    I had Chick Fil A for lunch...it was amazing.

    I dont care if they come out and tell me they hate Persians with a passion and that they wish all of Iran's citizens, AKA "Terrorists", a slow and painful death...

    I'll still order my chicken sandwich, 12 nuggets, and waffle fries.

    Anti-gay stance?

    The CEO's religious view is that marriage is between a woman and a man.

    The things people get pissed off about.

    The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

    This is America. Chick Fil A owner as well as the Mayor has the right to free speech. If you dont like what they say then don't support them.

    Personally, I am against homosexuality and gay marriage. I also love me some Chick Fil A.

    Well do you have a Zaxby's to go to??

    May have to consider dumping Chick-Fil-A exclusively for Zaxby's

    You certainly have the freedom to be a bigot.
    I also have the freedom to call you out in every single thread from here on afterwards.

    Enjoy exercising your free speech, because I'll certainly exercise mine.

    IDK, seeing as I live in GA, they are everywhere. I have 4 Zaxbys in the city I live in (and our city isn't that big).

    Wait, he's a bigot because he is against homosexuality and gay marriage? WTF?
    Last time I checked the poster didn't indicate nor are there any signs pointing to him being intolerant or hateful towards homosexuals or those in favour of gay marriage.

    This is the kind of **** that grills my seabass. Simply because he said he's against it, he is automatically a bigot??

    Wow.

    The history of this nation and millions of dead and injured people would suggest otherwise.

    I was wondering that too.

    November 5, 2013 from what I read. Menino's apparently been mayor for the past 20 some years.

    But I'm sure he's banking on people remembering this.

    Definition of BIGOT
    : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

    I am not a bigot. I just have an opinion. I am not obstinately or intolerantly devoted to this opinion, nor do I have hatred and intolerance. It is what is is.

    How childish is that?

    EDIT: I'll just end this here. No need to start a volatile debate in here. This is the hangout. This is supposed to be a section of fun and joy.. and relationship threads.
