I dissagree. I won't go out of my way to reward an accomodating business. That is the norm and nothing more or less is expected. I am not that passionate about the gay marriage thing outside of the religious/spiritual context. I am against gay marriage.
Chik Filet gets my enthusiastic support precisely because a man made a statement about his personal values which are consistently reflected in the values of the business. The business is successful and much apprectiated in EVERY community they exist. When they were attacked by idiot Mayors, Chick Filet stood their ground, head and shoulders into the political wind of the liberal anti-business, anti-Christian crowd. They didn't even blink!
I'll wait 2 hours for a $2 sandwich to show how much I support that type of honest, value based patriotism. Had the CEO apologised, I would not have cared much one way or another about the event. My statement was as much about showing our nation and the media that I don't care for politicians bashing American business as it was for Chick Filet and their right to run their business how ever they see fit.
I disagre with your disagreement of my disagreeing
Imagine JCPenny decided to do the following:
1) fire Ellen Degenerate
2) announce that they will no longer make pronouncment for or agtainst any political issues
3) announce they will comply with ALL laws regarding discrimintation, but will not promote any political agenda in any other ways
What would heppend next is that the libtards would lose their minds...Then the protests would start
THEN we could have a ‘day of support’ to show that NOT caving in to the lib agenda is good for business and thereby set a precident that all companines could follow- no one would EVER announce they were offering same sex benefits after that (and the ones that did would suffer the same drop in sales as JCPenny’s)
Penny’s got blackmailed into taking a pro-home stance, at the threat of ‘boycott’
This would make any such threat laughable after that
