Alright kids. Most of you who know me relatively well know that there are two fast food restaurants that I eat at quite often. Subway (is Subway really fast food?) and Chick-fil-A. I'm quite literally always in the mood for either of these places. And unless you live under a rock, you probably know where this is going.
Since we regrettably don't have a Chick-fil-A here in Greenville and I didn't have a reason to go to Montgomery today, I'm blogging. About Chick-fil-A. Trust me, I'd rather be enjoying my eight count chicken nuggets right now but this will have to suffice.
I personally fall in line with Mr. Cathy's views on same-sex marriage. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. But that in no way means I hate gay people. I love that Chick-fil-A is one of the few places that I can go to and know that I'm always going to get great service. I also love that they're closed on Sunday. And I admire a man who can stand up for what he believes in even when it may not be popular or in the best interest of his business.
I most certainly don't agree with the notion that government officials have the right to prevent Chick-fil-A from doing business in their cities. I don't believe that anyone has the right to force me to believe in something that goes against everything I know to be true. And if you want to live in a country like that, then go try it out. Go live somewhere where you are forced to believe and act a certain way. But as for me, I refuse to let anyone take my rights away from me.
I love that each of you has the right to believe something different than I do. Don't get me wrong, I still believe that there are rights and there are wrongs. And I'm going to try my hardest to stand for them in a dignified, respectful way. But I admire and respect people who can believe one thing and still respect me and my contrasting opinion.
Stand up for what you believe in. But do it in the right way.
