Mawage. That bwessed awaingment

I am for gay marriage. 

I believe that the quality of a relationship is much more than the genders of the people involved.  I also think that the government or religion has any right to say anything about who can get married. 

I love the Muppets.  Jim Henson is/was my hero. I love HensonCo and I am really glad that they are putting their money where their mouth is with regard to Chick-fil-A.  I think they've brought attention to the fast food owner's bigotry and people will be more informed if they decide to get a chicken sandwich. 

 

All that being said--I don't give a shit about what the head of any corporation thinks about gay marriage.   I really don't.  The man is entitled to his beliefs--shitty though they may be. If he is against gay marriage then he can be against gay marriage.  As long as he/she doesn't try to stop his/her employees who are gay from getting married, I don't care what the man's private feelings are.  That's why they are called private feelings.  

Pluralism is the best thing about America. I don't have to agree with you. You don't have to agree with me.  I don't have to buy a Chick-fil-a sandwich.  However if I want to, I will, because I don't care what the CEO thinks about any issues.  There is no time--ever--that I wonder what the CEO of Chick-fil-A thinks about ANYTHING.  I don't give a shit. 

I don't care what the CEO of Barnes and Noble thinks about anything either and I frequent Barnes and Noble bookstores a hell of a lot more than I go to Chick Fil A.  

This is why I suck at Twitter.  I don't care enough to read what other people tweet.  (Really did the world need to know that you have the runs?)

It's funny that I, a sometimes blogger am saying this but I miss privacy.  On my blog I can share or not, and I don't share quite a bit. I don't know why a news organization even asked him his opinion about gay marriage. 

The only thing this changes is if I get an unbelievable craving for a chick-fil-a sandwich, I'll be giving a double donation to hrc.org that supports marriage equality.  I bet they are hoping I have massive cravings.

I agree - I don't care who a corporate or corporate head supports or doesn't support. However, I do have a problem when they use corporate funds to support that stance, especially when it's a cause that I feel a strong moral stance on like gay marriage. They donated over two million dollars to anti-gay organizations - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/chick-fil-a-anti-gay-group-donations-_n_1644609.html. A few pennies donated may have been mine and that infuriates me. It wasn't private funds used either - it was corporate funds. Hey, it's their right to do that with their company just like it's my right not to patronize them. If I want a chicken sandwich, I'll go to a small, locally owned, non-chain place. I probably will get better quality anyway :)

Huh...I did not know that.

I think I'm going to be reevaluating my position on this. Thanks for the info and the backup!

I was coming here to say pretty much what Julie said, only without the link citing.
