Who cares how you feel about the issue of same-sex marriage, I really don't want to know unless you REALLY think it has something to do with the issue - what I want to know is; how you feel about government telling private company's what their moral values should be.

You think if the Owner of Barns and Noble (big book retailer) were to be a Jew and didn't want to sell Mein Kampf, we should force the store to carry it? NO! Why? Because its a private company and not a library!

Well that's my rant - maybe I am not thinking clearly - but it seems as stupid as someone opposing government interfering in healthcare but then lobbying that abortion should be illegal???

What do you think?

Objectively speaking, this is a business decision, both by the Mayor of Boston and the owners of Chick Fil A. They both feel it furthers their standing with the people they represent to say what they said.
