Chick Fil A

Gays want to protest (or have already)? Chick Fil A by kissing each other in front of or in the resturant because of the owners opinion that marriage should be male/female. 

Doesn't a business owner have a right to believe as their conscience dictates?

Seeing that no one has answered this question, I guess that means that a business owner does not have the right to his own personal opinion. 

That is very sad.  I aways believed that American had a right to free speech.

Certainly they have a right to say anything they want. It is after all their company.

That still doesn't make it the right thing to do. From a personal position, and most certainly from a busyness strategy.

1) because you NEVER make your busyness personal. It's busyness. And in the customer service industry. You like EVERYBODY. You are for EVERYBODY.

No busyness can afford to alienate anyone. You want everyone to like you.

 

and 2) EVERYONE has a right freedom of speech. EVERYONE. That includes the people protesting him.

NO ONE. and I do mean NO ONE has a right to never be disagreed with.

When you say something stupid. People have a right to say so.

Foolproof you say? Challenge excepted.

The owner of the business has a right to his opinions, however, if he wants to stay in business, he must not express his personal opinions and risk alienating future customers....if his goal is to make money, which one assumes is a goal of a business person.

The owner treats gays and everyone alike.  But he should still be able to say he believes marriage is man/woman without any personal attacks.  If he mistreats or refuses to service a gay person, that is another story.

 

If a business owner is allowed to say he believes in gay marriage, so should a business owner  be allowed to say he does not believe in gay marriage.  Don't you think?

Is Chick-fil-a gay stance an advertizing ploy to boost sagging sales?

I don't think it's an attempt to boost sales. I think he's expressing his opinion, at the risk of costing sales. Although now that gays have announced a boycott, it may boost sales temporarily as traditional Christians, Jews, and Moslems make a point of stopping at Chick-fil-A.

No, I don't think so. I vehemently disagree with their point of view, but they have a right to express it and a right to do business. But I can say they won't be getting business from me and never have, due to my disagreement with their policies and attitude.
