i think my biggest problem is the space to hate that has been created due to the founders stance on equality and marriage. even if i was gonna choose to go there it probably wouldn't be safe for me to do so for any number of reasons.one reason would be my overall fear that there is one petty hater that is gonna be making my sandwich and know i am a queer and decide to do something unthinkable to my meal. the second reason is that as a trans person my bathroom space will never be respected with the attitudes the company has set in place. they would probably call the cops on me for using the mens bathroom. thirdly if there is an incident ever involving me or anybody i love on any chik a fil a site we/ i will probably be seen as the bad guys because we all look like and are queers.

As a business owner it is never a good idea to support anything oppressive what so ever. The only reason chik a fil a can do so is because they are a billion dollar company and can do whatever they want because our religious influenced oppressive government has set it up so they can also oppress and i think that is now pretty obvious the influence big money has on our social policies. Chik Fil A is big money. They have people attempting to sue them all the time for their hiring and firing practices.

I think the same thoughts can be applied to a city or state. It is not in any city, state, or country's best interest to bring in companies that have oppressive policies and philosophies. It is not in any cities, states, country's best interest to have any equality issues what so ever. They lose good companies that are progressive. They lose talented young people to other progressive cities in other more open minded areas. We see it here all the time where I live. No protections for LGBT so we lose companies, we lose opportunities to have big companies here, and we lose talented young people.

Anti equality anything is hurtful anywhere to our economy, our people and the world as a whole. It does not create jobs when companies don't want to be in the same city as a company like chik a fil a. It doesn't create jobs when a city doesn't have protections in place for lgbt people. So if a city has a supportive LGBT policy and practice it makes perfect sense to me not to welcome chik a fil a in.
