Assault On Free Speech

[A Theist]

Bullsh*t!

Ok, gotta ask. Whats up with that?
Theres not a no swearing rule here.

Dude. I thought this was a family forum.

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.

Again, that was not an answer to the questions I was asking. If I was asking if you thought what the mayor did was right then it would be. If I asked if you have the right to order business owners around then alright. But those are not the questions I am asking.

"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?"
Its that simple, thats all I'm asking. Everything else in the paragraph I wrote is just an explanation of those questions.
If you don't want to answer those questions thats cool but at least tell me thats whats going on otherwise we're both wasting our time here.

What you're asking is not just a simple yes or no question. In the legal sense Chick-fil-A broke no laws. To your first question, the business owner is a private citizen who has every right to his opinions. If citizens don't like the business owners positions they can take their money elsewhere. Public office holders are entitled to their personal opinions as well but their first obligations are to provide equal protection under the law to everyone without bias. As far as what's ethical, it depends on which side of the issue you're on. Wouldn't you agree? No to both questions.
