They are afraid.
BIG business (and “big” is the key word here) has a national presence (possibly even international), and thus must do business in areas friendly to sodomites. They also want universal policies in place that will be the same from area to area. This is especially true if most of their presence or corporate headquarters is in sodomite friendly territory.
BUT, here is the kicker. If they have to compete against SMALL businesses in an areas that dont want to do business with sodomites, then they would quickly be driven out of business in those areas.
Chic Fil A is a perfect example
It wasn't that long ago (less than 10 years ago) when you would see lines backed up to the street at the McDonalds and Chic Fil A relatively empty. Then Chic Fil A took a strong stand against sodomites.
NOW, the Chic Fil A Parking lot is full, and they have TWO lines of cars wrapped around the building nearly every hour they are open. Meanwhile the McDonalds is nearly empty.
That is an excellent point, Tex. We don’t need to boycott the WalMarts and Apples of the world. We just need to shop closer to home.
No doubt Mr. Cathy’s position on legalized sodomy has had an impact. People with deep religious convictions resent being told they must find perversion acceptable. In a small way patronizing a business that embodies the same values and beliefs as you is a good slap in a face to the tyrants who try to force their will on you.
All that plus CFA has rather decent fast food and the staff at their restaurants treat customers like family. They also don’t mess up your order.
Yeah, but Chick-Fil-A could be kicking puppies in the back room and I'd still wait in that line. Their product is superior to McDonalds. I don't think most of the people in those long CFA lines give a rat's ass one way or the other about the company's stance on gay marriage. They just like their food.
BTW - I'm in Philadelphia, not exactly a hotbed of conservatism.
Not even true. Most of these giant corporations do business in Saudi Arabia, where if they catch you in the homosexual act, you get trussed up on the gallows with extra weight added to ensure that your neck snaps. We can debate on the merits of Middle Eastern pederasty but the fact is that in the Middle East, People who are homosexual get killed and no one within the middle East, or in the United States, gives one $%^$ about it.
Regarding McDonald’s even Burger King gives you real portions for the occasional junk food binge. McDonald’s seems to have gotten complacent in their business. Chick Fil-A, well, not exactly the same old deal all the time.
You know that they want the government to help them stay a Monopoly.
