Chick-Fil-A-Supporting B&B Owner Lashes Out at Lesbian
People Planet Profit ^ | July 31 2012 | Zack Ford

Posted on 07/31/2012 11:28:07 AM PDT by scottjewell

Joianne Fraschilla is a lesbian mom in New Jersey whose son has been eager to visit the petting zoo at the WhiteBriar Bed & Breakfast they pass by regularly.

This week, they noticed a sign outside the B&B promoting tomorrow’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” organized by Mike Huckabee, as well as the message “One man, one woman, one God.”

Fraschilla wrote on the B&B’s Facebook wall that she would not be bringing her son there because she was disappointed a local business was anti-equality. She received the following response, presumably from WhiteBriar co-owner Carole Lokan-Moore:

"Isn’t it wonderful Joanne Fraschilla, that you and your son can enjoy the animals here because I have a traditional marriage with a husband who works with me 90 hours a week to take care of these animals, and the summer camp….we’re 66-68 years old….there were no gays or queers in our time…..if two old ladies chose to live together..so be it, let them deal with God when they get there…but to have the “face sucking” thrown in my face of two gay lesbians who are totally destroying the “normal balance in a child’s life” as you claim your son…where is the role model that your son needs to know how to act like a man? or will he only see the “one sided selfishness” of a “single parent”…and end up an out cast in society by being “gay” himself because he didn’t have a father as a role model. I’ll pray for you….remember what the bible says: “Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas”…..guess that’s why God invented aids…

THIS LOCAL BUSINESS WILL BE ONE MAN ONE WOMAN ONE GOD MAKES MARRIAGE….AND PROUD TO DO SO….YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS."

Fraschilla has started a Change.org petition calling on WhiteBriar to apologize for the indefensible comment.

It’s worth noting that Lokan-Moore ran for the New Jersey Senate, but lost in the GOP primary having garnered only 416 votes.

Many conservatives have asked why it matters what Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy personally believes, and the very easy answer is that words hurt...

"words hurt"...or is it the truth which hurts? I often wonder....

Posting this because I notice some issues:

1. The "rant" of the B&B owner actually makes some good points which go unanswered of course. True, this is not the era in which one should state these things openly, but she does make valid points.

2. Had the "lesbian Mom" simply respected the B& B's right to display the "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" sign, as well as the right to define marriage traditionally and to exercise religious liberty, all would be well.

There are B and Bs which do not mind gays in the least.

But they gays do seem to PICK these fights, after which they....

3. run off and start a petition DEMANDING APOLOGIES on Change.Org :

" Whitebriar Bed and Breakfast, Green Cafe, Farm and Camp: Apologize for their discriminatory public statement":

Awesome. Patronize that B&B! Excellent answer. We are all tired of that marginal, extreme element of society ramming their Godless practices down our throats. Enough already.

I love the apology demand.

Look at the age of the owners and their current stance.

I’m 58 and am already getting that “I’ve got nothing to lose” mindset. It’s pretty clear it’s gonna be a cold day in hell before these people come back with anything resembling an apology.

I suspect they would be willing to lose their business over this. They probably figure they could use the free time.

Yeah I feel sorry for this couple. Late 60s, all that hard work, and now they have this mess to contend with. All because of a Chick-Fil-A sign. I posted this because I thought they could use some support.

That was not very “Christian” of the owner to thank God for AIDS. It’s crap like that which makes all Christians look like fools.

Is this woman a Westboro Baptist supporter as well? Does she picket the funerals of American Soldiers? She sure seems like she would be up for it.

Let’s just hope they can afford to quit, and that they don’t get a lawsuit on top of it. The les should just have left well enough alone. But see they are militant now, gone is the live-and-let-live aura of their former years.

The thing that this lesbian mother doesn’t understand is that there are plenty of people that will support these B&B owners against someone trying to ruin their business.

We went to Chick-Fil-A last night and were behind a couple explaining to the manager that they’d never tried the restaurant before but due to the owner’s stance and the resulting firestorm from the LGBT community, made a special trip to try it.

After we were served, we sat by someone that was discussing his choice of Chick-Fil-A in much the same terms. He was explaining to his son that while they couldn’t go there on 8/1, they were there now supporting the restaurant the best they could.

I wonder if maybe the tide is slowly turning in this country and conservatives, church-goers and people with plain ole good American values are finally fed up? I sincerely hope so!

Funny how that works. I'm 61. No reason not to go 'all in' when the Day comes.

Wow! I thought all B&B’s were owned by gays. How refreshing!

I put a comment on a glbt site covering this: http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2012/07/whitebriar-bed-breakfast-in-edgewater-nj-god-invented-aids-to-punish-gays-there-were-no-queers-in-our-time.html

It felt so...naughty. :-)

I’m with you on the AIDS comment. But the rest seemed pretty good.

It also may have been her lashing out in anger. People say and type things they regret later when they are angry and even Christians get angry.

Today was my first Chik Fil A sandwich. It was really good. You got to love an establishment that pisses off all the right people.

Oh, the Chicken Deluxe, side of waffle fries, and an ice cold Dr. Pepper.

Yum.

It looks to me like the lesbian cast the first stone and then ran to her activist friends when confronted with simple free speech that she did ask for.

It’s high time that somebody tells these folks that there are a dramatic differences between tolerance, acceptance and submission. Stating a differing opinion and not taking action against someone is tolerance. Acceptance is acting with support of a position. That has not yet been legislated. But, submission is the involuntary support of a position that the intolerant activists demand of the tolerant.

Some of you won’t like this but here goes anyway, stupid comment by a supposed “Christian” especially the part about aids. If it costs her her business then I don’t really care. Should not have made that comment.

Sometimes I wonder why the ones who call themselves “Christian” always seem the least Christian like.

If my own experiences and conversationas recently are any indication - the answer to your question is YES.

Come November, the silent majority will again vote down gay marriage. So far its 0/31 on state referendums. They only make inroads through legislation from the bench (and corrupt state reps), but that can be overturned.

The very first sentence of your post was a deliberate falsehood.

And it goes downhill from there.

All conservatives should speak out the same way. If the child’s mother was so secure in who she was it would not matter what and elderly couple owning a Bed and Breakfast think or do. She opened that door up by publicly addressing the two.

Words can hurt. Gays and their lifestyles are interfering with the lives of all of us. They expect to beat us down with law and deny us any rights. They want to show porno in schools to show our children how to fist each other, have sex with the same gender and safe sex with the beasts of the earth. This is not an exaggeration. There are public schools that show these films and teach this trash.

And then they turn around and call us evil for disagreeing and saying no. They want us to embrace evil and forget that a better life can be created and lived. They will never know real happiness, but we can. We have the right to limit what our children are exposed to and who we wish to associate with.

Now, off my high horse.

The GLAAD crowd pushes, just so they can provoke a reaction that they can then use to sue, or otherwise get the target into trouble. A simple "You have your viewpoint, I have mine, have a nice day" should have ended it.
