Neither does cake and weddings, but unfortunately we are no longer going to be allowed to have that choice.

Most of us who were there on that sunny August day will never forget. For everyone else, there's a sign: "Above this plaque is a bullet hole. It marks the heroic action taken by Family Research Council employee Leo Johnson on August 15, 2012." That was the morning Floyd Corkins walked into our lobby and changed FRC forever. He'd bought a gun and learned how to use it. He'd loaded three magazines. In his backpack was a stash of chicken sandwiches that he planned to smear in the faces of staffers he hoped to kill. "They endorse Chick-fil-A," he said. It would be a "statement against the people who work there."
Thanks to Leo, it was a statement he never got to make. Fourteen days after someone snapped a picture of our staff smiling over boxes of Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, Leo was the only thing standing between Floyd Corkins and an FRC massacre. To a lot of Americans, the company's decision to walk away from years of biblical truth is upsetting. To us, it's personal.
In the days and years after that, we never talked publicly about Chick-fil-A's response to the shooting. Mainly because there wasn't one. Through all of the press conferences, the trial, and sentencing, I never once picked up the phone or opened my email to a message from someone at headquarters. Not even to ask about Leo. Obviously, Chick-fil-A wanted then what they want publicly now: as much distance from our movement as possible.

Just curious...who are the n00bs?
Well, aren’t you special!
I don’t do FB, but went to your link, and it appears that either CFA or FB is wiping the posts as quickly as they are being posted.
I am unfamiliar with Dr Laura, but what you said struck me as odd. Surely there must be some explanatory context regarding this?
So I looked it up. What she said was (and I paraphrase) "Rap artists can say N*gger, N*gger, N*gger, and nobody says anything about it, but if a melanin challenged individual says it, it's a big deal. " Or words to that effect.
So in other words, characterization of her expressing it in a racist context is just wrong, and it serves the interests of the left to spread the rumor that she is a racist who says racist things.
Ah....so you are a troll.
Let me clarify - I wasn’t before.
Corporate giving to traditional conservative/religious charities will go down.
I have read elsewhere that this isn't quite true, and that Ebay is still using paypal, they just hide it.
It all comes down to the opinion of her advertisers, management and affiliates.
Our options on the matter are of no relevance.

Was hoping you’d check the Welcomes in my posting history, and your post to which I responded had responded to one of them.
I already attract enough unwanted attention here, would prefer not to call anyone out by handle.
Excellent response.
Hardly. That is a naive understanding of the phenomena. What actually occurs is this little army of troublemakers badgers these corporations with threats, intimidation, boycotts, bad publicity, embarrassing incidents in their businesses, personal accosting of themselves and their employees, all in an effort to threaten them to do what the F@ggot brownshirts demand.
After so many success of these f@ggot Nazi brownshirts, they now have so many corporations cowed that people routinely fold when they are confronted by these sick perverted bastards.
Oh, and the race based brownshirts do this same tactic too.
Yes, an excellent article. Tony hits all the points dead on. And I’ll believe HIM before I believe the posters on here dismissing CFA’s traitorous move as nothing.
You seem to be a purityphobe. Am I wrong?
Be careful what you characterize as a “mistake.” This was the deliberate throwing of Christian ministries under the bus. That’s no mistake.
They can atone for what they did be reversing course with a short apology to their supporters. But I don’t think they will.

Exactly. Now they will toss some cash at some random Democrat affiliated black church in Atlanta and tout their donation as “faith based”.
If the story is fake, such a damaging story would be quickly countered by Chick-fil-A issuing an immediate denouncement of it.
They have not done so. I don’t expect they will, unless and until they suffer the predictable financial blow-back that is certain.
There is no concept of reasoned behavior. The Left is full bore under the leadership of compulsion driven neurotics.
No truer words.
Those who think they can disengage and therefore not be affected by the fascist political battle waged by the left are either tragically naive, or are just rock stupid.
