To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself.

Even if you believe in christian dogma that is not true. The bible has many instances of marriage being other then 1 man and 1 woman. Solomon had 700 wives.

But, I don't believe in christian dogma, so your argument does not work. Other religions allow for other sorts of marriage, and they have to be given equal consideration to your religion.

"Charges?" I hope you don't think the controversy is a legal matter.

Personally I don't care what their views are, but they are actively harming people I care about. If they just made their chicken and went about holding a personal oppionion I would respect that. But they are not just saying they don't like gay's, they are actively supporting hate groups with their money. So, I actively oppose them with my protest.

Which hate groups are they "actively supporting?"

Looked at the CFA web site and saw this:
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/FAQ#?category=1

Current News
Q: What is Chick-fil-A’s response to the stories circulating in the media and on the Internet?

A: Chick-fil-A is a family-owned and family-led company serving the communities in which it operates. From the day Truett Cathy started the company, he began applying biblically-based principles to managing his business. For example, we believe that closing on Sundays, operating debt-free and devoting a percentage of our profits back to our communities are what make us a stronger company and Chick-fil-A family.
The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our Restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect –regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 Restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators. Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.
Our mission is simple: to serve great food, provide genuine hospitality and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.

Are you people just calling them "hate groups" because you don't like their stance on gay marriage or what? What is your definition of "hate group"? I keep seeing references to all these "hate groups" but no one has said what they are.

I think you're on to something.

They are all far more normal than homosexuality. You are part neanderthal thanks to interspecies sex. Cousin marriage is allowed by most countries. Polygamy is the normal state of relations for mammals, and use to be far more common amongst humans. Monogamy is for the birds, quite literally. All those sexual activities have led to what humans are today, and are perfectly natural.

No one came from the result of homosexual relations. It's abnormal, unhealthy, and never results in offspring. It's an evolutionary or behavioral failure, take your pick.

First thing I thought of honestly. Wonder if he ate alot of CFA? I always considered CFA kinda healthy. It might be fried and salty etc. but its good chicken and fried in peanut oil, they always use high quality oil which made a difference AFAIK.

I agree overall with your post, except the homosexuality part. :biggrin: Who are you to say what is "normal", "abnormal" and "unhealthy"?

Homosexuality is documented in just about every sexual species on the planet. One could argue that it undoubtedly serves some sort of evolutionary purpose, even though we may not know what it is yet.

Not sure how. If you don't reproduce, you can't spread your genes and there would be not evolutionary contribution.

Your argument is nothing more slightly dressed up version of the "If we allow gay marriage then people should be able to marry animals or inanimate objects" argument. It's fallacious and not pertinent to the topic.

The assumption that it is an evolutionary or behavioral failure is merely your opinion. The exact mechanism(s) that causes homosexuality is not known and to state that it plays no role in evolution while providing no evidence to support that claim isn't the strongest position to argue from. Science hasn't yet ascertained the role it plays but the thinking is that is wouldn't be occurring across many species if it had no purpose at all.

Maybe that's it...maybe it's a gene defect that evolution is trying to get rid of?





(edit: I posted that and realized it really sounded anti-gay. I am not...I fully support gay marriage and have a gay nephew that I care for dearly.)

So, what do you say about countries with negative birthrates? Are they gay? Are they abnormal? If the wife and I choose not to procreate this makes us gay? Or abnormal?

Yeah, show your nephew how much you care for him by contributing to the attempt at restriction of his rights. But who cares right? Greasy fast food chicken is more important for sure.

I always get the grilled chicken with the grilled salad and balsamic dressing. My favorite lunch 🙂 They're one of the few fast-food places that has quality healthy choices.

I don't know why this topic warrants all this ugliness. The CEO voiced his opinion; he is free to shoot his mouth and his foot off if he wishes.
There is no evidence that any company policy discriminates or violates any laws, it is just his opinion.
I'd choose not to give him any of my money, just like several other company CEO's who behave like him. But that's just my choice too.

From my understanding, company money is used to support anti gay organizations that support anti gay legislation.
