You can’t and I don’t. I am just sick of businesses getting involved in completely unrelated political battles. I don’t need to know who the guy who delivers my pizza voted for, or where my local hotdog vendor stands on NAFTA.
Well if this bothers you so much why in the hell do you come to FR? I applaud Chic-Filet. All the detractors are clueless scum. This is but one example why this country needs another civil war!

You should take that up with the folks who are badgering corporations that support various organizations into stopping their support for those organizations. If CFA wants to support the Boy Scouts or Focus on the Family or whatever, then so be it. But gay marriage advocates pretty much force those corporations to either stop supporting pro-heterosexual organizations or be hung. At least there is one company willing to say they stand with traditional family values. Does that mean CFA does not sell to homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers, etc.? No. It just means that they don’t support gay marriage. So what.
I agree with you, but there is a huge difference between the president of Chick fil A quietly answering a question on a radio show, on the one hand,
and (to give just one recent example) Nabisco’s choosing to insert itself into the Gay Stuff debate by Facebook-posting a big fat “rainbow Oreo” with “Pride” underneath it. They also ran big nationwide print ads.
The latter is essentially unavoidable. In contrast, no one gets forced to hear/ see any “viewpoint” just by going to Chick fil A, nor does Chick Fil A include any views in their advertising.
So if Chick fil A isn’t PERFECTLY neutral in terms of what it exposes customers to, it is very close. The only way it could be “perfect” is if Mr. Cathy had said, “No comment.”
