Chick-Fil-a to stop supporting anti-gay organizations.

But will most people really care if they're found under a bus?

Yeah well, it's come out that the story you guys were crowing about Chick-fil-a backing down was bogus, just like last time.

Or maybe the cultural conservative crowd threatened to stop giving Chick-fil-a their business unless they went back to gay-baiting.

More likely a Chicago Politician and the left-wing media lied in order to try to save face (cause the politician had to back down or end up getting the city of Chicago sued)...

And how would that be advantageous for the liberal media and the Chicago city government, as the truth would eventually come out? Makes more sense the right leaned on them.

Actually, it was more likely that the Chicago City Government and the left wing media didn't anticipate that Chick-fil-a would call them out on this...

Chick-fil-a didn't lose any business from their standing up to liberals like yourself, in fact they had an increase in business.

It so happens liberals like me stand up for the rights of gay Americans, who the chicken boss apparently thought he could just walk all over.
And I actually practice what I preach - I had spent the afternoon at Valleyfest, here in Spokane Valley, collecting pledges to support referendum 74, which affirms the right of gays in Washington state to marry. That's a right that the state legislature of my state had already recognized, but homophobic bigots have gotten enough signatures on their petition to try rolling back the rights of citizens of my state, simply because of their sexual orientation. And that's why I oppose the chicken man so much - because he probably had given money to try making gays second class citizens here in Washington.

Chick-fil-a is an American franchise; so what are they going to do, other than give you dirty looks? Saudi Arabia is a far different situation, with no connection to American and western love of liberty.

What I find the most pathetic is the fact that someone takes a position on an issue then caves in to social pressures (regardless of what the issue is) and subsequently turns around and abandon said position in an effort to save their own hide or appease those offended. Why do people lack b*lls and spines? I couldn't care less if someone was pro-gay marriage or against it, as long as they don't waver under the slightest opposition. Think of it in these simple terms: Would you want to associate with someone you knew for a fact where they stand or someone who is "shifty?"
