Beliefs and Being Correct-Chick-Fil-A

Listening to the radio this morning was very disturbing in a sense. Before I even start let me pose this question. Would your beliefs stop you from supporting certain type of people business wise? Ah-yeah I think I framed it the right way. Well onto the news The president of Chick-fil-A, a fast food restaurant home of the waffle fries and the best chicken sandwich's, has come out against lesbian and gay marriages. Chick-Fil-A has over 1,600 restaurants and gross over four billion dollars. All of Chick-Fil-A locations are closed on Sunday, for religious purposes.

• VIA-Yahoo:News, Dylan Stableford "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Dan Cathy, the company's president and chief operating officer, said in a recent radio interview. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

A lot of people say that they will no longer eat at Chick-Fil-A because of their beliefs. We live in America land of the free. I have mixed emotions about this. You are entitled to feel and take action upon what you believe in. But you should also pick and choose you battles. There are somethings that even though you feel strongly about that you should not make too public. Ah yes I do agree it is your constitutional right. But although there are lesbian and gay people . They are human too. On another hand I must respect Chick-Fil-A for speaking up against there beliefs and standing up for what they believe. I neither disagree nor agree with their beliefs, I am  just not sure if  their outright actions were correct. They are also loosing business because schools have decided not too have them on the campus because they do not support the lesbian and gay communities; where these schools are diverse. But having the courage to speak out against something that you feel is morally wrong, shows bravery.

Disclaimer: In no way am in support of Chick-Fil-A beliefs. I have respect and respect people of all races, nationality, gender, religion and or sexual orientation. I will not comment or give my beliefs on certain situations due to the nature of not sounding cruel or rude or offensive to any of our readers. I SUPPORT EVERY ONE!

Controversy: Target Won't Sell Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange'

Oooooooh, messy messy messy. Retail giant Target will not be selling Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange' album. Reps for the store claim it is strictly a business decision but I think it's bullshit. We all know, Frank came out recently and told the public that he was once in love with a man and that some of his music was written with a man in mind. However, Target claims that is not why they won't be selling Ocean's album.

Target representatives say the decision not to sell the album is a reaction to iTunes' one-week exclusive which would mean all stores would lose out on first week sales. I hate to be judgemental but something doesn't seem right.

According to the HuffingtonPost.com, the brand (Target) has a complicated history with the LGBT community. Target first faced a strong backlash after donating a whopping $150,000 to MN Forward, a group that was backing Tom Emmer's gubernatorial bid in Minnesota. Emmer was known for being especially conservative and not supporting equal rights for LGBT citizens. At the time, Target Corp.'s CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the company was merely championing a candidate who would be an advocate for its business interests. He apologized at a later date.

Well readers, what do you think? The Babbling Bee's are dying to hear your take on this.
