[quote=Anonymous]I did read the list.  Thank you.  I am also familiar with many of those businesses and their practices.  Marriott? A fbulous hotel chain. Great quality for a great price. Stayed there many times, and never been discriminated against, prothletized to, or politicized, and never seen it done to any other customer.  Just clean, beautiful rooms at a resonable price. Hobby Lobby? Lived all over the country, and they are hands down the best craft/home decorating/party supply/hobby store in this country, hands down.  Pleasant, professional employees. Well stocked. Clean. Amazing selection and prices.  In and Out Burgers? What say you California folks? Delish! Forever 21? Just another teen/tween store with bubbly workers, trendy clothes and cheap prices. They don't care what you do or how you believe, as long as you wear their clothes.

Did you read the list?  Not just the names and quick summaries, but the actual descriptions of the companies?  Or did you just see the words "Chick Fil A" and freak out?

Because the religions listed are for the most part, mainstream Christian religions, peppered with Mormans.  There is a Jewish business included.  A Catholic business.  Heck, even an Epsicopalian business.  I thought that Epispocalians were the beacon of hope for liberal activists and religion. I guess they are blackballed now too, merely due to the fact they are Christians.

Did you read the list?  None of these companies are discriminatory, or practicing illegal or evil business policies.  In fact, if you took a blind poll that did not include the religious leanings mentioned, the majority of these companies would be very well regarded, even by atheists and liberals.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you.  I refuse to give Chik-fil-a (sp ?) my business anymore because the owners/management are [b]religious, homophobic[/b], discriminatory shitheads.[/quote]

So PP, do you not eat out anymore?  Anywhere?

I don't see how you can find many good restaurants to eat at in this city if your line in the sand is that the owners or management cannot be religious and supportive of traditional marriage.

It rules out all the middle eastern restaurants, or businesses owned or run by those who practice Islam.  Darn.  That is some good food.  But we can't eat or patronize businesses that just might have religious owners or managers.

Most Christian owned businesses too.  Even secularly owned businesses, because you never know if that company might have accidentally hired a practicing Baptist or a Morman.

How do Hindus feel about gay marriage?  Ooops, 50/50% chance you can't eat at any Indian restaurants.  Damn!

Buddhists?  Got to cut our some of those businesses too.

Well, let's patronize the Jewish establishments.  Wait, no, not the ones owned by Orthodox Jews.  Well, crap.[/quote]

Nothing like a good Jewish deli. OP won't patronize one though. What is the word for that again? Oh yeah... anti-semite.[/quote]

Oh fuck you. Seriously. You're being a dramatic, lying cunt. Did you actually click the article and see that they posted examples of controversial religious ideologies, not just blanket lists?[/quote][/quote]
