Chick-fil-A President is Against Same Sex Marriage

[purechaos996]

Why does this matter? Does this mean I can oppose something controversial and make the news? Chick-Fil-A has some dang good food though so I'm not going to stop eating there.

I think the whole premise of this thread is intended to be that not supporting same-sex marriage is irrational, foolish, and a thing of the past.

But again, America is pretty much 50/50 split on their views about marriage. Strong arguments can be presented for both sides for and against. For an example, same sex marriage of course plays a strong hand in spreading std's. Not sure if that point can even be argued against.

Could you provide some facts to back that up? Are you just assuming that gay = aids?

Source has a poll that stated 54% support gay marriage and 42% are against.
Feel free to believe whatever you want, just don't try to force it on me.

Also, for example, "regular" marriage plays a strong hand in spreading children, and our planet is becoming increasingly overpopulated, so...

So, the CEO has every right to express his opinion. Big f***ing deal.

It actually is a big deal. People are denied the rights to visit their loved ones in hospitals because of anti-gay legislation, among many other hindrances. No tax advantages for marrying gays, no way to share health insurance benefits, etc etc.

It's more than that. It's not just his opinion, it's the opinion of the entire company. From what I understand, they're a very Christian company: closed on Sundays, etc.

But what do I know? We don't even have these in Canada.

He ultimately has no control over jack shit. People act like he's a big threat when he's actually not and get so uppity over quite nothing. I'll buy Kraft/Oreo/Whatever and Chick-Fil-A when I feel like it. You know why? Because its food and I don't into politics.

 

[raybattousai]

This has been public knowledge for years. They have openly admitted to not hiring gay workers and other horrible practices.

Never heard of this place till now. Would still eat there if I wanted chicken and was a tourist in america. As far as I'm concerned I'd be buying a sandwich there, not a nay for prop 8.

im a bit surprised this needed further explanation, but i'll give it a go. last tiime i checked, a same sex married couple are likely to have sex. since there are of course no vaginas invovled, they have to, ahem, stick it in the butt. Anal sex. The rectum wasn't designed (or evolved, whichever you prefer) to have a penis inserted into it. The rectum is very thin, the tears and bleeding can provide easy transmission of std's. No coincidence why std's are high among gay men.

It's not where you stick it in, it's whether you're using protection or not. And from what I can remember from Sex Ed, men have a bigger sex drive, which, because in a same-sex relationship, means that they'll have sex more often.

Last time I checked, monogamous relationships like marriage tend to help prevent the transmission of STIs.

I don't understand why people think that only Christians/Jews/Muslims are against same sex marriage. I know tons of people who are either christian/jewish/muslim who don't give a shit about God and are against same sex marriage because they just simply think its disgusting. And then I know tons of athiests that are against same sex marriage as well for the same reason.

This shit doesn't belong in the USN. Plus, it's just fucking chicken. People are seriously retarded.

It's mainly because of how homosexuality is prohibited in their scriptures, at least, for Christianity and Judaism.

I think libs who support gay marriage have to learn two words tolerance and diversity. It seems to me that people that support gay marriage hate diversity of thought and they are by far the most intolerant people I know. It's really boarder line fascism they way libs try to beat people down in the media to don't tow the ideological line. It's this sort of group think crap that had made me leave liberalism and change my views on gay marriage
