Why Boycott??

On Facebook, I have been seeing all these posts about Chick-Fil-A being opposed to Gay Marriage and now people are boycotting the restaurant chain because of this company choice.  I think this is ridiculous!

Chick-Fil-A has always been a Christian based company.  They are even one of the few companies that remain closed on Sundays because of their religious views.  So, why are people now so shocked and appalled that this Christian based business is against Gay Marriage?

I am not sure how I personally feel about Gay Marriage.  I mean, I honestly think that as long as you are not hurting anyone else, you should be able to do what makes you happy.  But, I don't want to walk down the street and see two men or two women kissing and have to explain this to my child. Of course, that has nothing to do with Gay Marriage....that's just about Gay in general....

My point is, it is very wrong to boycott something because you disagree with the company's view point on something like this.  By boycotting Chick-Fil-A, you are punishing them for having a religious view point and in a sense, taking away their right to express their relious views.  In my opinion, those that choose to boycott Chick-Fil-A are the ones in the wrong!
