    Chick-fil-A did nothing wrong

    By omekongo  |  Posted July 19, 2012  |  Boston, Massachusetts
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     omekongo shares his opinion on the debate over whether or not Chick-fil-A overstepped its boundaries for its comments on gay marriage. "We shouldn't be surprised that an organization that sticks to its Christian principles would have issues with gay marriage," he says, adding, "We can't get into this mentality of thinking that everybody who is against gay marriage is homophobic in some way, shape or form."
    - stein0726, CNN iReport producer

    We have to get out of the mentality that calls people hate mongers just for having their own beliefs. Being anti gay marriage isn't the same as being anti-gay. As long as Chick-fil-A is staying within their legal boundaries, we shouldn't be surprised that a Christian organization is anti gay-marriage (though every Christian is not ant-gay). I know the times are changing, but we should not feel obligated to believe in policies that we don't just so we can make a buck. I respect Chick-fil-A for its stance, though I disagree with it.
