The key word being "more".... They already eat there because they like the food.
I haven't seen anyone here say "chik-fil-a's food sucks but I'm gonna eat there anyway because they hate gays"
There is a local fast food chain in my area called "Jack's". I think their food is horrible. If they came out tomorrow and supported the idea that miltary vet's shouldn't pay income tax, I still wouldn't eat there.
Where are these Chik-Fil-A's located? Certainly not in Rochester that i know of? Damn shame, I'd visit them frequently. Taking stands works both ways.
Tim-
Ahem - see below:
I respect the rights and opinions of business owners. If an owner doesn't agree with gay marriage, so the **** what? Let it go and stop being so damned sensitive. I cannot believe this Rahm schmuck thinks he can punish people who don't share his views. It's a dangerous precedent to punish people for their points of view.
Did you know that Dan Cathy thinks you are "emotionally handicapped"?
What if it was your lifestyle that he said was going to bring about "God's Judgement"?
I'm not sure who this Dan person is, or what person you say he's thinking is emotionally handicapped.
I realize there are those who will have extreme positions that I think are ridiculous. Let him talk. It doesn't bother me, whether he speaks about me, or others.
And the guy from Chick gets the consequences good or bad....so fing what?
Dan Cathy is the President of Chick Fil-A. He says that kids raised by single parents are "emotionally handicapped". Does that make you want to support his business?
Though I wasn't raised by a single parent, I would agree with him that there should be two parents to raise a child. Whether gay or straight, I think that there just being one parent could, in some way, put stree on the one parent who has the burden of raising the child, and that in turn would cause the child to feel anxious as well. The child may think, "what will happen to me if my only parent, my support, dies or is severely hurt? What will happen to me?" I don't have any rigid science to back my opinion. It's just one man's opinion.
Whatever view he has, I don't care. As the consumer, as one who appreciates business, I'm there to buy food and enjoy it.
Should we outlaw single parent households, or just the gay ones?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Is this Dan guy pressing for laws to outlaw single parents, whether straight or gay?

It's funny hearing all the conservatives bad mouth the boycott, however, many of them have no problem over boycotting businesses that don't say Merry Christmas.
He is giving money to organizations that want to outlaw homosexuality.

he shouldn't be denied a location on government property because of his beliefs as long as he doesnt break the law. He can be a homophobe and bigot all he wants, as long has his restaurant serve and employees all in a legal manner so be it.
as is his right to do so
Would it be OK to arrest somebody for saying they are against SSM?
Would it be OK to give them 2 years in prison for saying they are against SSM?
The government action is what surpresses free speech.
That is the same effect here.
The government is trying to scare people into not saying what they feel out of fear of government action against them.
Nah, he just donates some of his profits to groups that say mean things about homosexuals
as is his right to do so
Never said it wasn't.

Well as someone who was raised by a single parent, I can tell you I never thought or stressed about those things. However, my best friend growing up did think a lot of the time "What if my dad hits my mom too hard?", "What if my mom overdoses on the white powder?",What if my dad crashes the car because he is drunk?", and "What will happen to me if I call the police?".
Just because a child is being raised by two parents, does not mean it is better than being raised by a single parent.

Noone here is saying he doesn't have the right to do so.
