Did you read and understand that?

Good. Now, what say you about what these people should be contributing to, morally speaking?


Or is that just not a welcome angle of reasoning in your world?
First of all, the "study" was done by an agenda-driven group. Their findings are hardly credible. And propaganda coming from the LGBT community is rarely anything but drama and hyperbole. Their claim that "WinShape Foundation" is a hate group is absolutely absurd. A straight-up lie (which is typical of liberals).

In short, the very premise of all this drama is idiotic. Much ado about nothing.


That said, the owners of Chick-Fil-A should contribute to the charities they feel compelled to donate to. It's their money. They could run a million dollar ad in "The Advocate" for all I care. My patronizing of them won't change one way or the other.

Is this really what your arguments and retorts have dwindled to? Really?

What drama? LOL

As far as I can tell, you're the only one getting all excited over this.

Most of us are, like, "Meh. I guess I'll spend my money elsewhere."

I'm reading the HuffPo article. Drama indeed.

It's time to take the gloves off, when dealing with these homophobic a**holes, and hit them where it hurts the most. In the pocketbook.
But yet we tolerate the CBC.

Credibility of this article aside, do you really believe this?

So feeling compelled automatically makes your action right? This would mean there is no such thing as right and wrong, that anything that has ever been done was justified, because surely there is a compelling force behind every voluntary action. Is that what you're meaning to say?

This! THIS is a PERFECT example of what is SO wrong with the churchophobic, manic, communisitic left-wingers.

Pure nut-jobs, and angry & violent to boot!

There are people who feel that homosexuality is wrong. Deal with it. You cannot force your religious beliefs down their throats. What are you, the thought police?

Should I go out and bomb Planned Parenthood Clinics because I believe abortion is wrong? Or should I respect the FACT that they are entitled to their beliefs and practices, even though I abhor them? Should I find out who the doctors are, who perform abortions, then go kill them?


But mostly, when did the United States become some crazy remake of Nazi Germany? What are you people, crazy?

Uhm, two words: Oxycontin Rush.

Vitriol , hate and xenophobia comes from the far right.
