In Defense of Eating at Chick-fil-A

[EgaLitE]

11. Um... no.

As far as I'm concerned if you're a christian and you eat at chick-fil-a you're just the same as a muslim who goes and eats at a business who openly donates money to al-qaeda or the muslim brotherhood.

This is not a question of business or freedom. It is a question of morality. It is immoral to support hate and bigotry and anyone who thinks it is "all right" to give money to anti-equality, anti-justice organizations is sorely mistaken.

I've boycotted businesses for less. For instance, I stopped going to the local McDonald's just up the block when I found out the manager was a republican. I don't want to be contributing to his salary. Also when I found out that a local italian. restaurant was owned by Republicans I stopped going even though they probably have the best food in the neighborhood. I like ethnic food but when I found out that the owner of the local korean grocery was donating to anti-choice hate groups, I stopped going there as well.

Like I said this is about our freedom not to give money to hateful bigots.
