The coverage of the Chick-Fil-A anti-gay marriage controversy in Windy City Times and most media, lgbt and general and even on humor shows such as Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, has been accurate and the discussion has been good; it is the politicians who have suffered when they took a stand on the side of equality and justice.
What they could not say is what we need to say to those people who so self-righteously attacked them for saying such restaurants were not welcome (especially to those arrogant black preachers): What if the politicians were saying that the chicken restaurant owned by the KKK was not welcome? Would the people concerned with freedom of speech line up to buy food from the KKK's cafe?
