The Daily Beast ran an article purportedly authored by an anonymous homosexual employee of Chick-Fil-A. And of course, the bias of the publication is that this person has a perfectly reasonable point of view. Here is an example of that point of view:
“Never before have I been so grateful that I have tomorrow off. Customers sang “God Bless America” in the dining room. They vocalized their support for “family values” in a way that made me want to vomit.”
But this employee later admits: “I can’t tell you much more about the customers today, because of my limited contact with them. I work in the kitchen, so I don’t see much of the clientele.”
So, she knows they were expressing family values in a way that makes her want to vomit, even though she didn’t have customer contact? I guess because they’re Christians, and she clearly feels uncomfortable around large gatherings of Christians, she feels comfortable making such a statement.
And that’s what struck me in particular about this article. We have an employee who identifies as homosexual (and nothing else, apparently) who was deeply disturbed by the fact that Christians were gathering in public and doing things like singing “‘God Bless America’ in the dining room.”
I’m sorry… if I implied that homosexuals gathering and singing some protest song or another was the least bit inappropriate, I’d be roundly denounced as a “homophobe” and an anti-Gay bigot. But I’m supposed to feel sorry for this employee who clearly doesn’t like Christians getting together and socializing in public. Most news coverage won’t even catch this anti-Christian bias. They will simply declare the protesters pro-Gay, and leave it at that.
But if the protesters really were pro-Gay, like they suggest, they would protest the consumption of Saudi oil, the purchase of which supports a regime that punishes homosexuals by laws; these punishments include the death penalty. They don’t, they only go after openly Christian fast food companies.
They claim to be “pro-Gay,” and they may even think they’re “pro-Gay,” but they’re really just anti-Christian.
