Chick-fil-A President is Against Same Sex Marriage

[MelodieOctavia]

Anyone else sick of debates about being gay on Gbatemp? seems like there's a new one every few weeks and it's always the exact same. Being gay isn't a big deal these days, It's not a shocker any more and there's not need to go on about it every week. We all know Old religious people can't take society accepting gay people, What's new? It's been drilled into them because of Holy books, They will never listen. Best thing to do is laugh at them, I really can't stand people who have to announce that they are gay every 2nd post either.

I have a really close female family member that's gay and I support her, However as I said what's the big deal?

If you finding yourself announcing that your gay every few posts or going on about it, I'm afraid it's clear you're attention seeking.

If you don't like the topic of discussion, or the content within the thread, you always have the option of moving on to the other thousands of threads on the forum.

I suppose you could say that about any repeated thread Gbatemp seems to be cracking down on. Double standards

Maybe have a gay discussion sticky, seems we need one. That's how bad it is.

You're getting completely off topic.

If you don't like the way things are handled here, no one is asking you to stay. Now discuss the topic at hand, or move onto another thread. I will only ask nicely so many times

Morons who think SSM is "unnatural". Did you know monogamy is unnatural? Humans are supposed to be polygamists by nature, so why aren't people bashing monogamists all over the world?
That being said I hate how good their chicken is, so I, like some people on this thread, have mixed feelings supporting them.

But threads and arguments such as these are way too prominent and the thousands of other threads don't nearly receive as much attention.

It's an eyesore and while I can't speak for the rest of the Tempers from the old era, it's why I stopped participating in this community.

That's nice. If you want to make a seperate thread about it in Site Suggestions, feel free. However, this is not the place to debate it. The thread stays, unless there is an outstanding reason to close it. End of discussion.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Keep it on topic. I'm not going to say it anymore. I'm just going to start trashing posts and handing out warns. If you want to talk about the old days and the decline of GBAtemp, feel free to make a blog post about it, or PM an Admin. This topic, however is not the place for that discussion.

Chick-fil-a has been open about their support for Focus on the family for years now, I'm surprised people are surprised about this

how about we talk about chick-fil-a announced basically the same exact thing last year and no one was outraged until today

 

[Pleng]

I'm left handed and I openly say that I prefer left hands over the right ones,

That is certainly far more ridiculous than anything Mr Flick a Chick (or whatever the place is called) said!

im a bit surprised this needed further explanation, but i'll give it a go. last tiime i checked, a same sex married couple are likely to have sex. since there are of course no vaginas invovled, they have to, ahem, stick it in the butt. Anal sex.

Well a few little flaws there... not all gay couples have anal sex and, might come as a shock to you, a lot of guys like to "stick it in the butt", as you so elegantly put it, with their female partner. I'd be willing to bet a small sum of money (only a small some, mind as I admit to not having done any research in this area) that there is a higher percentage of heterosexuals practising anal sex than homosexuals.

In [some] same-sex relationship... there ...is a masculine male and a more feminine man, which acts like a straight relationship.

Even in those relationships, a 'camp' man is hardly equivalent to a straight female.

On a rather off topic note, I have heard of Chick-fil-A many times and always wanted to try it sometime. Back on topic, I don't really think his opinion is any more important than anyone else's, regardless of whether I agree with it or not.

Personally I don't see what's wrong with what he said (well, from what I read on the source at least), all he said was that he supported the traditional family, I see no wrong with that.
Everyone is entitled to different opinions, and I find this hate towards Christianity just because of what people choose in their life, rather stupid. Also, what he said could be equally offensive to people that nowadays don't value marriage or people that have been divorced. Being entitled to one opinion doesn't define hate, for example, I'm left handed and I openly say that I prefer left hands over the right ones, does that mean I hate right handed people? It doesn't. z.z

Quoted for truth. Why does it matter that the CEO has opinions?.. If this was the other way around (meaning that he came out saying he supports same sex marriage), would everyone pro same sex marriage be swarming to eat Chick-Fil-A? No.

And honestly, just because the President has these views, it's highly possible that not all their workers share this opinion. So just shut up and eat your chicken.

Hi, I heard you guys like apples.

Boston Mayor Vows To Block Chick-Fil-A From Opening Restaurant After Anti-Gay Remarks

So how do you like them apples?

>Views on sexual orientation
>Business

I honestly dont understand this. I personally dont like same sex marriage. To be honest, the less i hear about it the better. It just annoying at this point.

I am also a Christian. I know people dont want me parading around saying "Im a Christian, respect my views and accept me!" with every post and facebook update.
I dont care if you are gay. If you are, great. fantastic. fabulous. Im not going to oppress you or shun you or anything, we can all get along. We just have to accept each other.

As for Chick-fil-A, good for them. I probably would have said the same thing.
This isnt something to get up in arms about.

For some reason I'm reminded of the episode of Community where Hawthorne Wipes goes LGBT friendly because of a sharp increase of sales, only to have Pierce's dad condemn him for endorsing it.

Also this topic looks very unpromising. If it hasn't already happened, I expect this somehow evolves into a multitude of different off topic and all too common debates until it's closed with a moderator saying "You should all feel ashamed".

It'd be interesting to see this chart done with Muslims included. It'd make the white evangelicals look downright liberal.

American Muslims are a more diverse group than white evangelicals (you've got Arab Muslims, South Asian Muslims, etc), but it's something like 70% of American Muslims oppose gay marriage. This is off the top of my head, so I don't have any links.

That chart is kinda funny. Every religious group became more tolerant over the years, and atheist and agnostic dipped down.

That aside, Jewish people sure are an accepting religion. They trump the hell out of other religions for tolerance. Good on 'em.

Dunno. I reckon Bhuddism would give them a run for their money in the tolerance department!

In related news, The Muppets have dropped Chick-Fil-A.

The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I just find it funny that a business built entirely on cocks would not support gay marriage.
