I worked for a major defense/aerospace contractor for 36 years and the diversity training and inclusiveness building we “everday” folks were subjected to was increasingly disturbing over the years. The company recognizes your “same sex partner” for all benefits now but, say you are in a common law marriage, too f’n bad for your family. Most of us recognized we were driving the wrong way on a one way street many years ago and continued to do so despite the constant barrage of forcing “tolerance” on us. Gladly I got laid off/retired late last year and do not miss the PC world of corporate America. “They” are always right and we are always wrong. I hate intolerance!!! LOL!

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.

I wish I could take a count, but from what I’ve seen there has to be tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of posts supporting Chick-fil-A on Facebook. All that I see are calling for friends to go to Chick-fil-A and pump up the numbers - and enjoy a great meal...

Tell me about it. I braved my way in to the u of m to sample their product.

I am going to do it again today.

“Mr. Cathy needs to understand that while his company is privately held, his brand is publicly owned,”

Another revealing little snippet of what Obama and his ilk really believe. I hope they stand firm. The gay lobby's very successful campaign to roll Cracker Barrel on this does not give me hope though.

Yes, he gets criticized just for THINKING WRONGLY. God save us all from the Thought Police.

[listenhillary]

Why do these analysts give a flying crap? Are they impacted by the companies stand?

The KEY fact here. -— “Privately held Chick-fil-A” -—

No investors will be harmed. These stories are all about lame attempts at cowardly counting coup on what they feel is a wounded capitalist.

Any college football fans? If so, how soon before the NCAA drops Chik Fil A as a sponsor for their seasonal kick off game to start the season.

Ate lunch at local CFLA yesterday and took two co-workers. By the time we left around 12:15, the line was out the door. This is in California, albeit a fairly conservative area as far as CA goes.

Did these tards print a similar breathless article when JCPenny ran Mother and Father’s Day ads featuring gay and lesbian couples? Nope. It’s only a “firestorm” if a company supports a traditional conservative position on an issue.

Conspicuous by its absence of the exact words that “offended” everyone.

[Vigilanteman]

Is there any reason to believe businesses who willingly submit to the yoke of the gay mafia will fare any better than the mainline Protestant denominations which have done so?

Not a single one gained either parishioners or donations as a result of said submission. They simply lost whatever effectiveness they formerly enjoyed as a advocate for Jesus Christ and became just another decaying social organization. That is the key mission of the gay mafia in assaulting churches and their key mission in assaulting businesses.

Just as failing former Christian organizations leads to muted opposition to their agnostic social agenda, failing businesses leads to muted opposition to socialism, their economic agenda. This is the real agenda of the gay mafia.

I like it!

All this talk about chicken is making me hungry. There’s a CFA a mile away.

[FrankR]

That article is total foo-foo. Business is booming at CFA, and the more the marys slam the restaurant, the better the business.

My wife ate lunch there yesterday, and it was packed. She saw the manager and told him how supportive we were of their policies and we would support them regularly. He told her, "I'll bet at least 50 people have told me that just within the last hour."

The queers and libs have a long way to go to put CFA out of business.

The people will do the deciding with their dollars and their support.

If just the customers of CFA would declare that CFA is their first choice of fast food and double the amount of times they normally eat there, the other fast food chains would be sucking wind.

The little twerp journalist who interviewed Cathy knew what he was doing, upping his creds with the MSM by feeding them something that he knew they would grab onto and use to distract from obama's downward spiral.

I think the MSM doesn't really give a fig one way or another, but are using this to take attention away from obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe, and running with it.

If the 3% of the population are gay, and they quit supporting CFA, what would happen if the other 97% of us fully boycotted all the firms that support gays and gay marriage.

If you want to make it in Barry’s America, you’re going to have to praise and worship sexual deviants. If you fail to do so, you’re toast.

Just wait until a lefty commits an act of violence or property destruction against them.

I expect that to happen soon.

I would but, the place was covered over with cars and people. Southwestern Baptist Seminary is buying 300 sandwiches on August first. In September will be buying over 3000 sandwiches for an event.

In today's society we drive 30 miles at every whim, make the effort and stand up for what is right.

“Mr. Cathy needs to understand that while his company is privately held, his brand is publicly owned,”
