You give willful ignorance new meaning here.

Your desire to come and steal from me violates my rights. So the"right" you think you have, since it violates my rights to not have my property stolen, is invalid. The LGBT community wanting the right to marry does not violate your rights in any way. Is this getting through... By blocking the LGBT community you ARE violating their rights. You ARE forcing them to believe what you believe.

See you don't realize that you see your truth as being the only truth that matters. If I told you that I supported gay marriage, I bet you wouldn't say that I'm trying to have people live by my beliefs. The only difference that you see is that you agree with gay marriage. But the fact that the only issue you really have is that these ideas don't agree with your ideas, shows you are narrow minded and ethnocentric.
Please, tell me how LGBT people getting married is violating your rights or forcing you to believe or doing anything?

Funny how that happens. I always chuckle when I drive by a corner where the government paid-for cell phones are being applied for, as that whole situation is a source of much debate on this forum.

Typical leftie. What does bigotry have to do with liking their chicken nuggets? I will answer for you...nothing!! This is why i am SO sick of, and no longer support, the freaking gay community!!
Nothing, other than you enjoying their food is supporting someone else's bigotry. If you were a gun nut, for example, and they actively pursued gun control, would you help fund their anti gun campaign?

Honestly, the creepy (because they are so small and hidden) In-and-Out verse numbers are far more off putting because of their surreptitious appearance than some company where the higher ups admit to holding a view I may disagree with. It is not like Chik-fil-a puts little anti-homosexual messages in 9 point font on the underside of the cup rims.

I've never seen any homophobic verses on their cup rims. The only one that I noticed was John 3;16, the one that says that God gave us his only begotten son, hardly a homophobic verse. You could be right. But if someone from the in n out family had donated to militantly anti-gay org or FOR Prop 8, it surely would have been detected by now.

I have every right.....that's what you gay community bit*ch about, rights......to enjoy food anywhere I want and not be judged for it. It doesn't matter what the owners beliefs are, I myself have every right to form no opinion and enjoy the services offered without being judged by a judgmental, pathetic group of people.

You want acceptance and tolerance, but you sure don't want to give the same.

And stop expecting everyone to fight your battles. I have my own battles and I certainly do not expect others to take on my causes or concerns or issues.

Typical selfish "I've got mine, you get yours" mentality that is all too common in this country. What problems do you have that are so immense? Enjoy your food, fattie.

Is it possible that stayinformed40 (oh, the irony!!!!) thinks that everyone that has a problem with Chick-fil-A donating money to anti-gay organizations is gay? How very strange. Concern for equality luckily transcends many people's personal identities.

I sure wish that I could rep you again, helen.

Never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
