That's where a line should be drawn. By saying your business opposes gay marriage you are opening yourself up to a civil suit.
The difference here was that he was asked what he believed in. He simply stated that he believed in the biblical definition of marriage.
Of course marriage is an institution of the church.
That's why government needs to keep their ****ing heads out of it, and I won't support anyone that tries to force government to go along with their own specific idea of who gets extra benefits, tax breaks, inheritance, insurance, etc, because they don't like it because their precious book said it's wrong.
Government shouldn't have anything to do with religious institutions. I don't want the Government telling me how to practice my religion, do you?

Dan Cathy was asked is his COMPANY supported the traditional defination of marrage and he replied "Guilty as charged."
Chik-Fil-A boycott: The first successful stimulus of the Obama administration.
Well, it's the company's money he's sending to fight against gay rights. That's fine, but it's also the right of the gay community to raise a stink about it.
So, should we institute a Christian version of Sharia law in this country? Or should we follow the constitution and get the government out of our religion and leave "the sanctity of marriage" to individuals to practice?
My only comment is that I don't think many (maybe most) Christians really understand Christianity. Christians are supposed to accept everyone as we are filthy little sinners who needed the son of God to die as payment for our sinful nature.
Best post in this thread.
i dont think this Chic-Fil-A vs the homosexuals has as much to do with government as people make it out to be... today, Chic-Fil-A day, was supposed to be for the support of a CEO and corporation that values marriage, as God created it... the media and those pushing a homosexual agenda think they can shout down others, the same way the NAACP and Al Sharpton does, but it backfired big time.. whether government should be involved with marriage is another topic entirely..

Today was my first time at Chick-Fil-A. Went to the one in Schaumburg, parked two blocks away, stood in a line for an hour and bought $50.00 worth of food, enjoyed every minute of talking with the young ladies in line and was impressed with how orderly the entire group in line acted. What I could only guess could be 200 strangers stayed in perfect lines and followed 10 imaginary serpentine turns without pushing, shoving or cutting in line.
Only two instances occured. One was when a guy in an Obama shirt wanted to engage in a brief shouting match with another young man, that was broken up by a few quiet words by the young woman working crowd control. And the other was when a monk and three nuns(NO JOKE!) got in line and everyone clapped.
I really liked the food and was told by a person in line to try the spicy chicken sandwich and lemonade, and she was spot on. Not a bad first time, and the wife and kids liked what I brought them.
I can't wait to see if Chick-Fil-A will post sales for this week.
The food was good but not worth waiting an hour for, but the cause was worth more, to show support for any company being bullied for not trading beliefs for bucks.
If your gay, Great! go be gay, but why force it down everybody elses throat (no pun inten....yeah, it's intended.)? If Gays want to be recognized by the church, why live a life that goes against it? We're all sinners in some way and were born with sin, and ask forgiveness and repent. If they believe in the Christian religion enough to be married in a house of worship and not follow the rules of that religion, what do they gain? If it doesn't accept you and your "lifestyle" then why try and force it to change it's beliefs for you? Tolerance is taught, but why can't a gay christian be tolerant enough to not defile the meaning of marriage for most everyone else?

I know. Glad to know some people in Chicago are normal.
The issue here is the government's view of marriage and its benefits--not one of forcing any religion to accept gay marriage. A church wedding does not say whether or not you can get insurance benefits, or have medical visitations or make medical decisions or file joint tax returns or inheritance rights. All marriages are civil unions, because the government recognizes them. Any couple who is willing to join in a legal relationship (commonly called a marriage) should be allowed to and be recognized by the government. However, whether that union or marriage is blessed by any church would the the decision of the church, but would make the union or marriage no less legal.
If I am not mistaken, a large number of our local population is Catholic. If divorced, can you remarry in the Church or do you use a Justice of the Peace? If not married in the Church because you violate the Church's Christian principles does that mean you are not legally married???? But even so, the government recognizes it as a legal marriage with all the benefits the state provides for that relationship.
Now as far as Chick-Fil-A and their stand, that is absolutely within their Constitutional right (and we here are for the Constitution!) to speak their mind, but they must be prepared for whatever the public reaction may be--both good or bad.
