RE :”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.

...“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.

Yes - furthermore legally all is open to vague interpretation which makes the whole thing murky and hard to pin down.

As in this part of the statement, which is clearly in the minds of the lgbts and was never said or implied:

“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.”

This would appear to be the gay communities’ interpretation of the “Chick-Fil-A corporate culture” - in reality, it is that they cannot bear tolerance merely, and want absolute approval, which is driving this thing. Can that be part of jurisprudence? No longer tolerance , but approval, or cries of “discrimination” and litigation will follow?

LGBT queer rights advocacy group, filed multiple complaints with the Illinois Department of Human Rights

our governments at all levels have simply become too big...this group of queers can fire shots at a taxpaying corp, who has no real ability to do anything but waste cash in defense of their name...they do it, or be penalized by the *law* as 'haters'...

you would think that Dan Cathy wrote the Bible personally or somethin...

eventually, the only defense against these groups will be for the locals to find em and burn em out...
