One more point, and I'll come down off the soapbox....

In the article cited above about McDonald's, the anti-gay behavior was that of employees and not the corporation. In fact, the corporation agreed to provide diversity training to 30 Louisville area store managers as a means of settling the matter, implying that the fair treatment of LGBT customers was something they were committed to.

The comparison with Chick Fil A would only be helpful if McDonalds was donating millions of dollars to anti-gay organizations, which it is not.

Let me know, please, when Chick Fil A commits to LGBT diversity training. I won't hold my breath.

Not sure why you posted this article. Do you agree with what seems to be a defense of their position or disagree?

I do not agree with what their private business matters. Again, if my posts have upset anyone, I apologize and I will not mention any place I shop at.

I am having a hard time understanding the reason for this post. Do we really expect them to come out and say that they are anti gay marriage and equality...never going to happen. Actions speak louder than words. This is like expecting Herman Cain to admit he has engaged in the solicitation of prostitution and exploitation of marriage.
