this chick-fil-a thing is a matter of free speech on the part of the head of CFA, nothing more, nothing less. if he has the opinion not to serve homosexual people, that's his opinion. this issue is of particular concern to me, but i can choose to go somewhere else, i'm not tethered to CFA in any way, shape, or form. the whole issue has gotten blown up by the extremist homosexual community, as are a lot of things. the freedom of speech is something that should be valued and not persecuted. sure i can say that the use of the word gay on the board bugs me a little, but in the end, i can't really in good conscience chew someone out for it (one exception being pedophilia and gay mixed together.....that one fires me up).
this is america, if there is someone that is being a massive ass, you really just have to let them be (i've learned that the hard way recently). even on this board, i find it hard not to strike back against some comments...pick and choose your battles. in fact on this matter, i've basically come out to the board, i'm bi-sexual, i have nothing wrong with that, i'm not going to go waving it around as a pride flag and bitching about comments that make me irritated...in the end, it all comes down to the freedom of speech, and that is something i firmly believe in. the protests from every angle for or against are all getting a bit irritating in fact...if i hadn't known about CFA's policy and came up to a line of protesters, i'd be pissed.
