Let Me Just Jump In...

I have tried to stay quiet during this whole 'Chik Fil A fiasco', but I cannot stay silent any longer. Guys! This debate has NOTHING to do with gay rights!! Sorry, but it doesn't! This is completely dealing with the first amendment of the constitution, the freedom of speech. The president of that company has the right to say whatever he thinks, feels, and believes in without facing retribution. I've heard that some of the gay community has decided to boycott Chik Fil A and that honestly makes me so upset. No one should have the attitude of 'It's my way or the highway'. If the gay community wants everyone to respect their decisions and beliefs, than they should respect everyone  in turn. Tolerance goes both ways. Boycotting a business because you don't have the same beliefs? Sound familiar? Hitler would boycott Jewish shops for the same reason. The president of Chik Fil A could have announced that he is against any minority and the point would be the same- he has the right to say it. If you want to be in a country where everyone is forced to think the same way as everyone else, go find some country with a dictator cause you won't find that here!
