When Chick-Fil-A President Dan Cathy told a radio show that he endorsed traditional marriage and not gay marriage, liberal activists unloaded on the business famous for its Christian roots. Boycotts were called, gay people threatened to hold kiss-ins at Chick-Fil-A restaurants and at least two big city mayors announced they planned to forbid Chick-Fil-A from opening any new franchises in their cities. Liberty Counsel President Mathew Staver says this reaction proves that pro-gay marriage activists are militantly intolerant and are interested in intimidating and silencing critics rather than engaging in an actual debate. Staver says the statements by Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are irresponsible and blocking a business from opening because of the personal beliefs of its leader is discriminatory and unconstitutional. We’ll also hear why Staver calls this debate a zero-sum game where there can be no compromise.
