Chick-Fil-A is "Guilty as charged!"

Posted: 7/25/12 at 8:50amCarlos, I wish I were joking--I just always read it as some sorta weird slang, accented take on "filler" or something--chickfilla'. I was joking on the enlightening bit though--I could care less how their stupid restaurant name is pronounced (take that, Chick-Fil-A!)

Posted: 7/25/12 at 10:05amSo Chick-Fil-A believes that it's not okay to be gay, because god said so. But it IS okay to bear false witness if it helps you get out of a jam? As usual, religion used by haters when it's convenient and ignored when it's not.

The City of Chicago doesn't think so (And, incidentally, this isn't even the GAY Alderman doing this- Chicago really is San Francisco on the lake!)
A Chicago alderman wants to kill Chick-fil-A's plans to build a restaurant in his increasingly trendy Northwest Side ward because the fast-food chain's top executive vocally opposes gay marriage.
Ald.Proco "Joe" Moreno announced this week that he will block Chick-fil-A's effort to build its second Chicago store, which would be in the Logan Square neighborhood, following company President Dan Cathy's remarks last week that he was "guilty as charged" for supporting the biblical definition of marriage as between a man and woman.
"If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don't want you in the 1st Ward," Moreno told the Tribune on Tuesday.
Moreno stated his position in strong terms, referring to Cathy's "bigoted, homophobic comments" in a proposed opinion page piece that an aide also sent to Tribune reporters. "Because of this man's ignorance, I will now be denying Chick-fil-A's permit to open a restaurant in the 1st Ward."
Chicago don't play that

Chick-Fil-A's PR department is run by monkeys.

The stupid kind of monkey.

Hey!! Take treat back! Monkeys are quite clever and support non-traditional marriage.

Posted: 7/25/12 at 12:26pmThis has all been just TERRIBLE for their image. I can not believe a company that wants to make money would make so many dumb moves as we have witnessed over the past couple of weeks.Their image is forever ruined and IMO, that is very poor business. They should stick strictly to Red States if they want to one day Preach how their company is so Christian and then the next day Bitch about how unfair it is that they are labeled Homophobic.You can't have it both ways Chick- Fil-A.

I think that's all people have when they hide behind the bible to justify their bigotry, or rather to justify the acts of oppression done to others in the name of their bigotry. Before I stopped engaging with commentors last week, I was astounded at how many people claiming to be "Christian" were telling flat out lies to bolster their arguments in favor of what Chik Fil A did.
This has all been just TERRIBLE for their image
Has it, though. I mean, yeah, we're all riles, but even on here we have people saying the effect of, "Well, I don't agree with what they've done, but their chicken just tastes too good!" And THAT, above all, seems to be the consensus I see elsewhere as well. Maybe I'm just a cynic, but aside from the noise, I don't know that this is really going to affect Chick Fil A at all.
I'm torn about the Boston thing. Is it legal? Does Boston have the right? I'm not sure I know.

It's bad for their business though because they're being denied permits to build some new stores.

True, but I wonder if ultimately, it's been legal for them to be denied those permits and if this sort of "persecution" doesn't just play right into their hands and the hands of their supporters.

Posted: 7/25/12 at 12:53pmI know in Chi-Town the alderman have almost limitless powers to deny zoning permits in their ward- that's why it took forever to let Walmart in.

Posted: 7/25/12 at 12:55pmTrue. I mean, I see the distinctions - Chick Fil A uses its profits to fund groups that work to disrupt the lives and gay and lesbian Americans. I just wondered what I can say to Chick Fil A apologists.

Posted: 7/25/12 at 12:56pmI'd say Chick-Fil-A doesn't have a "right" to build a restaurant anywhere they want. People picket against Hooters coming in or a 24 hour convenience store being built- we can sure as hell say "no mor chikn"!

Posted: 7/25/12 at 1:00pmExcellent point. I mean, the real discussion is that we should categorically not be allowing groups to work on legislating against groups of people because groups offended another's religious beliefs, but here we are.
