Save Chick fil La bill passes

[Common]

Gotta love how liberals $#@! all over themselves because of ChicAfil, and they cheer people in other fast food that refuse to serve police or people with maga hats on, or attack them,. or tell known republicans to get out.

The left is nothing more than hypocritical and full of $#@!.

My bad, the more politically correct term in this day in time is 'snowflake'

Living the dream.

Got a horned antelope tag this year's draw, that's exciting.

Dad died last month, that was hard. Been in Pittsburgh a couple times during the trek. My 25yr old son pinged type 1 diabetes too just now, flying him out here and the granddaughter this summer again, they were here last year and yeah, I miss them.

Still losing weight, down to 230 (I'm 6'1") and I'm shooting for 200, gonna get there.

CFO thing here is great, wonderful people in this town, I really love it here.

My toenail still looks like $#@! @silvereyes


Other than that... yeah, I'm ok

You?

I’m sorry to hear about your pops, man. Welcome back, even if only for a moment.

They are absolutely just one of many identity groups, which can include religious ideology. People can belong to religions without sharing heritage, so what's left is not necessarily even common interest in general, but shared (religious) values unless perhaps you are a Mennonite or Amish. We are living in a post-modern era, so old identity groups are not special - they don't have seniority and don't have special privileges. They are in fact a shrinking demographic.

Chick-fil-A's CEO decided to become politically vocal about SS marriage back in 2012, which was a stupid move and picked a fight with another identity group. Suddenly the entire history of the company's involvement with anti-LGBTQ activities was exposed, making them a political target and it's certainly not helpful that the CEO is a Southern Baptist who are generally associated with extremist ideologies like racism and intolerance.

You may want to draw distinctions in terms of identity groups, but the bulk of the identity groups don't give a fig about your notions of postmodern abstractions. The SA city council took the only position that they could in an activist environment. The state has the power to overrule, but it is then kicking over a new hornets nest involving big government interference.

I think there's just something with the liberal brain that blocks it from understanding what others are saying. I'm not saying Christians don't in some way form an identity group. I'm saying the meaning of identity group there is wholly different than say an LGBT group. In the case of Christians Christianity is just one vector in a matrix of other vectors--family, community, education, even being conservative, etc--that gives meaning to the identity group. In the case of gays, LGBT is the only vector that identifies for within the LGBT group you have different sexes, sexual preferences, some Christian, some Muslim, some another religion, some agnostic, some atheist, some liberal, some conservative. Being Christian is integral to to an array of ties that serve to identify; being gay is an abstraction from all other ties.

Chick-fil-A's CEO decided...

Go back and read the OP and get a good grip on the topic. Chick-fil-a decided nothing, they are wholly outside any decision-making. The San Antonio city council made a decision and in reaction, the state legislature made a decision. Chick-fil-a is on the sidelines watching.

But I think I get it, like many liberals, you despise Christianity as bigoted and hateful (repeating Wolf's words) and so you can focus on nothing but Chick-fil-a as Christian. The actual topic is meaningless to you, it doesn't even register in those bran cells of yours.

your notions of postmodern abstractions

Modern political identitarianism is not something I invented. And it is an abstraction as I just explain--but really have little hope of you grasping. Fortunately, others will.

The SA city council took the only position that they could in an activist environment.

A government's position ought to be neutral.

Isn't that argument getting a little long in the tooth? LGBTQ people are not trying to deny you your right to a heterosexual marriage, why are you concerned with what they do in the privacy of their bedrooms or whether they choose to marry a member of the same sex. We live in a secular society and the non-secular cannot force their religious objections down the throats of those who simply don't acknowledge biblical admonitions regarding men not laying with men or women laying with women. Plural marriage is acceptable to many of those who follow the OT. It's not legal primarily because most men have a hard time maintaining a family with one wife, let alone several with dozens of children. Nevertheless, plural arrangements still exist. Consenting adults cannot be prevented from engaging in relationships with each other that don't suit the majority. You don't have to like it but really it's none of your business so long as they are living a law abiding life and paying their taxes.

So many things wrong with what you say.

People like jimmyz are concerned because the push for gay marriage affects the society and culture they live in. You take individualism to the extreme if you think these changes don't affect more than two people.

We do not live in a secular society. We live in a religious society. Perhaps you meant we live in a secular nation where the law is supposed to be unbiased and neutral, equality before the law for all, not just some.

No one is forcing religion down your throat. Christians and most conservative wish to preserve tradition. --It's ironic that you see gays as affecting no one but Christians forcing their views down your throat. That's extremely biased.

[Chris]

If SA took a position that didn't represent its constituents, then that mayor and members of city council who supported that position will go down in the next election. If not, they represented their constituents. However I can pretty much guarantee that there will be those who share more of a libertarian ideology who will not appreciate the state's response.

It may come as a surprise to you but the majority of San Antonians are Christian and very few LGBT.

Well, look what the cat dragged in! I was wondering about you just yesterday too!

For what state is your permit?

Welcome back, CO, however briefly!

I got down to 206, myself, but I had to almost die, literally, to do it. I do not promote bilateral pneumonia and sepsis as a dieting strategy.
