Tony Perkins: Dan Cathy of Chick-Fil-A is a "coward"



In a strange, topsy-turvy world, Mike Huckabee chats with hate group leader Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council about how those who would keep the LGBT community from having equal rights are somehow the 'victims' of attacks on their religious freedoms. See, in their world, it is their right to discriminate against other Americans. And those who would seek to express themselves through their wallets are "economic terrorists."

During the segment, Tony Perkins calls out Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy as a "coward" for stepping back from his opposition to marriage equality.

But remember, Tony Perkins and his ilk are the 'victims' here.

Joe Jervis of JoeMyGod explains the anti-gay view of boycotts like this:

When major national Christian groups with millions of followers call for boycotts, that is a righteous use of the free market in order to preserve morality, marriage, family, and the American way. But when gay folks call for a boycott, THAT is homofascist intimidation, intolerance, bullying, economic terrorism, a stifling of religious liberty, and an attempt to deny the freedom of speech. And don't you forget it.
