Threats to Chick-fil-A 'height of stupidity'

Legal team warns city officials who promise trouble for restaurants
Published: 16 hours ago

A legal team that specializes in religious and civil rights and the Constitution says city officials who are promising to punish Chick-fil-A restaurants for the religious beliefs followed by their chief are asking for trouble.
 
“These government officials ought to be ashamed. For a public official to threaten denial of a right to do business because the president of a private company supports natural marriage is the height of stupidity and intolerance,” said Mathew Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel.
 
“Unfortunately, their response is typical of intolerant homosexual activists. They will go to any lengths to silence the majority of Americans who believe that children do best when raised in a natural family with one mom and one dad,” he said.
 
The issue has turned into a firestorm over the last couple of days. Among the results? The Henson Co., creator of the Muppets characters, said it no longer would work with Chick-fil-A. The mayor of Boston publicly bashed the restaurant chain. Chicago officials said they would not want the company to operate in their wards. And “kiss-in” protests were announced in front of company outlets on college campuses.

You want fries with that?

Goose & gander. If the ACLU can attack every cross they find in America.  I guess CFL can haul these intolerant assholes into court.

Gay pandering made-up controversy.   I very rarely watch alphabet news, but saw a bit while DH was watching last night.   Even the local Atlanta stations were jumping on the hate CFA bandwagon.  It was funny that one crew went to a suburban franchise store interviewing customers.  Oh heck yeah they were so upset with such horrible bigotry that they actually put down their filets or stopped with their take out bags in hand  to talk about it.  As usual the place was packed.
