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

I don't think it means they find homophobia acceptable; it means they think you can still deal with people who are homophobes, or at least with business that they own and get profit from.

In my opinion, that's pretty much the same thing as finding it acceptable. That having that view is something that should be accepted. And to me, it's not. Ever. In any circumstances. Period. It seems like a lot of people think 'oh, *I* don't hate gay people, but if people do it's a totally legitimate difference of opinion' and I'm disagreeing with that. It's not a totally legitimate difference of opinion, it is *wrong*. It's no different than being racist. These days most people seem to recognize that racism is flat out unacceptable without exception but there's a double standard in that that doesn't seem to apply to sexual orientation as well.

And the fact that someone has not gone for the fundamentalist response and cut Chick-fil-a out of their life - the fact that someone disagrees with you about the proper way to respond to homophobia - does not mean that they are either homophobic or down with homophobia.

If you know that by eating there you are giving them money that they will in turn donate to organizations that actively work to deny rights to LGBT people and you eat there anyway, then you can claim to not be a homophobe all you want, but the fact is that you are.

I didn't see the above reply when I made the comment, but yes. What they said.

okay, so apparently it's not okay to eat at places where their money funds organizations that want to oppress gay people but it's totally okay to go to the hundreds of other businesses that are well known to get their goods by fucking over people in other countries by pretty much using them as slave labor. I mean seriously, pick a company.

ayrt

I know that, and that's a little bit different. I try as much as I can to avoid that by shopping at local business that make their own products but just living in the modern world makes it impossible to avoid *completely*. Fast food is an entirely different matter. You do not need fast food to live. If for some reason CFA was the only food available then that would be a completely different situation but when there are many, many other options? No.
