Dan Cathy has lost my family's business. My kids all LOVE to eat at Chick-Fil-A and it has been a hardship for us to stop eating there. We don't do a lot of fast food, but CFA was one place we all liked to eat. Any parent of picky eaters knows how much you treasure a restaurant where everyone will eat. So the fact that I was willing to give that up says a lot about how passionate I am on this subject. I talked with our kids about why we won't eat there anymore months ago and they are all ok with it because they understand the injustice in what CFA is trying to do. Now every time we drive by a CFA instead of hearing requests to eat there I hear things like "Bad CFA!" or "I wish they would do the right thing".
Dan Cathy recently commented that he and CFA support 'biblical families'. Well I guess that means he is ok with men having multiple spouses, having sex with their servants in order to make babies, having many concubines, etc. What a load of crap.
I will never understand why anyone could be against two people who love each other getting married. Who gives a rat's ass if they're two people of the same gender? I sure don't. I think love is love. That's all there is to it. And don't start quoting scripture on me as a justification for your hateful position on this. Unless you don't eat shrimp or pork, don't sleep in the same bed with your spouse when she has her period, stone your children for disobeying, etc, you have no grounds to quote scripture here. There are so many things in the Bible that applied at the time and no longer do. Who is to say what things are to be ignored and what things are to be enforced?
Love is love. And I want all my children to be able to get married regardless of who they might fall in love with someday. This is a civil right issue, not a religious issue. Anyone who is against gay marriage should be ashamed of themselves. And that means you, Dan Cathy.
