[OFFICIAL CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION FILED BY GAY RIGHTS REPRESENTATION AGAINST CHICK FIL A - IL]
The Civil Rights Agenda, a local LGBT rights advocacy group, filed multiple complaints with the Illinois Department of Human Rights Thursday, alleging that the Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A restaurant chain’s “intolerant corporate culture” violates Illinois law and a provision in the state’s Human Rights Act.
“In our current high speed media and social media environment, Chick-fil-A has announced and caused to be published, to hundreds of millions of people, that LGBT people are unacceptable and objectionable,” said Jacob Meister, Governing Board President of TCRA and the attorney who filed the complaint. “They have made it clear the lives of LGBT individuals are unacceptable to them and that same-gender families are unwelcome at Chick-fil-A.”

I hope Chick-Fil-A doesn’t just settle.
This is more lawfare from the left. Inventive conservative legal organizations need to figure out to counter with their own lawfare to make the price too high for this form of free speech and religious harasssment to continue.
They are out for blood if you do not contribute to THEIR causes. It's like the AIDS RIBBON BULLIES episode of Seinfeld.
Not only pissing off, but actually horrifying. This is blatantly absurd: CEO said all would be treated with equal dignity in his restaurants regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation.
We really are in a civil war now.
No doubt about it.
I think this was revenge for yesterday - plain and simple.
Looks like Chick Fil A had a big success yesterday! The HomoNazis are in a tither
This is why we need to speak out strongly against HomoNazi groups...and....whip some of our own back in line when we call groups acting like fascists “Nazis”
Take a stand, or someone will step on you
LGBT... it’s not just a sandwich.
Absolute lies, CFA NEVER said gays were not welcome, could not work or eat at their restaurants. The CEO merely exercised his 1st amendment right and expressed his opinion on same sex marriage. The right of free speech is loudly proclaimed as long as you don’t disagree with any leftist libtard agenda.
I was willing to take the high road on Friday, and I still may. But my patience is wearing thin. I still don't think this fight should be at a CFA location, but there should be a fight, and I think its high time we took it to them.
What this means is they are going after Chick-fil-A’s pocket book/bank account to punish them all possible for going against their will, and that means WE have to step up to the plate (pun intended) in support of Chick-fil-A all the more.
I’ll be adding a stop at Chick-fil-A to my usual shopping stops every Thursday in Moreno Valley.
Doubling down on ignominious defeat is always a good strategy.
/s
Remember . . . What goes around, comes around.
We are having dinner at CFA shortly. We were there yesterday for breakfast. I am sick to death of homosexuals demanding we approve of their perversion.
Why the Dems should just mandate that the USDA require that all roosters be evolved to gay and all chicken hens be evolved to lesbians. Any rooster who goes hetero on a hen will be first circumcised publicly and then charged with a hate crime. That will fix Chick-fil-A for good! (”
Now they intend to run all the restauranteurs out of the state who don't kiss up to homosexuals.
There's no end to this stuff.
We need to just start calling these people Sanduskies.
I use to be the same (the libertarian part of me..) until the folks from “ActUp!” starting breaking things in SF back in the late 80’s. I’ve been against Gay marriage ever since.
He left out "Filthy", "Disgusting", "Perverted" and "Obnoxious Irritating Whiners".
Hate speech/hate crime against Chick-Fil-A ....oh wait, didn’t some Dimwit DU say that corporations are not people? So then how could you sue non-people?
