Assault On Free Speech

[A Theist]

I'm opposed to vindictive elected officials who abuse their office to harass and undermine people with whom they disagree. Mr. Cathy simply stated his personal opinion which is protected by our Constitution. Whether or not his vocal support for traditional marriage is ethical or unethical is for his customers to decide not our elected office holders...and that applies to all protected speech.

That would be an adequate answer if I had asked as question relating to the mayor. I did not.

Let me phrase it a different way. Do you consider it acceptable that anyone elected or unelected use their business as a platform for a political or religious agenda to be shoved down their customers throats as opposed to following the simple process of supply and demand which is what the customers pay for.
Is it not a severe violation of the obligation between supplier and consumer to provide an unbiased service to a market in demand of it?
Does this conduct not qualify as severely unethical?

I can oppose a lot of speech but that doesn't mean I have the right to stop it. It's not my call to tell a business owner what to do with his own business. But as a customer I have every right not to buy his goods if I don't find his political or religious speech acceptable.
