I think we all agree that everyone is within their rights. People seem to have a problem with me telling them it is not right to boycott a business because of the owners religious beliefs, which is what i am arguing.
that has already been discredited. sorry.
It is not because of his personal religious beliefs. It is not because of his personal donations to groups. It is because of donations in the COMPANY name to organizations that actively lobby to deny equal rights for a segment of society.
People have the right to protest and boycott. I'm sure each case has different specifics.
You realize that Christians protest and boycott places too, right? Planned Parenthood, adult book stores, gentlemen's clubs, and since you are so fond of the one Christian equals all Christians philosphy, soldiers' funerals.
all mosques in my knowledge teach that homosexuality is wrong and are against ssm. same as the churches these poeople are protesting in front of.

You know, I'm not sure we're arguing anything of substance here. ChickFilA's CEO has the absolute right to express his opinion. He has the absolute right, as the CEO and major shareholder of ChickFilA, to donate to whatever legitimate charities he sees fit. And consumers have the absolute right to reject him and his company by boycotting his stores.
Anyone on either side of the argument have a problem with that?
yes i do. and when christians protest a group based on that groups religion it is no more right. if you are going to try to defend the actions of the bigots discriminating against christians by pointing out that christians do it too you are wasting your time. two wrongs dont make a right now matter how biased you are.
No it hasn't and it has in fact been proven. The company stands by and supports other organizations actively fighting against SSM.
Where? He was speaking for the company. He donated company money.
Show me where he only made donations of his own personal money.
Nope. The only issue that seems to even still exist in this debate is arguing with muciti on whether or not people are bigoted for boycotting Chick-Fil-A
I'm one of those that thinks it's rather stupid to boycott it, but I understand it and have no problem with people who want to do it.
Why do you think it's stupid to refuse to give money to a business that actively works against a cause you believe in?
when you are picking out christian businesses that actively work against it but say its wrong to boycott muslim businesses that do, that is bigotry.

What Muslim business is doing this?
go back and read.
You were challenged to cite an example of an actual (not hypothetical) case of a Muslim business of similar situation (to CFA) and declined to do so. You have an annoying habit of skipping past substantiation of claims generally, treating hype and supposition as being on equal footing with facts.
Hint: they're not.
Also, it's a rather tired diversionary tactic to try to focus attention on alleged hypocrisy of critics, as it takes heat away from the topic at hand (the specific case of CFA owner Cathy and his conduct).

When did I say it was wrong to boycott Muslim businesses?
Is putting words in my mouth bigotry also?
the money that chick fil a makes is his money own personal money. he puts some of that money into another name that is a few pages back and under that name money is donated to various christian organizations.
i dont know. i will flat out ask you then as i have so many others.
do you boycott business owned by muslims knowing that muslims believe that not only ssm wrong, but homosexuality is wrong? Looking for a simple yes or no here.
muslims teach that it is wrong, advocate and vote against ssm and all homosexual activities. (generally speaking). same with jewish people. bahai do not believe it is right. many hindus do not. these religions all teach and advocate that homosexuality is wrong. Why not boycott muslim, hindi, and jewish establishments? Why not protest muslims and their beliefs?
