT equality.

The Cathy family can hold whatever beliefs they want, and have the First Amendment right to express those beliefs. That doesn't mean I don't think they're terrible people. They've lost a customer for life.

You're punishing their business and it's workers because the family votes the wrong way. It's totally legal of course, as it should be, but don't act like it follows the ideals of free speech to punish someone economically for using it, just because it's people doing it rather than an institution.

I think Tom Cruise and John Travolta are loons but I don't punish the people who work with them by boycotting their projects.

It runs counter to free speech and market competition.

Free speech doesn't guarantee you an audience or free you from criticism.

The sad part is, they probably even aren't affected by people boycotting, because people who support CFA and align with their beliefs, specifically show up to CFA to support them, so that CFA can continue to donate millions of dollars to anti-LGBT organizations.

If you don't care about the politics of the companies you support - fine.

But I do. I cannot, in good faith, give money to a company that works to keep Americans unequal.

Nope. No gay person is saying that the bigoted fuck should never be allowed to marry, because nobody cares. Two people getting married has no effect on anyone else's life.

I understand and agree 100%, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make. My point was that I don't see it okay to judge a person for judging others. It's like the concept of the death penalty where it's illegal to kill a person but if somebody does kill a person then the government is going to kill them. Just doesn't make sense when you look at it

chic fil a, in my mind, is on par with mcdonald's in terms of quality.
