Re: Homophobic mom? Not sure what to do/need to rant

but they at the very least find homophobia acceptable

Nope. Again, difference in philosophy and what boycotting achieves. Your philosophy is that by boycotting you are not giving money to homophobic people, others see it as pointless and a business as completely separate from the people running it and their opinions. So one could completely disagree with the owners views but still see absolutely no point in boycotting the business.

I'm not saying one is right or wrong, just that eating there isn't evidence of homophobia.

Again, I have no illusions that boycotting them will 'achieve' anything. I know that it *won't*. I just don't feel right about giving money to a business that believes the way they do, regardless of what my boycotting them will or will not achieve.

And like I said, I didn't claim that everyone that eats there is homophobic, but they don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with it, either. Let's switch gay people with black people and imagine that CFA donated to the KKK. While every single person that eats there might not be racist themselves, they at least find it acceptable to be racist. Whether or not you think boycotting a homophobic company will do anything or not, I can't imagine giving them your business if you really, genuinely believe homophobia is wrong.

Like I've been saying, difference in philosophy. You believe it means one thing, other people believe it means another thing.

So I guess LGBT people who occasionally get a nugget meal must be really fucked up, huh?

DA

The thing is, that company gives money to groups that lobby against gay rights, and that lobby overseas governments to make homosexuality a capital crime. If you give them money for their chicken, they will use some portion of that money to lobby for gay people to be marginalized and executed. I'm not sure how a person can willingly spend their money at a business that they know makes donations to such organizations without implicitly supporting or being okay with their money going to support those ends.

Exactly. I don't understand how people don't get this.
