What do you call it when a governmental body can prohibit a capital enterprise due to the owner's opinions?

It's a privately held company... they can do whatever they want IMO. If a company wants all straight people, all gay people, all women, all men, all WHATEVER they should be allowed to do it. On the same note, if people don't agree with their stance they can feel free to go elsewhere. Let the market take care of itself.
Unless they are breaking some sort of city ordinance, I don't see what grounds the cities have for not letting them be there. Quote:
As for the poll (not pole )... I choose pie. Agreeing or disagreeing with the gay marriage opinion is unrelated to the fact that Mr. Cathy is entitled to his own opinion which should have absolutely ZERO effect on whether he is allowed to operate a business in a location. |

I say let the man have his opinion and run his company the way he sees fit. The Mayors should stay the fug out of it, and let folks decide for themselve whether or not to patronize Chic Fil A.

Agree/disagree with what?
Is the owner of Chic-Fil-A allowed to hold personal views on this subject? Yes. Is he allowed to speak them in public? Yes. Is a government agency allowed to prevent him from opening up a store in their town because of the views he holds? Abso-fuking-lutely not. Each and every government entity that tries to will be bitch slapped into court and lose, big time. Are citizens allowed to protest and refuse to purchase from this store? You betcha! I also disagree that his statements were anti-gay marriage. He was simply stating his Biblical belief in what a true marriage is. |

1. I'm a Christian and believe in the bible.
2. I don't judge people because, gasp, I am not better than anyone else. 3. If homosexuals want to get married, I really don't care. See #2. 4. Chick-fil-a has always been a Christian-centered company. They don't open on Sundays, etc. 5. For the owner to make a statement like he did is two things: a. Impressive because he is standing up for his beliefs no matter what the cost. b. Not incredibly smart because he is alienating an entire group and that's not how you run a successful business. 6. For mayors to tell a business to GTFO is asinine. Mayors should want to build commerce and create jobs any way possible. Let Chick-fil-a come in and let the PEOPLE decide with their money whether to support them or not. That's how a free and capitalistic society should work, right? 7. In the end this is all bullshit. If a restaurant said they only want to serve homosexuals, they'd be embraced. |

Your poll options are backward. If you agree with Mr. Cathay, then you think gay marriage is wrong. If you disagree with him, then you're OK with it.

My stance on the poll is irrelevent to the OP. I don't have a problem with Gay marriage, but the man can run his company any way he wants....so I voted MFin Pie.

You know what...never really put much thought into that even though I've seen you say it before....but I believe that is a pretty damn good answer to not only this issue, but many others. Have to do some mulling over on this one... |

I ate at Chik-Fil-A last night for dinner. You know why? None of the matters at hand mean a fcuking thing to me. You know why that is? IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DAY TO DAY LIFE. Not gay marriage, not any of that shit. People are so caught up on bullshit things like this instead of things that REALLY matter to me and everyone around me. America needs an overhaul. Bad.

Interesting that the city government officials in Chicago and Boston are wanting to refuse Chick Fil-A a business license for the owner holding the same view of gay marriage as Obama did in 2008-2011.
