Beyond the free speech implications, I think its important that people realize just how bogus the underlying accusation actually is.
The past few days have seen reports in the media accusing Chick-fil-As foundation of donating $1.8 million to anti-gay groups in 2017.
Based on the headlines, one might think that these groups were actively working against gay rights in at least some form.
But thats not the case.
These are the three groups:
~$1.7 million to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
$150,000 to the Salvation Army
$6,000 to the Paul Anderson Youth Home
The Westboro Baptist Church these groups are not.
The FCAs offense, for example, is that it requires members of its ministry (not even the student athlete leaders) to sign a sexual purity pledge that includes same-sex conduct among other things.
In other words, its a nothingburger.
What this is really about is the fact that Chick-fil-A is a successful business that lives its Christian values (and I dont mean anything to do with gays, because Chick-fil-A both serves and hires gays).
Its closed on Sundays, doesnt participate in offensive advertising, maintains a clean image, and encourages a positive, healthy work environment.
The Left sees Christianity as an obstacle to the state, so anything that represents it in a positive light must be destroyed.
In this case, the use of the anti-gay label is just a way of convincing the uninformed leftist masses (that will never look deeply into it themselves) why its OK for its politicians to try and destroy such a pleasant, tasty place.
