If people were pointedly showing up and waiting in line out of some notion of sticking it to the man, you can bet they are in general agreement with chik-fil-a on the other issues as well. Those people were probably all religious, all disapproving of the gay lifestyle to some degree, and all conservatives. Even though the whole affair is ostensibly about 1st amendment rights, I doubt that placed more than a distant 4th place in importance in most of their minds if they thought about it at all. Its really about "giving Obama the finger" as someone in p&n put it.
I wish people would suddenly decide that shopping at my place of business is the same thing as sticking it to the man.
Free speech? I think not. Religious bigotry now is approaching the same levels of our history in the 1600's. Bring on the stakes!
Because a guy has opinion about marriage you think it has something to do with black people?
Black Activists: Liberal Protest of Chick-Fil-A is 'Ultimate Example of Intolerance'
From the article:
“I think liberals are missing a vital point in their blind hatred of Chick-fil-A,” Project 21’s Demetrius Minor said. “Being against gay marriage is not being anti-gay.”
Minor said the fast-food company, in fact, doesn’t discriminate against anybody, and it's a lie to try to say they do."
All the best,

Come on now, you know you're only supposed to pick and choose the parts of the ancient book that you can somehow make applicable to real life.

No I'm saying it's no different from any other kind of hate speech. This forum wouldn't tolerate us going on and on about how blacks should be slaves or using the word savages, yet we are perfectly ok with bashing gay people because it's just an 'opinion'.

That's good, because:
Leviticus 26:29-
You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.
I thought the issue was with Chic-Fil-A's philanthropic arm actively donating to organization(s) that promote the Biblical definition of marriage? People keep obsessing over "free speech" for some strange reason, but why am I surprised that religious folk put the blinders on?
(Oh, I went there!)

No one is saying gay people are inferior or a sub-human. It's more of a difference of "religion" which AT has no qualms about bashing.
I picked up Chick-fil-A last night for dinner for me and my wife. People getting into a huge uproar because the man was being honest about his belief just shows there's a double standard.
Gay rights groups want everyone to accept who they are but they can't accept the way other people feel? Grow up.
I think you would be wrong. I have no problem with gay people and some of my friends are gay. So what, its your lifestyle, do what you want. I do, however, draw a line at gay marriage. Actually, my problem is with the use of the word "marriage". I don't mind gay people living together and having a family, but its not a marriage, and as such, I cannot support it. I'm not bigoted towards gays and I would imagine most people arent, its just the Christian conservative majority that has a problem with gay marriage, not gay people.
I go out on facebook and twitter and other forums and see all these young people talking about how Chik Fil A is so anti gay. No, they aren't. The company as a whole has taken a stance against gay marriage, but does actively employ gay people. Sure, Chik Fil A's president gave money to many groups, some of which have an anti gay stance, but he gave money to them because they promote a traditional family environment. I give money to the united way and I'm sure, somewhere buried deep in there, you can find an organization or individual tied to an organization that has donated money to something I don't like. So what, its their perrogative.
Also, I'd go to chik fil a if they had one in my town.

Define biblical marriage and show how it is respected in america. I would say that most marriages in america are already non-biblical. I was married by a gay, drunk, cat lady in a park, as an atheist to my atheist wife. Is that the sanctity of marriage you want to protect?
I personally want to see the legal status of marriage removed. I do not want government regulating who can or can't get married. I want the government to take all the legal rights that go with marriage, and create a legal document that can be created between any two people regardless of race, religion, or sexual beliefs. Then you can let people who want marriage to go to churches and people who want legal protect to go to lawyers. In the end it gives us more freedom of religion and protects the rights of bigots and progressives alike.
Seriously, who the hell is bashing gay people here?
You are a very large part of what is wrong with this country and I wish you would dig a big hole and climb into it.
Who says it's about surprise? Does it make civil rights violation/discrimination okay?
What if I liked raping babies and actively provided my profit to pedophile groups, that's okay too right? It's free speech.
404 bashing gay people not found.
Just because someone is against gay marriage, that doesn't mean they are against gay people and their lifestyle.
