School Members Pressure Kid’s Marathon to Boot Chick-Fil-A Sponsorship for ‘Hateful Beliefs’
19th October 2018
The Pittsburgh school board and city council members are pressuring a marathon organizer to boot sponsorship from Chick-fil-A for the organization’s alleged “hateful beliefs.”
Apparently the fact that the guy who runs Chick-Fil-A doesn’t embrace homosexuals means that the entire organization has ‘hateful beliefs’. Seems to me that the only people with ‘hateful beliefs’ are these politicians.
The leadership of Chick-Fil-A has openly and passionately promulgated hateful beliefs against the LGBTQIA+ community,” a Wednesday letter signed by nine council members read, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Thursday.
I must have missed that. Certainly doesn’t show up in their advertising. Maybe they’re doing that in Uzbekistan.
“Additionally, the company has financed organizations staunchly opposed to same-sex marriage and non-discrimination laws and other groups that equate ‘homosexual behavior and lifestyle’ with lawfulness and in opposition to the ‘foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society.”
Which they are. I guess truth is a ‘hateful belief’ these days.
“This is really about the children and about sending the message to the children of Pittsburgh, and really to everyone, that Pittsburgh, as far as city council is concerned, is welcoming and inclusive for everyone,” council member Erika Strasburg said, according to the Post-Gazette.
Except Christians and their ilk. Can’t have any of them around.
