Chick-fil-a

Okay right now there is a lot of hype in the gayverse about Chick-fil-a. In case you hadn't heard about it (where have you been), but they have strict religious views, not necessarily strictly Christian, but religious all the same. As part of that they are not open on Sundays, they cater to Christian radio by sponsoring concerts and events, most of the time for free or very little costs. Overall they have a strong mission statement and a strong way of thinking. What they do not like, nor believe in is a gay relationships, or gay marriage. Okay so lets think about it. There is a hugely successful company that was founded, created and operated with a strong believe system. That is amazing and great that a company can stick by its mission and become successful under its own policies, not by the policies that a society calls "politically correct". In case you didn't know, there is a gay boycott on Chick-fil-a, but really is that going to change the way they operate their business? Are they going to try and make themselves politically correct enough to cater to all types of people, even though they have been thriving for years on the same backbone believes? No they are not. They are not going around saying that they hate gays, and they refuse to serve us, what they are saying is they don't believe in our life style, and don't choose to accept it within teir organization. Thats great Chick-fil-a, keep doing what your doing, keep strong, and keep the company running the same way it has been proven to be successful even without your VP of public relations. To all my gay friends out there. If you choose to boycott a company, you have every right. Sometimes it is for good, sometimes it is not so good, but the reality of it all is that not everyone in this world is going to have the same believes and outlook. There are always going to be groups and organizations that hate gays, blacks, whites, Muslim or any other type of group. The solution is simple.... If you don't like the believes of a company or an individual, you have the right to not do business with them. If you don't like Chick-fil-a because they don't like gays, then don't eat there. There are plenty of other places down the street where a gay guy can get a chicken fix. Kris
