You don't know anything about Southerners if you think we're all like that. I find their politics to be ridiculous, but it comes as no surprise from a company that shuns revenue and profit just to close on Sundays.

Jenksismyhero Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think this is kinda bulls***. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/bre...,0,929023.story So they support one definition of marriage. There's been zero evidence that the store, or its employees, discriminate in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a personal opinion that never affects how the business runs or operates, especially as it pertains to homosexuals. I just find it hilarious the double standard.

But now, if the alderman thinks that a Chick-Fil-A isn't a good fit for his constituents, he doesn't have to let them in. It doesn't matter what the individual store general manager, manager or employees might believe. Shoot, that particular store could be a bathhouse by night and it wouldn't matter. If the parent company believes it, the company should expect the fallout to all of its stores. Bottom line, if Chick-Fil-A were really and truly worried about expanding your business into cities that trend to the left, shut your mouth about these issues and open your restaurants.

I really don't think you can make a zoning decision based on religious belief. If the store opens and people don't eat there, that's different.

Most Muslim sects don't give women the same rights as men. How many of them haven't been allowed to open mosques specifically because of said discrimination? Not allowing something specifically because of their religious views is illegal. There are backdoors around it, usually bs zoning issues, but to flat out blame it on a religious issue is the very definition of discrimination, and is opening the City of Chicago up to a big lawsuit.
