The Muppets are on our side...we win!!!

I saw this wonderful news this morning it's a beautiful step when the organization responsible for so many children's productions takes a stand like this

I can just see Mrs. Piggy karate chopping a cow.

You're right, with the Muppets on our side, we automatically win! :P

I thought the muppets were always on our side.

Srsly...

Bert & Ernie?

Miss Piggie and Kermit?


Other note:

I was always very wary of Chick-fil-A. Not just because their prices were ridiculous, but because I learned back when I worked in the mall that they all close on Sunday because of, y'know, God an stuff. They made a special deal with the mall management to do so because they would have been fined every sunday, otherwise.

Sesame street is populated by Jim Henson's creations. That makes them muppets enough in my book. Plus Big Bird was in the Muppet Movie. Plus Kermit the Frog was on Sesame street as a roving reporter.

So, you are incorrect.

Sesame Street = Muppet show for little kids.

I never minded the fact they were closed on Sunday. It was very obvious what their reasons were, even being from the same area of the country in which Chick-fil-A is based. But here it's not uncommon with all the blue laws. Even then, if religion was their reason for being closed on Sunday, I still didn't have a problem with it. It was part of their business model to be closed on Sunday even if for religious reasons. Heck, it worked in my book. They used religion as a promoting factor. I don't mind religious institutions (though I'm not religious myself). Most do a lot of good in their communities including charitable work. However, they must also realize that this is a business decision, too, and that to come out of the closet against gay marriage in a strongly worded way can and hopefully will hurt their bottom line.

Sure, help people and at the same time teach them your religions values... from "don't use condoms, but create lots of little children you can't feed" to "if you act on your gay tendencies you will go to hell".

Fortunately over here companies don't mingle in religious/moral/political things. But because of historical reasons schools, hospitals, ... do. All the schools i went to where catholic schools, because the quality is a lot better than the state run schools (a matter of funding). They where good schools. But, looking back at it, if i had been educated in more open minded schools i would have realised earlier that i was gay and perhaps been able to come out of the closet in stead of having suicide thoughts. Not that in those schools any teacher ever said anything bad about gays, but it was a subject that was rarely mentioned.
