The KKK analogies are a huge stretch.

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Jul 25 '12, 08:09

There are huge degrees in variation of bigotry.

The KKK has a history of physically attacking, brutalizing, and sometimes killing minorities. Chick Fil-A does not.

Cathy said he opposes gay marriage. Unfortunately, an overwhelming majority of americans agree with him. That's very wrong, but it's nowhere near the same as what the KKK has done. This sort of hyperbole doesn't help, imo.

Besides that, are you willing to say anyone who openly opposes gay marriage shouldn't be allowed to open a business? If not, then why should Chick Fil-A be allowed to be blocked?

WE have plenty of ways to put pressure on companies like Chick Fil-A to change their public views.

It's simply not true that an overwhelming majority of americans agree with him. Actually that view is in the minority. I have mixed feelings about - pmb Jul 25, 08:13 1
- I'll be more clear. When gay marriage has been put to a state vote, the results have been pretty clear. - Inigo Jul 25, 08:19
