Guess who wears the mantle of "justice" again? Guess who lost bigtime, Chik-fil-A Day or no?

FU chic fil a..you’re an embarrassment and weak. and you should be ashamed after all the people took time and MONEY to come out and support your right to free speech and right to support any cause you like.

As it involves a Chicago Aldermen, this would be Government censorship wouldn’t it? Our Liberties are evaporating before our very eyes. I wonder if the deal involved threats.

[nascarnation]

I’d believe what a Chicago Democrat alderman says about as much as I’d believe what a Chicago Democrat community organizer/state senator/US Senator/US POTUS says....

[RIghtwardHo]

Absolutely and utterly unbelievable. Why on Earth did they do this??? Wow. Just wow.

[Responsibility2nd]

You’re not only late to the debate, you are wrong as well.

But - to your credit - you HAVE blindly followed the media’s agenda.

(This is the 4th CFA thread on this issue so far today. And the homo nazi notion that CFA caved in to the queer agenda HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.)

The chain also said it would refrain from engaging in political or social debates.

They said this a while ago, not in response to this Chicago alderman. And I'd guess the stuff about not discriminating on the basis of sexual preference, etc. is the law anyway. Whatever, I go to Chik-fil-A for good chicken sandwiches, not politics.

So, does this mean that pressure will be ramped up by the “LEGAL” community on HOME DEPOT and some of the other businesses that donate tons of money to LGBT agenda causes?

We will see if the Cathy family change their donation habits as a result of this. If so, then I suppose they will find out what happens when their real customers boycott

“This fight was never about “freedom of speech” or “freedom of beliefs,” Moreno said in the statement.

...

The chain also said it would refrain from engaging in political or social debates.

Deciding to refrain from engaging in political or social debates MAKES this a "freedom of speech/beliefs issue".

However, I agree completely with the sentiment that CFA is taking a proper and legitimate stance here. The fact is that they're a restaurant chain, not a public interest or activist group. I doubt very much that the owner(s) and investors are going to feel compelled to "restrain" themselves on a personal level when it comes to either speech or political donations.

So wait...

Chik-fil-A writes a letter saying outlining their existing policy and saying they will do essentially the same thing and the homo’s claim victory?

[Ingtar]

...Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has placed in a company document an agreement that directs its employees to treat people of all backgrounds with “honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender.”

Since that was already their policy, who won again? CFA said this on day one.

[ArGee]

Go on over and visit Winshape's page and see if you can find any evidence that they ever gave money to pro-family groups.

From what I can see, they still support traditional marriage, but it doesn't look like they ever did any contributing.

It actually looks to me like Chik-fil-A solemnly swore to stop feeding chicken sandwiches to dead cats.

LMBO!!!
In other words, Chick-fil-A did absolutely NOTHING except roll its eyes and give this scumbag politician a few meaningless words to hang his hat on as he backed out the door.

Go, Chick-fil-A!
