[ The fast-food chain has a long and contentious relationship with the LGBTQ community, and it has a reputation for being a homophobic institution. ]
They say all that like it’s a bad thing.
Homophobic
It’s just an overblown inappropriate word. They love to use it because it seems to be a power word with powerful negative connotations.
I don’t agree with the homosexual lifestyle, but I’m not out there trying to persecute them. I’ve had acquaintances that were homosexuals. When social events came along and they were also invited, I treated them like anyone else there.
When the subject of their lifestyle came up, I was honest with them about how I viewed things, but it’s not my job to judge them if they are otherwise decent law abiding citizens.
Am I homophobic? Well, I don’t hang out in homosexual bath-houses with Barry, but if friends get together at a social gathering, definitely not.
I don’t agree with homosexual activism and the nonsense that is being taught to our nation’s children in school. I’ve mentioned this in settings with homosexual people around, and surprisingly the ones I’ve been around are disgusted by it also.
I think the loud-mouthed activists are an embarrassment to almost everyone. The parades, the phallic symbols, the flamboyant acting out, those people doing this sort of thing are the only ones who can’t grasp that too.
