Chick-Fil-A Nonsense

Gay rights protesters to flood Chick-fil-A for Same Sex Kiss Day to counter Huckabee-inspired Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day - NY Daily News

If you haven't heard, the president of Chick-Fil-A openly expressed his disapproval of homosexuality. I'm here to once again point out hypocrisy among the pro-gay crowd as well as a fact out businesses people should be aware of by now.

So, the hypocrisy: one of the main gay arguments for why homosexuality is acceptable is that it harms no one. We shouldn't speak out against it because it doesn't harm the people involved or anyone around them. What they do behind closed doors is no one's business. That's cool. The president's comment that has everyone so fired up was "gays are inviting God's judgement on our nation". So, who here was harmed? The gays protesting looked in pretty good shape to me. Some of them even had huge smiles on their faces in the pictures I saw. I wasn't harmed when I read the statement - I feel like a million dollars right now. Were any of you harmed after you read his remark? Someone who essentially says "I don't like homosexuality" harms no one, yet gays instantly protest as if their lives were being destroyed. The president did not make a threat, or solicit someone else to carry out a violent act, or say anything along the lines of "gays deserve to be killed". Just so everyone here remembers: homosexuality is okay because it's not harmful, but expressing disapproval of homosexuality is forbidden... despite the fact that it isn't harmful. Gays have the right to speak out against things that aren't harmful - just not everyone else. Bear that in mind for now and evermore. And since you guys like to compare gays to blacks, lets do that for a second: when we protested, we actually had valid reasons to. We were being hosed down, hanged from trees, raped without receiving justice, thrown in jail for crimes we didn't commit, denied education and jobs, you name it - it was happening to black people. Gays protest whenever someone has a different opinion than their own ( something that harms no one ) so what we have here is a comparison of apples and oranges, and not only protests, but they've resorted to vandalism as well: Chick-Fil-A In Torrance, Calif., Graffitied With 'Tastes Like Hate' . It's nice to see that your lot is not only hypocritical, but they're turning into criminals as well. What's next, setting fire to the restaurants or assaulting their employees? And here is the best part - the artist says it wasn't vandalism. Yeah, my jaw is on the floor too.

Moving on to the second topic: the world revolves around money, folks. If a business president were to come out and say "we love gays", it doesn't really mean he loves gays. It means, just like Obama realized, it's in his best interest to say he does even if he doesn't because it's beneficial to him. I'm sure gays and their supporters would flock like the sheeple they are to a restaurant or business that proclaimed they were a "business that loves gays" - completely ignoring the fact that what someone says and what someone truly believes can be two totally different things. To give you an example, I don't for a second believe Chris Brown, who recently made the public remark "love who you wanna love", isn't homophobic. I grew up in the "hood" just like CB did, and the term "faggot" is always used as an insult, and if there was a gay kid around, we'd stay away from him just like any other people we deemed "weird". Chris Brown just knows that coming out and saying "screw faggots" would cause him to lose however many homosexual and homosexual-supporter fans he has that keep his pockets fat. As a matter of fact, I commend the president of Chick-fil-A, not because he is religious, but he is one of the few people who voices his honest opinion as opposed to lying just to save a couple bucks. Sure, it probably hurt the business in some way or another, but at the end of the day, his integrity was in tact and he went to sleep that night knowing he didn't lie just to stay rich.

For the record, anyone coming out JUST NOW saying "gay is okay" is most likely a hypocrite, because if they were so passionate about the topic, they would have come out and said it years ago - not just in 2012 where it happens to be convenient and beneficial to. Chris has been singing since 2005 - why is he suddenly advocating gays now? Same goes with everyone else who is all "we love everyone" these days. Just a bunch of lying, greedy dumb dogs with not an ounce of integrity left in them. I wished we live in a world where people's morals meant more to them than their dollars did. And this doesn't just go for the homosexuality debate - this goes for EVERYTHING. The "pastors" running these mega churches, like Joel Osteen, are no different. We are not supposed to pay tithes - meaning people like Osteen who do are robbing millions of people. Jesus NEVER collected tithes from anyone, and always GAVE FREELY. When you go to his website, the first thing you see at the top is "Purchase A Copy Of This CD". He even completely twists a scripture out of the bible on his website to make it mean what he wants it to mean in order to justify tithing. It's ridiculous. Soon the world is going to be filled with so many conniving liars with no concern for values that it's going to be absolutely unbearable to live on this planet and impossible to trust anyone. I'm thankful I was born now when there are still enough decent people in the world that I can maintain my sanity. I don't know how the upcoming generations are going to make it.

