As we have all seen/heard on the news, the popular fast-food restaurant, Chick-Fil-A is still taking a hit because the gay community objects to the founder supporting traditional marriage. In order to make their point, they plan to boycott, harass, and hinder service and customers at the restaurants because a CEO dares to enjoy his Democratic rights to have a personal opinion. Chicago is even trying to have the restauant banned from the city. According to the CEO and founder of Chick-Fil-A, he has welcomed and given good service and food to everyone coming in for a meal. He doesn't discriminate in hiring so there are gays on staff. He respects other people's life choices and expects his own to be respected, too. So, what's the point here?
A protestor was interviewed on the radio today and his objection was that the CEO of the restaurant used his own money to support traditional marriage. If supporting organizations in line with your beliefs is going to be deemed wrong, does that mean we have to give every church money in the Sunday collection? I mean, if I give five dollars to my parish, shouldn't I be expected to support the other denominations in my town? Makes about as much sense as trying to put a company out of business because you object to the owners use of his private funds.
