My feelings in a nutshell.....

To each their own on their personal beliefs but we do need to respect one another. Yes Dan Kathy has a right to free speech but what he does not have a right to do is use money to breed hate.

Great article with some great eye opening facts on just where your money is going when you choose to support Chik Fil A....Is this really something we as a society should be agreeing with. These are the organizations Dan Kathy is choosing to support with the public dollar. I wonder if Dan Kathy was donating to organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan would folks still feel Dan Kathy has a right to do so...not likely!

Excerpt

"In 2010 The Family Research Center spent $25,000 lobbying congress to NOT condemn Uganda’s “Kill the Gays” bill. They compare homosexuals to pedophiles and the mentally ill, and claim that they abuse drugs and that they are not discriminated against."

Now what really ticks me off is what is now happening to add insult to injury. If the 2 million wasn't enough to anti gay groups now it is being announced that profits from the "appreciation day" up to 30 million are going to be donated to these groups...smh good job at supporting his so called free speech. This is beyond free speech if it was then why does society not feel it is appropriate to support anti black businesses...same concept in my opinion.

Let me add also I do not feel this is a "Christian" issue but an issue of religion and religious zealots. The two are entirely different in my eyes. By definition Christianity is to emulate the thoughts,ideas,and actions of Jesus which if you read the bible Jesus chose to associate and befriend those who others consider lower than others such as the thieves and prostitutes. His actions were those of love,compassion and acceptance unconditionally. Here is the part I do not get with these religious folk...they claim Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that he knew our sins before we ever committed them since he knows the end from the begining. Funny part is about this whole religion thing is that even in the bible it warns about religion and according to the bible the ones who persecuted Jesus were the religious folks. Christian=Christ like...not seeing much of that in all this.