I congratulate anyone who had the patience to read all this. I didn't realize it had gotten that lengthy.

OK. He's not gay. Is he NOT narcissist? He is jobless. Is that because he's an idiot narcissist for putting up evidence of his condition on YouTube? If I was a betting man....

You seem to dismiss homosexual's reasons for being somewhat sensitive to this issue, and their choose to undermine their reasons for protesting. However, you then turn around and admit that you engaged in what is arguably discriminatory behaviour, which you describe as the norm where you grew up. It is hard not to see the glaring logical problems with your rambling.

Also, you have taken it upon yourself to state that since "the world revolves around money" that it is the likely the only reason people will change their minds. Would you care to explain how over 50% of the general public is profiting from gays?

That being said, I think the president of Chick-Fil-A is entitled to state his opinion, I do not condone vandalism, and I find the guy in that video to be idiotic. But any sane person knows hitting a sensitive topic will likely bring about some backlash.

Because he disagrees with corporate homophobia he must be a homosexual?

Oh, and I think it is entirely fitting that you use a slur like 'faggot', which is basically like calling a black individual a 'nigger', when you can't even spell it correctly. It tells us everything we need to know about you in several different respects.

I can't believe I'm actually reading this in 2012. I would give you a share of my own hateful vocabulary, but this website seems to have a strict policy against that (though for some reason they will allow you to say that when we actually have openly gay/lesbian people here).

What is the alleged "corporate homophobia"? Only thing that has been "alleged" is that the CEO holds a "Biblical" view of marriage- one man and one woman. Its an opinion that was held as recently as three months ago by the president of the USA. Perhaps the opinions of the gentleman is "evolving."

It's an incredibly dumb belief anyway. Like, knuckle-draggingly dumb. I wouldn't even trust someone that stupid to turn chickens into food.

It's also incredibly dumb of this guy to not keep this to himself. Not very responsible of a company owner.

Because those reasons are hypocritical. As I said, saying something that isn't harmful is acceptable, but then turning around and protesting something that isn't harmful is a complete contradiction. The comment made by Chick-Fil-A president was not harmful and therefore, the "things that aren't harmful are okay" crowd should not be protesting it. It's the equivalent of me opening a church and collecting tithes after I just made that huge rant about it not being okay.

However, you then turn around and admit that you engaged in what is arguably discriminatory behaviour, which you describe as the norm where you grew up. It is hard not to see the glaring logical problems with your rambling.

That has nothing to do with anything, and it goes both ways. I could say everything you say is invalid because you didn't grow up in such an environment and are therefore more likely to side with gays. Which is retarded.

Also, you have taken it upon yourself to state that since "the world revolves around money" that it is the likely the only reason people will change their minds.

Actually I was referring to business owners. But now that we're on to just regular people that aren't "changing their opinion" for money, the reason they do it is most likely fear now. Not fear that they will lose money, but fear that they will be lashed out at. As your link states, 50% of people are in support of gay marriage, so it takes more courage to come out and express dislike for gay marriage like what the president of Chick-Fil-A did. People who are too concerned with "getting along" with people or are obsessed with how other people view them are likely to start approving of homosexuality. I am one who believes in what I believe in at all times - I don't change my values whenever those values become inconvenient or less favored by people around me. And everyone else should be the same way. Instead what we have nowadays is a bunch of people who are closet homophobes - people who will say they're okay with you to your face to not offend you, but in reality they don't want anything to do with you. I'd rather a racist man tell me straight up he has a problem with the fact that I'm black rather than smile in my face, shake my hand, and pretend to be my friend when really he'd like to hang me from a tree.

It is harmful, actually. People kill themselves over anti-gay bullshit.

People should be ashamed about anti-gay views. It's absolutely disgusting. It's no different at all from racism.

The comment was not personally directed at one of Volconvo's "openly gay/lesbian people" so does not contravene the rules.
