“None of your business” is the exact answer.

Alderman Joe Morono and the Gay Nazis are attempting to flank Chick-Fil-A after a humiliating publicity defeat at the hands of the large majority of American people The "new normal" for the Chik-Fil-A business model will henceforth require cost allocation for Gaystapo lawsuit and propaganda countermeasures, because the Christian owners refused to deny their faith.
To: All
I can see two things happening here...The alderman needs some time to fight off the demands his constituents are placing on him...This could also be a way for them to try and make Chick-Fil-A appear to be back tracking again, without Chick-Fil-A ever committing to anything in the first place. This will make the alderman look like he has tried to do something...Bring this back out again as another distraction during the political season.
If Chick-Fil-A did committ or agree to something, then internally the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing, and they need to fix that pronto...otherwise this could get ugly.

Moreno said Chick-fil-A executives gave him a letter earlier this year saying the company's non-profit arm, the WinShape Foundation, will not support organizations with political agendas. "We were told that these organizations included groups that politically work against the rights of gay and lesbian people," Moreno said. Wow! Now supporting marriage as it has been understood since Adam and Eve is a "political agenda" that harms "the rights of gay and lesbian people." And MOST AMERICANS seem to be buying this, or at least their support for Obama suggests they buy it.
As for me, I went out of my way to get breakfast at Chik-fil-A this morning.

Easy enough, Moreno. Show us the letter, or it didn’t happen.

To be permitted to operate, this company must clarify to a politician, what they choose to do with their profits?
This politician is a pure totalitarian. He deserves the common fate often inflicted on his types throughout the world.

Moreno said the two concessions were the result of 10 months of negotiations he had with Chick-fil-A executives as he weighed whether to support a new Chick-fil-A restaurant in his Chicago ward. He said the executives gave him documents backing up the new positions. 10 months of negotiations for TWO concessions?
Considering that these franchisees are local residents anyway, why should any corporate decisions make a difference?
And who really believes that he started caring 10 months ago, rather than in July when the gay hubbub started?

What we are witnessing here is political correctness run amuk.
This type of thing took place in Germany in the early to mid 1930s.
What we have to come to terms with, is that it take a very sick atmosphere for this sort of thing to be able to work.
Chick-Fil-A one day, soft drinks another, calling someone anti-women the next...
This type of stuff is very chilling if it can work, because what comes next is unthinkable.

I'm still a bit confused about the Chicago deal. Was Chick-Fil-A trying to open a new franchise within the city limits and the knuckleheads went on their fake rampage about homos or did Rahm and this Moreno dude just open their mouths spouting crap when Chick-Fil-A had no plans on opening another franchise? Looking at their locator, they have one at Loyola and one in Lombard, IL. And this statement sounds somewhat fishy. No way he gave a crap 10 months ago about any homo stance from chick-fil-a....

From the filngs, it looks like they stopped giving to objectionable groups in 2010, well before this happened.

Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
- Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
- They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

Any Freepers in Western New York want to pool together and open a Chik-fil-A franchise?
It looks like they want to expand and I guarantee they would be welcome here

People having dirty butt sex isn’t progressive, it’s disgusting. Chick-fil-A should tell Chicago to shove it up their dirty sex ass.

“God has a cure for homosexuals. “
So you advocate killing homosexuals?

Here’s what you quoted:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them.
Do you believe it or not? If you believe it, who is going to put them to death?

You are a wise man for avoiding answering my question . It’s good that you know better than to stand up for that verse.

I believe God. OBEY GOD, or suffer the consequences.
And God said quite clearly throughout the Bible, but especially in the New Testament, that Christians shouldn't buy anything at all from non-Christians lest they be guilty, by their exchange of money for product, of facilitating the works of unrighteousness. /sarc
