Chili's in cahoots with 'gay' task force

Christian activist Peter LaBarbera is calling attention to a popular restaurant chain's association with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Homosexual activists called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A restaurants after a Pennsylvania franchise provided box-lunches for a recent seminar encouraging traditional marriage (see earlier article). The national chain and many of its franchise owners across the U.S. have pledged to contribute to everything from marriage seminars to retreats and counseling for its employees.

Peter LaBarbera, founder of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, argues that Chick-fil-A is a fine Christian company and suggests that a boycott of the company is absurd. But he points out that another popular restaurant -- Chili's -- supports the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which he says promotes polyamory, the practice of having more than one open romantic relationship at a time.

"[That group] holds an annual 'Creating Change' seminar with some of the most deviant workshops you've ever seen," says LaBarbera. "They promote so-called 'sexual freedom,' which basically wants to do away with all sex-oriented laws in the United States such as limiting adult industries near neighborhoods."

According to the family advocate, NGLTF is a left-wing organization -- and Chili's supports it.

"And so we're calling on people to stop going to Chili's because it supports this radical, leftist, deviant agenda promoted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force," he remarks.

LaBarbera concludes with this admonition:

The Brinkers are also BIG Bush supporters (Nancy Brinker worked for GWB in the White House for a while) and I think this is one reason that many in the GOP tend to look the other way about the Komen money.

The idea is you not only deny them any income from you. You deny them income from a table that would normally have a paying customer in it. If you go at rush hour most restaurants I know have a waiting line for a table.

With some skill you should be able to sit out (pun intended) at least thirty minutes. Then let them know why you decided not to eat there.

If enough decent Americans were to do this it would have a far greater impact on Chili’s bottom line than passive boycott would.

This is the kind of guerilla tactic the left would use against us. Well lets be creative and engage them first.

I read about the owner in Forbes magazine, a billionaire and “devout Baptist”, he refuses to open his restaurants on Sundays, According to Forbes he losing $500,000,000 per year by so doing.

According to God, he isn’t losing anything. Who you gonna believe?

Thanks. It’s important to get this information out there. I see this Komen stuff everywhere lately. It’s almost impossible to miss.

I’m old enough to remember when most retailers were closed on Sundays, and they seemed to thrive. Something’s changed. Mammon has become today’s god.
