Chickfila President says Company opposes gay marriage

It's stupid to take on issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the company, but It's a private company so they're entitled to do as they please. That doesn't make this the right thing to do or even a wise business decision, but it's certainly their right.
That said, I've had food poisoning once in my life, it was from Chickfila and I've refused to eat there since. If I were ever going to give them another chance, this just ruined it. If they were smart, they would take Eastwood's advice...

This is awesome news! Good job Chic-fil-a
Lebron James is easily the best basketball player in the league currently...

What some people don't understand is that being against gay marriage does not equal hating gays.
IT's about what Christians view as the sanctity of marriage according to the bible. Man and Woman. Not man and man or man and dog or woman and woman or woman and elephant.
Its about marriage. I realize that some extremists take it to the hating gays level, but they are the minority, not the majority.
If you are against a man marrying a dog, are you a dog hater?

Only conservatives that oppose gay marriage are haters. Obama was against gay marriage in the last election and that was ok, because he is a liberal...

Only ignorant people oppose gay marriage, regardless of political affiliation.

It's using the bible to defend hate. Period. You can try to dress it up all you like, but it's hate and you're using the bible to excuse it.
What the hell is wrong with your brain that you would compare two consenting human beings having equal rights under the law with a human being marrying an animal?

It's not hate at all. And his comparison was spot on. Sorry you don't agree. That is why it is HIS opinion. Not yours.

Are gays that are against gay marriage haters? Was Obama a hater before he did a 180 this year?

We definitely needed another thread where religious nutjobs could talk about what their imaginary friend wanted.

Well thought out and articulated comment.

Dogs can agree to legal agreements?
The comparison is not spot on because it is down right ridiculous. Two consenting adults does not, in any realm, equal a human being and any animal.

They must think it's a good analogy because gays do it "doggy-style" of course.

Yes. Just because shares similar views as a whole doesn't mean you give them a pass on a single view.

What if they said they were against interracial marriage? Seems like the sort of company that would've supported that a few decades ago.

Now you are just assuming. I know for a fact Mr. Cathy is not opposed to inter-racial marriage, but you already have formed your own answer regardless of what I know.

He's getting caught up in the religious definition of marriage which has no merit in the definition of marriage in the eyes of the government that determines the things he was cool for his partner to have.

It is not hate to believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. I do not see where it is hate.

Don't think. Could. I've heard of self-hating gays.
Not everyone who is against gay marriage hates gays, but I imagine everyone who hates gays is against gay marriage.

You all are aware that marriage/wedlock/matrimony predates Christianity, right? Christians don't "own" the concept.

If you are against a man marrying a dog, are you a dog hater?

This country has religious freedom, why should Christians get to decide what marriage is? And even if you could, why are there Christian sects willing to perform gay marriages?
Your beliefs shouldn't be grafted onto an issue and force other people to live by them.
Also, animals cannot consent to marry so your argument essentially just called gays animals or at least sub-humans.
Congratulations, and enjoy Christian hell.

Yet the left names everyone who is against gay marriage a hater...well except Obama. He gets a pass.
Maybe, just maybe there are those that oppose gay marriage but have nothing against gays. Just like the guy in the article. Gotta love the "tolerant left".
