Chik Fil A Caves To Activist Mayors

Announcing today that they will no longer support anti-gay groups.
How are they defining anti-gay groups I wonder? Obama's re-election committee pre-2012?

Mayors against Illegal straight chickens?

While some suggest that the long lines on the Huckabee-declared "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" demonstrate that the company's bottom line wasn't affected, I would suggest to you that there's really no other reason for the company to back down other than it hit them in the bottom-line. We KNOW it wasn't because they had a sudden change-of-heart about their bigotry.

So, I guess the 1-2 day rush of business couldn't make up for the longer-term boycott of their businesses... (Seems I remember predicting that at the time...)

To answer the question in the OP, I think they're defining anti-gay groups as the clowns at places like Exodus International, Focus-on-your-own-damn-Family and the Family Research Council, ad nauseum.

They are opening several new stores here in CO.

How exciting.... Since I've stopped going to their joints, I wish them well with their revised, profit-centric, business model.

Creating Jobs both now and after they are finished.

Don't know that I would classify a promise to "re-evaluate" something as caving, more like appeasing long enough to get something approved, but that's just me I suppose. Had they promised to "end all funding" for such groups instead of saying that it would be "re-evaluated", I think you might have an argument that they caved, but it seems to me that the "re-evaluation" could easily result in a decision to continue doing what they've been doing.

So what I am understanding, is that freedom of speech is only free if governments(city, county, state, federal) allows it to be. These mayors need to be pulled aside and given alittle lesson in what freedom of speech is. Now boycotting someone cause you do not like what they did or said is one thing, but this seems alittle more of the pressure thing that just boycotting. Not a damn thing wrong with what they did. He stated his stance on an issue. Mayors don't like it. To damn bad get over yourselfs.
So long as the laws are followed, nothing the mayors can do, unless they are doing it without following the laws. (we all know that does not happen in this country)

now, if we could get them off Bo's ass and let him be.
