Chick Fil A faces back lash for presidents views on Family Values

[itsmeJonB]

Has the business itself made an official comment about their stance?

Has any employee or potential hire ever stated they were discriminated against based on their sexuality by the company?

I only saw where the owner responded to a question on a radio show.

So much for the right to free speech

The owner/president of the company represents the company to the public eye and should have worded himself better. "my belief is "this", but we do not discriminate those who "that""
Employees are not to blame, and I'm pretty sure nobody is blaming them.
Everybody has the right to free speech, but they have the right to remain silent too, and have to deal with whatever repercussion may occur when waving that right

If you read about the entire conversation and what was said, it's actually kind of blown out of proportion by the media IMO.

thats a shocker
BUT the response from the LGBT community is more telling of who really is offended

 

[Alien Allen]

Free speech is supposed to be free speech in the US

Yes it comes with consequences

This debate is about trying to deny one to have free speech.

IMO

It doesn't. One man does.

The hilarious thing is that only 30 people showed up to that kiss-in.
Oh and that dumbf*** Rahm Emmanuel thinks that he can keep a company from setting up their business in Chicago.:24:

 

[AUFred]

The local Chick-fil-A is on my facebook newsfeed. They sent out a note the day before the "kiss-in" to not create a spectacle and to treat the protestors as valued customers and to treat them with respect.

Exactly right. This isn't about denying opinions to assholes, as the saying goes. I think most are just sick of being demonized/seeing homosexuality demonized, especially by people with even relative power.

But he didn't intend to just express a harmless opinion, did he. He intended to openly align himself with anti-gay organizations, instead of secretly.

see, they respect the gay community.

The implication of which is 'and no other kind'.


I did hear a rumour that he donates to organisations with an anti-gay agenda. How true that is, I don't know.

I can't help but wonder why people think that complaining to someone working at a fast food restaurant will really make a difference.

Kicker is, this idiot Smith goes and video's himself being an asshole to an employee who probably doesn't give a rats butt.

The young lady handled the situation very well. She was far more mature in the situation than the guy who created the original video. I feel sorry for her because she was in a no win situation. She did her job amazingly well. She was just trying to earn a living not make a political statement.

Frankly I feel sorry for anyone who works in a fast food joint period.
