Chick-fil-A attacks sickening

I am sick and tired of the attacks and reverse discrimination against the traditional family. I, like the president of Chick-fil-A, support traditional family values. These are under attack from every corner: pornography, shacking up, fornication, adultery, homosexuality.

A family comes out and states that they support traditional family values. They do not have any signs in their restaurants: “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” If any person walks into any of their restaurants and does not create a scene and is there to eat, they will be served.

They are attacked just because of personal beliefs expressed.

I have personally experienced this type of discrimination in the workforce also. I thought that we lived in a free country where we can express freely our beliefs as long as you do not belittle or make threats upon others. My freedom ends at your nose.

These attacks are way over the top and apologies should be made for the anger shown.
