Yep that boycott/protest is so helpful.

Do you really believe the protests of Chik-fil-a are going to do anything to help the cause of homosexuals?
It appears to me that all it's accomplished is to fan the flames of intolerance.

Yes you can try to make the case that protesting Chik-Fil-a is like protesting a segregationist restaurant in the 1960's.
But it's not really a good analogy because no attempt is being made by Cathy to bar homosexuals from visiting his restaurants.

All he did was state his belief based on his ideas of Christianity that a marriage should be between two people of the opposite sex. And as long as there is a huge presence in our society of conservative traditionalist Christianity, that opinion is going to be prominent. And conservative traditionalist Christianity is growing in our country, not lessening.

No amount of "gay advocacy" is ever going to counter that. Not when homosexuals are only 4% of the population. And when it tries all it leads to is more intolerance and more hatred.
You cannot force people to be more tolerant with protests.. That's just not how the world works. And when you try it does no good. Only makes things worse.

The gay rights group that planned to display their typical hate and intolerance by protesting chick-fil-a must be pretty upset their plan backfired. Why are gay people so intolerant and full of hate for any one that disagrees with them?

Funny how mayors ban Chik-Fil-A from their cities...yet allow Muslim eateries while knowing in Islam, homosexuality is not a "tsk tsk" thing, but a sentence of death. Guess freedom of religion only counts for non-Christians.

Anybody find fault with that opinion? You, Sal?

WTF are you talking about. I mean seriously. Chick-fil-a has spent more than $5 million dollars in support of groups that would take rights away and battle against full equality for people of your sexual orientation. They spent $25,000 alone to fight a proposed Congressional resolution that would have condemned the Ugandan government's legislative efforts to make "homosexuality" an offense punishable by death. Get your head out of your ass.

I also don't agree with them spending money to support ANYONE being put to death for their sexual orientation. Can you prove that?

What's your evidence that it's edited?

I was half right. Upon further examination the photo had not been edited(anything added or taken away). The photo had been re-sized. Sometime that can be mistaken for adding something in but until you zoom it in you can't see that. The original image was fairly large (10mp at least) and re-sized to a really small image that did have the compression ghosting around the guy in the suit and the sign. Depending on contrast, light source, light direction and colors involved sometimes it the compression of making it smaller causes the ghosting which resembles an edited photo. So I was half right.
