The far left donates tens of millions of dollars to anyone who even sniffs at the idea of being pro-LGBQT. You'll notice you're eight paragraphs into the article before you hear the name Sean Ryan. This is the state legislator who pushed for the ban. Sean is of the mindset that a Christian-based company -- a compnay that is repeatedly reported as first on the scene of disasters like fires, floods, or hurricanes, handing out free food and drink -- is actually spreading hate and discrimination. His campaign war chest is likely heavily padded right now, and is probably growing with each campaign mailer he sends out about his accomplishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just absurd to me that the notion of intolerance of others beliefs is exclusively applied to conservatives. Basically if you have a different opinion than the liberal mindset your labeled a hate group which is extremely inaccurate and unfair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculous and will end in a law suit. (the San Antonio airport is already being investigated for religious discrimination) The government cannot discriminate against a company based on the beliefs of it's owners in so far as the beliefs do not cause the company to discriminate in hiring practices. It's utter bull####. In reality though, this has nothing to do with religion or even with discrimination... The New York politicians just got word that a restaurant opening would lead to more jobs in the community, and they needed to shut that ***** down....

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The only reason I could see CF not being a good fit at an airport (any airport) is if the airport had few restaurant options, and the Sunday closing impacting that. IOW if the airport has (let's say) 5 restaurants in an airport to serve X number of people daily, and if Sunday is a big flight day at the airport and now only Y number of customers can be served, then CF would not be a good fit. But, to bar them from an airport due to their Christian believes (and walking the walk behind those beliefs)? Isn't that discrimination based on faith? When I read about this when it happened and the local political guy crowing about it, I just shook my head. People are stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically if you have a different opinion than the liberal mindset your labeled a hate group which is extremely inaccurate and unfair. The reason you see this almost exclusively applied to conservatives is because the progressive left specifically chooses this strategy. Progressives do not believe in individual accountability and responsibility. They do not believe you are smart enough to take care of yourself. So they create labels, and assign those labels to you in an effort to communicate what is either right or wrong with your existence. You're not a follower of Christ. You're anti-LGBQT. You're not a skeptic. You're a denier. Your not a person who sees people for their character and not their skin-color. You're an alt-right white nationalist. You're not a person who only believes abortion is only acceptable in cases of rape or health of mother/child: You're a misogynist. You're not a person who understands the difference between a hand out and a hand up. You're a racist. You're not a person who doesn't agree with liberal policies. You're a Nazi. On and on it goes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through this with 6 people in my life as victims and it has shown up in a few work files as well. The demand that a person completely renounce marriage in order to serve in the clergy, if they had any inkling to form a marriage, is inhuman.

Boatdrinks Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Personally, I don’t give a s**t who anyone marries or wants to marry. However ,If a Chick Fil A wants to donate to a religious organization or some other nonsense, who cares ? This is a bad look for Buffalo imo. Do they serve good food for a decent price and have clean stores ? ( in this case the answer is yes) Great, sign them up ! As far as I know, Chick Fil A will hire and serve anybody so what’s the problem? Embarrassing for the city and Delaware North. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
