Chick-fil-A comes out ANTI-GAY

[cannabineer]

EXACTLY. Just because one opposes gay marriage, does not mean that person is against gays or thinks they are any less of a person. It just means they have respect for the sanctity of traditional marriage and possibly other things.

But "sanctity" is just another codeword for the moral corset of those who would teach others what's right. cn

Not to me. When I hear sanctity nothing religious or moral related comes to mind.

[h=2]sanc·ti·ty[/h]   [sangk-ti-tee] Show IPA
noun, plural sanc·ti·ties. 1. holiness, saintliness, or godliness.

2. sacred or hallowed character: the inviolable sanctity of the temple.

3. a sacred thing.

In that case, you have an unorthodox view of that word. To almost everyone else, it's a religious term - indeed one of the definitive religious terms, like "worship" or "soul". cn

Who says the government should be in the marriage business? I guess you are assuming that marriage is a government right as opposed to a human right.

let me know when the government is no longer issuing marriage licenses, bruvva.

 

[Kaendar]

I guess I do. I think its more of the term "sanctity of marriage" than the word sanctity.

I am unable to parse "sanctity of marriage" without it coming back to it being a concept rooted entirely in theology. cn

i had never even heard of this chain before the story broke. there is only 1 in my whole state and it's nowhere near me.

i don't have a problem with religious people owning a chain of restaurants and running them how they see fit...until they start using it as an excuse for bigotry. if your religion involves looking down upon certain groups who have done nothing to you and proudly admitting this in public, i don't want to eat in your restaurant.

i do wonder what this will actually do to their sales. there are many people boycotting but the company is getting a lot of free advertizing. at least 4 people on this thread have commented on the deliciousness of their chicken and didn't get paid a dime to do it. social media is a hell of a thing.

That's what I mean. Gays should not push for gay marriage, they should push for the government getting out of marriage altogether. Government should not be involved beyond legal issues related to contracts.

As long as marital status affects tax status, this'll be hard to make happen. Jmo. cn

Thank you. I was gonna say, what about the sanctity of gay marriage?

It's, uhm, sacroiliac. cn

Misery loves company, let them get married.

Lol and lol! I remember one of the most compelling arguments for gay marriage was "let'm suffer like the rest of us". cn

Marital status should not affect taxes either. Sorry, no financial incentive to be married.

finally a place that stands behind its beliefs its funny how many places you go to will donate money to causes like abortion right bullshit and turn around and donate to anti abortion causes. its never both ways.

dude i'm gay as fuck and i'm against gay marriage. i still eat there. i dont gaf what they think about anything...long as they keep producing great chicken samiches.

oh yeah, that's realistic.

gays should go for the difficult, practically impossible goal instead of the reasonable, commons sense goal of equal rights.

so self righteous.

How's the AIDS treating you now-a-days?

me and you are in 100% agreement the gov should have nothing to do with marriage all taaxs should beseperate. marriage should only be a religuis or choice thing not a legal complication.

Beardo defies classification. As the French say, he gives hors classe. cn
