64. This is incredibly tasteless

How in hell is this supportive of human rights and the struggle for equality? Why not just say that you don't care what the owner says or does because it doesn't effect you you're still eating there.

and yeah we have no choice about gas but you do have a choice of whom you support. It's nice to know who's who around here.
