Yesterday was the Chick Fil A appreciation day. What is Chick Fil A appreciation day? Well to me it was not for or against Gays, Lesbians, Heterosexuals, Bi-sexuals, Trans-sexual, or any other kind of sexuality! It was an expression of Freedom of Speech. You see Mr. Cathy the owner of Chick Fil A expressed his opinion that he was for traditional marriage between a man and a woman. That is his opinion and neither I nor anyone else has to like it.
Once Mr. Cathy expressed his opinion, not one but several idiots took it to mean that well if Mr. Cathy is like that then we must punish him and his food chain because of his beliefs! So as one side of the players came out and basically said yes his food chain is not the type of place we want here, some came out and decided to boycott the place etc…. This is the sad part. These people did not step back and take a look at what this was all about! It is Freedom of Speech!
At no time did Mr. Cathy or anyone from the Chick Fil A ever say, we will not hire, we will not serve, we will not allow, Gays, Lesbians, Heterosexuals, Bi-sexuals, Trans-sexual or any other kind of sexuality! In fact when you go there you are treated with respect, and the folks there are super friendly as well as helpful. You try to go to Wendy’s, BK, or the big M, and you will notice the difference. Whats the difference? You will be treated at Chick Fil A better than any other place! That is the way Mr. Cathy does business! And they serve everyone!
I must mention also here the PETA people. For some reason Mr. Cathy’s opinion angered them as well. This group will do anything to advance their beliefs at others expense! I guess maybe they misunderstood Mr. Cathy’s opinion. Maybe PETA thought that he was only going to fry heterosexual chickens not fry Gay, Lesbian, or Bi-sexual chickens? So PETA got bent out of shape! My question is why is PETA not boycotting the big W, or BK, or the Big M? PETA should hold a conference everyday and announce to everyone who we need to boycott!
His opinion is his and may not be the same as my opinion! As an American I believe you have the right to say what you believe! That is a right that I will fight for and stand with anyone no matter how I feel about what they have to say! But what happened yesterday was amazing! They broke every record in sales they had! Why? Because the idiot powers that should have said well that is Mr. Cathy;s opinion and not mines! Instead the idiots came out and spoke! And the people who stand for the freedom to say what you believe spoke as well! I do not know the work situation in Chicago. But I would think that it would be a real booster to have new jobs come to the fine people of Chicago! Oh sorry I guess your mayor is worrying more about what the opinions of others than maybe bringing more work to Chicago.
If you have never been to a Chick Fil A you are in for a treat! For those of you who do not want to go… stay home or visit the other nice chains where you will experience….uh…..uh….Don’t worry you will experience something!
God Bless,
