Btw, I don't believe that they are sinners (whatever that means anyway).
But you fail to see the irony of your post; you only "tolerate" people that agree with you. Where's the nobility in that?

I don't know you, but from your comments in this thread I would most likely not be too fond of you as a person if I did.
Supporting traditional marriage is not anti gay; disagreement does not equal hate. At least you're honest about hating me simply because I disagree with you. I am saddened by your intolerance, but respect your right to be so.

Not really. But I do not like that Christian groups want to prevent gay people from getting married and declare them sinners. Mind your own damn business. They do not tell you how to live.

Pursuing legislation and social policies that deny gays the ability to marry is anti-gay. There is no way around that.

Get over yourself, I never said I hate you. What I did say is from your comments I would most likely not be fond of you as person. Reading comprehension is fundamental.

Wow...I could not believe how many people came out to support freedom of speech. The Chick fil-a near me was jam packed with people in the drive thru and folks waiting just to get in!

WHAT?!?!?!?!? That's exactly what you guys on the left do do. Act like us, think like us and vote like us or we will call you a "hater" bigot" "racist", etc. In this very thread everyone of you on the far left are telling me exactly how I should live. How can you not see your own ironic double standard?

Gman's got it right; he supports gay marriage, but also understands that stifling free speech and demonizing anyone that has differeing opinions is UnAmerican.

Okay, I'll flip it around. Redefining marriage to fit an agenda is Anti-Taditional Marriage. You want to redefine marriage. There is no way to get around that. As for your other insults, you yet again prove my point about hateful leftists. For some reason you guys are virtually incapable of making a point without insulting the other person.

I would argue the exact opposite. When one group of people tells another group, "You better think like us, act like us and vote like us, or we will destroy you. We will call you hater, racist, bigot, etc." That is very, very scary and a slippery slope that we are one.

You got it. The reason I am supporting Chick-Fil-A is because they are standing up for what they believe in and not caving in to what the media wants them to. I respect that.
