Chicken Fight. So let me get this straight. Liberals are hypocrites because they dont want to eat at CFA. But you are not a hypocrite because you dont want to go to places that dont support CFA.
Me thinks you dont know the meaning of the word hypocrite...Even worse you support and dont support excluding doing business with companies you dont agree with.
You thinks ???? Maybe not.
I don't ever recall claiming not to be a hypocrite.
And liberals can eat whereever they like. But when they start trying to put pressure on businesses or colleges to remove businesses......you might read the article.
I would never have eaten at CFA if it were not for the Mayor of Boston.
If gay orgs of the world want to get together and plan things and lobby for legislation, more power to them. But when they try to exert power in the marketplace (I am aware of many of the mean spirited things they did to individuals during the prop 8 fight in CA), they have my attention. As does anyone else, black, green, gay, straight, liberal or conservative.
I am reminded of the Montgomery bus boycott. It was a significant milestone in the civil rights movement.
A Chik-fil-A boycott is just carrying on that well-worn tradition, although probably to less effect in the end.
I am half amused and half sickened when bigots suddenly find a struggle for freedom on the part of a long-oppressed minority to be inconvenient to them. "How dare these hated scum ask for the same things I take for granted? Who do they think they are, something special?"
The bigot fails to see it is he who has been receiving the special treatment all these many years. And he actually uses the "we've always done it this way" as justification for continuing his special treatment!
Now the oppressed minority wants to boycott a company that funds bigoted organizations which seek to continue their oppression, and this is hypocrisy? Really?
I find the inner workings of the bigot hive mind to be simply fascinating to behold.
What you might find is your dick once in a while.
Did public schools teach you to be an ass, or did you figure it out on your own.
There is no special treatment. There is the status quo and what society has accepted as "normal" for the last two centuries. The red herring you toss out with the term "special treament is as weak as your argument is stupid.
Said oppressed minority (and what about people who want to marry more than one spouse....you gonna go to bat for them ?) seeks to apply economic and political pressure on business and state run institutions.......not just boycott.
Get it right.
