Words mean nothing when your actions directly contradict them. Chick-fil-A as a company and the Cathy’s personally do a lot of great things. But their monetary contributions to anti-gay groups and causes makes it impossible for me to patronize them without feeling like a hypocrite. So I don’t. You may feel otherwise. You may agree with their stance on “traditional marriage” and so it’s not an issue. You may disagree with it but still think that the good outweighs the bad. Or you my disagree but just won’t let that stand between you and their admittedly delicious chicken sandwiches. To each his own. Let’s just be honest about it.

The need for parking comes from the fact that most of your restaurants and other businesses in Decatur would fail if it weren’t for people driving in from outside Decatur to dine there.

They closed just days before the Art-B-Que. If they had stayed open through that weekend, they probably would have, at worst, come out even.

Well said.

In California during the Prop 8 showdown, businesses were openly giving to organizations that fought tooth and nail to stop gays from getting married. Very blatant, captain obvious contributions, this situation seems to be a little more nuanced but I need to know more about it to be honest. The whole notion of protecting the sanctity of hetero marriage, by discriminating against gays, seems to be spreading like wildfire across state legislatures and I wouldn’t be completely shocked to see it in GA, so perhaps best to start thinking about what is tolerable or intolerable to you.
