I agree with you, I interact with homosexual co-workers cordially and with respect, never going into political or social issues or making distastefulness jokes about them. I feel sorrow for them because of this lifestyle which is not compatible with the Christian faith; contrary to some so called progressives members who have you believe. It is officially a grave sin to give in to the lifestyle. It is going to be a tough road ahead because these issues are coming to a head.

I / we have kinda strayed from the original post above but there have been some excellent points made. pertaining to rights versus priveleges, vitriol, tolerance, hate crime (both ways, no pun intended but ironic),
I’m reminded of several quotes: “The truth hurts but it will set you free” and “The better part of valor is discretion” and the one I quoted first “I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” and finally… “Come Lord Jesus, send us Your Spirit, renew the face of the earth”.
I love quotes because they can concisely say what I think I mean…

Are you referring to marriage when you say “equal protection under the law”?
I’d say more but I started another thread on this subject and there’s a nice discussion going on there of which you are a part

Thank you for agreeing with my point.
If the LGBT community doesn’t want to be defined by a sex act, they should probably stop banding together as a community bound together because of sex acts.

No more parades, but I think I’ll keep silent on those free performances of broadway/off-broadway songs they do at Bryant Park sometimes. Love looking those up on youtube.

When I do a Google search for “is Chick-fil-A dominist”, the first 2 links given are jessicajewettonline.com and www.dailykos.com (which the author of www.talk2action.org writes for). Also present are a numerous liberal blogs with an axe to grind (e.g. www.rightwingwatch.org and www.huffingtonpost.com).
Reading their alarmist content reminds me of how Jack Chick writes about the Catholic Church.
A good explanation is from ‘Dominionism’: Sham Charge Reserved for Christian Social Conservatives:
David French writes for the National Review Online in I’m a Dominionist? I Had No Idea:
What I see is the common liberal tactic of dividing the enemy. Of course, Southern Baptists do not agree with us on everything. If they did, they would be Catholic. There are many areas of agreement and that marriage is defined by God as between 1 man and 1 woman is one of them.
Note too the support we receive from them. Mike Huckabee was one of the first to say “we are all Catholic now” in support of religious freedom. They oppose the HHS mandate as much as we do. They support our bishops in this too.
I will be enthusiastically supporting Chick-fil-A without reservation.

So read their OWN authors and see what you find. Read Rick Warren, Chuck Colson and James Dobson. Then read the authors they cite as resources and inspiration. Go deep into that movement and see what the goals really are. Doing that homework over the last five years saved me from being sucked into their trap.
Yes, there are liberals who have done this work and have found issues with it. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t problems there. Do your own and see where you end up.
Eat the chicken, don’t eat the chicken-do what makes you feel good. I won’t be going there, but that’s really more about the fact that I find the chicken and fries soggy and tasteless.

I find it a bit hypocritical that Chick-fil-A is “Closed on Sunday” but are more than happy to have crews of Mexicans laying floor tiles, cleaning grease traps, installing new roofs and restripeing parking lots on Sunday.
Although they themselves might not work, they certainly are not adverse to paying others to do hard manual labor on Sunday for their own benefit.

I think so, at least from my perspective.

I don’t think they’re hypocritical. The only times this could be done is when the restaurant is closed. His people don’t work on Sundays. This is probably one of the few companies that does this. Why bust him over this as well as the marriage issue?
The issue right now is free speech. The owner stated that he believes in marriage between a man and a woman. This is not a novel idea. It has been going on for 5,000 years. We allow free speech…right now. Way things are going, who knows.
There was an immediate call to boycott the restaurant by the liberal left including discussions of whether to allow the restaurant in various cities e.g. Chicago, D.C. Boston, etc. Jobs are hard to find but the politicians are ready to jump all over him because he used his right to express his views.
Wed., Aug. 1, is Chick-Fil A Day started by Mike Huchabee. I think we all should show up and have a sandwich.

Selling chicken on Sundays isn’t allowed, according to Protestant translations of Leviticus.

Funny–I always used to wonder that about people who made a big deal about doing no work on Sundays, then went to a restaurant on Sunday after church for lunch. “We won’t break God’s law, but we’ll pay others to do it!”
More to the point though, I used to work at a CFA and I believe the individual store operator has a lot of say when it comes to what happens in this regard. I’m not sure how much control Corporate has here. My old boss used to pay one of my co-workers “under the table” to do various cleaning projects and so forth on Sundays. He couldn’t get away with it on payroll, but I guess he figured what Corporate didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them, so he paid the guy cash. Maybe the hypocrisy charge would lie more against the store operator than CFA as a whole.

The sad thing is most of the Mexicans are probably Catholic.

I agree with post by aicrit but didn’t appreciate the fact that anything considered out of the norm or questionable is attributed to “the liberal left”. That comment is out of place.
