Chick Fil A Controversy

Okay so today, I was asked if I was going to eat at Chick-Fil-A for the appreciation day. Call me naive, however, I was not aware that such a day existed. I know about the controversy surrounding the fast food chain at the moment because one of the executives expressed [after he was asked] his opinion on marriage and announced that he supported the biblical viewpoint of marriage. Once he said that, all hell broke lose, in fact the mayor is suggesting that the chain not even open a restaurant in the city. I've been following this on my twitter timeline since I saw one tweet posted by one of my celebs that I follow. I did a little search afterwards, and lets just say it was a wrap from there. Anyway....moving back to the appreciation day, I thought, hmmmm they giving away food? Giving a discount on meals? If so then hell yeah I would have gone, however, shortly afterwards, I forgot that it was the appreciation day.

Now, that that's out of the way, I want to state how I feel about this whole thing! I think it's B.S. I mean, for one, I have to ask, why the hell do people INSIST on asking others their opinion on gay marriage when they already know the answer that they want. They asked that man that question knowing damn well the answer they wanted, and when they did not get that answer, they were pissed. The same with MISS USA a few years back when Perez Hilton popped that question. (Shame on me for even giving him more attention). It's like they just look for something to get pissed about and look for something to screw someone over for. I did not know that Chick-Fil-A was run by a devout christian family until I did the searching around myself. But again, I still this is nonsense because I'm sure that these gay individuals have family members who may not approve of gay marriage, however they can still show RESPECT for that them (i.e. the family members can still, hopefully show respect and love for their gay family member). To me boycotting this chain for their lack of support of same sex marriage is just as ridiculous as boycotting the Oreo for their supporting of gay marriage. Again, I go to Chick-Fil-A a because it's a good fast food meal. Not once have I ever gone and wondered "hmmm.....I wonder what their religious beliefs or their politics are". If we avoided every restaurant or business that did not agree with our personal viewpoints, we would not get very far in life. I mean, you don't see me avoiding professors who happen not to be christian because I'm a christian do you? Or avoiding/boycotting Disney World because much of the people behind the scenes are gay?

That's all I have to say is I think that it's nonsense and if I want a sandwich from Chick-Fil-A and I'm near one, I will get one, regardless of their stance. Just because one individual disagrees with it does not mean that person is not worth associating with. It's not like they are actively going out of their way to make it illegal or picketing gay weddings. I say grow up!  What do you think? How do you feel about same-sex marriage? What do you think about this boycotting of Chick-Fil-A? I've love your input! Goodnight. Deuces!
