If that all fails, because he’s a close minded asswipe, then yeah, go ahead and proceed to boycotts, and eventually to picketing, and maybe even to a media smear campaign. Do you actually think that even the most eloquent person on Earth could persuade this guy to reverse his thinking? I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to jump to the conclusion that his mind is set in stone. Sure there may be the odd Atheist radio host who ends up becoming Catholic, but there’s a reason such things make the news… they are by far less typical situations than people holding on to some beliefs until the day they die. I can see the point you’re trying to make, but seeing something as being an exercise in futility saves a lot of headaches. Everyone, or most people, would agree that even Fred Phelps has the right to say what he wants, but few people would be foolhardy enough to waste their time in trying to convince that flock that what they do and say is often morally reprehensible. I’d say that wasting the time and effort needed to reason with an unreasonable person (not saying the CFA guy is completely unreasonable) is worse than jumping to the conclusion that their views will not change. YMMV ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Were you the one who said its not a franchise business? Its a link to the page explaining their franchise opportunities. Yes, they started calling it that a few years ago, even though it isn’t a franchise/franchisee relationship in any sense of the word. The operation, equipment, and property is all owned by Chick-fil-a, as are the rights to the profits. The operator gets a cut of said profits, and is limited in the number of stores he or she can run. In other words, you aren’t hurting the operator of chick-fil-a as much as you would a traditional frinchise owner. That being said, I’m probably not going to boycott them at this point. ---

You’re clearly bringing your own preconceived notions to the table. I’ve known dozens of people who have worked for Chick-fil-A at some point, including a family member. Some were pot heads, some were atheists, some were raised Christian, etc. The only thing they had in common was a decent work ethic. ---

I did notice that it seemed to be a different business model than most franchises. It looks like they want their franchise owners to be hands on and not just in it as an investment. Part of their business model. Along with hating gays of course. Like I said earlier I’m not one to boycott for the most part. But the only one I am near regularly is in a food court at one of the nearby malls. And not the one I go to regularly. And half the time I am there on Sunday. So boycott or no boycott amounts to about the same for me. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Is having gays not be married really giving them less power or resources or acceptance? I am admittedly quite ignorant on the subject but I think they’ve been well accepted in our society now, and what “power” exactly is being denied to them by not being married? And when it comes to resources…aren’t “domestic partnership” laws available that give them the same tax, insurance, and legal rights as marriage? One small example: I have two friends who are lesbian and married. They have two lovely children, both the biological children of one of the women. That woman’s mother is a social conservative who doesn’t “believe in” her daughter’s relationship. Despite the couple’s best efforts, the other woman cannot gain legal custody of their two children. If the biological mother dies, the bio-mom’s grandmother could legally take the two children and never let the non-bio-mom see them again. As I say, this isn’t one of those issues where there are two right sides. One side lets this wonderful mother keep her children; the other side doesn’t. ---

Because he can’t get away with it. He’s holding a position based on a religious viewpoint that has historically led to exactly that level of brutal, tyrannical behavior. Judging from history, if some Christian-fascist regime took over he’d be perfectly fine with homosexuals being imprisoned, or rounded up into camps and tortured to death - because that’s exactly what people with similar opinions have done throughout history. > [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > And when it comes to resources…aren’t “domestic partnership” laws available that give them the same tax, insurance, and legal rights as marriage? No. What’s available are deliberately inferior civil unions. > [@ScarletNumber](#): > > > [@](#): > > > > In my area, nearly all of the fast food workers are black. But at Chick Fil a, they are nearly all white, Stepford looking kids. Makes you wonder. And no matter what you say to these kids when ordering, they always reply “my pleasure.” It’s creepy. I want my fast food served to me by a sullen, stoned little punk. > > I don’t enjoy their food, but having Stepford employees is a point in favor of ChickFilA. I like food service workers to be pleasant and to use standard, unaccented, English. Not me. It means they are probably terrorized by their employer into faking being happy, and quite possibly take out their anger by doing things like spitting into your food when you aren’t looking. > [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > I can see where you’re coming from with this, but I think we need a better comparison for gay marriage than what happened with segregation. > > Segregation was violent, bloody, and the white community had general HATE and VITRIOL for the black community…and I’m just not seeing that here. > > Not counting kids and teens, because I don’t think kids should be put in the same league as adults, there aren’t open air murders, huntings, lynchings, and blatant and obvious out and out _hate_ from the straight community to the gay community like their was for the blacks. Oh, please. There’s plenty of rabid hatred - much of the push in Uganda for the mass murder of homosexuals is coming from American activists, for example. And there’s plenty of abuse right here; everything from harassment to ambushes & murder. The main reasons there isn’t more is as said because it’s easier for homosexuals to hide. [QUOTE=Sir T-Cups] The fact that it’s been 30+ years since we as a society have had violent outbursts towards new ideas, and the fact that the laws are in place to prevent that, has made the desire for violence nonexistent. 'Tis also my opinion that the fact that someone speaks out against gay marriage doesn’t mean they hate the gays, they just don’t want them married. [/QUOTE] Nonsense. There’s plenty of violence, and the desire for violence. And yes, people who oppose same sex marriage do so out of hatred; outside of perhaps the rabble-rousing leadership who do so out of ambition, that’s the only reason for opposing it. It’s an example of pure malice; there’s no rational or self interested reason for it, just hatred. > [@Uber\_the\_Goober](#): > > However is still makes me wonder how they get employees to be so damn pleasant regardless if the restaurant is in sunnyville, or ghettotown. It’s like they’re in some kind of attitude bubble where everything is wonderful. “Act happy or you lose your jobs”. Reminds me of the Safeway worker who was fired because she was in too much pain to smile all the time. ---

That’s just silly. First, there’s no way that he could listen to thousands or millions of people at once even if he wanted to. Second, he no doubt got his views by being trained in Christian-fundie hatred as a child, and such people are pretty much immune to argument. > [@Carol\_the\_Impaler](#): > > Yes, it gives them less resources and power.

And that of course is the point of “civil unions”; the infliction of punishment and cruelty on the “sinful”. The homophobes would _prefer_ to just drag those women out of their home and murder them; failing that, they punish the sinners in other ways. ---

If you have a Bojangles in your area the chicken is better and they have really good biscuits for a fast food place. That being said, this is a fast food restaurant not a coffee shop / art gallery / independent bookstore in Manhattan or San Francisco or some quaint college town. In the real world this publicly stated opinion will probably make Chick-Fil-A more popular amongst its customers (mostly middle class white and black people living in the Southeast), and will not cause them any significant business problems. And of course, even in quaint college towns and really big cities you have diverse populations, large enough that Chick-Fil-A has many more customers who will happily buy their fast food chicken regardless of the CEOs political stances than there are people who will boycott. Places like Chick-Fil-A aren’t getting the [GoVeg.com](http://GoVeg.com), vegan smoothie crowd anyway. Let’s say maybe 50% of Americans support gay marriage, maybe only 10% of them (so 5%) at **most** actually care enough about it for it to affect how they vote (a lot large percentage of anti-gay marriage people would vote based on that, most gay marriage supporters are just passive non-opposers and not vehement advocates.) Maybe only 10% of them (so 0.5% of America) care enough about gay marriage to even **bother paying attention** to some fast food CEO saying he’s not on board with gay marriage and making donations to right wing socially conservative groups. ---
