I feel so left out! I only have one Chick Fil A, to protest at in Corpus! This sucks!
What if Burger King management said the same thing? Protest? Throw Burger King wrappers down the sewer? What if HEB said they same thing? You are going to stop eating?
IMHO; much ado over nothing. A tempest in a teacup!
I came from California to Texas. What goes on in California everyday and is considered normal would freak most Texans out. In California; these are your neighbors, your own workplace co-workers, and people you people you meet everyday. Oftentimes; you won't even know whom they are. This is everyday life in California. A gay couple is almost everyday, and no one really cares in the least. Put the same couple on the San Antonio river walk; and they are the gossip of the town, and pointed out immediately as freaks! Or are patronized to a sickening degree. With my gay friends, I simply treated the same as I would with anyone else. We both had loves, likes, dislikes, differing political outlooks, differing views of Life in general. In short, they were people, and in the end on some issues we agreed to disagree. They are my friends only, and I don't even think about their sexual orientation.
So why are people in San Antonio getting so worked about? Because one idiot corporation has their own stance? Isn't your own yard filled with enough hazards and snakes. Now you also want to worry about your neighbor's yard too?
This is everyday in life in California. Hell! I was even drug into a briefing room by a man, that announced that his name as of Monday was from Jeff into Jessica, and he was a transvestite. No one in the room even batted an eye, and she was treated as a woman. He was treated as an equal as a welder and fabricator, but treated as a lady.
This is everyday life in California. No one really cared and treated it as everyday life. So whom really gives a crap about Chik fillet and what they state? Does this fast food joint run the world? Life goes on, and on, and on.....
I still have several gay friends from California, which consider themselves as normal, and don't want to be treated as something special. Just treat as a couple, which love each other dearly, and wanted to be treated with the same respect that every human desires to be treated. I specifically asked about what they thought about this controversy, and they really didn't give a damn, and believe that a lot of protesting people have their own agenda, and simply wanted their 15 minutes of life on the stage. They just wanted to be considered as normal people, whom love each other, and want the same rights, and I fully agree with them. They alluded that they were actually embarrassed at the attention being brought to their and many other couple sexual orientation(s), and lifestyle choices.
Chick Fil A? I don't even eat there, and could care less. Now if it was Stripes or WhatABurger? Then I might get upset!
Like I said: a very small storm in a teacup! This issue soon too, will pass!
