if anything it shows chicago supports fascism.
so your saying you cant refute this in any way
Can you tell us all what is illegal about denying a business license?
The owners of Chick-fil-A are Southern Baptist. Southern Baptist's believe in a literal interpretation of scripture. A literal interpretation of scripture states that homosexuality is a sin, and the marriage is between a man and a woman. The owners of Chick-fil-A gave money to groups that like them believe in a literal interpretation of scripture and all the bigotry that such a belief begets in a modern society. I certainly don't agree with them. I believe that same sex marriage will one day be ruled as constitutional. I believe that not allowing same sex couples the same rights and privileges under the law that the rest of us enjoy is discriminatory. However, I am not religious. Scripture does not dictate my beliefs. So I am not going to fault someone that honestly believes that the Bible is the literal word of God and thus support organizations that share the same view and promote the same ideology. Then again, its neither here nor there with me because I don't eat fast food because its bad for you.
There is a huge difference between the owners of a company supporting organizations that share their religious views, and the owners of a company using their money to weaken environmental or labor laws. The owners of Chick-fil-A were not doing this to enrich themselves, they were doing this because that's what they believe.
If you got a penny for every time you used fascism, you'd be able to afford colour pictures for your avatar and signature.
There are religious groups who interpret the story of Cain and Abel to mean that black people are cursed by God. If those people donated large sums of money to the KKK, I wouldn't distinguish between what they believe and what they are doing. It doesn't matter. They are providing money to a hate group.
This is no different. It's a business that is providing money to a group that disseminates false information about gays in hopes of inspiring enough fear to bring about policy changes and throw gays behind bars. What they believe is irrelevant to what they are doing.
No, I'm saying you made no analogy or sense.
again, the issue isn't simply denying a business license, but denying based on the adoption of unpopular political ideas.
so your saying you cant connect dots unless they agree with your viewpoint?????????????
if only you had a penny for every time you ignored the fact you are supporting fascism.

Uh - wha!?! Sorry - wait... You lost me in the gibberish. There is no such law. Actually, I've argued excessively before that the first amendment grants you the right to worship. It doesn't grant you the right to set up a church anywhere you want.
Ah look at that.....so good.
Again and for the last time because I have to get up early tomorrow:
1. The alderman can publicly state that he will fight to deny Chik-fil-a a business license.
2. The people reviewing the application can provide any legal excuse available to them in order to deny them.
3. There isn't a thing which you could do in order to change the legality of their decision aside from taking them to court by suing.
4. As unethical as you think it may be, the local authorities are fully within their right to make this decision.

Alright. I'm done.

Follow along:
You.
Made.
No.
Analogy.
Or.
Point.
Where did I say specifically that "denying a business license" is illegal.
I stated the government discriminating on the basis of religion or religious views is illegal.
So then you'd have no issue ....
Lmao. Sure. We'll be coming after people who go to dress up saloons next. Better load up them muskets!
There is a difference though. Blacks have the civil rights act. Chick-fil-A was giving money to groups that essentially support current law. I could see where Vermont, Massachusetts, Iowa and other states that allow same sex couples to marry would argue that Chick-fil-A is a discriminatory company because of the groups it has chosen to give money to. However, in Illinois, same sex marriage is illegal. So really, Rahm's problem should be with the state government of Illinois.
Chick-fil-A gives money to groups that want to criminalize homosexuality and other groups that treat homosexuality like a mental illness. That is not current law.

Once again, freedom of speech only matters if you agree with liberal indoctrination.
Can you tell us all what is illegal about denying a business license?
This isn't a freedom of speech issue. His speech was not abridged.
