Fill me in! <br /><br />The CFA thing is killing me. I just have SO MANY evangelical christian friends & SO MANY gay or liberal (or both - ha!) friends, that my news feed is full of both sides & it's just... exhausting. I am a christian, i love gay people... i don't know how i feel about gay marriage, being honest. But i love CFA, i understand that they can believe whatever they want as long as they treat everyone with respect. And they do! <br /><br />Also, i think it's dumb to boycott based on what that company believes or supports. How about going there based on good service, etc, not what some CEO believes? There is a CFA by my work & they have only gotten MORE business since all the boycotting craziness began! I have started to go twice & ended up leaving b/c the drive-thru line was wrapped around the building!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762345038309484326.post-65949074182522772042012-07-31T17:32:05.199-04:002012-07-31T17:32:05.199-04:00All of this with 3 caveats: Paige makes a good poi...All of this with 3 caveats: Paige makes a good point about the henson cfa connection, though I've only read that claim on Facebook so I'm not aware of the validity or not of that claim. If it's true, and it very well may be, then that is definitely a problem. Haven''t read 50 shades but I won't be judging either way. And I've always really disliked Ann curry unless she was just reading straight news, her interviews are awful.<br /><br />But to your post in general I say: THIS!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762345038309484326.post-16333258523393528122012-07-31T14:13:44.705-04:002012-07-31T14:13:44.705-04:00I must be under a rock because I know nothing abou...I must be under a rock because I know nothing about Ann Curry or JCP.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377594606599796121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762345038309484326.post-48418087229545772852012-07-31T13:53:04.754-04:002012-07-31T13:53:04.754-04:00You know, I had never really thought of your angle...You know, I had never really thought of your angle with the Olympic Uniforms. You're right, it IS a fair trade. ;)<br /><br />I haven't read the 50 Shades series. Not because I think it's sinful, or wrong, but because most people in my area are reading it for the erotic points. I think it would weird me out to read them and know what turns my 19 year old cousin on lol.<br /><br />The thing that bothers me the most in the CFA controversy is their attempts to cover it. I read an article about the Jim Henson/Muppet corporation pulling their support with CFA because of the CEO's views. But CFA opted to release statements that their toys were pulled from the stores because of a safety recall. If no sin is greater than another, why is it ok for CFA to lie, but say they are a conservative, Christian corporation that is against gay marriage?<br />I think the real debate needs to be our tolerance for views other than our own. On both sides, I've seen pro-gay marriage and anti-gay marriage speak and act in hateful, intolerant, and disrespectful manners.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392670505606813998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762345038309484326.post-74178758939980400222012-07-31T11:23:12.049-04:002012-07-31T11:23:12.049-04:00What bugs me most about the CFA thing was the mayo...What bugs me most about the CFA thing was the mayor's saying our city doesn't support your views. Excuse me, but when did you get to speak for those citizens! It's ok to have differing opinions. The man didn't say if you don't have my beliefs you aren't welcome, or we won't hire you. He was simply stating his beliefs. I'm trying to figure out when it became unacceptable to stand up for your beliefs and not be criticized because your beliefs are different. Will you please have some CFA for me on the support day as well? I don't live near one:(Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897037441021642059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762345038309484326.post-37719432010240448382012-07-31T10:52:47.994-04:002012-07-31T10:52:47.994-04:00THe thing that drives me nuts about the Chick-FIl-...THe thing that drives me nuts about the Chick-FIl-A thing was that it's not even the *company* that supports traditional marriage, it was just the CEO that said he supported traditional marriage.
