Chick-Fil-A Controversy

I realize this is probably overdue, but since I haven't wrote anything in awhile, I thought this would be a good topic.

Apparently Chick-Fil-A supports anti-gay groups. A couple weeks ago there was this big boycott that happened. Technically, 2 boycotts. There were the people boycotting Chick-Fil-A, and going to KFC instead. Then there were the people who were going to support Chick-Fil-A. I did go to KFC, but not because I was boycotting, but because a bunch of the supervisors wanted to eat lunch there, and since I am a new supervisor, I went with them. I was also hungry.

Here is how I feel about Chick-Fil-A:

There is a Chick-Fil-A on campus. I used to go, but I got tired of it and stopped. The food there was never all that great to me. If I go there now it's because I am rushing to get to a meeting, and need something quick.

I, personally, have not seen anything official that says Chick-Fil-A supports anti-gay groups. I'm not saying they don't. What I am saying is that the only times I have heard about this is through friends posting it on Facebook. And that has only been within this past year and a half, give or take. I have never had the interest to look up the food chain's constitution or anything.

I am a Christian. I support gays, lesbians, transgenders, bisexuals, etc. They can do what they want to do, as long as it does not affect me. They have every right to get married, have children, whatever. I have never been hurt by any member of this community. They have done me no harm. I will admit, I get uncomfortable seeing 2 guys or 2 girls kissing/making out, but I will also get uncomfortable if I see a guy and a girl making out in front of me. Also not going to lie, I have done some public displays of affection, but I have learned from that. Keep the make out sessions in the privacy of your own home. A little kiss is okay, I just don't want to see the heavy duty stuff.

For me, not allowing homosexuals to marry is pretty much saying that they are not human, that they don't matter. Everyone deserves the same rights.

I also think boycotting a food chain because they have different views than you is stupid. If you don't want to eat there, don't. There is no need to make a big deal out of it. From what I have heard, gays are still allowed to eat there. Now, if they were refusing to serve black people, Muslims,  Bugs Bunny, then yes, boycott away.

I am really interested in knowing what others feel about this issue, or what they feel about my thoughts on the issue, so please comment. Don't be mean though. Be mature.
