I gotta say, Dan Cathy has every right to give/donate money to where and whom ever he chooses. It is his money, and if a person does not approve of those donations then don't purchase from Chic fil a. It's that simple. I spend my money where I choose and my donations go where I choose, it is my money and my beliefs that lead me to select who gets my donations or where I spend money. I don't think there is a person here in BFP that would welcome being bashed because of what you believe in. As a matter of fact....we all here experience that now! (or have experienced it)

I am not of the school of being right or wrong. I am however of the school that what matters is the thoughts of people (and opinions to a point) . Knowledge is empowering, if the words and beliefs are said out of fear (religious) and the unknown, that is reactionary. To educate, without forcing something down a persons throat is an approach more civilized and intelligent.

They have gained notoriety, free press, support from haters and more from all this hullaballoo. The money it would have taken to get this advertising they now have for free is invaluable. Now I know mine is not the popular view, but it is how I feel. I am not angered by Dan Cathy, or his beliefs....I am upset that the press grabbbed onto this story and blew it across the globe, and we all.....reacted. Well it's been a day or so with my thoughts. I have no discontent for anyone, I own my thoughts not the freakin press who trys to gain my support by dramatizing and inflating stories to assert their control and attempt directional power. I only wish I had been able to ignore it out of the gate.
