`but is it illegal for them to do so?
if john q public wants to boycott chik-fil-a because they disagree with who they support with their money that is fine. but for the govt to deny them a license to run a legal business because of it is another thing.
until the govt passes a law that makes it illegal to support anti-gay organizations, it should not be allowed to deny them based on such support.
so should the govt, therefore, be allowed to deny business licenses to christian bookstores?
The OP and 5 people need to learn what freedom of speech means....
The government can deny business licenses to anyone it wants. A business license is not a guaranteed right.

So are you ok with some hick town denying a business license to black people based on race? Or what about a tiny country town that won't give a business license to atheists?
You can certainly disagree with the Family Research Council. But is the term "hate group" appropriate for them?

Go for it champ.
I spent a month in Ft Walton Beach FL on business earlier this year and I ate me some chik-fil-a almost every day. would have been every day but they close on Sundays. I could care ****all about their politics. they make the best chicken sandwich in the business. and as long as they are willing to serve or hire anybody.... :shrug:

Thanks for imposing the false charge that I believe that gays are a bunch of child molesters. Do I agree with FRC studies? No. But rationally, are they a hate group on par with the KKK or NeoNazis? No. You immediately jump in to attack a group and equate them with violent groups like the KKK without knowings its history. When FRC starts hanging homosexuals or killing them in ethnic purges then you'll have an equatable argument. But regardless, the issue is not about the FRC or if Chick Fil A donates to your perceived "hate groups." It's about city governments trying to legally harm a business based on the owner's personal views. This is a violation of freedom.
I love how you continue to call a claim that gays are child molesters "research". You just can't get enough of defending these guys, can ya? You do realize they want to criminalize homosexuality, right? They want to put me behind bars for being in a same sex relationship. That isn't violent? How are they going to get me behind bars? Are they going to wave a carrot and hope I hop right into my cage?
Dude, you sicken me. You sit here accusing people of not checking their bias when you leap to the defense of a hate group because you agree with their fundamental position that homosexuality is bad. Good for ya. You got your silly interpretations and beliefs. But don't make yourself into a hypocrite. That just doesn't look good on you.
I have said it about twice now. I disagree with the FRC's conclusions and have said that their research is biased, and me calling it research doesn't mean that I somehow claim that gays are child molesters. I'm not defending the views of the FRC, I'm just saying that they aren't a hate group comparable with NeoNazis or the KKK.
I'm sorry that you find me sickening because I don't support your belief that the FRC is a hate group on par with the KKK and NeoNazis. I don't think your being rational on this issue, and I would encourage you to reflect on the possibility that you may have some bias. But regardless, I'm done. I have better things to do than try and defend myself against false accusations, straw men attacks and illogically derived conclusions about my beliefs.
All hypocrites sicken me. Especially when they refuse to acknowledge their hypocrisy.

The government isn't denying all Christians a business license. You want to try your comparison again champ?

Violence is not the only means of expressing hate. Purposely spreading false, damaging and hateful ideas about group is another means. An organization that spreads false information that homosexual men are more likely be pedophiles is a hate group. I suspect that the majority of people feel some version of hatred when thinking of pedophiles. Consequently, to smear an entire group with that label is certainly an action either aimed at spreading hate or aware of the potential to inspire hatred.
Moreover, FRC and those who do not support SSM are, in fact, spreading the message that heterosexuality is superior to homosexuality, if not directly, then indirectly by attempting to stop it through homosexuality "rehabilitation" techniques. Similarly, they are certainly spreading the message that heterosexual relationships are superior to homosexual relationships when they argue that the latter should be banned or prevented and the former should be embraced.
You are, straight up, blinded by your bias.
but they are denying a christian business,already explained in a prevbious post as violsating the 14th amendment and also a classic fascist move in not allowing business that dont meet a political agenda
nice dodge. you did say you'd be OK with them denying all christian business owners a license to open a christian bookstore.
