CHICKEN BRUHAHA GETS BIGGER

In the United States private corporation's can do as they wish with their money. But it's my first amendment right to protest their position and spend my money elsewhere.

Just so everybody knows, this thread is not about "Hawkeye" and his love of playing the contrarian. My thanks to those who have remained focused on the issue of politics in this matter.

We have one Chick fil A in St. Pete, they haven’t been very busy lately.

What is a 'normal' university?

@jcboy,

I wouldn't think so. The call for conservative action didn't go over so big down there, huh?

A normal university is a teachers' college (from the French école normale). Maybe bright boy here means it's not a teachers' college.

@Setanta,

Um. Yes. I'm sure that's what he meant.

No, it's a Catholic university. Dan Cathy and the Pope aren't too far apart on this issue.

@joefromchicago,

Wow.
I remember when I thought being in agreement with the Pontiff was a good thing.

I hope the institution and people like the owner of Chik-fil-A catch up to the 21st Century before the 22nd century begins.

NASHUA, N.H.—The manager of a Chick-fil-A in Nashua, N.H., is donating sandwiches to an upcoming festival celebrating gay rights.

The support from franchise operator Anthony Piccola for the New Hampshire Pride Fest comes as the restaurant chain continues to be criticized for an executive's comments about gay marriage.

Piccola said Wednesday that the Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in its restaurants "is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect -- regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender." It followed a statement he made last week that said the Nashua restaurant at the Pheasant Lane Mall has gay employees and serves gay customers "with honor, dignity and respect."

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." That unleashed a flood of criticism from gay rights groups and others, who have called for boycotts and efforts to block the chain from opening new stores.

Thanks, Andy. Always love to hear the kindness angle put on these issues!

@Lustig Andrei,

I think Mr. Piccola's gonna lose his franchise. Which would be unfortunate.

@jespah,

I'm not so sure. I've re-read that interview and it seems to me that Mr. Cathy was expressing his personal views and beliefs, not necessarily corporate policy.

It's the 'corporate policy' to donate to anti-gay groups using their profits, so, I'd say that his views are synonymous with their policy.

If you can, listen to the radio piece I linked a page or so back.

Mr. Cathy's personal views and beliefs permeate corporate policy.

This quote is taken from the Forbes article The Cult of Chick-fil-A that ehBeth posted a couple of pages back.

Quote:

Chick-fil-A's corporate mission, as stated on a plaque at company headquarters (and by Cathy), is to "glorify God." It is the only national fast-food chain that closes on Sunday so operators can go to church and spend time with their families; franchisees who don't go along with the rule risk having their contracts terminated. Company meetings and retreats include prayers, and the company encourages franchisees to market their restaurants through church groups. Howe Rice, a franchisee in Glen Allen, Va., hosts a Bible study group in one of his two Chick-fil-A restaurants every Tuesday. He offers a free breakfast to all who attend. "You don't have to be a Christian to work at Chick-fil-A, but we ask you to base your business on biblical principles because they work," says Cathy.
