[Breaking]The Civil Rights Agenda files complaints against Chick-fil-A [LGBT Revenge]
Chicago Phoenix ^ | Aug 2 2012 | Tony Merevick

[OFFICIAL CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION FILED BY GAY RIGHTS REPRESENTATION AGAINST CHICK FIL A - IL]

The Civil Rights Agenda, a local LGBT rights advocacy group, filed multiple complaints with the Illinois Department of Human Rights Thursday, alleging that the Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A restaurant chain’s “intolerant corporate culture” violates Illinois law and a provision in the state’s Human Rights Act.

“In our current high speed media and social media environment, Chick-fil-A has announced and caused to be published, to hundreds of millions of people, that LGBT people are unacceptable and objectionable,” said Jacob Meister, Governing Board President of TCRA and the attorney who filed the complaint. “They have made it clear the lives of LGBT individuals are unacceptable to them and that same-gender families are unwelcome at Chick-fil-A.”

It doesn’t matter. They want to make Chick Fil A bleed, financially. If they have to defend themselves in court, even if they win, they would have to spend time and money. This is strictly for harrassment. Isn’t there something called RiCO that is supposed to punish this sort of organized harrassment?

This must be tossed out on First Amendment (free speech, free practice of religion) grounds. If not, it’s time to go to war with the fags and their enablers.

The turnout at CFA yesterday will embolden the company execs, methinks.

“In our current high speed media and social media environment, Chick-fil-A has announced and caused to be published, to hundreds of millions of people, that LGBT people are unacceptable and objectionable,”

This is plain and simple: The militant faggots state that the First Amendment is something that they disagree with. This will not turn out well for the leftists or the raging homos: It puts, front and center and in simplistic terms, the issue of the over-reaching judiciary and government aparatus that seeks to force us to accept even the things which we personally find objectionable. Even the mushy-middle independents will see this as a blantant crock of sh*7 and will join in turning the tide against the immoral, militant, leftists.

Absolute lies, CFA NEVER said gays were not welcome, could not work or eat at their restaurants

In fact I believe I heard on Rush the other day that CF serves AND employs gays. I don't think it's on their job applications, and I don't believe when you place your order you're also asked what you sexual preference is.

How in the hell can there be hostility towards “same sex marriage?” There is no such thing. Marriage between one man one woman is the law of the land and always has been! If anything, these perverts are hostile against the constitution and the rule of law.

This is a full frontal attack on our first amendment rights to freedom of religion and free speech!!

Liberals and usurpers be damned! Full steam ahead!!

Can there be any doubt that the homosexual movement is based on hate and anger? If they were happy and content then who cares who might question their live style. But based upon their actions it demonstrates the vial nature of these people and their intolerance for anyone who questions a lifestyle they themselves hate.

I agree! Fortunately for us, if we assume a high and defendable position, we can pick them off two at a time, as they will likely be "cuddling" in their bungfoxholes.

Dan Cathy NEVER said that homos were not allowed at Chick-Fil-A..what the left is doing now is Nazi protocol. This is why we must get Obama and his cronies out in November otherwise this country is screwed. They are like a cancer that must be destroyed. This is what Nazi Germany did and look what happened. This is the agenda of the far left, if you disagree with them, they A..try to destroy you..B..try to run you out of town..and C..if all else fails they want you killed..november can’t come fast enough as far as I’m concerned, I just hope the American people put a stop to this otherwise we are all screwed

Did you see that Wendy’s is supporting Chick-Fil-A on gay marriage! I will eat more frequently at those establishments from now on.

You might want to check a bit further before you start supporting Wendy's. Yes, one large franchisee did put out a sign saying "We stand with Chick-Fil-A". That sign was then taken down, apparently at the urging/insistence of Wendy's corporate office. (It may have been in violation of the franchise agreement.)

Wendy's corporate later posted a tweet that the sign had been posted by the franchisee and it had been taken down. They finished their tweet with "We proudly serve ALL customers." My impression was that they were disavowing the franchisee's views.

Yes, unless they can provide demonstrable examples of discrimination. Of which none have emerged to date. Getting your feelings hurt because the CEO expressed a personal belief you don't like doesn't count.

This is a nuisance/harassment action designed to force CFA to spend money to defend itself and to intimidate other businesses. CFA will win, but I have no doubt that, given the monied interests on the other side, this will be persecuted all the way up to SCOTUS.

Our response needs to be to continue patronizing CFA. I used to eat there occasionally, but as of right now its become my defacto choice for fast-food dining. The other alternatives don't need my $$$, CFA does.

Who else is with me on this?

Yeh....when WE boycott, we stay away from businesses, don’t buy a product or turn the channel, etc. When WE activate, we chip in, promote something, buy something, support something.

When THEY boycott, they interrupt business, create chaos, shove their in your face arrogant SINFUL agenda (kiss-in) in our faces, or try to take away our rights, if they don’t agree with us. And when THEY activate, it’s the same thing....

All THEY know how to do is tear things down, destroy what is good and push and force their beliefs onto others. They are evil and they are working for the wrong side.

Truth and good WILL win. It ALWAYS does!!!!

A small periodical published since the nineteenth century with focus on Christian issues interviewed the principle of the firm and asked about how his beliefs helped in his business outlook.

He said the believed in the values of marriage and that (they) were married to their first wives and related issues.

No question mentioned homosexual “marriage” issues and no answer mentioned homosexual marriage.

For expressing his values, when the report was covered by other media, it was turned into a statement given in opposition of the current media gloried Gay Marriage agenda and became a platform for demanding Group-Think in the tradition of 1984.

A homosexual male who lives with his male partners is not a Christian.

And it’s amusing this cowardly little perv (or his queer handlers) have blocked out his name.

There are NO SIGNS in CFA banning homosexuals or their families. In fact, no one would even pay any attention to them - except courteous service. - Hmmm..mm . . you don’t suppose they actually INTEND for people NOTICE them, do you. Could it be an element of . . notice me, notice me?

A class-action against the Civil Rights Agenda lawsuit is in order, which should state: They have made it clear the lives of Christian individuals are unacceptable to them and that normal traditional families are unwelcome to them.

Queers are served like normal people at all Chick-fil-A’s. But queers are NOT welcome at the Chicago Islamic Center, yet I don’t see anyone attacking them.

This isn’t about the queers’ rights. It is an attack on Chick-fil-A’s owners because they are Christians.

This lawsuit is precisely why we need to stay away from CFA during the kissing protest. Part of this case will be demonstrating that the actions of CFA caused a “hostile environment for them. That would include people “praying” at them or pointing their fingers at them while laughing. Both of these were suggested behaviors in another thread.

I am speaking at a conference next month where the conference organizers were right up front with their policy: harassment is a matter of perception and NOT of intent. I told my management that I was leery of attending based on these rules, but it’s my job.

It's AMAZING that a lawyer who could write a sentence so poorly could be admitted to the Illinois Bar!
