Who is eating at Chick-Fil-A today? (activity, homosexual, ethnic)

3. People are seriously overrating slavery. Get over it and forget about it. It's almost like it's politically incorrect to not say slavery is wrong. I'm of partial Black descent however, I must say that I don't think any current American citizen had anything to do with slavery. You're just giving other races more ammo to hate us more than they already do.

So slavery is overrated? Just because you are partial Black descent doesn't excuse you from such a moronic statement. You need to stop worrying about who hates you, and seek the truth. I guess you feel the 6 million Jews being slaughtered in the Holocaust by the Nazi's is overrated also. What a freakshow!

I apologize to everyone else on this thread except Mr. Freakshow...I am not trying to turn this into a civil-rights thread.

This couldn't be more wrong.

Two consenting adults who love each other should be allowed to get married, provided they aren't already married to someone else.

It's an embarrassment for all of human society that some people can't grasp this simple concept.

There nothing stoping you now if a priest accepts it. Otherwise all you are fighting for us government benifits which should be gone. That way there is no issue. No worries about unfairness.

Not to plug the Libertarian party too much here, but the Libertarians have formally held a constitutional and consistent position on this issue since the 1980's, unlike Republicans or Democrats. See the link below (work/family safe). You either want the government out of people's personal business or you don't. For all you "conservatives" out there who really want big government to step in and meddle in private affairs, this is a great issue to help you do some introspective self-examination.

It's an embarrassment that you cannot grasp the simple concept of marriage being for one man and one woman!

Your side is eventually going to lose this fight. Enjoy your selfish, exclusive rights to marriage while they last.

As far as your post above, you attempt to make reasoned arguments, yet you are the one then driving off the cliff. You make it sound like there are no negative effects whatsoever on important issues concerning family or health. This whole issue is heated because there are negatives, otherwise there wouldn't be a controversy in the first place. One of the PR and political mistake the LGBT lobby/supporters make is failure to acknowledge the downsides and to play the victim card. You simply cannot assign 100% to genetics, this is not just an "either/or" or a civil rights issue like race. Everyone has propensities, with some being sexual. I don't deny that. But to argue there isn't a significant choice aspect is just plain denial. Any family lawyer will tell you they're seeing an increase of divorces over same-sex issues. Certainly the cultural and societal changes in the past decades make access, promiscuity, curiosity and so forth more available. People generally don't have biological children and then wake up one day and say "I'm gay, I want out." That's a cop out and a cover story for their self-centeredness which drives alot of this. So to argue this isn't a family issue is wrong. Lots of innocents get hurt over these decisions, at least acknowledge that.

We both know the history of HIV, let's not pretend there's no responsibility here. You can't have it both ways. The B in LGBT stands for what . bisexuality. There's one way. Then there's the husband who cheats on his wife. Or the drug user, the promiscuity of M2M (studies bear that out) and in the earlier days, the blood transfusion factor. Child trafficking too is a contributor (e.g. Thailand) Still, 70% of new infections are M2M. Can you really expect people not to have negative reactions to this subculture given the direct and indirect effects of HIV? Like it not, alot of people see the pride stuff, hear about the bathhouses or the cruising and are turned off politically to your cause. Yet nary a peep out of the lobby or the politicians. The same-sex marriage advocates would find their path alot easier if it joined in calling out its extreme elements, but instead it chooses to make it an us vs. them battle.

1. Who cares how people get married if the government is not in the marriage business. That's the point. Take government out of marriage and no one will be treated unfairly by it. It will be up to the priest , monk, etc. Let them marry thier couch. They just won't get legal reconition whether it be a couch or the opposite sex. Problem solved. Make sense?

2. I don't know about you, but I didn't choose to be straight and like females. So I have no reason to think someone has the power to choose who they are sexually attracted to.

3. Straight people get and spread HIV. Gays just don't use condoms like they should due to lack of education of safe anal sex. Anal sex is something straight couple do to. So it's an education issue.

I respect everyone's freedom of speech, but I will no longer eat there. I don't want my money going to the orginizations they support and because it was already crowded & overpriced and now it's a ZOO.

Are you expecting the minority opinion on this issue subjugating the will of the people by stacking the legislature or courts with someone who holds your opinion. Isn't that what the left always does to get something passed that most people do not want?

Seems to me you're the one in the minority:
