Chik-fil-a story: please clear some things up for me.

11. Thanks for the article.

A good read.

But I don't know that an argument has actually been made that a government entity should stop chik-fil-a from operating.

Here's the article's fudge: "If Chick-fil-A is violating the law by discriminating against gay people, or by firing women so that they can be "stay home" moms, as one woman who is suing Chick-fil-A says in court documents, that's not exercising religious expression or free speech, and that's not a First Amendment issue. It may be, if the court decides, a violation of the law."

It's a bit of slight of hand. The stay-at-home-mom issue (which I was not aware of until I posted) is really not part of the mayors' complaint--at least not where I've read. So the author of the article above conveniently conflates the two--one that has legal legs and one that does not (at least not now--since stupid non-actionable opinions are not a crime).

Again, protesting the dumbshits from the left is a no-brainer. But I think the mayors were wrong. As leftists we don't want this happening to us.

I imagine most of the protesters there weren't really protesting first amendment rights but were protesting against the LGBT community.
