I never ate at Whole Foods until the liberal protest against them.The "buycott" against the boycott, I was a part of. Have not stopped going to Whole Foods and the boycotters are gone. So all this publicity is good for Chick-fil-A. |

Instead of a ban in Boston, the gay and lesbian community should just boycott Chick-fil-A. There should never be a gay or lesbian wedding held in any of their restaurants. As for my family, none of my grand children will ever be married at a White Castle. |

Agreed, bans don't hit companies in the pocketbook, let them open where ever they want. Just don't expect to find me in one and I will make it my mission to inform as many people as possible of their views and run them out of business. |

If a city can ban a restaurant for it's anti-gay views, so, too, can it ban a gay-owned or operated establishment because it violates someone's idea of ”morality”. I think Chick-Fil-A is grossly homophobic, but then, I can vote with my pocketbook. Boycotts are also an effective way to get a point across. But an outright ban on doing business? No sale. |

Then, I suppose you think the Montgomery bus boycott following Rosa Parks' arrest for violating the Jim Crow laws was ”intimidation”, too. Oh, I forgot, in your world, Jim Crow is only a problem when it operates in ”reverse”. Silly me... |
