Just because the company owner is religious and anti-gay marriage that doesn't mean he hates gays.

What's wrong with that? Some people just happen to be more vocal and use their platform to express their views. You can be against gay marriage and not hate gays.

I'm not sure you're really up to speed on Chick fil A.

Bob? Can you help him out?

I'm not all that up to speed, either.. 'cause I refuse to eat that sort of stuff.

I just know that they're rooted in right wing jesus freak politics.. racism, etc - and they're closed on Sundays to give cardiologists a bit of a break, I guess.. oh, and to worship jesus.

Simple question, preferably with a simple answer. What basic human right is Chick-Fil-A denying to homosexuals?

They're really not anymore. They have backed off their ways. But denying the legitimacy of someone's identity. Demonizing someone for simply being what they are, is hate. I think acknowledgement of existence is a human right.

So they're not doing anything hateful but they still hate? What specifically did they used to do that was hateful before they "backed off"?

Can you not read? Go to Wikipedia. It's well documented. And it's another case where rhetoric by someone in a position of authority has led to more extreme behavior down the pike.

I'm no economist.. but if they were allowed to work on Sundays, their wages would be higher.

my suspicion is that they don't have too many full-time employees.. jesus would frown on that.

Low wage earners are the most exploited people in the workforce. Knowing that you'll never have to work at Chick Fil A on a Sunday is a huge deal.

I would suspect it is for some people. I would also suspect that other people would enjoy an extra day's pay.

of course, nobody is forcing them to work there..

I'm guessing some of those low wage earners would like to work on Sundays and make more money.

I'm also guessing some of the new franchise owners would love to be open on Sundays, but toe the company line so they get a franchise.

No you were looking for a gotcha. Here:

Nope. It was a remains a legitimate question. What did they do that was hateful? No one here has answered that.

besides being religious kooks and peddling early death to knuckle-draggin' customers, they hate gay people.

of course, you're going to argue with this and likely move to have me banned.. so I wish you luck in your quest to have your "legitimate question" answered.

If you don't like a menu filled with fried food or don't like chicken you don't give a shit about a company's policies.

If you like that kind of food you don't care if they're only open 6 days a week and closed Sundays. You get your grease/chicken fix elsewhere on Sundays.
