Chick-fil-A Hit by Gay Protesters

On August 3, 2012, groups of gay rights activists and their supporters protested outside some Chick-Fil-A restaurants in the United States.

They were angry because last month Dan Cathy, the president of the chicken restaurant chain, voiced his opposition to gay marriage.

One restaurant in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance was sprayed overnight with graffiti that read: ‘Tastes Like Hate’.

They claimed that what they were fighting for human rights.

Is this how human rights should be to them?

So what about the rights of Dan Cathy and others who do not support the protesters’ ideas?

I cannot understand people who fight for human rights but cannot accept that other people have their rights too.

Is forcing others to agree with them a part of human rights?

So in this case, who really do not support the human rights?

If they are unhappy, why can’t they just write about it to Dan Cathy, the newspapers, in their blogs or facebooks?

I am sad to see adults behaving this way.

It is like teaching kids to fight back whenever they do not agree with their parents, teachers and others.

Here are some pictures of the incident:
