I am pro-gay marriage. But i think all this bullshit against the company is insane. NO way should the government be punishing the company for what they think (and that is what is happening). IF as a individual you don't like the stance the company has don't go.
the reaction by Chicago and such is worse then the stance of being against 2 guys or gals getting married.
government = corporation = people = corporation these days.
essentially, a private company wants to do business in the public sector, under government/shareholder/public zoning laws.
if private company does not meet such standards, then why should they be entitled to build, regardless?
private company is perfectly with their right to "refuse service to anyone, for their own reason," just as public/corporation/government is perfectly within its right to let private company know just how they feel about those actions, and act accordingly.
simply put: local government distributes zoning permits. If a private entity or corp (remember--SCOTUS recently ruled that corporation = individual so...this really fucks over Chik Fil-A, don't you think? ) does not match the standards required by local government to obtain said permit, then they are SOL. Boo-fucking hoo. Continue selling your chicken to the trash that agrees with you.
(This pains me, you see. I grew up with Chik Fil-A. I
love Chik Fil-A...it is one of those destination when I return home, but no more. Whatever. There is plenty of food in life--and much of it is far better; and far cheaper than Chik Fil A)
