Yes, I suppose you could...

*Change* Imagine that, a CEO that stands up for what is right.

And no I will not agree that Chick-fil-A CEO is standing up for what is right.

Well, see now you changed a factual statement to one of opinion. Cheater!

agreed, he is an asshat. i think more and more companies are realizing that an open stance on equality is not bad for business at all.

I don't think he is either, but the question was whether he was standing up for his principles--which he clearly is. The moral here is: Just standing up for one's principles isn't enough; the principles themselves need to be right.

It's easy to stand up for principles when they dovetail neatly with your business plan. Given Starbucks' demographics and branding (which existed long before this issue), it's kind of a no-brainer to market to gays. Gays love a nice, clean coffee shop! Sounds like a stereotype, but I've lived in San Francisco, Seattle, and Hillcrest here in San Diego. I know what I'm talking about.

Love the Starbuck's CEO. He is also an advocate for following state laws regarding firearms. He gets flack from anti gunners because he says that if states allow citizens to carry, they are welcome at Starbucks. Drives the gun control proponents crazy when he tells them he won't post "no carry" signs in any of his retail locations.

Basically, it sounds like he pisses off anyone that has issues with personal freedoms. That is my kind of CEO.

Interestingly, (to me anyway) a large portion of the people who believe in the personal freedom that the 2nd amendment provides do not believe in gays should have the right to marry each other.

Perhaps it's time for a 28th amendment... (not holding my breath).

I'm straight as an arrow, but I love hard wood too. Just the other day, I sat on some hard wood for several hours and it was quite pleasurable. Everyone should own a cherry rocker ...

I am not sure that is really accurate. I, for one, believe in 2A and believe gays should have the right to marry. Off the top of my head, most of the individuals who jump into the 2A threads in support of firearms feel the same way.

Also, you are comparing apples to oranges. The Constitution specifically delineates the right to bear arms. It says nothing about marriage. Of course, people like me argue that the 14th prohibits discrimination b/t same and opposite sex marriage. But, marriage itself is not a specific right set forth in the Constitution.

Get two-thirds of both Houses to propose it or have two-thirds of the states legislatures to request Congress to call a national convention, then have it passed by 38 states.
