Daniel Dromm wants people with private held beliefs against homosexuals to leave New York!

Image
"Stay out of New York City ." That is effectively the message that a City Councilman named Daniel Dromm has sent to you, me, and millions of pro-marriage Americans — including the millions who already live in the city that never sleeps.  And none of us, least of all New Yorkers, can allow ourselves to remain silent about it. Dromm sent his message by way of remarks to the  Huffington Post , when he said of anyone who believes in marriage as the union of one man and one woman: We don't need bigots coming to New York City. They are not welcome here unless they can embrace all of New York's diverse community, including the LGBT community . [...] We don't need bigoted people even keeping their opinions to themselves. They need to wake up and see reality. "Not welcome here." Yes, you read that right.  An individual's own privately-held beliefs, if they conflict with Mr. Drumm's radical new orthodoxy, even if those beliefs are never  pub...

Chick-fil-A CEO: I still oppose gay ‘marriage’ but won’t be too vocal about it

Image
ATLANTA, GA , March 20, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – After two years of battering by homosexual activists and the mainstream media over his opposition to same-sex “marriage,” Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy says he remains committed to the Christian definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, but has decided not to be vocal about it. “I think the time of truths and principles are captured and codified in God’s word and I’m just personally committed to that,” Cathy told the  Atlanta Journal-Constitution . “I know others feel very different from that and I respect their opinion and I hope that they would be respectful of mine.” Cathy, 61, set off a firestorm of controversy in 2012 with remarks to a Baptist publication in which he said he was “guilty as charged” for supporting the traditional family. “We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit,” Cathy  told  the  Baptist Press . “We are a family-own...

Traditional values pay: Chick-fil-A makes record-breaking profits after marriage controversy

Image
ATLANTA,  – Chick-fil-A has learned upholding traditional values is not just good for the soul; it’s also good for business. Since President Dan Cathy stirred up a firestorm of controversy and protests by daring to say in public that he supports traditional marriage, the fast food chain has enjoyed record sales and increased brand recognition . A typical line on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, August 1. According to a report by  USA Today , consumer use, visits, and ad awareness all rose measurably in the third quarter, despite widespread negative media coverage of Cathy’s remarks to the  Baptist Press  opposing same-sex “marriage.” A Sandelman and Associates survey of more than 30,000 fast-food shoppers in markets where Chick-fil-A operates showed consumer use of the restaurant chain rose 2.2 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2011. Their market share rose 0.6 percent. Awareness of their advertising rose 6.5 percent. Je...

But fall is fickle in the windy city, and Proco Joe Moreno once again is threatening to stall the chicken chain from opening in his ward. Moreno, Mayor Rahm (“Chicago Values”) Emanuel and other big-city officials piled on Chick-fil-A after Dan Cathy, the company’s president and COO , publicly supported the biblical definition of marriage. As they were soon reminded, though,  for a public official to deny a business license because of the businessman’s marriage views would amount to unlawful discrimination  against his viewpoints. Sadly, controversies such as the one that Moreno’s overblown comments helped create grow more frequent, and Chick-fil-A is only the most visible target. Advocates for “tolerance” increasingly push traditional ideas...
