Assault On Free Speech

[A Theist]

Like you said, it'll be left to the people to decide what they'll tolerate. If anyone's offended that Mr. Cathy voiced his support for traditional marriage, it's not like their arms are being twisted to buy from Chick-fil-A. For that matter, I can just as easily claim that businesses like Progressive Auto Insurance or Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream contribute money to hate groups like Move On.org.

I made it very clear that the issue wasn't offence, it was business ethics. It is one thing to contribute money it is quite another to use your business as a vocal platform for your own views as you well know. Regardless of any other factors that is not acceptable conduct regardless of the views being presented or the business presenting them.
Someone who wasn't an elected official and using his business to vocally enforce liberal views would be unethical too and you'd be the first one to say so.
Lets keep it unbiased shall we?

Those are only your opinions which bear no weight over another opinion. All opinions are biased, even yours. Dan Cathy stated his personal views. He did not use his business to enforce them. If you believe what he said was an unethical business practice then don't spend your money at Chick-fil-A. But no elected public official like mayors Rahm Emmanuel and Tom Menino have the right to use the authority of an elected office to dictate their personal and political views.
