Thought Boston Was the Birthplace of American Freedom

Guess times have changed.

I could not care one iota about your personal prefrences about who you want to sleep with. But this tactic is most likely going to end up in court.

Freedom of speech is alive and well in America - as long as it is vulgar or vile.
However, thought-crime is being pursued vigorously. If you do nothing more than express a preference or belief that, in the case of the Chick-Fil-A founder, is shared by perhaps a majority but certainly at least a large plurality of Americans you will be vilified for thought-crime. How you actually treat people or conduct your business operations do not matter as much as what you believe or might do with your private money. Welcome to the brave new century.

When I first heard about this, I thought, "COOL! Now the lines at Chick-Fil-A will be shorter!" But it has backlashed both on me and the LGBT community. As of this morning, Chick-Fil-A has over five million likes on their FB page. That's about twice what they had before this "controversy" started. Not only that, but now there's a "Support Chick-Fil-A Day" on August 1st. I've got no problem with what two consenting adults want to do. But the LGB-Tards who insist on pushing the agenda are increasing the support and the lines for CFA. Way to set your agenda back and screw up my lunch hour all at the same time.

Speaking of freedom, how can a Mayor have the authority to "ban" a restaurant from expanding in a city?

 

[OMG]

Isn't it one of the responsibilities of a mayor to try to recruit new business to the city ? Chik Fil A is owned by a conservative family who provide jobs to thousands across America. I would think that if you lived in Boston and needed a job, that is one of the first places that to would apply to. I don't think that an elected politician should try to prevent a legal and private business from operating in his city simply because the owner has a point of view that is different.

I hope Chick-fil-et sues Boston into bankruptcy!

CFA has the right to believe what they want, but they are contributing to groups who believe that not all Americans should have the same right. Just saying.

They are? Do you have proof of such contributions besides false and mis-leading websites.

everyone support the store in MWC, off of I40; not only is the owner cool as heck, but he's not gay!
