    Chik-Fil-A does not have a moral stand on gays. The owners have   
    a moral stand on gays, Chik-Fil-A has a strong   
    anti-discrimination policy.

    RM> they can go elsewhere.   
      
    It is not a private law. Cost cuttin by those not providing benefits   
    will hurt those who do. Give the non-providers an advantage.   
      
    Chosing not to serve those you chose with out a publicly   
    acceptable reason gives us "Whites Only" signs.
