Thees intolerant freaks keep this up, the owner of CFA will be a multi-billionaire and the employees will all likely get big fat raises!
Awake yet, Mitch Daniels?!
I thought they served Chicken sandwiches, not GiBLeTs....
Looks like the CEO of Chik Fil A will have to become muslim in order to be anti-homosexual marriage
LGBT is just a sign post for people who are Gratification Freaks; it can't be love, except of pervision. And to think they define their existance by whom they have sex? No other social identity, except usually the daily DNC talking points.
I'd say screw'em 'cept they might want to take me up on it....
So, the american press are named as defendants also? Seein-as-how they (MSM) took the story from a niche media group with limited consumers and published it to hundreds of millions of people. Right...right?
...“intolerant corporate culture” violates Illinois law and a provision in the state’s Human Rights Act ????
I have always been skeptical of employer discrimination and harassment laws and their constitutionality. Now they apply to homos, err LBGTs.
Oooo thoughtcrime! No actual discrimination, just a suggestion of “hostility.” This is where it is going, folks. Hope you all have kept your powder dry!
The 1st amendment protects free speech. It is legally protected. Now, if they can prove that Chick-Fil-A, via their hiring practices, was able to prevent their homosexual employees from getting married to each other, there is a case.
Let’s see how that flies.
“His comments make LGBT people, a protected minority class, feel “unwelcome, objectionable or unacceptable” at Chick-fil-A restaurants, or “public accommodations” under Section 5-102(B) of the Illinois Human Rights Act, Martinez said.”
1st amendment trumps Illinois Human Rights Act. Even if you say it as the leader of your company. Every company is allowed to have values. And those values are protected by the 1st amendment as well.
It would be fun to sue an overtly homosexual local establishment for makning you feel uncomfortable because, as a heterosexual they have done to you what this complaint accuses Chick-Fil-A of.
These guys must really hate the 1st amendment.
Sorry guys/gays.
Where is Judge Roy Bean when you need him?
The name was redacted because the complainant is a hypocrite. How do I know? You can see his name in the upper right on most pages: John Zaharakis, 44 y/o, owner of the gay bar Cocktail in Chicago. They regularly have mostly naked men dancing for the customers, so his claim to be a Christian is more propaganda. His lawsuit doesn’t even state he entered a Chick-Fil-A. Also, look up the Illinois statute. You read further and it plainly states the free exercise of religiously based views shall not constitute a civil rights violation! There’s no record of him having a daughter with his partner, Dusty Hoffman.
But the most hypocritical thing about this all is that his bar discriminates against straight women...they even have a sign! CFA doesn’t bar anyone from their restaurants in ANY way, but John will. Don’t believe me, just google discrimination and Zaharakis. Many of the gay blogs that talk about it even admit that it’s discriminatory. So where’s Rahm & Moreno now? Public records also reveal 15 liens/judgments from the IRS, the state, and private individuals - one of whom was the General Manager of Cocktail! The most recent liens were on July 16, 2012. This is the same day he alleged he felt discriminated against. Someone needs money badly.
This is the best complaint they could muster? The suit itself is baseless and the complainer is the one who should be sued. The arguments these GLBT extremists have are hollow and sensational. Just question their sources before believing the hype.
