I think they did more than just "not support gay marriage". The statements by the company's leader are inflammatory to say the least. They also went further and donated around 3 million US$ to Christian groups who were against homosexuality and homosexuals in general, not just gay marriage. Their religious extremes form the entire foundation of their business and are projected through their capital donations and influence.
The company cannot now argue about Government discrimination, and interference in business. They made a decision to openly state their discrimination against a particular group. If they were playing by corporate rules that statement would never have been made. No one needs to know what the personal beliefs of your CEO are, really. But when a company makes those personal beliefs the public face of the organisation, they have to accept the backlash. For all we know they sat and thought about this and felt that there was business to be made in bashing the gays. Who knows. Maybe they're selling out in the Mid West and can't make chicken wings fast enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:353060 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
